The sage Of the Aberdeen Examiner
is of the decided opinion that there is
not the slightest reason or demand
(outside Of a few fellows who might
be in line for a job) for the creation OF
a new Federal court district, or rather
the dividing of the state into two dis
tricts. The statement that United
States District Attorney Montgomery
is in Washington urging such a
change, seems to inspire the Exam
liner to revel in some caustic and
pointed comments on the subject, and
the people of this state are not un-
mindful of the fact that the Exam
liner editor is as clear as a ripping
stream in his conceptions on all such
pointsa ffecting Mississippi, He says
the present able Judge easily handles
all the business that comes within his

President Roosevelt, IN his deter

South to accept negroes as his Appoin-
tees, is doing the negroes far more
harm than good, and more harm than
any such contemplate action on his
part can do the white people In this or
any other Southern state. Because
some silly negro happens to take all
the chances and be appointed 10 a
postofice IN some small place, does
not justify the President in bis per-
sistent course to antagonize the white
people who are forced to exercise
decisive measures to avoid being run
over by an inferior ace merely be-
these white people entertain
political preiudices against him and
his party. The latest move on the
Presidents part is to close peIma-
nantly the postofice at Indianola,
Miss, because the patrons Of the office
object to accepting as their postmis-
tress, a negro woman, appointed by
the p~ostofice department. The pa
irons Of the office forced the post
mistress to resign, and now Roose-
welt declares they shall not only have
their office closed until they are will

The big railroad consultations Of
the past year have 10 the most part
been among Southern lines, and have
resulted in placing the entire South in
the hands of four great railway sys-
TENS, the Southern Railway, the nli-
nois Central, the Atlantic Coast Line,
and the Seaboard Air Line. There
can be no question but that there is
economy In operation under this new
great merger system over the old way
Of little lines running 10 every direo-
ton, some of them "iagging," to use
a modern phrase, to meet expenses.
Since the development Of the South
must be Of as much interest to the
railway systems ~traversing it al to the
country itself, 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected that any undue advantage will
be taken by the managers of these
great transportation systems. On the
other hand we may rely upon the
hearty cooperation Of these new
combinations of capital to aid the
South materially in its determination
to play second fiddle to no other Sec
ton Of the country.

It is to be hoped that the year upon
the threshold of which we stand may
be spared a repetition Of the fatalities
recorded in its predecessor. When
we look back over the terrible record
made in disasters during 1902, it is diff
hcult to realize that we are pushing
on and on as though no cloud had
crossed the horizon of the worlds adj
vance. During the past twelve
months it has been next to impossible
to pick up a daily paper without the
eye catching at first glance, some
such startling headline, as $50 lives
lost, - Thousand hurled into eternity p
"a whole city engulfed," etc. Railroad
wreck has followed railroad wreck,
one ship has been lost after another,
city after city has been raized by
earthquake or eruptions, and day by
day it has seemed we we're upon the

The holding up of express trains on
the various railway systems of the
country, by armed bandits, have be-
come a menace against which the
whole travelling public is crying out in
earnest. The Burlington system is
going to try a new plan of getting rid
of such assaults, and other systems
will probably resort to some similar
plan. The Burlington has posted an
offer of $1,000 cash reward for every
dead train robber turned in on its

some assignments unless the distur-
bers take a tumble to themselves and

That Little Rock Judge, who had
two young women in his court lately,
has been given a taste of what a wom-
an can do with her mouth when the
occasion is ripe. One OF the young
ladies has been pleading her own
case in 8 suit brought at her instance
against 3 man whom she charges with
slandering her, and her sister is
standing at her side to see that there
is no foul play. The plaintiff got into
a controversy with the Judge over
some law point, and when she gave
him the hot end of the argument be
fined her s25 for contempt. The sis
ter, maddened by this, also flung q
few invectives at the court, and was

time s25, and q minute later CSC
more. Both girls seem to sound

draw to him the u%utlinching support

and are drawn to him by his magnet

cause they realize that in the running
