N. R. M'CULLOUGH
FOR ALDERMAN

One of the best men of the city
announces in the Daily News today
as a candidate for alderman from
Ward Four, in the person of Mr. n.
r. Mccullough.
Mr.. Mccullough is well known in
the city as a splendid Christian gen
tIeman. and as a good business man.
There can be no doubt that he would
make a good alderman and that he
would faithfully perform every duty
that devolves on an alderman. He is
conservative, careful and painstaking
and he will, if elected, give to the
citys interests the same careful at
tention that he gives to his own bust
hess.

awake, far seeing business man to
recognize these conditions and to pre-
pare for this coming activity.
Now, when labor is cheap and |
abundant, when building material is
lower than it has been for some years,
when iron is down in price, when
machine shops, can accept and fill Or
ders within reasonable time, is pre-
eminently the opportunity for the far
seeing man to prepare for the future
and for the hustling man or concern
to secure business. In this time of
dizziness and low prices, when the
timid folks are unwilling to spend
dollar for fear prosperity will never
return, the man of strength and force
and business ability should be put
ting his factory into shape, re-equip-
ping it wifi the best machinery, en-
larging his plant, in order to enble
him to produce to the best advantage
and at the lowest cost This is great
time, a time of opportunity for the
business man who wants to be ready
to reap his full harvest of prosperity
with the next swing of the pendulum
from present depression to the high
water mark of the future. Nobody
need imagine for one moment that this
country will not soon right herself
This is the time for men who can
command capital and for municipal
and county authorities to carry for
ward their projected improvements.
Hundreds of thousands of laborers are
out of employment, wages are low and
materials can be had at much lower
cost than last year. Under such cir
cumstances men who expect to build
and can secure the needed money
ought to go ahead at once, while
states, cities towns and counties which
have planned for public improvements
| should act Immediately. They would
thus secure the lowest cost of con
struction work and help to create pros
perity.

the reunion in place which is almost
in the center of Confederate territory
and is, therefore, more accessible than
usual.
Birmingham, in true Southern style,
has opened wide her doors and the
people of that city will provide homes
for all the veterans, who do not prefer
to go to hotel.
These annual reunions of the heroes
Of the Lost Cause" cannot, in the ma,
tire of things, last many more years.
The old soldiers are fast answering the
last roll call and soon the number will
be so far reduced that reunions will be
| impossible. While they last, they
should be made pleasant in all re
spects for there is nothing too gooC
for the men who went out and fought
as no other soldiers, either of modern
or ancient times, ever fought and fci
cause that they believed called fol-
the highest degree of patriotism and
self sacrifice.
AT the reunion this week a successor
to the late General Commander, Steph
Ell d. Lee, will be named and appropri
ate memorial exercises observed.
1t is hoped that each and every vet
eran. will have a great time this week
meeting theiF comrades and recountine
the experiences on the field and camp.

Business will soon be soaring in Hat

Northeastern will begin work on its
$125,O00 passenger station in July;
money for the street car line is ex-
pected almost any time; $4,000 fed
eyal building is a certainty; there is
very little doubt that the Newman

good things are almost in sight.

An Interesting Contest.

Without a doubt, the congressional
contest that will attract the most in
terest in Mississippi this year is the
one in the Fourth Congressional Dis
troct, wherein Congressman w. S. Hill
is opposed by Hon. T. L. Sisson, both
of Winona.
There is one other candidate and
two others are mentioned. but the real
race will. in all reasonable probable
ity. be between Shed Hill and Upton
Sisson.
1t will be a battle between intellec-
tual giants,
Both men are in the forefront of Mis-
sissippis most talented statesmen.
Mr.. Hill is now serving his third
term and while he has not set the
woods on fire with oratorical efforts,
vet he has made fine congressman.
The fact that he has not made
speeches in congress does not mean
that he cannot do so, because he is
great debator and ranks as one of the
finest criminal lawyers of the state
He has been worker and has looked
faithfully after the interests of his
constituency. He is a good mixer, hal
lots of friends and is we'll know
throughout his district.
Mr.. Sisson is conceded TO be one o
the finest orators in the state. h
went into the last gubernatorial car
vass. unbacked by any big politica
influences and practically a strange
outside of his judicial district, wher
he had served as district attorney, an
polled over. 10000 votes. He is
vote-getter, and, like Mr.. Hill. has
large number of friends in all the coul
ties of the Fourth district
The two men were former law par
ners and are yet good friends, so thel
viii be no mud-slinging in the can
paign. still it will be a contest we
worth watching.
Whichever wins, the district and tn
state will be creditably represented.

MANUFACTURERS RECORD
SEES GOOD TINES AHEAD

There is no better authority than the |
Manufacturers Record on the finan-
cial outlook and in its current issue 1t
has this to say:
In considering the general industrial
situation, with special reference to
iron and steel, and cement and other
building materials, it is well to bear
in mind that the present small con-
sumption must be made up in the not
distant future by a consumption very
much greater than the high point
reached last year. There is no let up
in the increase in population. There
is no material decline in the rate of
destruction which is going on of rail
road rolling stock and roadbed. There
is no decrease in the wear and tear on
wooden trestles, and only temporary
hating in the requirements of the
country which make for the largest
use of iron and steel and cement and
lumber. With an increase in popula-
ton of 100000 a year, with an enorm-
Gus increase in consumptive require
ments by virtue of improved labor saw
ing machinery and modern methods,
the activity of 1905-1906 and the early
part of 1907, great as it seemed at the
time, will soon be but normal condi-
ton. Our regular volume OF business,
considering the growth of the country,
must in the very near future fully
equal that of the period mentioned,
while the abnormal or special periods
of activity will run as far ahead OF
that as that was ahead of eight and
ten years ago. Railroads must be re
constructed and new lines built at 8
cost of. many thousands of millions Of
dollars. Economic conditions viii
force this even if a great deal of the
money could only be had through re
ownership certificates. No road cal
stop improvements for any grea
length of time without being bankrup
physically, and this would soon meal
Financially. If money cannot be ha'
through the usual channels, 1t Will O
necessity have to be found throug
the work of receivers, for construftio

large amount of it must be done With

of the country, with one or two. exec
tions, are not much more than oyt
