jim CROW STEAMBOAT
On the Beautiful Pearl Must BIZ
Recognized.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Jan. ia peculiar fea-
ture of the race problem and the
separate coach law has been submitted
to the railroad commission for con-
sideration. W. 8. Mackey, citizen
of Biloxi, files complaint that the
steamboat plying between Pennington
and English Landing, on the Pearl
river, has not provided separate
accommodations for the races, and he
desires the commission to issue an
order requiring the owners of the boat
to comply with the law, which relates
to steamboats, as we'll as railroads.
In his letter he says:
The white and colored people are
allowed and compelled to mingle dur
ing the passage from one point to
another and, unless as always has
been the case, the negro when given
any consideration takes the best for
himself, and the cabin is alwsys filled
with negroes, while the white women
are always compelled to do the best
they can and ride on other parts Of
the boat
The commission will consider the
matter at its regular session in Feb
ruary.

of aldermen Of the city Of Hatties-
burg and that the mayor and board of
aldermen will make no allowance to
them for services rendered by them
in defiance of said election of their
policemen.
This motion was made and carried,
Mr.. Dunn being the only one to op-
pose it.
Next came the following order:
Ordered, That W. II. Cook, the po-
lice justice Of the city of Hatties-
burg be directed to hold his court
daily in the court room of the city
hall, and there try cases of persons
charged with violation Of the city or
dinances And,
That B. M. Moffett, the city mar
shall, and A. Farley, the city clerk,
and Charlie Pool, the sergeant Of po-
lice, and T. J. Eure, E. B. Parker, @.
J. Mcbride, Fl. NJ. Noteworthy, the
city policemen, each and all, are
hereby ordered and directed to deal
with ". Fl. Cook, and him alone, as
the police Justice of this city.
! This was also carried over Mr..
Dunn's negative.
In the meantime, Mr. Dunn calls to
mind an ordinance that said no police
men was to be discharged without
having q fair trial. Mr.. George
said that the old force was not dis
charged, that their terms had simply
expired.
The question of the validity of the
mayors bond was next raised, but it
soon lost out as Mr.. McLaurin thought
it valid.
A motion was then made to put the
new officers under a bond Of 800.
1t was carried, as all others.
Mr.. Sexton then appeared before
the board and requested that certain
necessary repairs be made on the Jail.
He said that prisoners had been slip
ped whiskey and other things through
the bars and that it was insecure and
dangerous. The marshal was then
ordered to make the necessary repairs.
A motion to adjourn until 10
O'Clock this morning was made and
carried.

A BURGLAR TRAMP.

1t was election night at Halwey-
burgh. Judge Moons party had
won. rare experience for the Judge,
since it usually happened that if there
was chance for his party he got over
on the next side some time before
election, says Lippincott's Magazine
i But the judge had been too late this
l>time, and found himself on the win
'ning side, He went home very late
and bit uncertain in his mental
and physical operations-a rare thing
for the judge.
I The judicial suspicious were
aroused the instant he entered his
front gate. There was faint light
burning in the hall, as he could see
through the ground glass door. This
was unusual since Mrs. Moon had
never encouraged late home coming
by any such concessions. The judge
knew that something was wrong. He
steadied himself on the piazza and
put his mind on the problem. He
settled on burglars as the most reas-
enable explanation; gang of desper-
ate criminals were inside plundering
his house. There was night watch
man in Hawleyburgh, bat the judge
knew that he was asleep in Bakers
wagon shed long before. The judge
felt no desire to go inside and grapple
with the offenders personally. Then
brilliant plan of action popped into
his head.
The judge lay down fat. on his
back and propped up the soles of his
feet against the door so that his legs
were shored up at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. He clasped his
, hands across his breast peacefully and
closed his eyes. There, he mur-
mered, "got EN- like rats in trap

its previous decision in the United
States VS.. X. G.. Knight company, the
court took occasion to say, in Addy-

tract is made for the sale and delivery
of an article in another state, the
transaction is one of interstate COM
merce, although the vender has not
agreed to manufacture the article so
sold: and that combinations which con-
troll and monopolize such transactions,
would be in restraint of interstate COM

We're SO affected, the particular agree
ment which was involved did not oper-

I'VE fail to find in either of these cases
any suggestion that a combination such

RURAL ROUTES AND ROADS.


The farmers of north Tama should
take warning from the fate that has
befallen those north of Toledo, who
have lost their mail routes al least tenn
porarily. on account of bad roads. OF
course no one expected work thru
the winter or thru March, but this
spring and summer must witness vast
Improvement, else mail delivery will be
shut off in north Tama. The farmers
now enjoying this service ought to re-
alize this. The Toledo farmers have Pc
titioned for the service to be reinstated
and are pledging good roads. Many
of them offer to donate so many days
work with team, others offer to give
$500 per year. They appreciate what
the mail service was now that they
have lost it. Last road superintendent
were employed in the several town
ships, under the new law. We believe
the new system will improve matters,
but 1t alone will not give good roads
that will be acceptable to the postoff1ce
department this year or next. Work
and money should be donated by farm
ers along mail routes They ought to
realize the situation before it is too
late
