During the closing DAYS of the

During the closing days of the
legislative session Gov. Noel
withheld two bills, neither approx
ing nor vetoing them. One of
these was the bill providing for
the nomination of judges by pri-
mary election, before appoint
ment by the Governor, and which
bill the Supreme Court Judges
and Gov. Noel hold to be uncon-
stitutionaI, and the other was the
bill prohibiting any State officer
or member of the Legislature
from being appointed on the
board of trustees of the various
State Colleges and benevolent in
stitutions. The Governor can
hold these bills until the Legisla-
ture meets again, but if he fails
to return them within three days
after, the the next session con-
venes, with or without his ap-
proval, they will become laws by
constitutional provision.

Farm work is progressing

Mrs. Nettie McGraw was bur-

was killed in the storm Monday,
by falling chimney. The little
babe and some other members of
the family were injured, but will
recover.
The storm Monday morning
was pretty general and severe on
the north and south of US, but no
Eserious damage was done in
scope extending from Mr.. Jim
Williams place south, one mile,
| to the Boyte neighborhood,
about six miles north. A great
deal of damage was done as far as
we have heard in the sections
North and south of us
We were ON business trip to
the home of Mr.. J. j. Osteen,
near Pleasant Grove church, Mon
day when the storm came. We
found Mr.. Osteen suffering from
an injury he received by a wagon
loaded with rails running over
his leg.
We received a phone message
Saturday evening inviting US on
the scene to regular piney woods
gal fight near Union Church.
The engagement was between the
Lambert and Cummings families,
and we learn that Mrs. Cummings
and her daughter were severely
used up and injured by bodily
wounds and bruises.
4 Our people on farms are not
arranging to plant cotton before
j Good Friday, April II, and we
hope by that time they will decide
to reduce acreage and thereby hold
up the price of cotton another
season; then avoid debt, make
more home necessaries and be in
better condition when Bryan is
elected President.

kindled the imagination, the effect is
the same, the uplifting of human ma

DROOKHAyEN INTERESTED.

attorney of the Gulf coast district,
declaring that the Gulf & Ship Is
land railroad has violated the anti
trust laws of Mississippi by rea-
! son of its traffic agreement with
the Illinois Central relative to
! freight deliveries In Jackson, and
| further setting forth that by rea-
son Of this combination, all cotton
: received by the Gulf & Ship Is
land Railroad is shipped north
wardtto Jackson, instead of south
: ward to Gulfport, where it could
be handled $l.00 per bale cheaper,
is a matter of more than passing
interest to the business men of
Brookhaven and farmers who sell
their cotton here. The advantage
fof having a competing railroad
route to deep water for cotton
shipments over the Mississippi
Central and Gulf & Ship Island
Railroad to GuIfport, as we'll as
by the Illinois Central to New
Orleans, was one of the strong
hopes held out by the building of
the Mississippi Central Railroad
to this place. Until the Missis-
sippl Central is completed to
PascagouIa harbor and to Natchez.
and even after that, it was believ-
ed that Brookhaven freight ship
ments to and from Gulfport via
the Nj. &. and q. & s. l. would
be one Of the safeguards of this
city against unfair or discrlm-
mating freight charges by any
other route.
If the Illinois Central and the
Gulf & Ship Island Railroad are
really in combine to cut off th e
shipment of cotton southwark over
the q. & S. L., as alleged by Mr..
! Barber, it may become matter
of very serious import to Brook
haven, if it is not already so.
During the next six months,
and possibly sooner, it is expected
that the Mississippi Central Rail
road will be completed all the way
through from Hattiesburg to
Natchez, and that the New Or
! leans and Great Northern Rail
road NM be. completed from New
Orleans to jackson. Brookhaven
will then have direct communica-
ton with Nacthez, via the Missis-
sippi Central, and in addition to
} her present Mississippi Central
connection with the G. & S. |. at
Silver Greek and Hattiesburg, and
with the New Orleans and North
eastern al Hattiesburg, she will
, have railroad connections with
New Orleans aud Jackson via the
New Orleans and Great Northern
Railroad by the tapping of that
road by the Mississippi Central
at Smiths Ferry, and by the
Brookhaven and Pearl River Rail
, road at Monticello.
These new outlets may break
the alleged combination of the l.
q. and q. & S. l., if it exists (so
, far as Brookhaven is concerned)
but if it does not, Brookhaven
will become still more interested,
lest other discriminating combi-
nations be formed.
It is learned by The Leader
from members of the Brookhaven
Compress GO. and other prOmI-
nent business men of Brookhaven,
that while they have never offered
any cotton for shipment via the
Gulf & Ship Islard Railroad, they
sometimes make shipments tc
New Orleans over the Mississippi
; Central and New Orleans and
e Northeastern via Hattiesburg, ano
S that the charge per bale by that
route is the same as the Illinois
! Central charges, though the route
i via Hattiesburg is 63 miles
further and the shipments have to
be handled by two roads insteac
q of one.

At the Good Roads Mass Meet
ing to be held on the first Monday
in April, something tangible and
definite should be agreed upon by
the meeting for the Board of
Supervisors to act on. One year
of the new two-year road contracts
will soon be gone. The Board
could certainly be asked to do
some experimental roadbuiIding
near B rookhaven, under the d.
rection of a Government expert
and engineer, and it seems to The
Leader this is something all might
and ought to agree on.
