the swarm of bees that has taken pos

Local Policy Holders.
In Washington there are between 5000
and 5000 policy holders who Will partici-
pate in this election. 1t is thought by the
poficy-holders' committee that very few OF
them will be led into supporting the ad-
rninistratiou ticket, but much concern Is
felt lest some Of them may be persuaded
to vote Tor the fusion nominees. This
ticket, 1t Is pointed out. really constitutes
an effort by the old regfme TO maintain It's
hold in the insurance field.
The ''fusfonfsts' have made a clever bid
for popular support by putting at the mead
of their ticket such names as those OF
Charles E. Hughes, former counsel for the
Armstrong insurance committee and John
Wanamaker both names being used with
out their owners consent and under the
positive statement from both that they
would not serve as trustees, even II they
were elected. -
:, The real danger lies In the fact that. X
the votes should be close between the ad-
ministration and the policy holders tickets.
a very small percentage won by the "fu-
sionists'' would put into power perhaps a
majority Of the followers Of the admins
tration. For example. II the administra-
ton should poll vote OF 40 per cent Of the
total the policy holders" 40 per cent and
the fusion only II per cent. the practical
result would be victory for the admins
tration candidates who are on both the
administration and the fusion" tickets:

RAILROAD BUILDING
TO Be RESUMED
Suspension OF Construction or the
Southern Only Temporary.

The Sentinel's news story last week In
regard to the suspension Of work on the
new extension Of the Southern Railroad
has been copied extensively by the
press throughout the South, and va
riously commented on. Much interest
has been aroused In the question, and
general regret has been expressed on
account Of the suspension OF work on
this line. While no definite explanation
has been given OF the reasons for sus-
pension Of work, 1t was generally sup
posed to be due to the fact that Harri-
man and Morgan interests are identical,
and that for this reason 1t is useless to
construct parallel lines In the SAM
territory.
Now, ohwever, sthe information Is
v~ouchsafed that the suspension Of work
Is only temporary, and that It will be
resumed at a later date, and all the
branches Of the Southern already plan
ned will be completed. The report is
that q gentleman residing In this city
has information from q member of the
Railroad Commission that rs soon as
these reports Of suspension Of work
were made public, the Railroad Com
missioner went to Mobile and had a
personal conference with Col. ". L. Rus
sell, tho new Vice President and active
manager Of the Southern system In
Mississippi. Col. Russell Is alleged
to have assured the Railroad Commits
sioner that the suspension Of work on
the proposed extensions was only tenn
porary; that the physical condition of
the east and west line, through Green
wood to Greenyille, was so had that the

first duty was to thoroughly rebuild this
line and put it in first-class shape. Es-
Inmates Of the cost OF this work showed
that it would be unwise to undertake
the expense OF putting the main line in
irst-class condition and at the same
time carry on the work Of the proposed
extensions, hence II was thought best
to call of all the contractors on the new
lines for the present. Col. Russell is
said to have assured the Railroad Com
missioner, however, that work should be
resumed on the branch lines as SCOT as
the work on the main line had been
completed.
The vicksburg Herald comments on
the Sentinel's article OF last week, and
forecasts the information as above
given, in the following:
Like the Sentinel, the Herald regrets

 Monticello ought to have anoth- CT cotton mill. If one mill will pay. two will pay just as we'll. In fact the more mills of this kind we have the better they would pay, as they would naturally draw more skilled labor to them. and could make larger shipments of goods. Let our money men look into this matter. and help build up the town, and benefit themselves at the same time. by building another big cotton mill.
