Seldom a day passes that the
editor OF the ws-Republican is
not called off in some secluded
corner where no eves-dropper
can hear, and asked confden-
tally if he can't get some one a
pass somewhere. There is a GER
tain class of people who think
that an editor can get a pass for
anyon whenever he wants to.
1t is impossible. The editor of a
paper pays his railroad fare just
the same as any other individual.
He makes a contract with the
railroad company for so much
money, and takes his pay in
transportation (non-transfera-
ble). 1t is true the Rock Island
issues semi-annual passes to edi-
tors in payment for advertising
to the amount of probably 5000
per year. He has no right to
loan it than he has to loan a
box car belonging to the compa
ny. If pass is loaned and dis
covered, that ends that editor
from ever getting a favor from
the railroad company in the fu
ture. No friend of an editor will
ask for his annual pass. 1t is
useless, and you will do us a
great favor ifyou will cut out
the asking.-Hobert News-Re.

OPENING OF THE A. & n. COLLEGE

The A. & NJ, College opened
Tuesday with an enrolment OF
SIS students and this number
has been largely increased since
the opening day.
The ceremonies were interest
ing and the opening address was
delivered by Hon. HardenBrooks
Jr. of Macon.
Mr.. Brooks began his address
in a most pleasing vein by tell
ing a humorous aneodote on HIM
self when he was a college boy.
He spoke of the time he entered
the college, fifteen years ago and
of the many changes and i'm
provements that have taken
place during that time. He
spoke feeling and sincerely OF his
devotion to his Alma Mater, and
closed by saving to President
Hardy that it would not only
be his pleasure, but this privil-
eye to support any reasonable
measure that the college might
ask for at the hands of the legis-
lature. Mr.. Brooks stated that
he took this position because he
thought it the duty OF every
Mississippian to support and
foster Ithe A. & NJ. college and
to do all that can be done for it's
advancement and progress

Bfg Iron Production,

The production of pig iron at Ensley, the greatest iron center of the South, has at last exceeded even the sanguine expectations of the most hopeful. No
 c furnace has reached the marvellous record of All tons in one day, and with this increase has enabled the entire plant to establish another record. The knowledge of this great production is a source of much qualification to the peo- pie of Ensley and to the management of the big plant. There is reason to ex- pect good work on all the blast fur naces during the remainder of the month, and there will probably be an other record month for the plant There Is much satisfaction in the Knowledge that both the steel works and furnaces will operate without the loss of a day all the year and all of the next. The only difficulty Is lack of men. There is plenty of work at the various in- dustries, and a great many more men could be given employment if they could be secured.

The girl told the chief that she realized that she had made a mistake in marrying so young.
 Chief Wier began making inquiry by telegraph from the Macon authorities and will follow instructions as to hold ing or releasing the youthful couple upon the message received The couple was the youngest married ever seen at the city hall.
