It is said that the ladies of Jackson
h ave raised the sum of one thousand
dollars to fight the blind tigers OF
that city. They had better use the
money to fight the officers of the law
and another thousand to fight public
sentiment. 1t is waste of money to
fight for the enforcement of law
which is blinked and winked at by a
majority of the people and by nearly
all the officers. 1t has been proved
beyond any doubt that the prohibit
ton law as it stands on the statute
books is worse than farce and 1t is
about time the state was trying
something else-something that will
prohibit.

Major Vardaman fails to see the
''great prosperity Mississippi is now
enjoying" If that is the kind of
song the major expects to sing in the
gubernatorial campaign it would be
better for the state that he should
not run for governor. The state at
present needs no calamity howlers.
The many cotton factories being
built, the numerous railroads being
constructed and the many sections of
the state that are being developed as
no other state in the south was ever
developed before all go to show that
the prosperity is here in great chunks
whether the major can see it or not
The merchant knows it is here, the
farmer feels it and the mechanic sees
it, and hence 1T is q waste of words to
deny it. Even were it not here it
would do no good, but harm to howl
it from the housetops and make those
discouraged more discouraged.

4pARLrNe, I AM GROWING OLD"

The Hattiesburg Progress says a
citizen of that town returned from
Laurel and said he was glad to get
back home.n No doubt. People who
have been accustomed to the mac
tivIty and quletude incident to the
secluslon of country life soon tire
of the hurl and hustle of life in city
The pace in Laurel was too fast for
our Hattiesburg neIghbor, and then
perhaps our brick sidewalks may
have hurt his feet, and be was glad
to get back home where he could go
bare-foot.-Laurel Chronicle.
Since the time whereof the mem-
ory of man runneth not to the con-
trary,' . little one-horse towns have
been Jealous of their large and pow
erful neighbors, and have used words
like unto the above. The truth is
the Hattiesburg citizen was disap-
pointed in Laurel. 1t did not come
ND to his expectations and he re-
turned home on the first train, where
he could watch The building Of a
dozen or more magnificent three
story brick and stone buildings.

cows AND HIGH WATER.

Yesterday heavy RAIN Tell mere.
It was very highly appreciated for
the fact it washed away some of the
filth of the town, carrying down with
it old piecss of watermelons, pieces
of paper and other such stuff down
the bitches on Main street. Down
about the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road depot, however, it flooded every
ditch and low place. The ''merry-go-
roundn was covered with water and
all on that side of Customhouse
street, taking in part of Pine street.
Mr.. Pool who has tent on that
street says that he had to desert his
place of business for a while, but
nevertheless he was kept busy throw
ing brickbats at COWS to keep them
from going into the tent. He de-
clares that it keeps the muscles of
his arm sore all the time chunking
COWS away from his business.
But the point the Progress wants
to get at is that this part of the city
should be looked after. Even if
children are not drowned In these
ponds of water, the water, which has
no chance to run of, becomes stag
nant and is likely to create sickness.
The pond of water just east of the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad and
located on the property of the North
eastern railroad is dangerous to the
health of the community. The wa
ter will remain there until 1t is taken
up by absorption by the rays of the
sun. On the west side of the rail-
road the same condition exists. In
either case it would take only lit
tie work to drain the ponds and fill
them with dirt and thus prevent the
sickness that they will naturally Gre
ate in that community.
AS to the cow-well, like the poor,
they are with US to stay. They exer-
else sweet privileges that are not
allowed to man. They goeth and
cometh to suit their own pleasure,
lieth down on the streets, yea, even
on the sidewalks when they becom-
eth tired, and are allowed to rattle
bells of all kinds of tones at any hour
of night or day and thus keep the in
habitants of city of 5000 population
wide-awake twenty-four hours every
day. They eateth up the gardens
and flower yards and causeth the
good housewife to become little
insanse and use words that have the
opposite meaning of those used in
her prayers. The tired husband re-
turns from his place of business al
night to be greeted on one side by his
wife and on the other by COW witt
bell on. and the supper bell and the

sl,OOO,OOO FOR CHARITY.

A fortune of sl.OOO.OOO was recently
left to a charitable institution in one
Of our Eastern cities, and while much
good can be accomplished by the care
full expenditure of this sum of money,
there is another agency which deserv-
es mention because Of the good 1t has
done and the suffering 1t has relieved
during the past 80 years, and that
is Hostetters Stomach Bitters.. No
other medicine can take its place as
a cure for stomach, liver and kidney
troubles, such as headache, belchlng,
heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation or biliousness. We would
therefore urge you to give it a trial.
The genuine must have our private
stamp over the neck Of the bottle. Do
not accept substitute.
