New Jail Will be Built,

The Board of Supervisors of Perry
county and the late grand jury in the
Circuit Court came in collision when
the county board, acting in its official
capacity, summoned before it W. M.
Conner, who was foreman of the
grand jury, and questioned him as to
the authority of the grand jury in re-
porting to the court that the county
Jail is unsafe. A committee of the
Board Of Supervisors had examined
the Jail and reported it to be as safe
as human construction could make it.
Mr.. Conner was unable to inform the
board of the basis of the report,
which was made upon the finding of
a subcommittee of the grand jury. It
developed in the course of the discus
sion that no prisoner has ever es-
capped from the county jail except
with assistance from the outside. Also
the Board of Supervisors made ii
known that the county IS pledged to
erect a new Jail to cost $4,000 as
soon as the new courthouse, now
nearing completion in this city, shall
have been completed.

To Double CAPACITY.

The Laurel Cotton Mills, already
one Of the largest Of its kind in the
State, will add on Jan. l, or as soon
thereafter as the additional buildings
can be erected, $500 new spindles and
all necessary preparatory machinery
for doubling the present capacity of
the mill. It is estimated by the man
agement that the increased machinery
will enable the mill. to consume about
10000 bales of cotton each year. The
increase in capacity will cause an in
crease of about 200 names to the pay
roll of the mill. The Laurel Cotton
Mills is paying splendid profits on
the original investment. For the past
few years the dividends have been
used in adding machinery, new equip
ment and building houses for the en-
ployes. However, it is thought that
dividends will be paid to the stock
holders hereafter.

purpose of perfecting arrangements

Plans will be formulated to bring to-

Brief.
Twenty Five-Year Franchise.

~."SA&Sy ANC~ OcI i 0uVAAoOs
The town council of Long Beach,
granted the franchise of all the streets
OF the town of Long Beach to the
Gulfport and Mississippi Coast Trac-
tlon Company for twenty-five years.
1he ordinance was passed without a
dissenting vote. However, ]. j. Bal
ley, who owns a handsome home on
the beach, addressed the council at
length, opposing the granting Of the
franchise and asking that the council
give the taxpayers the privilege of
considering the matter for a month.
Mr. Bailey's opposition to the Trac-
tion Company's line is that it is to
60 on the front. He would be glad to
have it on the back street, but now
that the Louisville and Nashville has
put on an interurban service the prop
erty owners, as rule, are more eager
than before that the electric line skirt
the coast. Property is advancing ev-
cry day, and in little time there will
be practically none for sale on the
front. The back property has also
advanced from Is to so per cent, since
there is means of transportation and
likelihood of both steam and cleo
trio railway service. It will give the
patrons a choice of the two. There
is rejoicing over the granting of this
franchise.
