F1rwEKENor a PROHIBITION STATE

A brewery is to be established at
Webb in this state. 1t is a sure
enough brewery where beer will be
made by the hogsheads and will
taste just like the beer made i'm Mil
waukee and other places and will
make the drunk come just like other
beers If a person is capable of hold
ing enough of the stuff to produce
that effect. But the question arises
who is going to use it? OF course the
calculation is made that the con-
sumption in Mississippi will BE- very
large, but Mississippi is prohibition
state and the people don't drink beer.
Besides the people of this state are
notorious for sending away from
home for everything they use and
would send to Milwaukee for keg
of beer instead of sending to Webb.
At least they send off for nearly ev-
erything they use except the air they
breathe. Their literature comes from
the northern and eastern states and
all their feedstuffs, provisions and
farming utensils from other states.
Hence it is naturally supposed that
they will get their drinking stuff
from other states-that is if it were
not prohibition state.

SENATOR AIcLAURIN.

In order to show in what esteem
Senator McLaurin is held by the
people of other sections, we make
the following extract from the Car
roll County Pioneer, published at
Sanbornville, New Hampshire, I'M
der date of August 8:
Senator McLaurin is a fine speci-
men of the old time southern gentle
man, brought up to date, and the
writer does not wonder at his popu-
larity with his people, as he appears
to know every man, woman and
child, black or white, and has a
kindly word for all. Like most of
legal gentlemen of the south he has
fund of anecdotes at his command
and when on the street always has a
little crowd around him listening to
his conversation. He retains the
peculiar soft tones of voice of the
southerner that is heard in no other
section of the country, and is impos-
sible of imitation. Senator Nc
Eaurfn has maintained IFS position
In the senate with marked ability,
and his state is naturally very proud
of him"
That is as true as if it had been
taken from the bible, especially tn at
part where it is stated that he knows
every white or black man and nearly
every woman and child in the
state. He has made it his business
to know all of them, and if one of
them should be stuck in the mud he
would be the first one to pull him
out, even if he had to wade III mud
up to his chm to do so. While In his
presence some men will actually fall
just to have him help them up, and
if he ever failed to perform this
service it was because one of his
brothers, who happened to be stand
ing nearby the fallen man, did the
| helping first. There is one thing
about the McLaurins that is COM
menable-they will not desert a
friend who has befrieuded one of
them, especially in political battle,
and if there is any way to work him
into office he will do 1t. The great
est regret with the McLaurins is
there are not enough offices for all
their friends whom they would ap-
point or elect and let their enemies
go to hades.

To his Excellency, Governor A. H. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi;
We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re.
spectfully petition your excellency tC
pardon Isham Boothe. convicted OF
arson at the October, 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict of the county of Perry, state OF
Mississippi, and sentences to a term OF
five years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First. Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefinite. unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe conviction should be al
lowed to stand;
Secohd. The principal state witness.
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third We believe. as matter of
fact. that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, because of testimony unworthy
Of belief (not criticising conrt Gr jury);
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends of
justice have been met,-that he is re-
formed and will make a law-abiding
citizen from this time forward; and we
believe his record in the penitentiary
will confederate this view.

A Notable Health Resort.

The Ozone Belt of Louisiana situated
in st. Tammany parish, lying immedi-
ately north of of Lake Pontchartrain, a
piney woods country traversed by the
East Louisiana railroad, connection OF
the Queen and Crescent Route, and at
Its fartherest point. Covington, La,
only sixty miles by rail from New Or
leans, the metropolis OF the south, is
perhaps the least known and least writ
ten about than any health resort in the
country, and yet has in the immediate
vicinity the best reputation TO- health
giving qualities of any locality in the
south, if not in the whole country.
1T has long been recognized by the
residents of New Orleans and the ate
of Louisiana as place where those suf
fering from lung troubles, feYers, stom-
ach, liver and other organic diseases, as
we'll as general debility, can obtain per-
feet rest and almost instant relief, ard
In most cases permanent cure. So con-
tident are residents of this favored 10
cality of its perfect healthfulness and
their immunity from contagious diseases
that quarantine against infected local.
tiles is never considered necessary or
desirable. The most noticeable fea-
lures are the health giving Ozone piney
woods atmosphere and the splendid
spring wafer. The winter climate is
soft and warm, and the heat of summer
is tempered by salt breezes from the
Gulf of Mexico and Lake Pontchartrain.
The nights are always agreeable and
mosquitoes are almost unknown.
Thousands of pc pie every year spel
the summer there in hotel and cottages
Many for health reasons and many 9TH
ers because they find pleasure and COM
fort in living IN the eplendid air of the
pine woods.
Nature has done all that could be
wished to make this region favorable
for mans use. Man has yet done little
to show his appreciation the goods the
Gods have offered. There are thOus-
ans of acres of lands available to the
home seeker DESTROYS of living where
the vigors of northern climate can
surely be avoided

PROPOSED STATE FAIR.

There is some talk throughout the
state by the press Of urging the next
legislature to make an appropriation
sufficient to hold state fair an
nually. The plan is to have the fair
held at different place every year.
This would not suit Jackson and a
wall would go up from that city that
would shake the earth. The idea of
having state fair or a state any
thing without it being permanently
located at Jackson is out of the ques-
ton and the correspondent bureau of
that city would kick up a great
dust. You see Jackson, accord
ing to its own estimation, is the
whole of Mississippi and a big part of
Louisiana and Alamama and moth
ing of state nature can be done
without it is done in that city. So
tie proposition to hold the fair at
any time in any other city would
kill the bill before breakfast. How
ever, it is the opinion of the Progress
that such fair should be per-
manently located in one place,
whether that place is Jackson or
Hattiesburg, as it would be much
cheaper, much better in every re-
spect and give better results. It
costs a pile of money to fix up for a
fair and it would cost two piles to be
moving it about from place to place

THE MAIN LINE TOLAUREL.

It is with much genuine pleasure
that the Chronicle notes the progress
now being made on the branch line
of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
city railroad into the little town of
Hattiesburg. And while the trains
on this important, but abbreviated
line will be Flooding their weary
way into that ambitious hamlet, the
iron horse with It's freight of in
dustry, educated and skilled labor
will be steaming in and out of Laurel
over the main line to the sea.-Laurel
Chronicle.
Upon what meat doth this our
Caesar feed that he has grown so
great" One would think that
Laurel vas mighty city from read
ing the above, but If he went there,
great would be his disappointment.
Hattiesburg is not jealous of Laurel
not q little bit, for, secure in her
own matchless growth and surround
ings, there is nothing to cause
jealousy. But the little branch lIne''
to Hattiesburg will have through
trains from Jackson to Mobile and
that's a certainty, while it is not
certain that Laurel Will get any
thing. Ellisville may yet be the
victor.
