KEEP ABREAST WITH THE
TIMES.

We are no prepared to say that the
city of Brookhaven will outstrip Jack
son or vicksburg in growth and popu-
lation In the near future, but serve
notice on our sister cities that it is i'm
portant that they keep a sharp look
out for their laurels. Our people
drink the purest artesian well water
from the city's well conducted plant
and have the brightest electric
lights at the smallest cost. Brook
haven is located on the great
Illinois Central system of railroads
that permeates large section of our
State, and in the midst of yellow
pine lumber region that is unsurpass-
ed in the Southern States. 1t may
also be stated that time serves to in
crease the friendly feeling and bust
ness relations between the people and
the railroads; each fully approaching
the dependence of one upon the other.
With our wealth of timber, the railroad
running North and South so graduates
and regulates freights and transpor-
tation, that the gigantic saw mills are
kept busy, as well as the army of work
ing men necessary to conduct them.
Thus it is that the large lumber in
dustry, together with farm products,
makes our country prosperous and in
sures a contented community. Rail
roads are most generous contributors
to all enterprises contiguous to their
lines. Indeed they are promotive of
industries. Without them no enter
prise of any magnitude can prosper
and flourish. So the policy of an active
up to date community is, or should be,
to encourage railroads fairly
with them-for in all OF their ramifica-
tions of business, railroads are abso-
lutely essential to success. We have
no federation for demagogic agitation
or legislation against railroads, nor ex-
orbitant and unjust verdicts that are
too often rendered by appeals to pref
udice. On the other hand, an intelli-
gent citizenship should, in cases of liti-
cation, where railroads are involved,
mete out that justice that obtains be-
tween man and man.
In this connection we may also state
that at no distant day, Brookhaven
will have almost direct railroad com
munication with Gulfport and the
deep water harbor to be constructed
there, which will insure still greater
growth and continued prosperity. 1t
is onlya question of time, and com.
paratively short time at that, when the
railroad line of the Pearl River Lum
Der Co. will be completed to the main
line of the Gulf & Ship Island Rail
road some where in Simpson county
This will give us access to two deep wa
ter ports New Orleans and Gulfport
over two separate railroad routes, with
all the advantages that will follow il
the way of competition, cheaper
freights, etc.
No, the man who has money to in
vest, need not fear to stake it on the
future growth and Importance of this
splendid little city. This is day OF
progress and money making, and every
important interest deserves encour
agement. The church, the school
agriculture, railroads, factories and
commerce must go hand in hand fol
all to reach success.

Urgent Call for Aid from Strick-
Ell India.

New York, Aug. 23-.The committee
of 100 ON India famine relief received
a cablegram from VIM. T. Fee, United
States consul at Bombay, chairman of
the American Indian relief committee,
which reads:
"Famine distress appalling. Thous-
ands will die of starvation unless res
cued. Money is needed to buy both
food and blankets. The suffering from
lack of clothing is terrible. Cholera
still active. The condition of dest-
tute women and children especially
pitiable. Many boys and girls in
heartrending R.sd."
