INCREASE OF ! CENTS PER 100.
Arguments in Injunction Proceed
ings Against Several Largest
Railroads in State.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, May Is. Arguments were
delivered before Judge Henry @.
Niles of the federal court today in
the injunction proceedings brought
against several of the largest railroad
corporations operating in the state to
prevent the enforcement of the in
crease in the rates on yellow pine
lumber. The Illinois Central, South
ern Railway, Mobile and Ohio, Ala
bama Great Southern, New Orleans
and Northeastern and Gulf and Ship
Island systems were represented by
their general and district counsel,
and the yellow pine interests by Hon.
r. Marshall Miller of New Orleans,
former attorney general of Missis-
sippi. The case is the most impor-
tant to the lumber interests of the
south that has been brought before
the courts in many years. The argu-
ments were brought up on the motion
to make the temporary injunction
perpetual, and in support of this mo-
tion it is argued that the rate in
creased is violative of the interests
commerce law.
Judge Niles has taken the matter
under advisement.

CLEVELAND AS A SPHYNX.

Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Watterson and all
the rest of the rejected democratic
politicians are doing their best to OBJ
tain an utterance from Mr.. Cleveland
as to his attitude toward the presi-
Dental nomination. They send re-
porters to pump him, but he adriotly
and smiling avoids the pumping pro-
CESS After his return from St. Louis
the New York Herald tried to get an
admission from him. In the course
of the conversation which followed
Mr.. Cleveland was given half dozen
opportunities to declare his attitude
toward the presidential nomination
in 1904, but skillfully BARRED all
questions bearing directly upon his
own political future or that of the
party.
If he regards himself as perman-
emily out of the field of available
presidential candidates, he studiously
refrained from saying so, or even
from limiting that he prefers the
classic retirement of his Princeton
home to race-entrance into the ac
tivities of public life.
If one is to judge by the expansive
smile with which Mr.. Cleveland
greeted the frank reference to the
words of former Senator Smith of
New Jersey and Norman E. Mack of
Buffalo, as fairly placed him in the
field as the hope of the democracy,
then it is fair reference that Mr..
Cleveland regards himself, to use the
time-worn phrase of politics, as in
the hands of his friends.
Still later the editor of the Athens,
Georgia. Banner wrote to Mr.. Cleve-
land saying that a poll of the bust
ness men of Athens showed strong
sentiment for his nomination, and
asked him the direct question: 'sAre
you now considering or would you
consider making the race for the presi-
dency next year on the democratic
ticket?" To this Mr.. Cleveland re-
piled: 81 can say no more than to
assure you that at no time since the
close of my last administration have
| been DESTROYS of carrying the demo-
cratic banner for the fourth time in
a presidential CONTEST After Civ
ing this Delphic reply Mr.. Cleveland
went fishing.
He dose not deny that he would ac-
cept nomination. He says that he
has not been DESTROYS of again being
made leader What he may believs
his duty to do if he is chosen is quite
another thing New Orleans Item.

JURIES IN MISSISSIPPI
Continue to Take an Occasion Shot
at Cheap Whisky Under Guise.
of Patent Medicine.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 15.-The grand juries
in Mississippi continue to take an
occasional shot at cheap whiskey sold
under the guise of patent medicines.
A few weeks ago a grand jury in
North Mississippi severely criticised
the sale of "Peruna,' claiming that
it was decidedly alcoholic. and the
grand jury of Lincoln county which
has just adjourned reported that a
tonic is being sold in certain portions
of that county which contains suffi-
cient spirits to make it violative of
the dram shop law. No indictments,
however, were brought in either in
slant.

Energy and Cheerfulness.

A minister writing from Rome tells
OF the blessings brought to the Pope
by his busy and cheerful life, say
ing:
TWENTY-FIVE years ago an old man,
weak and thin, was selected by the
Sacred College to be the successor OF
St. Peter at Rome. None of mis- coz
temporaries thought he would live
long. But he shut himself up in the
Vatican and kept busy and cheerful,
and has seen all of his colleagues of
quarter of a century ago pass away
from earth. The lesson here is that
energy and cheerfulness are powerful
stontcs to the body and q long life Is,
the natural tendency Of q right
Not that happy natures always reach
old age, but that the joy of the Lord
Is the strength of human life. It mat
ters not SO much what may be the
circumstances surrounding life, the
great token OF success is the spirit
with which we meet the world. A
joyous heart is the Christian mans
impregnable stronghold
