Col. Russell Compliments MiSSis-
Sippi.

At meeting of the traffic mana
gers and other officials of the Sou
thern Railway in Washington some
days ago, Col. f. L. Russell, vice
president of the Mobile and Ohio
a splendid gentleman and one OF
the very best men in the United
States, played a prominent part.
The following paragraphs are a part
Of his remarks in a speech before
the meeting
The South has in sight the best
cotton crop it has had for twenty
years, the best corn crop it has had
for several years, and, l under
stand, there Is an average wheat
crop, They are also making good
crops in the West. So that, with
good crops last year and good crops
this year, | see a complete revolu-
ton IN trade and the movement of
commerce.
Since July l., business of the
Mobile and Ohio has averaged bet
ter every day than since the panic
struck MS. This points to encour-
agement. We had a hard time Of
it for a while-especially while
there was SO much talk of lower
railroad rates.
The Southern and the Mobile
and Ohio offered voluntarily to low
er their rates in Mississippi, but the
Legislature Of that State declined To
pass a law embOdying the proposed
reductions, ON the ground that CON
ditions with the railroads were
such, and had been such, that
they could not afford the lower
rates offered, because of the loss of
business they had been and were
suffering.
The Mississippi Legislature be-
haved with much intelligence and
patriotic conservatism. Mississippi
never follows the policies of States
around it. 1t initiates its own pol
icy, and the people Of the State had
the political courage to put aside
anti-railroad influences around
them, such rs was shown by Ar
kansas on the west. which wanted
and got "A two-cent per mile rate, and
Georgia and Alabama on the east,
which wanted and adopted a two
and one-half cent per mile rate.
is quite certain in my mind
that the people of Mississippi VIII
not have cause to complain of the
liberal way in which the Southern
and Mobile and Ohio were treated
when they offered to reduce rates
in my State at a time when they
could III afford to do so, without a
loss or great reduction in expenses
somewhere along the line. -

Seeks ReappOintment.

Hon. f. O. Sykes, the popular
Judge Of the First circuit court dis
triet, has announced his candidacy
for reappointment, and his numer-
Gus friends in this city sincerely
hope that Gov. Noel will see fit to
make him his own successor. In a
special sent out by the Aberdeen
correspondent of one of the Mem
phis dalies announcing his candi-
dacy for reappointment, it is stated
that he has been on the bench eight
years, having been appointed by
Gov. Longino in 1901 This in
formation, however, is incorrect.
Judge Sykes received his original
appointment in March, 1897, at
the hands Of Gov. McLarin, and is
now serving his third term. having
been reappointed by Gov. Longino
in 1901 and again by Gov. Varda-
man in 1905. Judge Sykes was in
bad health for a while, and at one
time it was thought that he would
not become a candidate for fourth
term but he has regained his accus-
toned strength and vigor and will
again seek the office.
Lowndes county was for a num-
Der of years included in the First
circuit court district. and although
the county was removed therefrom
two years ago and made a part of
the Tenth district. our people re-
member Judge Sykes with fondness,
and his friends here would like
very much to see him reappointed.
