A NEW RAILROAD
Between GrcenviIle and Alex.
andra. La, Very Probable

A new railroad between Alexandra,
La, and Greneville, Miss., is now
being promoted by louisiana capital
lists, and if proper financial support
and influence is given the undertak-
ing by the capitalists and business
vuen in the cities along the proposed
route, there is no doubt that the road
will be built, and new and rich
country opened up.
Messrs. +. M. Hicks and j. @.
Graves, Of Louisiana, met the direc-
tors of the Young Mems Business
League last Friday and urged
that the league send representatives
to the general meeting of the pro-
moters of the road to be held ~
Winsboro, La, on June 24th which
was agreed upon.
The proposed new road will con-
meet with the Southern here cross
ing the Mississippi by ferry and at
its other terminus. Alexander. La,
will connect with the Southern Pa
cific. The new route is now being
surveyed and from reports will go
through very rich section. Let us
push the roaG along and let the dele
gates sent to the general meeting be
given authority to act on matters in
which ssGreenville will be in
terested.

CARPENTERS UNION
Will Ask for Nine Hour Scale
Beginning June lst

The Carpenters Union No. 1875,
which was organized last February,
is in a very prosperous condition. and
is proving very benificial trade
union to its members. This union
has what is termed among labor or
ganizations Sliding" scale in
wages which range from 81 90 to 81 90
per pay, according to the ability of
the workmen. The union has twenty
seven members.
At meeting held last Wednesday
night it was decided by a majority
vote of the members to demand Il
nine hour scale to go into effect On
June lst. Some of the largest con
tractors have expressed their willing
ness to agree to this and it is expert'-'
that Others will follow in line. Th
offers of this union are, Ernest Pc.
ter, president; Frank Blanford, vic
president, and S. A. Bivens, financial
secretary.
With few mora organization
among the different trades Uuioh
Trades Council could be organized
and for the benefit of the craftsmen
it is to be hoped that the day for such
a banding together of trade unions is
not far distant. May the Carpenters
Union flourish and become an i'm
potent factor for good in craft circles.

New Drug Store Opened

Last Thursday evening the doors OF
Moore's Drug Store. on Poplar street,
we've thrown open to the public, and
people looked in with amazem.nt at
the handsome appearance it presented.
The walls are pspered with a bright
figured paper, while the ceiling is
covered and decorated with the brush
by the artistic hand of Hazinger.
The fixtures of the new store are
made Of walnut. All the counters
are silent statesmen and set on lin
oleum covered floor. Mr.. Fairly, a
young man OF Fayette, Miss, Will
assist Mr.. Monre in handling the
trade side of the store. On the left
and near the front door Mr.. Moore has
placed handsome soda fountain, pro-
nounced by all who have seen it as
the handsompst in the city. For this
he has employed Mr.. Harris, OF jack
son. Tenn. an expert drink mixer.
This, together with the location and
excellence of drinks, his success here
is already assured.
Mr.. Chas Moore, the proprietor OF
the stora, is very popular in the city
aid with the new stock, neat and at
tractive store, there is no reason why
he should not build up large and
lucrative business.

A WESTERN CONTEST
How the Girls of Montana Won
Worlds Fair Free Trips

The Butte. Montana, Inter- Noun
tain closed Worlds Fair contest
last January that before its close was
the talk of the entire State. The Inter
Mountain is u daily paper and it
offered a free trip ~ the Fair 70 the
most popular lady Of each county in
that State, which was decided by the
vote of the old and new subscribers to
the Inter Mountain. Half a million
votes were cast and the winners in
the counties were cOmplimented by
the entire press of Montana Below
is given short synopsis telling row
the contestants went after votes, and
it is we'll to add, that the same pluck
and determination on the part OF the
contestants in she Times contest is
just as laudable as the efforts OF the
young ladies in Montana:
every contestant when entered
into the contest by their friends went
in determined to win, and provided
with blank subscription book in one
hand and a pencil in the other, went
for the votes in their own behalf.
The highest number of subscriptions
taken in one day by single contes-
; tant was forty-six.
"No contestant was allowed to en-
ter the county canvassed or appor
toned to another. One young lady,
a niece of the governor of Montana,
determined to win the free trip in
her county, mounted ii horse, rode to
a mine near her home city, put on
the Sunday clothes Of one of the en-
! gineers, was let down into the mine,
and before she came up had collected
from the miners paid subscriptions
from three -fourths Of the miners then
ON shift. After donning her own
garments she again mounted her horse
an6 rode to the next mine, to repeat
her act and secure more votes-and
likewise subscriptions, She was the
second highest at the close of the con-
test in the State, winning in her own
county moIe than all the other con-
testants together.
"During the last month of the con-
test the contending forces were so
we'll organized that each contestant
almost knew the movements of h'
rivals, and when three thousand votes
were cast for one young lady, her
rivals would be there with the same
number or even more. The interest
in the race grew so great that men
almost quit their business to work
for their favorites and at every gath
ering the contest of the Inter. Mo"n-
tain was the burning question and in
variably subscription and vote solici.
tors were in the crowd.
"On the last day of the contest
over 1000 votes we're deposited and
the announcement of the winners as il
was flashed over the wires to the
different counties of the State was re-
ceived by large and eager crowds
with cheers and hurrahs. The thirty
one young ladies who won the tril
prizes highly enjoyed their victories
and each one expressed herself al
proud of their own efforts and thu
efforts of their working friends. -

THE TINES
CONTEST
Voting for Contestants IN
the Race on the Increase
With More to Follow

There has been something like a
lull N the voting in The Times con-
test this week, but as the old saying
goes calm precedes a storm, so a
large polling is expected next week.
1t could hardly be expected that the
votes would come in with a continual
rush this early in the race. The
contest will not close in less time than
two months and the contestants
or their working friends should not
become disheartened because of a lit
tie falling off at this early stage. In
few weeks time the interest in the
race will reach high pitch and from
then on the race will become very
close and exciting till the close.
The interest IN the contest in Boli-
var county is spreading and we look
for much work to be done in the
different towns in that county by the
friends OF the contestants in the next
two months.
Miss Lizzie West leads in the $40
contest for the securing of the great
est number of subscribers during the
month. The candidate who leads her
in the next fifteen days viii, have to,
hustle.
just before going to press we were
requested by Miss Alma Marks to
withdraw her name from the contest.
Miss Marks states that she may be
unable to attend the Fair were she to
win in the contest, and she does not
feel that it is tight under the cir
for her friends to work to
secure votes for her. Miss Marks
made an excellent race and her many
friends will regret her withdrawal.
There are yet $50, 600 votes to be
pollsd Our subscription books are
open to inspection to all interested in
the race and by looking over our list
of subscribers the friends Of the con-
testants may know from whom to
securev otes. The result to day is as
follows;
