the whites would not let them go, -
says the New Orleans States. "It

and sensible views and as seemingly
excellent understanding of conditions
should be made the victim of Mr..
Roosevelt's mistaken policy and by

Meridian is beginning to read the
handwriting on the wall Mr.. Mer-
rill's road will not only leave it out,
going west of it, but will eventually
take from it about all the trade of
Jasper, Newton, Leake, Neshoba and
Winston counties which it heretofore
has so richly enjoyed, and which
practically has kept up that city.
The cotton will be bougnht by the
local merchants who will establish
themselves in the many little towns
that will spring up along the line
and it will be sold in Mobile and
goods will be bought in Mobile and
all the trade and cotton in that sec
tion which have been going to Meri-
dian will be cut off. The Progress
is not Growing over this fact; it is
really sorry that it is fact, but a
fact it is and there is no way of get
ting around it. A year or two ago the
Progress pointed out this same danger
that was likely to befall Meridian and
stated then that it had better bestir
itself and get all the manufacturing
industries it could and if necessary
build few railroads of it's own. 1t

son papers are supporting him instead
either one or the other men in the
field. OF course these papers have
perfect right to support whosoever
they please, and they may be conscien-
tious in it, but it is little remark
able how tenderly this support was
nursed and how quiet these papers
were on the gnbernatorial race until
Mr.. Fox came out and how quick
they were to espouse his cause as soon
as he entered the race. This
may have been coincidence,
as condolences are happening with
considerable regularity these days,
but still it looks little strange, es-
pecially when coupled with the state
ment that Mr.. Fox will establish his
campaign headquarters also at Jack
son instead of West Point, his home.
Of course this may be only another
coincidence and the Progress will let
it pass as such.
Again Mr.. Fox insulted the entire
newspaper fraternity By the statement
that those opposing him and support
ing other candidates were doing SO at
penny a line. This would appear
like a bid. If these papers want
more than penny line let them
withdraw their support of the other
candidates and give it to Mr. Fox
Perhaps he would raise it to two pen
MES line. But there are some
papers, even in Mississippi, and as
poor as they generally are, which are
not for sale. We do not believe that
Mr.. Fox has bought any of them, but
since he was first to make the charge as
applicable to others he should remem-
Der that others will naturally consider
it an infallible sign that his own
skirts are not clear. Still this may
be only another coincidence not alto
gether clear to the average reader.
The Progress has never stated that
Mr.. Fox is not a good man and that
he would not make an excellent and an
acceptable governor, but it seems that
he has gone at it in the wrong way
unless he is better fortified with coin
cidence than we think he is.
