RECEIVER FOR THE MOBILE 8
OHIO RAILWAY.

A receiver for the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad is asked for by two Of the
stockholders, L. Edmonds, OF Virginia
and Geo. L. Venney. of Massachusetts.
These are stockholders OF the Mo-
bile & Ohio Railway who refused to
concur In the sale to the Southern and
they desire to restrain the manage
ment OF the Southern from operating
the Mobile & Ohio. They ask that a
receiver be appointed to take charge
Of the latter property and conduct or
operate the same under direction Of
the court. They ask that persons now
acting as officials Of the Mobile Il
Ohio be prohibited from operating it.,
and that the receiver, when appoint.
ed, advertise the names of all Mobile
& Ohio stockholders so that it can be
ascertained who are owners OF the
road.
When this Is ascertained the receiv.
er is to be directed to call a meeting
Of stockholders for the purpose Of
electing new officers and determining
the future conduct and policy Of the
road, and when directors and officers
are so elected the receivership is to be
dismissed.

SIM0NP PURE DEMOCRACY.

u am a Democrat" said David D.
Hill several years ago and his views Of
as given in a commuuica.
tion to the Philadelphia Times of re.
cent date are Of the original Jeffer'
standard.
Following is a summary OF his ar.
ticle: =.
"Our party is the great conserva.
tive force in the country today and
absolutely necessary To It's welfare.
1t stands against radicalism of every
description. 1t is opposed to pluto.
cracy on the one hand and to commu.
nism on the other. 1t is opposed to
Imperialism In the Philippine islands,
and also anarchy In Cuba.
ut respects the vested rights OF
capital and at the same time sympa.
thizes with labor oppressed. 1t has
no alliance with powerful corporate
interests, neither is 1t in league with
demagogues who disturb society ana
agitate for the mere sake Of agitation.
1t does not regard the possession OF
wealth as a crime, not ven as a badge
OF honor; nor does IL consider poverty
as either a disgrace or a virtue. 1t
makes no war upon classes, but Op.
poses corrupt and vicious systems and
methods wherever they are to be
found.
ut has no use for passing "isms" OF
the hour.
1T proposes as its general policy to
adhere to the fundamental principles
upon which the party was founded by
the great jefferson himself.
I'm that path there Is safety, honor
and success.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

II Governor Longino recommends
to the next session of the legislature
the passage OF a law providing for a
uniform system Of primary elections
throughout the State, as it is gener.
ally believed that he will, the subject
Is likely to become one Of very ami
mated discussion during the session
and Il wide variety of views will be
brought out.
Thus far a majority of the members
who have expressed themselves on the
subject favor the passage OF such a
measure although they differ consid.
erably as to the detail OF its provi.
sions. Hon. e. II. Moore, State
Senator from Bolivar and chairman OF
the judiciary committee of the senate
says;
mississippi needs a uniform pri.
mary law and it will undoubtedly
pass at the next session OF the legis.
lature, as it should. l understand
that Governor Longino will recom.
mend it., a majority Of the members
OF the legislature, in my opinion IA.
vor it and the people Of the State are
demanding it. The uniform primary
law would have passed at the last
session had the proper kind Of bill
been framed. 1t will require much
careful consideration before a suita.
bic measure can be adopted. however,
and the members should now com.
mence to give it a painstaking study,
Hon. E.. N. Thomas, chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
lower house, says:
Personally, | favor county option
on the subject OF primaries; each
county being allowed to determine its
own method Of selecting candidates.
However II uniform law is. TO be
adopted | shall favor having county
officers chosen on one day and State
Officers on another. day. The habit OF
trading, of a governor for a constable
should be abolished and l shall op-
pose any measure providing for all
primaries on the same day. In my
humble opinion the next session OF
the legislature should do nothing but
pass the revenue and appropriation
bills and redistrict the State and then
adjourn. All other matters should be
left for the regular session."

why the tools or instruments OF a
practicing physician or dentist are
not exempt from taxes the same as

are not taxed, and they are not ex.

RAILROAD NEWS.
SOUTHERN TO PARALLEL THE L. 4 N.
ON THE COAST.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
And now comes the story from
Scranton which has been the ''topic
Of conversation on the street." that
the Southern Railway is to parallel
the Louisville and Nashville along
the Gulf Coast and come into New
Orleans by that route.
There Is not much novelty in the
statement that the Southern has its
eye on New Orleans for a terminal,
but the various and sundry ways In
which it is to be done are the inter.
esting features. Some claim that the
purchase OF the New Orleans and
Northeastern is the only thing
thought of by Mr.. Spencer and Others
that a new route will be run down
direct from Meridian; while the Gulf
coast theory has not been without its
supporters. 1t may be taken as as.
sured however, that were the latter
attempted there would be a healthy
and robust fight put up by the Louis.
vile and Nashville before it was ac.
compllshed. From the public stand.
point it would not be such a bad
thing, though the necessity OF another
line along the Gulf coast between
New Orleans and Mobile is question.
able. The Louisville and Nashville
can pretty well care for all traffic and
is just now going in to warm things
up a bit In the way OF increasing the
popularity Of the resorts. The Scran-
ton story came to the Times. Demo.

To-day the topic of conversation
on the streets is the prospective ex-
tension Of the Bay Shore Railway by
the Southern to this place. Knowing
ones avOw the Southern Is DESTROYS OF
reaching a terminal at New Orleans
by way OF the Mississippi Sound coast.
A %well.known railroad engineer said
to the Times Democrat correspondent
that owing to the great amount of
bridging between St. Elmo, Ala. and
New Orleans, the Mobile and Ohio
Company deferred its plan OF running
its line parallelinv the Huntsville and
Nashville into the Crescent City, but

AFTER SHIP ISLAND.
PRESIDENT OF THE STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH NOT PLEASED WITH
THE COAST CONDITIONS.
Biloxi Herald.

DR.. II. A. CANT, president of the
State board OF health, in his report
rendered July 26, takes occasion to
say that he has Every little confidence
In the gulf coast protection which is
inadequate at all seasons and especial.

self as to existing conditions before
working his lever over the gulf coast
with a hope of securing a State ap-
preparation for his board. But the
country at large has a right to know
these conditions. A large appropri.
alton has recently been made and
many safeguards have been thrown
around Ship Island quarantine sta.
tion. Day and night steamers patrol
the waters and men patrol the north
and south beach, both day and night.
What better protection does DR..
Cant want established? 1t Is learned
from ship captains coming out Of
quarantine that the system at Ship
Island Is as strict as it is in any part
OF the world. The Herald is free to
say to DR., Cant that there Is not one.

from Ship Island under the system in
vogue there at the present time as
existed 'along the gulf coast during
the rotten quarantine system in this
section in 1S97.'9S. In 1897 the State
board of health had a large appropri.
alton behind 1t, yet its quarantine
was a farse, a delusion and a snare.
In that year parties from infected
districts visited non.infected districts
and mingled freely with the people in
the latter, enjoying fishing parties,
eating and drinking together, etc.
In 1893 the wise and patriotic State
board OF health tied a portion OF this
coast country up but it availed them
naught, for a big State appropriation
failed to follow. OF all the damnable
outrages ever perpetrated on a suffer.

they pay wages upon which a doctor

Such a quarantine is the bane of good
