Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-04-06


The Progress congratulates Meri-
dian. 1t is now learned that the
Memphis and Pensacola road, in con-
sideration of bonus from that city,
will build q branch road into Meri-
dian, thus connecting that city with
that great line. The people of Meri-
dian are enthusiastic over the propo-
sition and are working like Trojans
to accomplish the desired end. Its
board of trade is very active in the
matter, as it should be, and all indica-
tions are favorable for branch to be
built to that city. Last week the
Progress threw out hint along this
line for the benefit of Meridian with
the exception that it stated Meridian
would probably have to build the
branch. But since the Memphis and
Pensacola road proposes to build it SO
much is the better. And Meridian
should not let the opportunity slip be-
tween its fingers, for this is its best
lschance ifit wishes or expects to retain
the trade of Newton, Neshoba, Wins
! ton and Leake counties, for, as stated
in the Progress, these counties will
do their trading at Memphis and Mo-
| bile. But Meridian can see all this
and it is useless to point it out.

= If the state had a reformatory many
q youth could and would be reformed.
If a boy knew that he had to be put
into one of these schools and had to
remain there until he is twenty one
years old, and work and learn trade
and learn his Sunday school lessons
whether he wanted to or not he would
very likely make an attempt to reform
before he was sent there We spend
millions of dollars to educate our sons
and not one cent to reform them when
we see them going wrong. Education
itself will not reform all boys nor are
all boys capable Of an education or
desire an education. They naturally
want to sow the wild oats they nave
in stock, and when they are sent tc

Cotton has taken a jump up to, ten
cents, but that will not effect the
lumber business in south Mississippi,
neither will it have the tendency of
reducing the number of acres to be
put in vegetables in this section an-
other year. This never was much of
a cotton producing county, and since
the lumber and turpentine industries
have come in the farmers raise, COM
paratively, small amount of it, and
they will raise less since they have
turned their attention to the raising
of early vegetables

intense interest now taken in the

some extent. The talkfest that is to

rants for senatorial honors will be
long and loud and the politicians will
be deeply interested, but the common
people will scarcely stop the pillow and
lose the time to hear the candidates.

not amount to much. Since Mr.. Noel is

Judge A. NJ. Byrd, in an interview
with the Meridian Press, expresses
himself as a little surprised that Judge
III. G. Niles refused to allow the cir
cult court of Lauderudale county to
be held in the federal building at
Meridian until the new courthouse
could be completed, the old one hav-
ing been destroyed by fire. Judge
Byrd takes the view that the federal
building belongs to the people who
pay the take, ands not to an individ-
ual, and the people have right to
occupy it to hold court session. But
according to Judge Niles the federal
building belongs to the national gov
eminent and Judge Niles is the GUS
todian and the people have nothing to
do with it. "a

RURAL GUARDS ENGAGE
IN FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS
Commander Is Wounded In the Af-
fray and the Desperadoes
Make Their Escape.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 4-Re-
ports of an armed party at Sevllly, near
Siboney, this morning, caused Governor
Yereo to send a force of rural guards,
who located the party, which was of un-
known strength, and attempted to arrest
the men. A fight ensued, in which the
commander of the rural guard was
wounded but no outlaws were captured.
There was much excitement in the city
this afternoon and wild reports Of a revo-
luton were current. Nearly all the rural
guards in the province were assembled
here to receive President Palma and 200
men were dispatched this evening to the
scene of the trouble. The municipal police
have arrested four armed men who were
going out to join the outlaws.
The strength Of the alleged insurgents
is estimated at from forty to four hun
dred. The movement is political and not

GOLD IS DISCOVERED
IN STREETS OF DAWSON
Excitement Caused in the Klondiks
City by the Glitter Of Yel-
low Metal

DAWSON, Sept 14-Dawson stands on
a gold mine and it's streets are paved with
gold. Excitement prevailed in Dawson
Saturday night over the circulation Of the
report that pay dirt running from to Is
cents to the pan had been struck at the
head Of Albert street, in the heart OF
the city. The report proved true but has
caused no extraordinary rush for claims.
The gravel in all directions near Daw-
son contains gold. This is little richer
than most Of the dirt within the city
limits and may be rich enough to pay the
owner to sluice it in the spring. when the
freshets furnish plenty of cheap water
from the big hill back of town. The
strike was made by some men hauling
gravel from the old gravel pit. Thousands
Of yards Of the same dirt has been scat
tered along the streets Of Dawson in the
process OF grading, and since II all com
tains more or less gold it may literally be
said that the streets Of the imperial city
of the north are paved with gold.
