The Railroad Situation.

Every day lessons the TIM
when the plans for the new rail
road will be perfected and con
struction will begin. Tuesday
Messrs. B. 7. Clark and V. G,
Kincannon Of Tupelo made oul
town a visit in the interest OF
the road and quite an interest
was manifested by the citizens
of the town over the. prospects.
Mr.. Clark made a strong talk at
the court house in the afternoon
outlining the plans and the work
that has been done and what
was necessary to insure It's
speedy construction. He showed
that with the capital stock al
ready subscribed, with others
who will take stock the money
can be secured to build and equip
the road.
AS a result Of this information
the citizens Of the town in mass
meeting passed the following
Resolved that we request and
ask the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen to call an election at
the earliest possible date for the
purpose of submitting the propo-
sition whether the sum Of S25.0OO
in bonds or so much as may be
necessary shall be issued to buy
right Of way depot grounds ETC.,
through the town of Pontotoc for
the Tupelo, Pontotoc Toccopola
and Fulton Railway Co.
The Board of Aldermen met
Tuesday night and in response to
the above ordered an election on
Aug. rs to determine whether
the bonds will be issued.
It will be understood that this
money can only be used after
the road is constructed to the
town and in only such amounts
as may be required to purchase
the necessary right of way and
depot grounds and no one need
be afraid to vote for the measure
since it is safeguarded i'll every
way possible and we feel sure
the sentiment is almost unanl-
nous for the issue as the road is
wanted and it won't do to let it
drop out now.
This practically insures the
road and we say again that if
those in charge of the road will
keep on it will certainly be built.
The survey has been COM
pIeted and the company will soon
be ready to get a charter and
organize when the right of way
will be secured and they will be
ready for work to begin. =

Col. Fl. NJ. Street, Speaker of
the House of Representatives OF
Mississippi, has been spoken OF
as a probable candidate fer
governor in the next race. Col.
Street has served Mississippi
faithfully as a legislator and dur
ing Reconstruction days stood
shoulder to shoulder with j. Z.
George, John NJ. Stone and other
leaders of that period. He
possesses all Of the qualifications
necessary to make an excellent
governor and the time has been,
since Governor Stone retired,
when the people could have been
served better with Col. Street IN
the executive chair.

THE NIGHT RIDERS AGAIN.

The Reel Foot night riders
have begun anew their system OF
threats to prevent parties against
whom they have some grievance
from doing business with the
lake fishermen. Notices have
been posted warning the fisher
men to not sell fish to certain OBJ
,jectionable parties under certain
penalties. This following so
closely upon the reversal of the
verdict of the Circuit Court by
the Court of Appeals would indi-
cate that the night rider realizes
that his friends now in jail fer
the murder of Capt. Rankin will
never be hung for the crime. it
is doubtful if they will be tried
again and if they are they will
be promptly turned loose.
1t is a great misfortune for the
state of Tennessee that justicecan
not be meted out to these Villain
GUS murderars, but the chances
are they will go scot free. Judge
Jones in his anxiety to get the
grand jury he wanted overlooked
the plain letter Of the law and
furnished an avenue Of escape IN
throwing his net to catch the
guilty and punish them. The re-
versal of the judgment Of the
over court was a sore dlsap-
pointment to the people Of the
state but the supreme court fol-
lowed the law. as they saw it and
gave the murderers d new hear
ing. The notices recently pos
ted shows that the spirit OF the
night rider has not been crushed
and we fear the past has furnish
ed nothing to compare with the
crimes that will in the near fu'
ture stain the name Of the state.
