Inspite of all that is said against
railroads by some old croakers who
have no appreciation i'll their souls,
it is fact that as soon as railroad
runs near them they run to the road
instead OF running farther out 10 the
interior. Westville Is little old
town and formerly the county seat
up in Simpson county. Doubtless
there were many in the little village
who objected to the construction of
the Gulf and Ship Island road
through that section and If they
could have had their way about it
the road would never have left Gulf
port. But in the face of this opposi-
ton the road was constructed and
now the report comes that, nOtwith-
standing the road did not pass West
vile. nearly every family has left
the little village and gone to Men
denhalI located on the road or to
other points on the road. This shows
that people do not practice what
they preach and, further, they do
not mean half the time what they
say. But it takes all sorts of people
to make up q world, it is said, and if
true this Onght to be a good old
world.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To his Excellehcy, 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 to
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
'ississippi, and sentence,' to term of
live years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First. Because his conviction rests
ahno-t entirely upon circumstantial
evidence Of an indefinite, unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe conviction should be al
lowed to stand;
Second. 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, IS a matter of
fact. that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, because of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court ur 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

1t is all bOsh talking about legIs-
lating against baseball playing dur
ing the contemplating season. The
idea is of course if the negro Is not
allowed to play ball he will flock to
the cotton fields and there pick cotton
from early morn to dewy eve. He
won't do anything of the kind. Ifhe
was forced by law to go to the cotton
fields he would get i'm shady place
and there shoot craps the Iive-Iong
day. Laws along this line are not
worth the amount of ink required for
the governor to sign them. The best
law for the negro is the vagrant law
and the whipping-post for its en-
forcement. And this is the only law
he fears and the only one that would
have the desired effect. Keep him
from playing ball and be will shoot
craps. Stop him from that and he
will be into some other devllment as
soon as the sun goes down.

GOOD ROADS.

Just about this time of the year
there is a great hue and cry for good
roads. AS soon as the spring of the
year comes when all the cotton has
been marketed and the farmer comes
to town only on Saturday, unless
there is a circus il town, all this talk
closes with the abruptness of a bear
trap. About this time last year the
good roads discussion was at its
highest pitch and the opinion was
entertained that by this time all the
roads leading to Rome or elsewhere
would be like marble and wagons
would pour into the cities by the
hundreds. The legislature was ap-
pealed TO with the usual result
nothing. The roads are not good and
never will be until the people are
forced by law to make them good.

This will never be done as long as
the farmer remains so indifferent
and has vote to cast against the
man who proposes such law. 1t IS
like the dog law that has been pro-
posed from time to time-all will adj
nit that the dogs over certain num-
Der for each household should be
taxed, but there is not member OF
the legislature who would introduce
such a bill. So one can rest assured
that the good roads will never come
at least not for represent.

If Mathis considers 1t a disgrace
to he hanged at the same time and
from the same gallows with negro
he should have considered it dis
grace to have associated himself
with negro In committing murder.
If anything it should be considered
more a disgrace to the negro. We
have no patience with a white man
who will associate with a negro in
any respect. There are some so low
down that they will get down on
their knees in the back alleys and
shoot craps with them. He cannot
possibly make a good citizen or a
good husband or even a good coon
dog. He is white only in name. His
heart is black and his character is 50
rotten that it smells to heaven.

Jackson, Sept. 6.-Formal notice is

fenced TO hang in Noxubee county. will
be appealed to the supreme court and
placed on the docket of the October
term. Bush was convicted of the muir
der of young white man named Dis
mukes, and he escaped lynching only on
the promise of the circuit judge of the
district that a trial would be given as
speedily as possible.
According to a report received here
the Noxubee county circnit court term
was one OF the most important held in
years, and considerable surprise was
created by the report of the grand jury
which charged the government mail
carriers with atrocious brutality in the
treatment of their animals, bnt stating
that the evidence was not sufficient on
which to base indictments. The jury
stated in its report that "close exanlra
ton develops the fact that there is more
crime in the matter of personal assaults
on females than ever before which
would apparently indicate that the men
of Noxubee are losing some of their

"IpLE MEN ANp BUSY CHILpREN.,


Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, spoke
words of good counsel at the Labor
Day celebration in New Orleans, and
he also uttered a warning which our
people should heed.
Speaking of the various schemes
to disfranchlse the negro in the
southern states, he said:
'In six of the southern states the
growth or the cotton mills is going
on apace, and in these states they
have no laws to protect the lives and
limbs and health of children-thati Is,
the children of white men and white
women-white children. The dan
ger is That these children are grow
ing up without the means of educa-
ton, working twelve and fourteen
hours, when only and years of
age, while the colored children in
these same states are being educated.
In other words, the adult negroes
are being DISTINGUISHED while the
children of the whites are being con-
demned to slavery and disfranchise-
ment. 1t is not my desire to tres
pass on any political Issue, but on
this day to send forth q protest to
save the children. This is day of
idle men and busy children"
The danger of deprlving so many
white children of education by con-
finIng them in factories while negro
children go to school was pointed
out long ago by southern newspapers,
including the Scimitar. President
Gompers, therefore, did not spring a
discovery of his own on his audience
in New Orleans. Nevertheless. be
did well to call attention to the sub
ject and repeat the warning already
sounded by the press.
The pithy sentence-"This is day
of idle men and busy children"-had
reference to one of the most shame
full features of the child-labOr evil IN
the south. 1t indicated the hulking
loafers in southern factory towns
who live upon the labor of their
children and let their young lives be
wrecked orwholIy sacrificed in the
mills that they themselves may live
in idIeness.
The labor leaders of the country
have done much toward depressing
this evil in north ern states, and they
should have the support of all right
thinking people in their efforts to
bring about a like reform in the
south.

Ernest siDble's Dwelling Burned.

The farm dwelling of Ernest Sibble, on
the German Hill road, a mile or so from
TiOnesta, was totally destroyed by fire
Monday night last. The family was
awakened about one o'clock by crack
ling noise and bright blaze of fire. No
time was lost ia getting out, but such
headway had been gained that, with the
little assistance at hand nothing could be
done TO check the flames, and nothing
was rescued from the upper story. The
furniture and utensils on the first
floor were saved with the assistance of
the few neighbors that had been aroused
by the excitement. Mr.. Sibble is at a loss
TO account for the origin Of the fire, as it
seems to have caught in the sum

the main building. There had been no
fire in the stove in this mall building
for fully month, but It is possible some
mice or rats nad found and ignited some
matches that may have been left in the
place. MIR. Sibble estimates his loss at
fully $500. on which he had an insurance
