We should and must have a rail
road to Leakesville. Without it we
will always be in the back ground,
while villages from 20 to 80 miles
away are rapidly growing and becom-
ing distributing points of considerable
importance. Our progress is of the
slow kind.
Why not secure for Leakesville all
the distributing west of the Chicka-
sawhay river and for good distance
East by the acquisition of a railroad.
Coupled with the railroad we would
have the telegraph, that would give
us the quick communication We are so
badly in need of now. With a rail-
road the long hauls for groceries, etc.,
to Escatawpa and other points would
be a thing Of the past; no more long,
tiresome drives to reach the railroad
would be necessary.
We would have ready transportation
for hewed tinker and logs and right
in our little city would be heard the
buzz of the circular saw and the chat
ter Of the planning mill besides the
whir of other machinery; no doubt
but what many industries would
spring up as if by magic. How is the
bact ,aanc ~ oat ,.oilroo69
The Vinegar Bend Lumber Co.,
have their railroad within eight or ten
miles of US and no doubt with the
proper encouragement they would ex-
tend their road on to Leakesvile and
operate it for public traffic; they have
even intimated as much.
Would the business that they would |
get pay them? We think not, at
least not for many years, for it costs
thousands of dollars to build only a |
few miles of railroad. Then some
other inducement must be offered in |
order to get them to make this costly |
outlay in extending their line here. |
Timber lands that are worth say 81. so |
would be worth at least twice that
amount if we had railroad and lands |
now worth $500 would be enhanced
in value to $1,000. 1t is our opinion
that if the Vinegar Bend Lumber Co.,
owned enough pine lands or could
buy it, on the west side of the river,
that they would not hesitate to extend
their line to Leakesville and as far
west as necessary, which would give
everybody shipping facilities and
greatly enhance the value of their
property and Leakesville would be on
a yerltable boom. Give us your opin-
ion We land owners.

Jackson, Miss. Auditor Cole is pre-
pairing a circular to send out to the
county pension boards relative to the
excessive increase IN the number Of
pension applications. These boards
will meet In the different counties
on the first Monday in September to
pass on the applications on file. The
circular Issued by the Auditor
will call attention to the unprecedent-
ed increase In the number of applica-
tions to date, and especially advise a
strict examination into their merits
before granting them. Unless the
county boards follow this rule 1t Is es-
timated that, in spite of the doubling
of the annual appropriation by the
last Legislature the prorata will be not
so very much larger than it was at the
last apportionment, because of the in
creased number of pensioners. By
suDJechnS III cialus W CareLul scEu
tiny the number will be considerably
cut down and the amount be divided
among the really worthy pensioners
will be proportionately increased. I'm
der the law passed By the last legisla-
turs the chancery clerk, sheriff and
board of supervisors constitute the
county pension board.

the past two years, the production
has increased but about ten per cent

PLURAL VOTING-aGAIN.

We print elsewhere a communication
from a correspondent in which he heartily
approW.s The plan Of plural voting suggest
ed recently in The Times by Professor
r.. c. Minor, Of the University Of Vir-
ginia- Our correspondent thinks that Mr..
Minor has offered a solution of the suf-
frag. problem in Virginia, and he is de-
sErous that every interested citizen shall
read Mr.. Minors thoughtful paper.
We have already expressed our opinion
ON the subject Of plural voting, but what
ever may be said in behalf of Mr.. Minors
plan it is utterly impracticable in Vir-
GINA The people in this State Oeliev's in
manhc01 suffrage; they are opposed to
anything That smacks of moneyed aris-
tocracy, and if Mr. Minors scheme were
submitted to a vote Of the people it would
be overwhelmingly defeated.
