Mr.. w G. Watson, who is ID
charge of the special rural routes
IN this State and whose work IN
Lowndes county has resulted in
securing 50 many routes here,
spent last Monday in the city
and was then called 10 New Or
leans on consultation with lead
ing officials relative to the service
in this section. Mr.. Watson 5
visit here is for the purpose of
adjusting a little objection to the
two routes east of this city which
the department has raised In
delivering the mail on the Dow
and New Hope routes the carriers
are compelled to traverse the
Air Line road out as far as the
negro church, doubling on each
other S routes. This is against
the rules of the service, and Mr..
Watson has been sent here to see
if the matter cannot be remedied.
In conversation with a represen-
tative of this paper he stated that
this doubling was necessary and
he was sure that if the matter
could not be remedied that when
the department understood the
geographical conditions and OBJ
StacleS overcome in traverSing
this road twice that no objection
would be made to it. Mr.. Wat
son will return to the city Friday
for the purpose of visiting this
section and seeing if it will be
possible to remedy the matter.
He is of the opinion, although not
in his apartment. that service
on these two routes will be begun
on April 1st, as Mr.. Gambler in
Dictated it would.
The position of carrier on the
Dow route, which Mr.. Phillips
resigned, will be filed by exami-
nation in this city at the office OF
the County superintendent Oh
Education on Saturday morning
at nine o'clock. All applicants
for the position are urged to be
on hand.

A correspondent of the Manu-
facturers Record, writing from
New York, gives some details re-
garding the Southern cotton
mill combination. This has been
organized on the basis of So, 900,
900 of bonds. $1,000, 900 of pre-
ferred, and 100000 of com
mon stock, and at present in
cludes about seventy mills, but
the plan or organization is made
sufficiently elastic to provide the
money to take in large number
of additional mills, a good many
of which are now under investi-
cation. The company will have
50, 900, 600 cash in its treasury,
and cOntemplateS the establish
ment of finishing plants and the
handling of the entire business
on such a basis as to reduce the
cost of production and the mar
keting of cotton goods as much
as possible, thus eliminating
many of the expenses which have
heretofore burdened mills that
lacked ample working capital.
AS this com bination puts about
Sc, 100000 of fresh capital into
the cotton mill interests of the
South, and at the same time
leaves the control of the mills in
Southern hands, it is regarded
by many as one of the most i'm
portant steps which has been
taken in the broadening of the
textile development in the South.

siding officer, as it's representa-.

fidence and trust reposed in him
and in every position to which
he was called during his long,
useful and honorable career. he
served with fidelity to the best
conception of Odd Fellowship.
In his death Union Lodge feels
that it has sustained an irrepara-
BILE loss. yet we are consoled by
the consciousness that he has
gone to join those kindred spirits
from our lodge who are at rest
in that Home to which our order
is constantly tending. As a
mark of esteem to his memory,
as a memorial to his life and
work and virtues we place upon
our record the following resolu-
tons:

counsel and influence will be
missed from among US and
whose interest and service to
our order constitute an exam pie
worthy the emulation Of all
members.

expression of our sorrow we
wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for the customary thirty
days.
Resolved further, That these
resolutions be inscribed upon our
records, that they be given pub
licity through the usual columns
and that copies of them be trans
mitted to the Grand Secretary
for record.

UNGENERous AND DIscouRTEous.

UN6ENEROUS AND DISCOURTE0US.
The following editorial from
the Dixie Press, of West Point,
Congressman Fox's home town,
IS presented in full as showing
the sentiment of his home town
and county upon his announce
ment for Governor. The Press
says:
While Mr.. Fox is a gentleman
Of acknowledged ability and a
man whom we have always es-
teemed and shall con tinue to es-
TEEN very highly, we believe,
and it is thought by some of his
most ardent friends of other
counties as we'll as this-that he
has made a serious mistake in
allowing his name to come before
the voting public OF this great
State at this late and inopportune
time, and it is universally regret
ted by the mutual friends of both
Fox and Critz that such a change
should have been inaugurated in
the political circles of our below
ed county of Clay
So far as we are personally
concerned, we repeat that we
have always admired the new
Richmond, but, in coming to the
front at so late a time. we be-
lieve MI Fox is not only acting
unwisely but he has placed him
self in an attitude which will be
criticised by admirers as we'll as
enemies and it goes without the
saying that he can not hope to
secure the support which he
might otherwise have expected;
for his action will be considered
as rather ungenerOus if not dis
courteous to the candidates who
have already been in the field for
some time, and more especially
to our home candidate, Judge
Critz, who has been an acknOwl-
edged aspirant for the past four
years and who, if placed in Mr.
Fox's position, could not have
been persuaded under the high
est pressure to come out against
fellow tOwnsman and citizen of
the same county; while at the
same time he is doing himself an
injustice in that a number of his
friends may already and no doubt
have lined up on other sides.
Such being the case, we have
every reason to believe that
Judge Critz will not be so greatly
crippled as some may have
feared but he may possibly be
strengthened thereby. In fact
it is our opinion that Mr.. Varda-
mans strength will be more Sc
riously weakened than that of
any other aspirant, and while the
extreme enemies of Vardaman
are winning their point at his ex-
pense they will at the same time
be lending strength to Critz.
With all these facts before us,
we still renew our allegiance to
Judge Critz, believing him to be
the logical candidate of the con-
servative and fair minded people
of Mississippi, and, while we
have nothing personal against
any of the candidates, we shall
do all in our power to further
the interests of this great states
man and Christian gentleman,
than whom there is not one more
able. patriotic or consecrated ia
this great commonwealth of Mis-
sissippi. "

Meagre particulars OF an at
tempt to rob Mr.. Jack Egger' S
store at Caledonia last Sunday
night have reached this city.
From what THE DISPATCH can
learn it seems that two men were
seen attempting to break in the
store by Mr.. Henry Greer, who
secured a shot gun and fired at
one of the men. 1t is said he
was hit, as the distance between
the two and the weapon used
would Indicate that he was in
iured. PARTIES interested nat
urally connect the attempt to rob
Mr.. Egger's store with the sack
ing and burning Of the Molloy
store in that place some years
ago. 1t will be recalled that DR..
store was robbed and
and then burned to
the ground. The officers, it is
understood, are Investigating the
robbery last Sunday
night.
