THE ROAD PROBLEM.

The County Board of Commls.
Bioners OF Pickens county have
had a heavy burden to carry thro'
the present torn. The beginning
Of this term found tho roads in o
condition, in somo places, well nigh
tmpassable. The county fund
available for road improvement
was altogether inadequate to do
tho work alone. The legislature
ut the 1902 session made some
amendments that helped Temporal
Sily, but even the law now of force
is not sufficient through which to
do the work that ought to be done
on the public roads Of Plckons
county. There is too great an IN.
eonsistency between tho value Of
the number of the number of davs
work required Of all hands liable
for road duty and tho commnta.
zion tax provided for IN lieu there.
OF The operation of the present
Law has resulted in this--that the
majority OF road hands have paid
the Communication tax and tho inca.
gsfaun realized thereby for road

Federation of Labor said today
that the striking miners IN the

said that the miners were disposed

from them and that the men now
care not going to yield 1.-The
strikers" he said, are receiving all

The federation will do all it can to

that the strikers will never yield

ANOTHER CONTINENTAL RAILROAD
MERGER

While J 7. Morgan is busy get.
ting the sea routes into one trust
we fud his allies rapidly concen'
trating all the railroad lines West
of the Mississippi Mr. Hill has
succeeded in getting all the North.
ern lines concentrated. and now
Mr.. Gould steps in and brings
about a merger of all the more
continental roads The latest
combination of merger affects
mainly roads west Of the Mlsslss-
ippi river, extending from the far
Northwest, southwark through Il
region as far west as Colorado into
Texas. One road in the merger is
the Texas and Pacific, which has
its terminal facilities in this city.
The object of the merger is to com
pete to better advantages with
other combinations, mainly the
Hartman transcontinental inter
ests and the Northern Pacific.
OF course, eventually all of these
lines will be merged, and the ne
cessity for unilication will bring
about a merger with the lines east
of the Mississippi, and thus the
entire railroad business will grad
ually, and very soon, be controlled
by one head. In the course of
time the people will object to a
railroad monopoly, just as they
now object to a telegraph and eX-
press monopoly, and these public
utilities will pass into the hands of
the government.

The present population of the
State penitentlary is | PAS. For
the first time under It's present
management, if not in the history
of the State, the local prison is
practically depopulated. Every
able bodied man is ont at work, in
the field or upon the levees, only
sufficient men being left IN the
walls to run the clothing and shoe
factory, and invalids and consump-
tives.
The consumptive hospital will
be completed within the next two
weeks, and this unfortunate class
will be Immediately transported to
it, on Angola.
Seven hundred bales Of cotton
have been picked at Angola and
about 1900 bales are yet in the
fields. They have been particularly
fortunate with this years crop of
cotton seed on Angola. having con
tracted with Natchez people to take
it at the high figure of II a ton.
The sugar mill and crusher for
Hope will be shipped to the plan,
tation to-day. Grinding is ex-
pected to begin about the middle
of next month.

tablished on the Atchafalaya
River and ninety-five men located
there, making 400 men, or about
33 1-3 per cent of the entire con

The count of the Hope bonds
continues. 1t is likely that a final
settlement of this matter will not
be concluded until after the return
Of Governor Heard and party from
the trip to st. Louis, Oct | and 2
