BIG SHIP ARRIVES

II some one had stated ten years
ago that during the month of Feb
ruary, 1908, one of the largest ships
on the ocean would steam into Gulf
port and after loading with one or
two million feet of lumber and steam
ont again he would have been put
down as fit subject for the asylum.
But as unreasonable as it may have
appeared at the time, one actually
steamed in the other day and others
will be in some time during the
month. This seals and delivers the
fortune of Gulfport and all Missis
sippi. We now have the finest har-
Dor in the @orld-fine because it
means so much for the state and the
south. Our lumber-tbe long leaf
pine lumber of south Mississippi
can now be put on these ships ard go
direct to Europe and other foreign
countries and ii is big money in the
pockets. of our mill men. Great is
the Gulfport harbor; and it came in
as easy as getting money from home.

william J. Bryan has refused an
invitation to d banquet because
Grover Cleveland was to be one Of
the guests of honor. The Times
thinks that Mr.. Bryan makes a grave
mistake when he acts that way
toward Mr.. Cleveland. 1t shows that
the great Nebraskan has some per-
sonal feeling against Cleveland. The
ex-president has great many friends
and they will not fail to criticise
this piece OF littleness in Mr.. Bryan.
Great men like Bryan occasionally
do very small and foolish things.
William J. Bryan should rise above
such pettiness. Selma Times.
No man occupying the position OF
Mr.. Bryan can gain any thing by show
ing his temper and betraying small
and narrow spirit. Such conduct de-
tracts no little from the esteem with
which people have heretofore regarded
him.
Natural it is that some papers which
supported Mr.. Bryan ad agreed with
him in what he said about socalled
boilers are now asking him if he
would vote for Mr.. Cleveland should
the latter be nominated for the presi-
dency. Birmingham News.

LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is about time the press of the
state was doing some lobbying.
Everybody else Hobbies with legisla-
tors and many of them get what they
ask for except the newspaper man,
and vet he does the state more real
and substantial benefit than any other
man of any calling. The press
should demand of the legislature the
passage of law requirig every legal
advertisement published, including
the proceedings Of the boards of gu
peryisors, the proceedings Of city
councils and other such publications.
The press is not treated as well as
it was during the republican admin
istration in the state. for then all
legal advertisements We're required by
law to be published. The papers
then had fat take" but since then
a hide-bound Legislature saw fit to
repeal the law and thus chop OF what
little revenue the papers were getting
from that source.
Every act of the board of super
visors should be published and paid
for. Country papers cannot afford to
do this work free and other free al
vertising of which they print many
columns duying the year. They are
poorly paid for even that for which
they. were paid at all, and often are

1t seems that the south was put
here just to hold the earth together.
The national government takes but
little recognition of the south. If
we get an appropriation it is gen.
orally very small cunt; and no
republican president seems TO know
that there is such part of the
United States as the south when it
comes to giving it place in his cab
met. A few southern men have been
on the supreme bench. but vely
likely it was against the will of the
republican president who was serving
at the, time. If one will take the
trouble to look up the list he will find
that the south has been woefully
neglected in this respect. both
southern democrats and southern re-
publicans The whole Country Seems
to look down upon the south as a
small island in some great ocean and
has no business being part of
America.

The Culfport.

The largest shipest to ever come
within twelve miles of Mississippi
land steamed in yesterday morning
without assistance from tug boat and
landed along side the Gulf & Ship
Island pier. Her name is the
EXmoor and she will take on $780,
600 feet of lumber for the Reeves
Powell people She in 2,297 tons
burthen. The Reeves-Powell COM
pany expect seven more during the
month, two of which, the Juno and
Kydonia, are expected to arrive in a
day or two 1t was stated IN yester-
days Record that the steel tug Gulf
port would be locked at Mobile to be
repalnted before taken to Gulfport,
but this program was slightly chang
ed us the monster tug arrived in port
this morning, where she attracted
considerable attention. The Gulf
port, like her namesake, is the big
gest thing hereabouts and should she
ever have occasion to visit neigh
barring ports the natives thereof will
believe they are being honored by
one of Uncle Sans big battle ships.
She is what might be called a
''corker." She could easily pull a
fleet with her fires out, and under full
steam she could pull man of war
over a sand bar. The Guiport Is said
to be the biggest tug in southern
waters. being 1l2 feet long and "a feet
beam, with net registration of 225
tons. She was built at cost of $780,
600 and is equipped with powerful
machinery. She will do harbor work
between Gulfport and Ship Island.
May the Gulfport be blessed with
good luck in our waters.-Gulfport

THE STATUTORY LAW.

We would just like to know what
the prohibitionists are going to do
when they meet at Jackson on the
Eth. Their object was mp till few
days ago to recommend to the leigsia-
ture the passage of a statutory law,
but since Bishop Galloway in his re-
cent address TO the people of the state
disapproves such law and since he is
the acknowledged leader Of the prohi-
bition movement in the state the peo-
pie will await with interest the action
of the prohibition party when it meets
in Jackson There are hundreds OF
the best men of the state and as good
prohibitionists as any of those who
are making so much. fuss about 1t,
who will take no active part in the
present movement. While they are
prohibitionists they see nothing bene-
fetal in the present movement and
will take no part in the mass meeting
which is to meet on the 18th. There
is right way and a wrong way to
do thing and it may be that this
meeting is going to do the wrong way
at least it will if it tries to make
this question an issue in the present
campaign and asks for statutory law
The dispenssry law is becoming very
popular in the south and it is very
likely that Mississippi will adopt it.,
At least it will not pass statutory
law
