For Bigger Fair.

The press of West Florida and the
press of the southern counties of Ala
bama is with The Journal in complete
recognition of the benefits that must
accrue to Gulf and near-Gulf counties
through the establishment of an an.
nual fair for all the counties within
easy reach of Pensacola.
The DeFuniak Breeze, a paper
always keenly alive to the progress
Of the western counties, commends the
action of the Tri-County directors in
deciding to amplify their next annual
exhibit by taking in more contiguous
territory. 1t makes a sensible sug-
gestion, too, when it says that each
county intending to participate should
have a preliminary local fair of it's
own-a sort of trial heat, so to speak
before packing I'D the best of its
stock and crops and manufactured
articles to compete for prizes at Pen
sacola.

be on the most ambitious and ex

There ara more than 5000 live and
active corporations in Mississippi, ac-
cording to tho list inst compiled from
the records in the ONCE OF Secretary Of
State Power for tho use Of the United
States Internal Revenue department in
the collection Of the new corporation

The list has just been completed AZ

while there are many moro than 5000
names on the list, . wedding pat Of the

made by Mr.. Strauss after . careful in

it would never be possible to give the

dead ones, from his records, a. there
were many years during which a cor
poration was not required to surrender

mess.
1t was finally decided that he would
furnish a list Of those incorporated,
leaving the government to learn in its

WHEREABOUTS
IN MISSISSIPPI.
Extensions and Connectla3 Lines Are
Proposed.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 27.-(Special te
Commercial Appeai)-The granting OF
three charters fof new railway lines in
Mississippi within the past week has
~OccasiOned considerable comment in
railroad circles. While it is a far cry
from the construction Of a lin on pa
per to the actual laying of rails, the &C
tivity being manifested is at least taken
as an indication of the general revival
OF prosperity, especially in the south
ern section of the State, where crops
have been uniformly good during the
past year, and the lumber manufacture
ing plants are running on full time.
1t is recognized that the charters for
some of the new lines recently proposed
have been granted to promoters who
are without the actual capital to carry
out their projects, and who doubtless
hope to influence the established COM
mon carriers or financial syndicates in
their plans. In this connection, a great
deal is being said about the proposed
Mississippi River-Western road from
Natchez to Meridian, President Hudson
having announced that he has succeed
ed in placing the bonds of the company
with French capitalists, and declares
positively that the road will be built.
In the list of proposed new lines it is
absolutely certain that the New Or
leans Great Northern will build east
ward from Columbia in the direction of
Hattiesburg, and that the Mobile, Jack
son & Kansas City is behind the project
to extend the logging line of the Ellis
vile Lumber Company from Ellisvlile
to kola, a distance of about eighteen
miles, and will order the commence
tent of construction work as soon as
the ~right-of-way is secured.
1t is also announced that the Sage
Land and Investment Company, a cor
poration owning about 100000 acres of
virgin pine lands in Marion and ad-
joining counties, will build a line con-
Meeting Columbia and Poplarville, a
distance of about forty-fve miles, con-
Meeting at the former point with the
Gulf q Ship Island and N. o. G. n, thus
affording a new line into jackson.
The Liberty-White road is also plan
ming an eastward extension from it's
present terminus towards Columbia,
and the Marion county metropolis
promises to become a close rival to Hat
tiesburg as a railroad center.
There have been no developments
recently concerning the extension of
the New Orleans Great Northern road
out of Jackson, but recent conferences
Of the company's officials indicate that
they have plans in lew forsthe near
future, and it is still the general belief
that the Goodbye ears have their y Oh
the Pearl river valley northeast of
jackson as the most feasible route out
Of the city.
The many now being made
at least give promise of much activity
in railroad building in Mississippi dur
ing the coming year, and that the total
new mileage added during the annual
period will exceed any record since
1906.

Appeals TO Washington.

Washington, Nov. demands for

ment as the result of alleged mislead-
ing and incorrect statements of the
banks condition published i'm the
Daily Official, the official organ Of
San Salvador. The American charge
upon representations made by the
bank that it had suffered serious loss
in deposits and public credit from the
publication, was instructed by the
state department to make an inVeSti-
CATION as to the banks losses by rea-
son of the statement. The depart
ment directed the American charge to
call upon the Minister of foreign af-
fairs and say that the United States
expected the Moisant bank to be
treated with justice and to insist that
the misleading publication be retract-
ed by suitable article in the same
journal. 1t is expected that this re-
quest will be complied with.
