A Sound Policy,

Commenting on the withdrawal by
Governor Longino of the S250000 OF
capitol bonds advertised the Brandon
News says;
"The assessment rolls show large
increase in value, both of real estate
and personal, and full and free con
ference of the governor with the audi
tor and treasurer convinced the for
mer that he could Withhold the sale OF
any bonds for perhaps ten or twelve
months to come, and possibly for q
much longer time, thereby saving
many thousands of dollars to the State
in the way of interest.
Governor Longino, while progress
sive and ready to invite and encour-
age all substantial industries and in,
vestments of capital, is watchful
and careful that money appropriated
for the States welfare shall be judi
ciously expended.
''Public sentiment is in full accord
with the governors management of
the statehouse fund, and is satisfied
that the building will be erected and
not whisper about jobs, etc.
THE Lords truth is that Mississippi
is on the upgrade, financially and
otherwise. For years our people have
needed cheap money-a lower rate of
interest and the introduction and in
vestment of capital. For time
indeed, for many years, there
seemed to be a prejudice against cor
porations of every kind. This feeling,
we are pleased to see, from our es-
teemed contemporaries throughout
the State, has given way to wiser
and healthier view. Leading citizens
who contribute to molding public SEN
timent realized that railroads, cotton
factories, wool, wagon, fertilizer, blind
and sash factories are important in
dustries and absolutely essential to
the success and prosperity of an intel
ligent people. Old prejudices against
railroads are worn thread bare and
ought to be- In the whirl of time it is
realized that railroads are active civil
lizers; that wherever locomotive pen
etrates country Christianity and ed
ucation follow. Great railroads are
promoters of all substantial enterpris-
es; they are, especially in this country,
the largest taxpayers, and are always
ready to contribute generously to the
public veal.
1T would be blessing to the people
of north Rankin, Leake, Neshoba and
other sections of the country from
jackson to Columbus, for the atchez,
Jackson and Columbus Railroad to be
built. Its line would be through a
wealth of timber, besides affording
transportation and facilities to the
largest area of country in Mississippi
without a railroad.
1.-THE News stands for the fair treat
ment and encouragement of railroads,
the building of factories and improve
ment of public roads aud all other in
dustries that give employment to Ia
Dor and contribute to the wealth and
prosperity of the general public"

Charters to Be Slammed,

An internal revenue inspector has
called the attention of the secretary
of State to rulings of the treasury de
partment requiring
l. That all bonds given by State Off
GERS must have a so cent stamp at
tached.
2. That all domestic corporations
chartered since July /, 1898, must be
Stampede cents
3. That the charters of all foreign
corporations filed in the office of sec
rotary of State must be stamped
Proofs of publication, with accom-
panying affidavit, are not required to
be stamped, but the charter must be
stamped before it can be considered,
and those already granted must be
stamped to avoid penalty.

THE MAN WITH THE SWORD.

Drunk with the lust of conquest, sword in hand
Men hail and crown him hero, thro' the land,
Who. ruthless without pity. leads the strife
OF warning hosts, and spares not human life.
God Is not Knocked; though Justice may be blind
He bides His time and will repay in kind;
vengeance is Mine!" His wrath, If slow is sure
And Right will triumph and for aye endure.
We boast Of human progress, yet on earth
The strong prey on the weak as at Christ's birth
Unheeding the sweet message of good wiH
To men and peace" the angels bring us still.
The Cross Of Christ and not the sword of Cain
Should rule the world. with peace on earth again
Good rW 10 men" the herald angels sing,
Hailing the newborn Saylour-Heayen's King
Good will to men," on every palace wall.
lind peace on earth,' should s,eay the Senate hail.
Oh, hear the angels song: "Let war now cease
And hate and greed good will to men and peace y

DEMOCRATS ARE ORGANIZED.
In order to successfully contend
against political adversary, having at
its command limitless funds provided
by participants in it's policies of public
plumber, the Democratic National
Committee realizes that it must rely
upon the energetic, organized efforts
of the rank and file of the party. A
plan has been devised, involving the
selection of an active working Demo
crat in every voting precinct in the
United States, appointed and commits
stoned as the special representative of
the Democratic National Committee
in his precinct. This plan of organiza-
ton has been in successful operation
for several months and at this time
the National Committee has an accred
tied representative in more than half
of the voting precincts of the United
States.

Edgar Wilson in the New Orleans
Picayune, says: "a cotton gin for Be

company at Natchez, an electric light
plant for Pass Christian, wagon fact

METHODS or THE CANTON ICE
FACTORY.

The LEADER referred short time
ago to the tactics adopted by the Can
ton Ice Factory to crush out the com.
petition here of the Brookhaven Ice
Manufacturing CO., home institution
and secure a monopoly of the Brook
haven ice business by selling ice below
cost. We also copied an article from
the Crystal Springs Meteor, showing
that while the Canton Company was
selling ice in Brookhaven at 10 cents
per 100 to crowd out the Brookhaveu
Company, it had forced deal on the
Hazlehurst Ice Factory, whereby that
concern turned over its entire output
to the would-be Canton monopoly fol
% cents per 100, and that the Canton
Co. then turned around and sold this
very ice to the people of Hazlehurst
for 80 cents per 100-a clear profit OF
100 per cent.
A friend the other day handed us a
copy of the Canton Picket containing
an advertisement of the Canton Ice
Factory, which is interesting in this
connection as showing how the ambi.
tioue Canton combine treats its own
home people, when it comes to selling
them ice. Here is the adj, with some of
the irrelevant parts omitted. Read it,
Brookhavenites, you who have been Sc
duced into buying the Canton Co.'S ice,
sold here at 10 cents per 100 pounds to
break down home enterprise, which
does not want anything for It's product
but fair and reasonable price:
