tion Of the law, whether it applied to
the blind tiger. the Sunday law or
what not, it would be disastrous to
the best interests of Hattiesburg. He
further said that Hattiesburg, in
this respect. was peculiarly situated.
1t was in this respect between the
devil and the dark blue sea. 1t had
to allow liberties or its trade would
be hampered. II mill man getting
from fifty to one hundred dollars per
month comes 10 the city to make pur-
chases and have good time, because
good time can be had where a man
has the price, and is jerked up and
slapped in Jail the moment the odor
of whiskey is detected on this breath,
the next time he wants to have a good
time he will go to Mobile. If al
lowed greater privileges he will
spend at least fifty dollars if not all
his change in this city.
This is the business side of all ques-
tions that men consider first. The
most of mems hearts can be touched
easier and quicker through a pocket
book.

THE MAYORS ELECTION.

Yesterdays second primary cleo
ton which was to decide the contest
for mayor between Captain Rich and
T. A. Hightower was the closest and
most spirited race that ever took place
in this city for that Office. 1t was
not on account of the qualifications
of either man, for that was not
brought into the contest, for they
were only factor in the matter so far
as their personal character effects
the general public. 1t was some
thing deeper than this-an issue that
had naturally sprung itself on the
people and would not down even had
they so willed. This issue was
whether the affairs of the city should
be administered in an open and lib
eral way, allowing the citizen the
many privileges granted him by ma
ture, though seemingly somehwat vio-
lative of some of the authorized or
supposed laws of the state, or should
the strings be drawn tighter and
everything closed as tight rs bear
trap. In other words it was an issue
between non liberal, lockjaw policy
on the one hand and the liberal OPEN
mouthed policy on the other.
When the two propositions are dis
solved and analysed the main ingre-
dients will be found to consist of the
blind tiger, the prostitutes and the
nom enforcement of the Sunday laws
on the one side while the breaking up
of the blind tigers, running the pros
titutes out of the city and enforcing
the. Sunday laws so tightly that a
man would not be allowed any pr viii
eyes at all on the other.
The first won and the conclusion
can be drawn as one sees fit to draw
it. 1t won by a small majority. il
is true, but must be accepted as the
sentiment of the public had it been
100. 900.
To more fully explain this matter
the Progress viii give the conclusions
arrived at by one Of the most promi-
nent business men Of the city as he
expressed it to thisswriter He said
that he looked at tile matter from a
business standpoint and not from q

Some of the very best citizens Of
the city-true, honest Christian gen
tlemen- voted for that sterling gen
tleman, T. A. HightOwer, yesterday
for mayor, believing and hoping that
he would be elected so that many Of
the evils that effect this city could he
remedied. They We're not only in
earnest, but eminently correct. Still
under the present administration they
may have remedy at hand. As good
citizens they can make affidavits and
these will be respected. The present
administration cannot afford to ignore
them. 1t is compelled to listen to the
complaints of honorable and honest
citizens and act according to law. So
after all a great deal depends on the
citizenship of the city to correct the
evils which now exist.

NON PRODUCING WOMEN.

1t goes without saying that the
new leisure class is in a small minor
lty even among PEOPLE Of culture.
The average well-bred American wo-
nam still has many duties, still finds
an evening at Lohengrin, or trip to
Niagara a treat, and does not divide
peripatetic class between her city
apartment, Palm Beach, Pasadena,
Lakewood and the mountains with
every other year a trip TO Egypt,
Norway or Alaska. But the members
of the new class of non-producers who
have torn up their roots, who scarcely
know the meaning of civic duty, and
who think of social obligations" as
synonymous with party calls and buy
ing wedding gifts is greatly increas-
ing in proportion and influence. The
leisure class is now being tried at a
court of justice of which it little
dreams. The test of its ability to
win universal respect and unique
power is its ability to use leisure. To
it has more been given than to any
class of human beings who ever lived !;
for its members have greater privil-
eyes of culture and travel than many
a monarch and have not yet severed
their allegiance to what is best in the
land of Franklin, Emerson and
Phillip Brooks. TO whom much is
given, of them shall much be required
by every public when it comes to its
senses. -Lucie Ames Mead in The
Pilgrim for November.

1t appears from reading the article
published in yesterdays Progress and
reproduced from the Memphis News
that the high-priced people of New
Orleans are causing the loss Of the
Frisco system to that city on account
Of their Indifference to the entrance
Of this road or any other in their city.
This is suicidal way of doing bus
mess and the Progress hopes that Hat
teisburg will never adopt it. There
never was city with too many rail
roads for the good of the city and
never will be, especially do the cities
of the south need all the through
roads they can get. Hattiesburg has
been blessed in the number of roads
constructed here, but it is the city s
duty, looking at it from a business
point of view, to pull as hard for the
Frisco as it did for the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City, and to pull for
all other roads whose surveyors have
their compasses pointing i'll this direc'
tion. We need every road we can get.

1t now turns out that The States was

was shown how the Rock Island would
soon enter Galveston and that the NAL
lory Line would carry the roads freight
out over the Gulf in the same way that
the Morgan Steamship Line carried the
Southern Pacifc's freight.
: Now the Mobile special to The Plea

also to enter Mobile and that the same
traffic arrangement between the road and
the steamship line at Mobile is being
made that has already been made at Gal
weston.
The Picayune's special reads as follows
Mobile. Ala, July 17.-Despite oficiaI
denials from New York and Galveston,
it. is a fact that the Mallory Steamship
Company will operate its steamers. from
Mobile in future.It was learned today
that the Mallory people have not only
signed a lease for terminal facilities at
Mobile, but that they have signed a con-
tract with stevedores to load and unload
their freight. The stevedore firm with
whom the contract was made sent an
agent to New Orleans and employed a
number of freight handlers at Algiers
who will be thrown out of work when
the Southern Pacific transfers a part of
its feet to Galveston August 2. 1t is also
learned that the Mallory Line will not
abandon Galveston. but that all it's New
York steamers will make Mobile a regu-
lar stopping place between New York
and Galveston.
The fact has also been developed here
that the Mallory Company has formed
close traffic alliance with the Rock Island
Railroad. The Rock Island is behind the
