Industrial Growth.

The industrial growth of Mississip-
pi continues with undated vigor.
Among the new industries of the week
is $4,000 cracker factory, which is
being built at Hattiesburg. It is also
stated that Bovina is to have a bank,
which is being promoted by some well
known Vicksburg parties.
The steamer American carried to
Yazoo large crowd Sunday from
Vicksburg to view the ruins of this
burned city. Each one had some ex-
preston Of sympathy to offer, and no
one who saw the ruins had before
realized the extent Of the damage
done. Presbyterian and Episcopal
services were held in the Kicks Libra
ry and Methodist and Baptist services
in the courthouse. Catholic services

1t was kind indeed for the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley railroad to grant
specially low rates to Yazoo City on
building material to replace their
burned homes and business houses.
This is the only road reaching that
town and the act of kindness will be
appreciated by the citizens of that
town. Railroads do a great deal of
such work which is forgotten by peo-
pie at times when a campaign is be-
ing made against them fer some cause
or other. The State of Mississippi
owes the illinois Central railroad for
a large portion of her development
and present prosperity. It is an un-
disputed fact that there is nothing to
develop country like unto few rail
road lines. Then too, the industrial
department of this system has done
a great deal for the state in the way
Of locating industries and bringing
down people to open up the wild lands
as we'll as engage in trucking which
has been a great boon in many sec
tons. Give the roads credit for tie
good they do.

AT Magee in Simpson county, they
have what is denominated trades
day occasionally and on Saturday last
1t is statedsthat there were over l.
300 visitors in the little city. The
farmers for miles around brought pro-
duce OF every description to sell and
exhibit in a spirit of generous rival
ry that is bound to rebound to the
good OF the community. There was
cotton foot tall, turnips that weigh
ed sixteen and half pounds, corn
that was in silk and tassel, new laid
eggs with double yelks, spring chick
ems OF the current years catch, and
many other articles of commerce and
home comfort. The example set by
the farmers and truckers of the Ma
gee neighborhood might be followed
with profit by those of other sections
These days are nothing more or less
than eouny fairs on a miniature scale
and stimulate matters greatly. Each
man will try to bring in the best that
is to be had and he will naturally
work to have something good to bring
along. This is worthy of consideration
by others.

Aid. Dobner had begun an impas-

was notified that it was the desire Of
those interested to withdraw the ordi-

believed that was the best way out of
it.
"At no time has there been danger

declared. 1T has been claimed that

MINISTERS PROTEST
Sunday Theater and Sunday
Excursions Condemned.

The Union Ministers Association "of
st. Paul and Vicinity would not pass
a resolution yesterday indorsing the
ten commandments. But at their
monthly meeting at the Hotel Bethel,
the ministers did listen, with apparent
approval, to assertions by Rev. ]. p.
Dawson, of Milwaukee, as to. the local
need of a movement for Sabbath OBJ
Servance.
Mr.. Dawson, representing the Wis
consin Sunday Rest Day association,
exclaimed loudly against the Sunday
theater and the Sunday excursion train.
"a president of one of our railways"
he declared, not naming that official,
told me, When we run Sunday ex-
cursion trains from cities like Mil
waukee, Chicago, st. Paul or Mime
apohs, We take out train loads Of sober
men and women and we bring back
coaches loaded with drunks.'
Some people say" continued Mr.
Dawson, that these excursions per
init working women to take their chill
dren out into the country on innocent
and necessary, holidays; but how
many such mothers really patroniZe
these trains? They know they never
could get back again without being
half killed by the drunksi'
Rev. David Morgan, manager Of the
Hotel Bethel, much patronized by
Thespians, knew that the profession"
approves the closing of Sunday the
aters; his actor guests had told him
so. And in his former capacity as
captain of the Floating Bethel Mr.
Morgan had observed the fell effects
Of Sunday excursions. During the ten
years that he cruised off the foot of
Jackson street he had watched through
his glass, from the bridge Of the
Bethel, excursionists landing from the
Sunday trains.
"And you might be surprised to
know" added Mr.. Morgan, chat one
third of the saloonkeepers would be
glad to see their saloons kept closed
on Sunday. Some of their clerks, too,
have been trying to bring about Sun
day clOsing-not because Moses a long
ways back said so, but, as l think my
self, because one day should be day
of rest
It was then that DR.. S. G. Smith, Of
the Peoples church, said, 'If Brother
Morgan thinks it's necessary for us to
pass a resolution indorsing the ten
commandments, 1 would move we sus-
pend all rules that might interfere"
The motion was not seconded.

Typographical Union No. 80 will
make an effort to settle the bindery
girls strike, acting as an intermediary
between the contending parties.
The negotiations have been placed in
charge of the executive committee of
the Typographical union, and efforts
will at once be made to bring about a
settlement of the difficulty that has
caused a strike that has already lasted
into the third week.
When seen by T h e Glob last
evening T. F. Thomas, president Of the
Typographical union, said:
AS yet we know nothing as to the at
titude of the parties to the controversy,
but we do feel that a dispute of this kind
should be easily settled AS we look at
it, without inside information as yet, it
seems that the employers will be easily
reasoned with, as they must be aware
that if they are able to disDlace their
present bindery girls it will be only a
question of year or so until the new en-
ployes are making the same demands
that the bindery girls are now cOntending
for. Of course, we do not know the con-
ditiOnS but will do all in our power to
bring about a satisfactory adjustment Of
the strike.

DOUGLAS SWORN IN
Takes Oath of Office as Su-
preme Court Justice.

Illness still confines Wallace B. Doug
las to his bed and his physicians yes
terday declared against his plan to
attend the opening of the supreme
court today and to take the office Of
associate Justice Of the supreme court.
Instead, Chief Justice Start by request
went yesterday afternoon to Gen.
Douglas home, 1924 Knapp street, St.
Anthony Park, where he administered
the oath of office to the sick man. Lat
er in the day the formal oath was
filed with the secretary of state,
Justice Douglas returned from a trip
to the Itasca state park early last
week suffering from a severe cold, and
an attack of the grip ensued. He took
to his bed, and while his condition is
not dangerous, his physician would not
consent to the patient going down to
the capitol Tuesday morning to take
the oath at the opening Of the su-
preme court.
The order was disappointing to Jus
tice Douglas, who naturally desired to
have the impressive ceremony per
formed in the presence of the bar OF
the state assembled for the term to-
day. His physician told him, however,
that he will be able to attend the open
ing of next weeks session of the su-
preme court Monday morning.
