may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like

THE PROPOSED STOCK LAW

The enforcement Of q stock law
has been discussed al former
meetings Of the Board Of Alder
men Of this town, and the Board
has asked for the sentiment Of
the people anent this move. How
the question would be decided II
loft to a vote Of the people we
are unable to say, but the power
10 enforce the law is vested ~
the Board Of Aldermen, and il 10
for them TO decide. However they
have signihed their intention Of
being guided altogether IN this
matter by the voice of the people,
10 which we heartily concur.
The mention Of a stock law is
certain to bring the cry OF sop
preston Of the poor people" and
strict enforcement Of the law
from the start might be regarded
In that light, especially before
the people adjusted themselves to
the new conditions, but even this
we desire TO avoid. There are
few towns the size Of Woodyille.
10 this state, where a stock law !:
not enforced aud IL we expect te
grow and prosper we must take
the proper steps essential thereto
But our proposition now Is Il
pass an ordinance prohibiting
stock from running at large II
the town between the hours ol
say 9 p. M. and 6 a. m. Thu
would be no oppression but woulc

WILKINSON, MISS. Feb. 10th, 1903.
MIR. EDIToR.-
Dear Slr:-Please allow me space In
your valuable paper to let you and
your readers know why | oppose The
Road Commissioner. First. we tried
one for several months and we saw
that he.was doing no more toward the
roads than each and every member Of
the Board was doing; you can com
pare his reports With any of the mem
bers OF the Board report, aud you will
tind that they run near together, aud
/ think 1t Is nonsense to pay a man q
big salary to do the same work and
make about the same report that the
law compels each and every member
Of the Board to do.
Second, lie cannot stop II from
raining, aud We people out here 10 the
piney woods know that 20 be a fact,
and we further know that when 1t Is
raining, and the roads are soaked With
water, aud heavy loaded wagons are
constantly running over them. they
are bound to yet cut up and maize
mud aud holes.
Third, l don't believe In paying two
men TO do what one man ought 10 do,
aud WILL DO.
Fourth. The members OF the Board
are elected bY majority OF the vo-
ters TO do such work, aud BY doing
that work they will save the county
somewhere about eight or nine hun
dred dollars year, which would tulld
several bridges which Is much needed
in the county.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you have been
looking throagh dark spectacles aud
eriticizlng the Board. claiming large
majority OF the voters Of the county
onyour side. but | am well aware Of
the fact that you have not by Odds
Now. Mr Editor, / am ever ready
aud willing 70 do what the majority
OF The voters OF the district repre-
sent want me TO do, so long as rep
resent them. You VIII see that the
petition that was knocked higher
than kite, only bad one signer from

believe you could have eos many more

of the many reasons why l opposed
the petition. Hoping 1t will soon
stop raining and each aud every mem-
be OF the Board, and every contractor
In the county, will put their shoul-
ders 10 the wheel and give one long
and sturdy push, aud We will get OUT
OF the bog and have better roads In
the future. With best regards 20 you

cenireville. Miss, Feb. Io-Ioo3.
Mr.. EDfToR;-Notiug the great
stir just now over the negro ques-
lion, / have been rejecting as TO
the real cause Of this agitation.
The action Of the President relative
to the negro post mistress at India
nola. and TO the appointmentof
collector OF she Port at Charleston
are merely incidents of ss..s making.
! avn in truth glad he has expressed
himself in so pronounced a way
just at this time. The storm aris-
ing tberefrom will help to clarity
the atmosphere. II is becoming
topic Of great and grave considera-
tions in the North--the negro's re-
Iation TO poIitics-and see that
Secretary Root OF the Presidents
Cabinet plainly declares the failure
Of the attempt to give the colored
man the privilege Of voting.
Let the Northern man do and say
what he will on this subject, We are
not particularly concerned, in this
State. about the uegro's voting or
his making a break for social eqaiity
The best Of their race seem tacitly
to admit the unwisdom OF both
these things, and to believe that
time. sympathy and genuine tender
regard for the colored man is foi
the colored man is far more uniform
In the South than in the North.
One potent factor in our State that
has for several years been gradual
lily more and more forcing this
racial question on the minds Of oui
people Is the constant spending o.
hundreds Of thousands OF dollar.
upon the attempt to cultivate th,
lnegro's intellect beyond what hi:
Limited moral culture is able to di
jest and profit by. And, that this
burden OF taxation Is very largely
borne by the whites is not tht
worst OF it. The greatest trouble,
TX consider, comes from our law
makers telling us we shall moi
give our children in the public
schools (our only hope OF educat-
ling the masscs) one single day ol
schooling more that we are willing
10 give the negroes. | dare say
Wilkinson County would this year
be giving to all her white childrer
a public school term Of s or 3
months but for this lawful necessity
just mentioned.
I have given this subject most
earnest thought the past dozer
years and with your permission wil
suggest in your next issue how, ii
perfect justice TO both races, thi.
necessity may be legally obviated.
/ Respectfully,
]. G. ROBERT.

Mr.. c. r. Netterville. member
of the Board Of Supervisors from
the sth district, defines his position
as 10 the appointment Of d Road
Commissioner in a communication
IN this issue. Mr.. Nctterville gives
several reasons why he voted as he
did, and the prime one is that he
represented the sentiment Of the
people of his district. and this we
cannot doubt, but this Is easily ex.
planned, as the roads OF his district
are generally high and well-drained
and can be kept in good condition
with far less work than 10 any 9TH
er portion OF the county, and We
are still Of the opinion that ma.
icrity favor the appointment. We
admit also that we have no strings
on the gods of the weather, and we
have said In forner issue that
there was some excuse for the de-
plorable condition Of the roads. due
to the rains. but our correspondent
forgets that these roads are much
worse where they have not been
properly worked.
As to the great saving Of eight
or nine hundred dollars--the salary
OF the Commissioner--this is mere
drop Ia the bucket. as he win save
the county more than this amount
In lumber alone. and IL we are to
judge by the past. this sum viii
pale into insigni6cance when com.
pared to the improved condition of
the roads under his supervision.
Mr.. Neslerville mistakes the in
tent Of the law when he states that
he does not believe in paying two
men to do one mans work. Ger
tainly the lawmakers did not ex-
pect the members Of the Board to
act as road commissioners for the
palsry sum Of $50 per annum, but
this is simply intended to enable
them to inform themselves as to
condition Of the roads. by riding
over them each quarter. Perhaps
our correspondent has given a
greater portion Of his time and at.
tention to supervising the roads,
but certainly he stands alone in
this particular exhibition of public
spirit.
We do not wish to criticize the
Board OF Supervisors. who have
administered SO we'll the affairs Of
our county in the past. but we are
strong In the belief tnas the
majority Of that Board is on the
wrong track. The president, Mr..
yensrsss summed up the case when

DAMAGES DENIED BOY
INJURED BY LIVE WIRE

The case of Herbert Jecks against
the Savannah Electric Company, was
tried in the Superior Court yesterday
morning. 1t resulted in a verdict for
the company.
Jecks. boy eight years of age, sued
the company, by his mother for the
recovery of $4,000 damages, alleged to
have been sustained by negligence of
the defending company in leaving a
live wire suspended from a pole, on
the corner of Barnard and Congress
streets. He told the jury how he had
been sent to market by his mother.
and how. when returning he ran
arnuck of the wire.
There was no contradictory evidence
to the fact that the lad experienced
great pain from the shock which fol-
lowed. He lay writing in agony on
the sidewalk, unable to release his grip
on the wire. He was badly burned
his injuries necessitating medical as
sistance.
The sole question at the trial was
whether the company was negligent in
leaving the wire in the position in
which it was when the boy thought
lessly grabbed hold of it. 1t being
shown to the satisfaction of the Jurors
that there was no negligence on the
part of the company a verdict for the
defendant was returned.
