our officers do their duty they will
arrest every one of them who cannot
prove they are working for a living

mERIDIAN,s rIRsr PRIMARY.

The people OF Meridian held its
first primary for municipal officers
yesterday. AS will be seen they do
not favor the idea OF a man holding
Office until he dies with old age,
hence in the first primary the pres
ent mayor was showed under com
pletely and the other two candidates
for the mayorality will have to run
the race over. Eddie Dial, for a long
time mayor of the city, is candi-
date and no doubt he will run like a
scared rabbit In the second race.
While mayor he put more money on
the streets than al the others. But

A HITCH IN THE REMOVAL.

There seems to be some hitch in
the removal of the court house from
its present site at Mississippi City to
Gulfport and big fight over the re-
moval is promised. A special to the
Picayune has the following to say on
the subject:
"a protest was filed against the
county survey made upon the order
of the board at a previous meeting, 1t
being claimed that part of the county
on Deer Island and Cat Island had
not been included in the survey. The
board overruled the protest and
adopted an order removing the
county seat to Gulfpert, but pro-
viding for the holding of the meetings
of the board and the county courts at
the present site until another court
house is built. An appeal has been
taken and the compliments ex-
press the determination to contest
the matter through all the courts.
This will naturally entail much de-
lay. Public opinion is much against
the contest, it being urged that the
people have passed on the matter
and that should settle it,
1t would now be very interesting to
know the population of these Islands
and what interest the people living
on them have for a court house es-
tablished in any place in Harrison
county,

ers and Former Mayor E. Dial. Tt

ers and Dial. /. r. McElroy defeat
ed J. G. Lloyd, incumbent, for city

THE GovERNoR SET THE EXAMPLE

THE GOVERNOR SET THE EXAMPLE
The Natchez Bulletin handles the
subject as follows:
"If all that Is recited by Mr.. Rush
is fact, it certainly places the COVER
nor in a most unenviable attitude
before the citizens of Mississippi and
convicts him of duplicity and double
dealing that would not be credltable
to man in the most humble walks
of life, much less one occupying the
dignified and exalted position of
governor of a great state like this.
According to this statement of the
gentleman of SenatobIa Governor
Lengino set the example of loaning
out the states cash to the Jackson
banks, because there was a plethora
of it in the public strong box, which
is not regarded as at all sure against
the skilled burglars of the present
day and gave the treasury officials,
tacitly at least, to understand that
there would be no objection to dis
posing temporarily of more of the
public treasure in the same manner,
as long as there was no danger of the
state losing thereby"
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-08-06

1t is now about time Showers and
RaIford were saying something. The
Rush letter puts them out, with the
governor, in q bad light before the
people. Seine time ago a paper adj
vised these two men to go out west
and build up with the country as
they could never build up themselves
in this state. But before they go the
public wsuld like to hear their part
of the story, for no donbt it would be
very interesting, even the first chap
ter.

A PROSPEROUS STATE.

Mississippi is having some of the
best times it has ever had and the
people are more prosperous and con-
sequently more contented. New
public buildings are going up IN
many of the counties in the state,
and towns, which heretofore were
not worth two bits, are issuing bonds
to put in waterworks or electric
lights or other such improvements.
1t is very common thing now to
hear of town issuing several thou
sand dollars In bonds for this pur-
pose. Meridian voted for 100000 the
other day to put in waterworks,
though it has waterworks, and many
other towns have voted for bend Is
suance recently. II there is one that
has voted against it when it has had
an opportunity we have not heard
of it.
All this goes to show towns are
prosperous, and towns in state can
not be prosperous unless the people
of the state are prosperous. Another
idea here suggests Itself. If state
is in a prosperous condition foreign
capital will naturally drift to it.
This is shown BY the thousands Of
