General Grosvenor of Ohio is very proud
Of an incident which occurred in the clos
ing hours OF the last session of congress.
Shortly before adjournment Captain Nc
Grew, chief Of the capitol police force, met
the venerable Ohio congressman in the ro-
tunda and with every evidence Of regret
placed him under arrest. II trust you will
come peaceably," he said. with great re-
spect, 'for should much regret to use
force" The congressman went along, half
inclined to be amused, but nevertheless
somewhat impressed. The two proceeded
to the captains Office where every member
OF the police force had assembled. There
upon Captain McGrew presented to the con-
gresham a handsome watch and Masonic
charm, delivering a pretty little speech.
General Grosvenor was vislbly affected by
the incident and was hardly able to express
his thanks. A day or two later the captain
received long letter expressing the gen.
erals appreciation.

NEW STOCK COMPANY
FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES
TO BE ORGANIZED
With Capitalization of S25, 5,ooo-Be-
sides Inducing Italian Immigration
a Select Stock of Imported Delica-
cies Will be Merchandized.

Rumcrs were rife on the streets of
the city this week about the organl-
zation of stock company, the pur-
pose Of which is to supply Italian
immigrants for our planters, and the
merchandising of French and Ital-
ian imported goods.
1t is said that the new company
will be organized with a capitol Of
SIS, 900, shares OF stock to be held
principally by planters of the county
and certain business men of Green
vile.
That there is an open field for sucl,
a company, is no question, and right
ly managed. the success, of the pro
oosed concern is assured If the pro
Ject is launched, Greenville will be.
come a shipping point for these
goods to all parts Of Mississippi, tiy
Little Rock, Ark, Memphis, Tenn
and a wide territory in Alabama
Louisiana territory adjacent to the
Mississippi River would be claimed
as a good field, and the annual bu5i-
ness could easily net good sum tic
the stockholders.
In the immigration department, it
is said, that the Italian authorities
in Italy will be given the truth con-
corning the treatment of Italians IN
Mississippi, and the publicity of facts
will have very salient effect upon
the authorities at Rome and lessen
the prejudice that now exists in re-
gard to Mississippi immigration. 1t
will be to the planters interests to
get this company on the ground floor
by purchasing blocks of stock in this
new company.
1t is not expected that any delay
will be experienced III the organiza-
ton of the company, as its needs are
manifold and fully recognized by our
planters. The wide scope for opera
tons offers flattering inducements to
the investors and it will not be long
after the work of subscribing stock
IS once started, before the company
will be ready for active business
operations
While the rumor IS not confirmed
ii is said that Mr.. S. R. Guarino, who
is now the manager Of the Mississippi
Italian Supply in this city, will be
asked to accept the general manag-
ment of the proposed new concern.
Mr.. Guarinos selection would be
good and wise move, as he is thor
oughly acquainted with the Itafias
immigration situation, enjoys the
confidence of the Italian counsel at
New Orleans and Washington, and
is man of sound business capacity
He is vigorous and enterprising, yet
would not jeopardize the welfare of
the new company by any unwise and
etxreme radical management. We
hope to see this company organized
for it means an added business con.
Germ for the city, and will be profit
able for the stockholders.

am not sure but it is too late now
perhaps for your purpose. would
say, however, that I have always
been heartily in favor Of the aboli-

it is totally unnecessary to any
country so far as doing any good is
concerned, and on the other hand il
is positively hurtful; so that l have
never been able to see where the ad-
vocates of the liquor traffic could
make any defence for the business

me that it will have to go sooner or
later, and the sooner, the better.
Wishing you abundant success in
your good undertaking, I am,

Plan to City Council

appeared before Our city council last
Tuesday night and proposed to that
honorable body to build the city and
county a mile of good road" he
agreeing to furnish the expert, ma
chinery, etc, and the city and county
the money and labor for the work.
The plan Of constructing the road
is by grading and burning, which
process is said to make a road bed
that Is very lasting.
The proposition of Mr.. Humphreys
was accepted and the road will be
built this summer.
The Times wants to say, though
that this will be money thrown
away, unless, after the road is con-
structed, tits kept UP by needed re-
pairs and not allowed to become cut
up and impossible as the Smith road
was this spring, and on which the
county spent several thousand dol
lars to build and keep in repair for
two wears

applause from the large crowd.

J. R. Pepper.

Hazlehurst, Miss, May 3, 1907.
In reply to your communication oS
recent date asking my opinion as to
the probable effect prohibition has
upon the business interest of town
would say in reply as follows:
I have lived here when we had
open saloons, and since this county
has been a prohibition county, and
find that formerly the receipts were
about 10000 to $4,000 bales Of cotton
each year for the past season up to
date the receipts have been about
$1,000 bales and all adjoining towns
show the same progress.
The progress OF this town in recent
years is very marked, and I don't be-
lieve any person in business here
would be willing to have the return
Of saloons unless it would be a per-
son wanting to engage in this busi-
ness.
This entire county has better
schools. longer terms. more church
es and more coutented people and
more substantial Improvement in all
lines
Where prohibition is once tried
and people become accustomed to it,
| do not believe you could get them
to return to having saloons In re-
gard to the violation Of prohibition
laws. would say that the prohibition
law is not violated any oftener than
any other laws against crime, and are
as near prohibitive as any other law
and especially 50 when you consider
that whiskey, when sold in violation
is for gain, and other violations of
law for other causes
I know that prohibition is against
the interest of any person engaged
in its sale, but you will find that this
would be the only business affected
by prohibition, and other lines of
business would show an apprSciable
increase.
I have tried to give you an un-
biased opinion and hope it may be
Of some benefit to you I am,
Respectfully,
Jno. b. Mayes.
