THE KIND We WANT
MARTIN WEISS DRY GOODS CO.
STARTS 1T.
A NEW MANUFACTURING PLANT
That Will Employ 100 Men by January
1st-A Cloth Goods Factory
viii Be Put In.

The Martin Weiss Dry Goods Co.
has been a progressive 1--we institu-
ton ever since II came to Beaumont
and the proprietor loses not the
slightest opportunity to push the city
along a notch or to say good word
for Il when the occasion arises.
Yesterday he did more still. Peo-
pie who walked in front of the big
store noted with some degree of curl
osity the machinery loaded on wagons
and being transferred TO the second
floor of his buildings. Inquiry of Mr..
Weiss disclosed the fact that he e cs-
tablishing a plant for the manutact-
ure of handkerchiefs napkins, table
clothes, pillow cases, sheets and the
like and that while the factory will
not be a gigantic Falls river affair or
aanythng of that kind at the present
yet Mr.. Weiss believes that conscrv-
alive estimate of the number OF men
that will be employed in the factory
by January 1st.. 1905-only three
months away-will be one hundred.
He expects to begin operations in
crude way on Monday next but will
machinery and the number of employ
es until the plant reaches = size that
will be adequate to the demand which
he can already determine in large
manner.
There IS no Other plant in Texas
like this and the latest and most i'm
proved machinery only is being
placed in the factory. This it is be.
lieved will make it 4 most profitable
| institution Mr.. Weiss expects to
have large surrounding country
trade and will be more than likely to
! find sale for his product among To-
cal as well as outside merchants.
The pay roll of such plant under
full operation will be $4,000 week
and the people employed will make
a substantial class of citizens such as
are needed to build up a city in the
right way. The factory is being start
cd without a big buster and ceremony
and would, perhaps. have received no
notOriety but for the fact that m En-
tCrpriSe reporter saw the machinery
and wondered what it could be hang
ing around a dry goods store for. The
inquiry led to the above facts. The
capital invested will not be more
than some Oc the bank accounts of
our wcalthicst citizens but the good
that it will do the community will
probably outshine the credit balances
of these citizens who keen their mon
cy in the bank instead of making it
help Beaumont grow

ADJUSTMENTS

The Devils Auction, twenIythfee
years old, an antique in theatrieals
aud yet younger than ever according
Ia the advance notices, Was ths bill AZ
the Kyle last night,
A packed audience greeted the pro-
ducliOn regardless OF two strong coun'
ter attractions in the city and II Is
safe To assert that in sixty days from
now there would be another tu.l house
upon return engagement. A o'iti'
clsm Of this spectacular and SNOWY
production Is bit out OF taste nova
days when nearly every theatre goer
from the eight'year old up has seen IL
aud knows il as well as the average
critic. II is merely necessary to say
that this feature was better than last
year or that featu q was not so good,
The audience last night was rep
Iesentative. The dress circle and It's
drcssy front was filled, the first bal
cOny was filled and the roost, that ha'
ven of the theatric god OF riff'raif,
was full, full OF people not the red
that runs wild. The result Is that you
will hear the downstairs fellow say
he didn't like il. the Il st balcony pro-
duct will be fairly well pleased, while
The fellow who cant afford the high
priced lower seats will tell you 1t was

Taking the entire audience from top
to bottom the production was well
received and will be invited to come
again.
There is nothing more at the Kyle

The Good Roads Movement.

Discussing the question of good dirt
roads, the old reliable Aberdeen Elk
amiiler makes the following truthful
deductions:
I'VE may hold all the good roads
conventions that time will admit OF,
but the cause in the mud-locked rural
districts will never advance a peg un-
til the people to be Immediately bene-
fitted take the matter seriously IN
hand.
IF the boards Of supervisors of the
several counties demonstrate their
nerve and independence, and take de-
termined action in their behalf, the
problem will soon be solved, n those
who most vigorously protest against
robust measures in the initiative, will
be among the first and most ardent TO
applaud favorable results"
Of the more than thirty counties or
the State that have adopted the con-
tract system of working the county
roads. only one has returned to the old
plan Of warning hands" and working
them under the overseer, who gets no
compensation and consequently takes
very little interest in the work.

Cocaine. the DESTROYER.

Gently discussed at length the grow

In the delta section, where the ne
gro is found in the greatest numbers,
the stuff is sold at almost every coun-
try store. Managers on the planta.
lions assert that more than half OF
them are now addicted to the use OF
the drug and that some OF them alb
solutely refuse to work without thel
dope" The practice of using cocaine
began among the deck hands on the
steamboats,, who used it as a stimu-
liant instead of whisky. A steamboat
man, who has noted carefully n Ell
fects of its use, asserts that its ef-
feet is much quicker and more lasting

Importance of Good Roads.

The most notable convention in sup
port of the good roads movement ever
held in the South held a two days
session in New Orleans Thursday and
Friday Of last week. Special delega-
lions from all parts OF Mississippi,
Tennessee, Texas and Louisiana were
in attendance, and many matters OF
vital concern to the people or the ter
ritory embraced in the association
were discussed by men who have had
actual experience in the building or
roads under all sorts and kinds OF con-
ditions. Chief among the arguments
adduced was a plan for the working
of State and county convicts on the
public highways and numerous In
stances we're shown regarding the sue
cess of the plan in States where 1t is
already in practice. In conjunction
with the plea for the working or the
c~onvicts on the roads, the convention
urged the Importance OF strict stat
utes for the punishment or Migrants,
giving special commentator to the
vagrancy law passed by the Mlssls-
sippi legislature at its recent session.
This law goes into effect on April
% and it is probable that a great
many Of the counties of the State, now
working their roads under contract,
will make some arrangement to have
the county ~convicts sentenced, under
the new law, worked on the public
highways.
The contract system of working the
roads is now in effect in more than
half of the counties of the State and
it has proven a success in almost
every instance. :

lnterurban Electric Railways.
By G G HARRIS.

Mississippi has been exceedingly
slow in realizing the advantages to be
derived from interurban electric rail-
ways. In fact, there are only six cleo
trio roads in the State. These are in
Vicksburg, Meridian, Natchez, Jack
son, G~reenville and Biloxi, and all Of
them are short lines, scarcely extend
ing beyond the corporate limits of the
cities in which they are located. In
some of the Northern and Eastern
States interurban lines have become
potent factors in rural development,
as well as sources Of considerable rev.
enue to their owners, and there Is no
good reason to doubt that such lines
will pay equally as well in Mississippi.
During the past several months
much talk has been INDUCED in in
various sections of the State regarding
proposed interurban roads, and it is
likely that several of them will be
constructed this summer. Surveyors
are already on the ground to locate
the proposed line from Jackson to
Vicksburg, and there is little doubt
that it will become an early reality.
1t is also certain that a line is to be
built from Greenville to Leland. Char
terS nave also recently DeeH STduIeu
for lines from Gulfport to Scranton
and from Hazlehurst to Crystal
Springs. The line from Greenwood to
Itta Bena, a charter for which was
granted some time ago, will also be
constructed some time during h year.
Once it is demonstrated that there is
money in interurban railways in Mis-
sissippi, they will be built through
out the State, wherever the population
of the country traversed Is dense
enough to justify the expenditure.
In the Delta section of the State 1t
is believed hat electric lines al be
built cheaper than good dirt roads.
In many sections there is absolutely
no bottom to the soil and gravel and
other cheaper methods of roadbuilding
have proven abject failures.

Another New Railroad.

The Jackson Evening News pub
fishes an interview with Vice Presl-
dent Finley, of the Southern Railway,
who says that the Itta Bena branch
of that system Is Dol to be extended
from Webb to Memphis. The same Of
fetal is quoted as saying that there
is a strong probability of the South
ern building a new line from Green
wood to Jackson.
