RAILROAD WORK STARTED
IN EAST CARROLL.

| We are glad to state that real
work has at last started on the con-
struction of the Memphis, Helena and
Louisiana railway in East Carroll, and
it will only be few weeks when sew.
eral sub contractors will be on the
line. The outfit OF Geo. w. McBain &
| Co, came down ON The Delta last Fri
day and was pnt off at Pitchers Point
and the first dirt was broken at the
Arkansas line on Monday. McBain &
Co., have the contract as far south as
Providence. where Mr.. Robt. Nicholson
starts and continues on down two
miles south of 'rallulah. Mr.. Nicbol-
son would be ut work now at this point
If he could be relieved from the work
he is now on few miles above the
line, and which Mr. Mccarthy agreed
TO do when the time came for him to
start the work in this parish.
Now that all fights-of-way has been
settled satisfactory to the railway COM
-pany, they say that the whole line TO
Vidalia VIII be covered by contractors
as speedily as possible and completed
within the next six or eight months.
The r0ad-bed will be from two to three
feet high, through level country and
very little clearing to be done. All
that is needed is good weather to see
the road built at rapid rate. The
rails aud everything else necessary is
being brought in to Lake Village and
Trippe junction so that there will be
no delay, and as fast as the road bed
is put up the cross ties will be put
down and the rails laid.
~ railroad running through our
rich and fertile parish has been dream
for many many years, but at last we
are 70 have one, which will put us in
close touch with the outer world and
be untold benefit to the town and par
ish. No town in he State will feel
the benefits of railroad more than
Providence. There is nothing that can
keep it from building to the proper
lions of solid and prosperous city if
that spirit of progress is manifested
by our citizens, which will be found
necessary.
Since the above was written, we are
informed that McBain & Co.. have sub
let five miles of their work to Mr.. |
L. w. Jay, commencing at the line.
McBain q Co.. had started on the !
work. but having let this part to Mr.
Jay, they have moved and are now |
putting up their camps near Buck
aud will be ready to start in
IN Monday. The engineers are now
here running the levels so there will
De no delay to the contractors.

Roosevelt, after serving. only four
years of his time. Great influence
was brought to bear on tie Presi-

been a poor man, who had violated
some petty law of the government,

First Presbyterian church, in New
Orleaus, was struck by street ear
on Monday last and was dangerous.
ly hurt. His right leg was broken
above the ankle joint, besides his
body being bruised and badly cut.
1t was thought that on account of
his extreme age he would not
recover from the shock, but the lat

give assurance that he will be

Wherever he is known fervent pray.

me PRIMARY 0uEsrION.

The State Press is now de-
voting considerable space to the
discussion Of the nomination of
all officers, State and county, by
the primary system as provided
oy the last State Democratic
Convention. Perhaps a majority
of the State papers are con'
demning the system even now,
before the plan has had trial
This is unfair and unpolitic. The
primary plan was adopted by
the party in regular convention
and until the same has had a
fair trial the press should let it
alone If, after a trial, it is
found that the plan is inferior
to that offered by the convention
for the nomination of officers
then will be the time to jump on
it with all -four feet" and rele-
gate it to the rear. The Tampa
Herald voices our sentiments on
the question in the following
words:
"A number Of our esteemed
contemporaries are threshing
over the question Of State pri
mary. There is. perhaps no need
vi much discussion The party
law requires primary, and we
cannot know much about how it
works until it has been tried.
Maybe we will like it so we'll
that we will never try any other
method. Maybe it will be so
much more trouble and expense
than the result is worth that we
will abandon it forevermore.
But as we seem to be in for a
trial of it, let us not try to dis.
count in advance the good OF i'll
effects of it. In any event, tubs
to whales have always had a
commercial value in all the af-
fairs Of men, including politics.
We do not remember to have
heard that any whale ever re.
quired more than one tub
The Herald is eninently cor
rect and it's sound logic should
be convincing to all that the
plan deserves a fair trial before
it is condemned.
