AMERICAS RAILWAYS.
Would Circle the Earth More than Eight
Times.

The main track mileage of the Unit
ed States railways would circle the
earth along the equator eight and ofe
half times, says Leslie's Weekly.
Their revenue in 1904, 81, 900, 900, 600,
would pay the interest bearing debt
of the United States twice over, and
leave a surplus which would support
the government of Spain, with its 49,
600, 900 inhabitants, for q year. On
the pay rolls of the American railways
there are more men, l,500, 900, than
were in the armies Of Grant, Lee and
the rest Of the Union and Confederate
commanders of Appomattox. and six
times as many as were enlisted in the
war Of 1898 against Spain. The ag-
gregate assets of the United States
railways, SIC, 900, 900, equals the cOun-
tries entire wealth at the time of Lin
coin S election in 1860. Texas or Illi-
noiS has more miles of railway than
Italy. which ranks next to Germany,
Russia, France, AuStria-Hungary and
Great Britain among European cOun-
try'S. New York, which stands be-
low the two States named, has more
miles Of Railway than Spain, and
more than Belgium, the Netherlands
AMI Switzerland. The revenue of one
Of our great railways, the Pennsylva-
MIA, in 1904, 1922, 900, 900, was larg-
er than that Of Belgium, larger than
that Of the Netherlands and Sweden
Norway combined, so per cent greater
than that of Mexico or Canada ard |
ahead of that of any nation on
bhe American continent except the
United States and Brazil.

made among the Illinois Central rail

Captain J. T. Merry. who has been
so long connected with the passenger
service Of that line, has been made
general immigration agent. Captain
Merry has given a great deal Of
thought TO the agricultural and in
dustrial development of the South,
and knows, perhaps better than any
other man, the class Of immigration
this section needs and the labor condi-
tionS here. The change was made at
Mr.. Merry'S own request, and is in
the keeping with the plan Of the |.

station will be located at New Orleans
which makes MISSISSIPPI easily acceS-

change was announced by Mr. A. H
Hanson, the passenger traffic manager,
in the following bulletin;
AT his own request Mr.. j. +. Mer-
ry, assistant general passenger agent,
is relieved all duties in connection
with the passenger department. busi-

matters Of wider scope.
EFF f.ctive this date he is appointed
general immigration agent. He will
have charge of the important work of
inducing immigration to the territory
tributary to the Illinois Central rail-

AS matter of news to our readers
we give below two resolutions adopt.

themselves:
Resolved, That after considering
the matter calmly for several years,
we regret that the Mississippi Bap-

in 1897, passed a resolution, No.
a, in the minutes of that year. on
'MartiniSm;' and that we regret
that words spoken then under heat of
discussion wounded the feelings of
some OF our noble brethren, and that
we hereby express to one and all our
brotherly friendship for them and re-
quest that they accept this as breth-
ren, and join freely and heartily with
us in all our work for Christ our Lord.
Resolved, That we regret that the
same convention of 1897 did, through
its committee on devotional exercises.
refuse to appoint a preacher for the
Central Baptist church at Grenada
whose pulpit was twice offered to the
convention through said committee:
also declined to use the house of wor-

PROF. ELLETT ON
THE GOVERNORSHIP
A Letter From A Leading Educs-
tor On The Fitness of Hon.
Earl Brewer.

We give below. letter written by
Professor A. Fl. Elicit, of Blue Noun
tain Female College, in which fine
tribute is paid Honorable Earl Brewer,
a prospective gubernatorial candi-
date. The letter first appeared in
the Clarksdale Register and has been
reproduced in number of papers in
different parts of the state.
Mr.. Elicit is an educator of much
prominence and is one of the best
posted men in the state The follow
ing is the letter in full:
"Okalona, Miss, June 1.-For gov
ernor, Hon. Earl Brewer. Why? Be-
cause We want young man. An old
man looks to the past. A young man
looks to the future. The old men
have made the past of Mississippi
glorious. The past is secure; now for
the future. 1t would be the part OF
Selfshness to ask the fathers to again
lead US on. Let the sons lay their
hands to the task and do their part.
Let no one say this is spirit of in
gratitude toward the old. 1t is the
spirit of justice, and they will take it
as such. Greater and more accept
able to him than his Own success and
fame to an old man is the success and
aspirations of the young men coming
on. He rejoices to see the son take
firm hold upon the rudder before he
himself retireS from the deck We
will lay the burden upon the young
man.
We want the Hon. Earl Brewer be-
cause Of his success already achieved.
AS district attorney, be has made a
record conserving the in
tereSt of the state and society with
SlecplesS and fearless vigilance. The
best men Of his acquaintance testify
to this. Said one of the best men Of
his district to the writer yesterday:
The only thing that diSturbS US
about the candidacy OF Earl Brewer
for governor is that we would loose
him as district attorney, and we need
him.
The pay Of the good and faithful
Servant-of the servant who, with ten
talents makes ten other talents. The
pay Of this servant is larger task-a
wider tield-a heavier esponsibility-
ruler over ten cities.
We want him because he is abSp-
utely fearless Not fearless alone rs
to personal safety, but fearless TO any
influence Or power that would seek to
urn him from the discharge of his
luty. God gave rs men," The
Ion. Earl Brewer is one of these.

as the struggling poor woman of the
humble home. The situation is be.
coming awful, and calls for heroic
treatment.
The white women of Mississippi
must be protected from these leche-
rous monsters, who roam at will over
the state ike wild beasts in the for
eSts. The fair name of one good
woman is valued by me above the life
OF every black brute that walks the
face OF the earth.
The officers Of the law can, if they
will, do their duty, exterminate the
blind tigers, close up the dives of in
iquity, Ill the jails and county farms
with the yagrants who loaf around
the towns and cities. Rapes and
murder VIII cease. The graver crimes
grow out Of the inefficient, or rather
absolute uonenforcement of the laws
lnlisdemeanorS.
If the men charged with the en-
forcement of the law will stop and
think, they will realize that most of
the unspeak&ble crimes against white
women are traceable to their neglect
Of duty. From that viewpoint the
responsibility of the officer is great. -
