WORK.

With the election practically
over it is well for US to turn our
minds towards the more material
things concerning our industrial
welfare and prosperity Under
the verdict of the ballot the po-
litical destiny of State and coun-
ty affairs is given into the keep
ing of men who will guard them
zealOusly and who will let no op-
pOrtunity pass to speed Missis-
sippi on her road to greater de
velopment and to greater sue
cess. While some State and
county Offices are undetermined
yet the result will not affect the
State. The issue is made up and
the era Of good feeling and har-
moniOus difference of opinion will
continue until the end and all
will be well.
This morning we want to en-
list the energies Of the people Of
Columbus in a greater fight, a
broader field from that which
they have just emerged, the
movement to make Columbus a
great industrial centre, a great
city. Capital from all quarters
of the globe is seeking invest
ment in Mississippi, turning her
products into the markets of the
world Enterprises of great mo-
ment are knocking at our doors
seeking cooperation and assist
ance and we have but to reach
out to secure them. We have
been too absorbed with other
matters to realize this but it is
true. We must lay aside what
eyer our differences may have
been and unite in sympathy and
purpose to work for the advance
ment of our town
Speak a good word for COlum-
bus. Assist in every enterprise.
Sustain every man who is work
ing for Columbus. Support every
movement calculated to benefit
anyone. Away with selfshness.
Don t undermine and underrate
the work and enterprises of
others because you are not self
interested. Their success means
your welfare; their prosperity is
yours. Help in the work of build
ing up whatever tends to in
crease our population, to add to
our wealth; whatever gives en-
ployment to the masses and
whatever makes use of our prod
ucts and wealth. United we can
accomplish all things for Column
bus; divided we can do nothing
No community, no town or city
can stand still. The very mo-
ment it ceases to progress it be-
gins to retograde. Columbus is
progressing. Let's keep her
going. Everyone to work.
In this commendable under
taking THE DISPATCH expects to
do it's share and is ready and
willing to assist and support
everyone and everything calcu-
lated to build up and prosper
the town

Additional Political News From lack
son.

From a prominent citizen who
has recently returned from Jack
son several items of interest are
learned.
In the first place it is said that
little Importance can be attached
to the information sent out from
Jackson. The real condition of
affairs is held back for the meet
ing of the State democratic ex-
ecutive committee which occurs
on next Friday, having been
postponed from yesterday on ac-
count of the failure of all the re-
turns to get in.
The real conditions existing
between Vardaman and CritZ are
not accurately stated. For in
stance it is sent out from Jack
son that Vardaman is leading
Critz by only a few thousand in
the popular vote when as a mat
ter Of fact it is certain that he
has six thousand votes lead Of
him for the second race, a lead
which Critz will never be able
to overcome. 1t is estimated by
conservative Vardaman men if
he gets one third of Noel's vote
of $4,000 which is about the cor
rect figure Vardaman' election
is sure and the Noel following is
going to him all over the State.
A great and enthusiastic eau
Gus of Vardaman' friends was
held IN jackson on Monday.
Senator Money and John Sharp
Williams and other influential
men were present and these with
Attorney General Williams, Con
gresham Byrd. Hon. John Allen
and hundreds of other prOmi-
nent and influential men will
go to work for him. Over
four hundred prominent men
from all sections of the State
were in the caucuss and they en-
ter the second race with great
enthusiasm and are confident of
Vardaman' election by an over
whelming vote.
Another fact learned from the
jackson visitor was that Hon. J.
c.. Kincannon was elected rail
road commissioner from the
northern district over both of
his opponents securin 90 out of
the 116 electoral votes and lead
ing both of them obOut 1900 plu-
rality. Barron claims his cleo
tiou oyer Mitchell by IS votes.
On Monday the race for treas
urer between Gen. Sharp and
Miller stood as follows Miller
was leading by 1879 votes with
four counties which he conceded
to Sharp to be heard from.
Whether these counties will give
Gen. Sharp the majority is hard
to say. DR.. T. H. Sharp is in
Jackson representing his father
and the result Of this race will
not be known until the official
count on Friday.

The State Of Georgia has taken
a forward step in the rightful so
luton of the convict problem.
The legislature has just passed
a bill putting all the State con
victs who are serving five and
less than five year sentences up
on the public roads. The con
victs are to be appOrtioned
among the various counties which
are to work and provide for them,
and the distribution is to be made
according to population. This is
significant move towards the
solution Of two important prob
lens, the convict problem and
the public road problem. THE
DISPATCH has eyer stood for bet
ter public roads and has always
cOntended that convicts working
the public roads is the solution
of the problem. All over the
South this view is obtaining with
those who have made a careful
study ofthis matter and where
ever the plan has been tried it is
working admirably. The super
visors in this county we believe
are committed to this project and
when the opportunity offers this
change should be made. Our
county needs good roads and
this is one way of securing them.

The great distance of Lebanon
from the northern part of Dist.

and very few gatherings are
held there. There is some dis
cussion of the plan to provide a
voting precinct in the northern
