Our Eastern Neighbor.

Ye scribe enjoyed few hours soiourn
in the thriving town of Cleveland during
the past week, and while there had the
pleasure of meetinga number OF the lead
ing citizens of the eastern capital who,
one and all, are enthusiastic over the
prospects for the future growth of their
city, as evidenced by the healthy build
ing boom now in progress. A number
OF new enterprises are projected, and her
citizens are determined to make Cleve-
land one of the leading towns OF the
delta The base ball fever also has the
town in its grasp, and their strong anna
teur nine captured two victories this
week, one from Shelby and the other from
Ruleville. The eastern capital is also
noted for the number and beauty OF its
fair daughters, than whom no town has
more staunch and ardent defenders and
promoters, as the lone Democrat man
soon discovered to his cost. With such
an array of feminine loveliness as her
chief attraction, Cleveland should be q
veritabie mecca for bachelors. Success
to our eastern rival. May she continue
to grow aud mey her fair champions
increase in beauty and power.

Not a Christmas Gift.

1t is stated that DR.. Christmas, of
Holmes county, will be a candidate for
congress from this district. Except Tor
the pleasure of making the acquaintance
of the people of the district the Doctor
will spend his time and money in such
canvass to find it but vanity of vanities'
The nomination will not be Christ
mas gift. Ben Humphreys has what
may be called a ''cinch" on the voters of
the district Everybody likes him ex-
cept perhaps few transient citizens
whom the duties of his office have COM
PEELED him to send into temporary exile.
Think better OF it Doctor and don't mar
the glorious record the state is going to
make by sending three of it's honored
sons to congress without a contending
candidate against either.-Greenville

Serious loss and much inconvenience
have been caused both to shippers and
the railroad by the unnecessary detention
to cars in loading and unloading freight.
Shippers are often unable to procure
cars, tracks are encumbercd, and the
speedy movement of freight is impossi-
bic under the practices that have pre-
vailed. The railroad company has re-
solved to correct this evil. and has issued
the notice printed below:

We are advised that Mr.. John Lobdell
has let the contract for handsome
brick business block. to be erected on the
loe adjoining Mr.. Reinach's new store
now in course of construction. The
building will be OF brick, two stories in
height, ofsimilar design as the adjoining
structure The lower floor will contain
two handsome stores, while the upper
floors will be divided into offices, which
have already been leased to some OF our
professional men for number of years.
We also understand that Mr.. w. B.
Roberts will erect two story brick nd
joining Mr.. Lobdell's building, at an
early date. These structures, together
with the handsome brick law office of
Messrs. Chas. Scott, Woods & Scott,
which will be erected in the near future, on
the same square, will add greatly to the
appearance of Court street, and give to
kosedale one of the finest business blocks
in the Delta. Other contracts are pro-
iected, and the boom continues. Watch
us grow.

Lord, Is 1t I?''

There were 13 at the table--omirous
number-and one of them was contem-
plating an act which would bring con-
fusion upon all. 1t was not-a swell sup
per, but a simple gathering Of poor men
who had passed some time in close com
panionship and harmony. The question
was put to the man at the head of the
table because he had said that one OF Il e
party was about to dissever their frater-
nal relations and to put in peril their lib
erty and their lives.
Now to go from the sacred to the pro-
fane--and we do not know Of anything
that is farther from all that is sacred than
party politics-we desire to put in pro-
test against threatened disturbance of
the political harmony of the Third con
gressional district; and that, too, by one
whose name is haloed throughout all
christendom as the symbol of peace on
earth good will to men," Wehope that he
will think better of it and say to the Satan
of ambition: "Get thee behind,me." The
only effect OF his candidacy will be to balk
the record this district will otherwise
make as one of the trinity ofcongression-
al districts i'll which there was no strife
and the candidates from each were sent
to congress with the unanimous vote OF
the people. To make this possible in this
district two Of its ablest and most honor
ed sons have refused to be candidates.
And now we trust that Holmes will not
Interfere with this harmonious feeling.
The people of the entire district are salts
fed with Ben Humphreys, and he will
pass the primaries so far ahead that the
other man if he persis is in being a can
didate, will feel like he had been hitched
to post.-Greenville Spirit.

The Panama Canal Wins.

Yesterday the Senate and House of
Representative finally agreed to the con-
ference report on the interoceanic canal
bill, the House receding from its advoca-
cy of the Nicaragua canal route and ac-
cepting the Senate's substitute, which
provides for the Panama route. This
settled the matter as far as congress is
concerned and the bill now goes to the
President for his approval.
AS there is no doubt as to the Presi-
dents attitude, it is safe to assume that
the bill will shortly be signed and become
law. Nothing will then remain in the
way of the practical Inauguration of
work OH an interoceanic canal but the
investigation OF the title of the French
Company controlling the Panama route
and it's transfer to this country.
While it is true that many people in
this country favored the Nicaragua route
under the belief that it would be more
representative American canal, the ac-
ceptance oil the Panama route by con-
the Interoceanic Canal Commission, has
definitely settled the matter, hence it is
in order for everybody to turn their inter-
est and attention to the route across the
isthmus rather than indulge in vain re-
grets over the failure to accept the Mica
ragua route. After all, the Panama
route offers advantages which the other
did not, the most important being that
the route selected is by far the shorter, it
can be more readily navigated. and hav-
ing been already partially built, can be
completed in a shorter period and proba-
bly, at a smaller outlay.
As far as New Orleans is concerned, our
commerce will be quite as much benefited
by the opening of the Panama canal as
by the construction OF the rival route
New Orleans is the nearest or the large
American ports to the eastern end OF the
Panama canal, and will consequently
reap Just as great advantages through
the opening of the canal across the 18TH
mus, as would have been the case had
the Nicaragua route been chosen.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
French Company, which owns the canal
concession, would not have offered to
sell and transfer clear title were it not
in it's power so to do, hence there is tie
room for anxiety ON that score.-Pica-
yune.

1t is believed that there are now living
only four members of the great Secession
Convention Of 1861, hence it. is impor-
tant that q record be made of the men,
bership and work of that body of distin-
guished men. The surviving members of
the convention are Judge Thomas H.
Woods, of Meridian; Judge S. H. Terral,
of the supreme court; Judge ]. A. Orr, OF
Columbus. and Col NJ. D. L. Stephens,
OF Water Valley.
Judge Woods has consented to prepare
for the department. OF archives and his
tory a monograph on that epocli-mak-
ing meeting, Judge Woods is a great
jurist, he is also a man OF scholarly at
tainments, and the director of the de-
partment of archives and history is to
be congratulated on gaming the consent
of the eminent lawyer to undertake the

INSURANCE LAWS.
III for Convention to Meet at jack
SON to Remedy the EVIL.

Below we publish the resolutions
&dopted by the Vicksburg Cotton Ex-
Shange, seeking to arouse public senti-
kent in the matter of calling special
Y 1cssion of the legislature, to readjust the
.fwsurance laws Of the State, particularly
Zaathey apply to the insurance on cotton.
is a matter of vital Importance to
.,Sur people. Here, where the chief indus
Try is the growing of cotton, and in
tnich every man is more or less directly
e6hcerned, the evil effects of the new in
rance laws will cause serious loss to
@t1& producer and buyer alike. The
Nieksburg Exchange has acted wisely in
;S3 matter and should have the hearty
II active cooperation Of every COM
eial body and cotton producer in the
AXte. While the time may be too brief
organized effort, nevertheless strong
elegation should go from this county
10 Jackson to aid in the movement. Let
every planter and merchant who can do
$50 attend this convention. Go as an in
adividual and as the representative of the
Ebanner cotton county of the State, and
by your presence and with your voice
encourage the movement inaugurated by
the Vicksburg Exchange. The interests
OF the cotton producer demand a change
in the present insurance laws, and 1t
s.1Uuld be made before the new crop be-
gins to move. True, an extra session of
/ the legislature will be heavy expense,
but the public welfare demands the cor
rection of the flaws in the recently adopt
ed insurance laws. And it should be
made without delay. We hope our
county will be we'll represented i'll the
convention. Following are the resolu-
tions referred to:
RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Vicksburg Cotton Ex-
change, June 10, 1902.
Whereas, The present Insurance laws
of Mississippi are found to operate a
gainst the agricultural and commercial
interests of the State, particularly in
that cotton in bales cannot be insured
except by marks and numbers which is
absolutely impracticable, thereby affect

Whereas, immediate legislation is inn
perative because new cotton season is
most at hand
Therefore, be it resolved. BY the Cot
ton Exchange of Vicksburg that the
Governor be requested to call a special
session OF the Legislature at once to
make such changes in the existing laws
as will relieve the situation and best
subserve the interests of the entire State.
Resolved, That all cotton exchanges,
commercial bodies and cotton producers
of the State be urged to cooperate i'll
the movement and to Join inthis request.
Resolved, That convention be held
at Jackson, in the Hall of Representa-
tives, Wednesday, July End. at $3.50 pm.
to formulate resolutions to be presented
to the Governor to urge him to call
special session Of the legislature for this
purpose.
Resolved, That commercial bodies and
and cotton producers be urged to attend

There Is, perhaps, no better indication
of the improvement in building cond-

artistic and beautiful within. The time
was when house was a house.. and any
old thing in the way of wall paper or col
ored whitewash would do to cover the
baroness Of the interior walls. There is
now a distinct tendency TO decorate-and
not only to spend money literally for
decorations, but to make them entirely
artistic. u
Some Of these conditions were reviewed
