The Movement SOuthward.

A few years ago capital and i'm
migration sought the West, says the
States, but southwark no is now the
cry, and the movement in this di-
rection seems to be materIalizing
very rapidly. Quite a number OF
thriving Southern cities have report
ed within the past fortnight the pres
ence of Northern capitalists who are
prospecting with the view of making
investments in real estate and estab-
fishing manufacturing enterprises,
while immigrants from the Northwest
in large bodies are looking for suita-
BILE homes. There has been mark
ed revival Of the manufacturing in
dustry within the last two months,
and the promise is that before the
year is out there will be a number of
new steel plants and cotton mills In
operation. Telegraphic report shows
that the day is not far distant when
there will be a stampede of New En-
gland cotton mill owners to the South
as a result of the movement already
started in tins direction by the spin
ners Of Lowell and other manufact-
uring towns in Massachusetts. New
England has come to realize that the
South is destined to be the center of
the cotton spinning industry Of the
country and its mill owners are hast
enlng to get a comfortable position
on the ground floor. They now ap-
preciate the fact that the South offers
superior advantages in the shape of
cheap coal, excellent and reliable la
Dor, warm climate and a ready mar
ket, and unless they embrace these
advantages it will be impossible for
them 10 compete with the products Of
the Southern mills. There is q great
opportunity and a hearty welcome
for the New Englanders in the South,
and it is to be hoped that they will
not delay their coming, but come at
once and get top seat on the wave
of prosperity which is soon to roll
over this section of the country, the
resources of which are now attracting
much attention at home and abroad.

WHY LINGER2

"No money in the treasury and
consequently Bay st. Louis can have
neither lights nor water works." so
says our all-wise city council. This
conclusion is similar to Others which
have been reached in the council
room by our learned officials. Is
this to be tolerated by our intelligent
taxpayers? Shall the city be de-
derived of these necessities simply be-
cause our city fathers say the nee
essary amount of funds do not hap
pen to be ON hand? The apparent
obstruction TO every progress
i've mind will appear ancient and un-
deserving of serious consideration.
II the greater projects of this world
had been delayed upon the same
basis the stage coach Of Americas
childhood would never have been
supplanted by the gigantic railroads
which are to-day traverslng and con-
Meeting this vast continent. No
factory smoke stack would be the
outlet Of thousands upon thousands
of dollars, industries Of all kind
would be practically dead and this
great world in q state Of innocuous
desuetuIe-such would be the condi-
tions Of affairs If the history OF the
Bay was the history of the world.
The probabilities are If we have to
wait until the city's revenue will
aggregate TO the required amount to
begin operation We will never have
lights or water and in fact nothing at
all except what every administration
has hobby for-the occasional she'll
ing CT an unknown and unfrequented
alley. Borrow the money at reas-
enable rate of interest-the city's
credit is good for few dollars-and
proceed with the work. DO not let
these important questions go beyond
you. Do not let another administra-
tion boast Of doing that which you
yourself might do. After all it Is
but question of money and what is
few cents more per year in COM
parison to what we shall get in re-
turn?

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

The political situatio in the Re.
public of France is anything but
pleasant just now, and to solve the
problem IS perplexing even the most
learned sources. Tuesday M. CAST
mir PerIer, the president who sue
ceeded the lamented Carnot, tender
ed his resignation of the high office,
and this move following so closely
upon that of the ministry has caused
CONSERVATION. The friends of the
president have several excuses, one
being the masses did not appreciate
his efforts which were conscientiously
executed for the general good and it
would be far preferable to resign
rather have the dignity OF his Office
pale before public opinion. At the
present rate our sister republic has
a change in the ministry nearly every
year, eVidencing the existence or
dissatisfaction in the administration
which gives reason TO fear the return
Of moDarchy's rule. France has ex-
perimented twice in its present form
of government and failure has been
the fate, the country being attacked
by revolutionists and socialistic IN
fuences. This now threatens the
situation and can only be syerted by
some man Of firm character and OF
an iron will. That is the only way
France will hold it's redemption from
crown power and stay the ravagcs
of sccialistie power which yearns
necessarily for la belle France,

ALDERMAN Won GOHREN'S PRO-
POSED ORDINANCE.

That the local press, aotuated by
spirit of true and consistent pro-
gressiveness has seen fit to advocate
the measure proposed by Alderman
L. II. Won Gohren at the meeting of
the city council last Monday night
a week ago to prohibit the discharge
OF fire arms within the city corporate
limits, seems TO have disturbed the
minds Of many and majority Of
these are people who own guns them
selves. 1t seems, unfortunately,
characteristic for Bay St. Louis to
be in the rear of all public spirited
and true progressive practices, and
so the towns prosperity is made
stagnant by people who fail to take
the broad view Of all things. To
merely exist and not prosper is tt o
ancient and especially so for city
like Bay st. Louis in this the enlight-
ened nineteenth century. The argu-
Inent In disfavor of the proposed
measure is found on the allegation
that game abounds only within the
city limits and the poor man who
sold a dozen or two of birds last
week while the weather was unusual
ly cold Will not make a living. Is
there any one man who has earned q
livelihood for himself and family in
Bay st. Louis on q few birds official
negligence allows him to capture in
certain favored limits? For the sake
of few dimes which can only be
made during cold weather in this
land OF sunshine, our city must be
relegated to the rear and be classed
undesirable. For the qualification of
a few sportsmen and one or two lazy
and thriftless individuals who make
few cents are we going to make the
larger and better class suffer their
homes in the very midst of a city
converted into a hunting ground
almost similar to the battle field
with bullets through the air whistling
sounds of sudden death in your ear,
while the bullet previous to the fatal
one singes your hair or whiskers and
nips an ear or you" nose as q warn
ing Of the inevitable end? Be less
sympathetic, you city aldermen and

ter guided. The people should and

A Convention of his Own,

From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger :
The other day when the Cotton
Growers Convention was in session
here, there was farmer named
Campbell from Rankin county, in
the city. He came to sell a lot of
produce-some fine pork sausage,
chickens, turkeys and molasses.
A prominent gentleman of this
city stopped him and asked him if he
was in attendance on the cotton
growers meeting.
"No," said he. 81 am not. About
four years ago, after struggling
along and having an awful time to
make both ends meet, 1 held a little
cotton growers convention of my own,
and just decided to quit planting
so much of it. Since that time have
never bought a pound of meat, mo-
lasses, hay or anything that ought to
be raised on farm. / always have
meat and produce to sell. This year
l made four barrels Of moIasses, 100
bushels of good corn, five bales of
cotton. besides lot Of truck have
to sell. Me and one nigger did this.
| don't owe a cent, and have money
In the bank, and as fine lot Of corn
fed hogs. which are as good as money
on my place."
There is no use to point moral to
this. 1t is too plain.

Keep your eye on the newspaper,
says an exchange, and see which Of
the merchants wants your custom
and are sufficiently courteous to ln-
vite you to call. There is much more
in advertising than you think. It is
not to tell of his goods that a man
advertlses, but it is to invite the peo-
pie who read--the thinking, intelll-
gent--to pay him visit, and to
judge for themselves as to quality
and price of what he offers for sale.
People read advertisements. Don't
make any mistake about that. They
are just as much interested in know
ing where to buy to an advantage
as the advertiser is in selling his
goods.
