There is a strong law IN this
State against the carrying of con-
.cealed weapons and it should be
enforced. It is a habit, and bad
one, too. Most Of the people we
believe. who are in the habit Of
toting pistols, carry them through
a force of habit more than any
thing else; while there are bullies
who carry them because they are
cowards at heart; always afraid
some one is fixing to plug" them;
when in reality they never enter

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
The Goodyear Line viii Not Run
North Of Monticello in the
Near Future. al Least.

The jackson correspond ent of
the Times Democrat says that the
Goodyear people officially an
nounce that the present plans of
the company contemplate only an
extension Of the New Orleans and
Great Northern railroad north
ward to Monticello, in Lawrence
county. At this point the road
will connect with the Mississippi
Central and with the Illinois Cen
traI, which now has a branch line
running from Monticello to
Brookhaven. The Mississippi
Central Company also has under
consideration plans for extending
their line from Brookhaven to
Natchez. The Goodyear syndi-
cate has contracted for their steel
rails and for their locomotives and
cars, and state that they have no
plans for any further extension of
their line. This means that Mon
ticello will be the terminus indefi-
nitely unless the cities to the
Inorthward choose to take steps to
secure further extensions. Jack
son is vitally interested in having
this line brought on to this point,
a distance Of fifty miles from
Monticello, and steps will be
taken to this end in the near fu-
ture. The road would give the
city another line to New Orleans,
and would make the country open
led up tributary to jackson in
stead of other points. There is
no question that the line will be
completed TO Monticello at once.
It will open up a fine territory
and bring much wealth into the
country through which it passes.
The Southern terminus of the road
will be SlidelI, La, for the pres
ent, although it is understood that
the company contemplates run
ming into New Orleans over the
lake in the near future, and will
in the meantime enter that city
over the rails of the New Orleans
and Northeastern. If it should
decide to build into New Orleans
the only feasible project will be
to build a trestle over Lake Pont-
chartrain.
The company has bought no
lands north of Monticello, and has
made no contracts or arrange
ments whatever to enter jackson,
although it's charter permits it to
Igo on to Memphis, Tenn. The
charter will be satisfied and COM
piled with by connecting with the
Illinois Central, which will give
it a direct line to Memphis over
the Illinois Central Railroad, just
as the Gulf and Ship Island now
has.
It would seem, therefore, that
the wide-awake Central people
have not been idle since this pro-
iect was inaugurated, and that
they will profit largely by its con-
struction instead of being parallel
ed by it as an independent com
petitor. In plain terms the New
Orleans and Great Northern will
operate as a feeder to the Central
just as the Gulf and Ship Island
does now.
