The estimates of the population of
the Philippines vary from 100000 to
100000. The coming census Or

did the same thing when the Vicks-
burg accommodation was run out
of Greenville carrying its trade in
the opposite direction. With all
our kicks the train continued to
run and today we have grown to
such city that we don't pay an Y
attention to it at all. Rosedale
will do the same and will, before
another year, compliment the city
officials for extending trains to our
city, to where they can come down
and get what they want and return
the same day, or stay overall night,
see good paly, stop at one of the
finest hotels in the South and re-
turn home next morning. The
little city of Rosedale should hunt
up some other branch of the Y. &
NJ. Y. and have it to make Rose
dale one of its terminals. and then
with new years smile take it easy
while the other town does the
kicking.

GET TOGETHER.

The New Year should bring the
merchants Of Greenville into closer
fellowship than any OF the
past years. There is a great work
10 be done in the way Of securing
and starting new enterprises, draw
ing new trade and improving the
city.
The, Business League has done
and viii continue to do its share
of the work, bat the business men
Of the city should in harmony
back it up and lay out the work
to be accomplished.
Enterprises of all kinds are
what we need now-not lawyers,
merchants, doctors, nor newspa-
pers. The city has plenty of these
classes. But the small or large fac
tory, that win take our raw mater
ial and convert it into the manu-
featured article, thereby keepingthe
money at home to be distributed
through salaries or material among
our business men and planters. In
our opinion the investment iron
is hot, and it is time, for our peo-
pie -to-strike if they expect any en-
terprises in Greenville next year.
Our banks, and business men
have fully demonstrated to the out
side world during the last two
years, by the erection of a hand
some four-story hotel, three-story
opera house, a new electric light
company, new street car line,
and etc, their confidence in the
Queen City of the Delta, = and
its fturue. And with that heade
light ON her 1904 train to blaz-
the way, we can see no reason, if
the proper Efforts are made by the
entire citizenship, but what we can
take few alb oard who are looking
for suitable locations for which
to start proposed enterprises.
Iii we are allowed to make sug-
gestion, we would call a meeting of
the citizens $ )me evening early in
January TO be held in the Hotel
Cowan or opera house, or Athletic
Club Rooms, and there discuss in
Il heat t. heart talk, matters of
public interest and for the welfare
Of the city, Such a meeting would
bring the business men in closer
touch which would no doubt result
in great good. Think it over; if
worthy of mentioning, mention It,
and 1t Us see if we cannot all get
together and make Greenyille the
city her natural resources intend
ed hei to be.

Mississippi river, will be at the
mercy of open saloons on the Ar.
kansas side that will supply the
blind tiger and the negro vender,
who will return and peddle it out
secretly on this side.
If prohibition would and could
prohibit the shipping of liquor in
to state then it might prove a
remedy for the existing evil, but in
not doing this it allows the man of
money to buy and drink when he
pleases, while the man of limited
means cannot, and is forced to
support the law breaker - the
tiger if he gets any liquor at all.
1t was for this reason mainly that
the late Jefferson Davis opposed
prohibition, as he held that the
right of all people, of all classes,
should be equal, national prohibi-
ton the only means by which the
evil can be destroyed. Remove
the revenue and allow all who de-
sire to make it at home. This will
make it common article and ii
will become SO cheap that few will
want it, or if they do, they can
get it at their own home.
We have lived in both local
option towns and those with sa-
looms and with a good police de-
partment, and the moral sentiment
of the city with it to make the
saloons and its customers live up
to the law, give us the towns with
saloons; for its revenue goes large
ly to educate the poor boys and
girls who are not able to attend
college while the local option
towns all sell wihskey and pay
nothing for it.
The state capital is fair sam
pie of prohibition where in the
past we are told, the state officials
from governor on down patron
lied these tigers, knowing at the
time that they were illicit dealers.
And the recent courts Of that city
and county show that it is still
sold or handled not only in pints
and quarts, but in jugs and gal
lon measures. When prohibition
prohibits we are for it. while we
never drank a drop Of whiskey in
our life, we have seen the ruin of
so many promising lives from it
that we believe without it the world
would be better off, but it has
been shown that state prohibition
will not do this and for that reason
we will oppose it.

But let lis not throw all the

of a gossip and scandal monger.

THE RIGHT WAY
Do cleanse the blood from scrofula 10 to

'.I am using a good many OF your

Joseph Fike, OF Lost Springs, Marion
Co, Kansas. cTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rutland to this
country and there was q lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were In an awful con-
dition, and there were luinps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size OF hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case. / felt
confident that none OF my remedies
would benefit her any. II came to my
mind that DR.. Piercess Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for snch
cases, 80 I went TO the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave II to her 10
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is well day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"

effected is without doubt the most pow
