The Mississippi Central MeadyiIIe
Wants Il.

A ripple of excitement ran
through our little town last Thurs
day when it became known that
Mr.. James Archibald, chief engi-
neer of the Mississippi Central
Railroad, was here on his way to
Natchez for the purpose of look
ing over the route from Brook
haven as to railroad possibilities.
He was accompanied on the trip
by Messrs. E. I'll. Wentworth and
Hiram Cassidy, of Brookhayen.
The party returned last Saturday
to Brookhaven by the way of
Union Church, in Jefferson coun-
Ity, for the same purpose. Before
leaving here Thursday, Mr.. Arch
bald expressed himself as being
we'll pleased with the route so far.
These are the only two routes
| to Natchez that the management
Iof the Mississippi Central have
under consideration, and we be-
Iieve that proper encouragement,
coupled with the many natural
advantages the route through here
has over any other from Brookha
yen to Natchez, our people could
get the road. That the road will
be built, there is not the least
1 room for doubt; it is only a nat
uraI result that must follow the

hand.

room to investigate the charge
against Scott. A petit jury was

the maximum penalty for this
crime.
Il Judge Wilkinson, in passing
sentence on the prisoner, stated
that he was sorry that the law did
not permit him to punish this
class of criminals to greater ex-
tent, and that the people should
see to it that their representation
in the Legislature fix a punish
ment that will enable the courts to
deal out even handed justice in
crimes of this character. He
complimented the grand jury for
their prompt action in the matter
and commended the people of the
county, and especially Justice
Jones, whose house had been IN
vaded by this black brute, for the
manner in which, they have con-
Quoted themselves in an outrage
of this kind.
The large crowd in attendance
was orderly and quiet, and no
manifestation of violence towards
the prisoner was seen or heard,
and when court adjourned at noon
the crowd began to quietly dis
perse for their homes.

charge Steve Scott, and safely de-

A warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months toguard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of
the bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the old fashioned castor oil,
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain,s Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then dose Of
castor oil and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soou
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases of cholera infantum

Writing Of the relation of edu-
cation TO business in the New Idea
Woman's Magazine for Septem-
Der, Esperance Goodlove. who has
made wise observation Of the in
dustrial field for women, says:
Take stenographers and secreta-
ries, clerkships of various kinds,
managerial work in businesses Of
dozen descriptions the we'll
informed woman gets ahead of the
uninformed every time. But
and this circumstance is important
the information that secures
preference for these women is
general, not special, with the ex-
Ception of stenographical train
ing, and that is only one section
of a good secretary's equipment.
1t issthe kind of knowledge pick
ed up from many sources, in
school and out of it. The same
brand Of information fits person,
speaking roughly Of course, quite
as well for the clerkship as for
the managerial work, or for the
secretaryship. For instance, a
knowledge Of current events is
quite as important in one as in
the other. Acquaintance with the
outlines Of history, and at least
the landmarks in literature raise
the standard of their fortunate
possessor, no matter what her
work is. General informa-
tion, more or less, is the need of
every woman who intends to earn
her own living in this twentieth
century" /"
