STATE PROHIBITION.

| The prohibition committee for the
state has sent the following circular
letter to the Progress and asks it te
please publish in it's next issue. While
the Progress publishes the article with
pleasure as requested we cannot see
how it is that if majority of the
grown people even in the dram shop
counties are opposed to the dram shop
how it is that majority of the can
didates now running for the legisla-
ture are anti -prohibitionists in both
the prohibition and prohibition
counties. But we let the article speak
for itself:
Only a very small number of coun-
ties in Mississippi now license the
m-shop. In most of these, if not
every one of them, the majority of
the grown white people, including
men and women, are opposed to dram
shops, and would prefer that the
county should be rid of them. The
women cannot vote, but surely on an
issue like this their wishes should be
respected. The dram shop is q nui-
sance. 1t is an evil one. Shall we
continue to license it in Mississippi?
That is the question
In the present movement there are
three battles to be fought:
First. We want a legislature
elected that will submit to the people
A prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution.
Second. We wnat the people to
adopt that amendment by popular
vote.
Third. We then want the i'm
mediate passage of law in accor-
dance with the amendment
The first battle is now on. All
prohibition counties should see to it
that their next Legislators are in SYM
pathy with this movement. We are
Informed that in some prohibition
counties all the candidates for the
lOS you are dub1-
prohibitionists. This ought to be
remedied. Let US have legislators
whose hearts are with US. Surely
every man who aspires to the legisla-
ture ought to be wiling for the people
of the whole state to vote on this
question. The fact that the liquor
dealers association are flooding the
state with prohibition literature
is positive proof that they see that
state prohibition would greatly re-
duce their business in Mississippi.
Let no one be deceived by their
arguments.
Let prohibitionists organize in
every county. Let executive com
mittees be appointed and their names
sent to the secretary Of the state COM
mittee at Jackson. This is the cause
of law, order and righteousness. 1t
is the cause of childhood, womanhood
and manhood. Let Mississippi be one
state whose soil shall not be polluted
by a single licensed ram-shop.

COURT AT AUGUSTA.

Circuit court convened at Au-
gusta yesterday morning. The grand
jury was empanelled and the judge
delivered his charge, which is said to
have been fine one. The docket is
quite full, containing two murder
cases which are to be investigated by
the grand jury.
Cases on the docket were set for
every day in the week, even up to
Saturday 1t is not likely that the
court will be able to dispose of all
the cases at this term by trial, and
will have to postpone some of them.
The court has but one week at Au-
gusta and, as stated, as the docket is
very lrage, all of them cannot be dis
posed of at this term.
During these two terms of the cir
cult court of Perry county the county
has had more cases than ever before
in its history. In this district but
little was done owing TO the murder
cases transferred from Jones county
which took up two weeks, and a great
deal OF the proceedings of that CASE
was delayed on account of the numer

JACKSON CARPENTERS
Want Nine Hours for a Days
Work, Instead of Ten as
Heretofore.

| Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May l2.-The carpenters
of Jackson at a special meeting of
their Union passed resolutions ask
ing that the working hours be re-
duced.
Tile contracts have been counting
ten hours a days work, but the
Union have by resolution said that
nine hours shall be the laboring
hours for the day and they have
drawn up agreements for the con-
tractors of the city to sign agreeing
that nine hours shall be the time for
laboring.
The carpenters have also agreed
that they will not work on building
with any but Union man, and a
non union man at work on job must
join the union within ten days or Sc
cure other employment.
The sentiments embodied IN the
resolutions of the union carpenters
have not been agreed to by the con-
tractors of the city, but it is thought
that they will when the matter is
laid before them by the committee
from the Union.

CARS SWITCHED BY OFFICIALS
With the Help of Clerks They
Make Room in Yards of M.
and 0. at Mobile.

Mobile, Ala, May 11.-As an evil
dence of the seriousness of the strike
of the trainmen and switchmen on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, officials
and clerks of the road pulled off their
coats and went to work this morning
switching cars in the freight yards in
this city to make room for freight
coming from Cuba and other coun-
tries. Ten cars containing dynam tie
were also moved by the clerks to the
pier, from which it will be loaded on
vessels for Mexico.
Ten non union men who arrived
yesterday from St. Louis, were met
by q committee of the strikers and
prevailed upon not to go to work.
They claimed that the situation was
misrepresented to them at ST. Louis
by man claiming to represent the
road. Two of the men applied to
General Manager Clarke for trans
portation back to st. Louis and were
given it. This morning, however,
five of the men went to work under
the protection of special officers.
The company has posted notices of
warning as follows:
lyon are hereby notified that the
trains of this company are engaged
in carrying the United States mails
and Interstate commerce.
