i q G ll2S8s as tiley saw ut. and not !
G. til that was done did he think fne
70 gro question would be SERTED.
a Mayor Hemingway. the next speal
er. was introduced and spoke as 70
lows:
: II feel that am welcoming you 4
your own The site OF the origins
town of Jackson was given by thu
United States of America to the State
OF Mississippi for n seat OF govern
! ment, and by the State to It's citizens.
| Therefore. you have a double claim
| upon II, and for this week we are Civ
| ing 1t back to you. to do with as you
please, and we expect to make 1t =
week OF pleasure and profit for us all.
We want you to see your capital
city, learn of its progress, meet Its ctf-
izens and show the world your pro-
ducts.
There has been widely dissemi-
mated opinion that the citizens OF
Jackson were entirely supported by
the State institutions, and that Its
people existed from one accession to
another when they replenished their
r-hank- accounts from the strangers
within their gates But such is not
the case. The State institltts421nqass are
great help to any place, but they have
been here for years, and until the year
1900 the population of Jackson was
not over 5000. In four years 1t has
almost treblei, and we now have near
ly $4,000 people. To prove that the
citizens of Jackson are not actuated
by sordid spirit and that we do not
draw our chief support nor our great
- ha fQt
institutions. the carnival was con-
ceived and the people of the Common
wealth invited to visit us.
You are the first visitors to Great
er Jackson. Our population has just
been increased several thousand by
the extension of the corporate limits,
and from the fourth place among the
cities of Mississippi we are now first
or second. Twenty-eight passenger
trains put 500 passengers through our
union depot every twentyfour hognr~.
The drummers from our jobtekph
houses reach out through the country
in seven directions and represent
| business of over s7,000,000 per annum.
| Thirty-seven manufacturing plants
have hundreds of employees, with
pay roll of over s1,0000o0 In 1902
| the bank deposits were Sl,zoo,VVV'
now they are over s2.250,000. Four
years ago there were only two build
| ings as high as three stories, and now
few are constructed under four sto-
ries. The annual output from our
| four cotton mills is over $1.00o,0o0.
Our building growth and the estab-.
| lishment OF new enterprises is the
work of home capital.
I'VE wanted you to learn Of these
| things. We wanted to see you and
your products and to show the world
| that our combination of climate, soil
| and people is unsurpassed by any
place on the globe. We are proud OF
| our State institutions, but they are
only an incident-behind them are the
people of Mississippi, and fire may de-
stroy these institutions, but we would
still be the capital of Mississippi and
the foremost city of the Common.

Clark county has voted overwhelm-
ingly to work the roads by contract,
thereby hoping to improve their CON
dition. Yazoo county went on record
in the same manner some time since.
This goes to prove that the people OF
Mississippi are thoroughly disgusted
with the present condition of public
roads throughout the State and are
anxious and willing to make any
change that even promises a better
ment of conditions. Keep up the agi-
tation for better roads and something
will come of it sooner or later.

hA writer has received three COM
munications within the last week
from parties inquiring for bodies of
land in Mississippi for the purpose of
locating colonies of farmers thereon.
There is a growing tendency in the
crowded sections of the North and
East to get out from the cities and
own small pieces of land and live
thereon. Our State is securing many
desirable settlers in this manner.

There Is plenty of money in Missis-
sippi to establish factories to use the
larger part of our crude material, the
only item to be contended with being
the fact that our people are not edu-
Gated to the Importance and benefits
OF manufacturing. Then, too, SO few
OF them have had experience along
that line and they are wary of strang-
ers who come in and frequently pro-
mote wild schemes that are only in
tended to get the money Of those who
become associated with them. Thor
,oughly investigate every proposition
before investing your money in it.

The difficulty being experienced In
all portions of the State in getting ne
gro women to do the family washing,
as has been the custom in vogue for so
many years, is necessitating the erec-
tion of special laundries for that pur-
pose. Quite number have been char
tered in the past few weeks and others
are now being organized. That is the
way to meet problem-hit on a sub
stitute and put 1t in operation.

o. Hopkins, of Hickory, planted this
year eight acres in cotton. on which
he realized, after paying all expenses
of cultivating. picking, bagging. ties,
etc, the sum Of s531.50. This was on
ordinary hill land that few years
since could have been bought for 50
per acre.

Meridian is spending something like
$150,000 on improvements, streets, etc.
There is scarcely town in the Stat
that could not spend considerable
sum to advantage in like manner.
Municipal improvement is the rage
now and the money spent usually
proves splendid investment.
