The Dothan, Ala, Eagle has the

something good for the hustling town

things are usually said so well that
they compel conviction. Read this

Everybody who travels knows the

what the fare is when they get here
There is no need of man to locate
it, for you can address a letter to
Dothan from any point in the world,
and put nothing else to it, and the
letter will come as straight to Dothan
as a martin to his gourd. Every mail
clerk in the United States knows of
this town and its position on the map.

which the future is bound to bring
forth. No one familiar with the rail-
road congestion prior to October,
1907, can but realize that very large
extension of railroad facilities is es-
sential to the steady progress of the
South. Much of the breakdown of the
business of the country was due to
the inability of the railroads to handle
traffic. Long delays in freight de-
livery and the congestion, which at
times made it almost impossible to
do business, naturally brought about
conditions which harrassed all bust
ness interests almost to the point of
despair. No one recognizes more
fully than the Manufacturers Record
the disadvantages under which the
railroads were at that time being op-
Grated and the inability to secure
new cars and locomotives, the ina
bility to lay additional track and the
inability to secure money for these
improvements, even if the car and To-
connective shops and rail mills had
been able to produce the material
needed, but the time has come now
when an almost superhuman effort
must be made by the railroads to
get ready for the future or it will
not be long before freight COMPOSITIONS
and railroad accidents will be more
numerous than they were two years
age"

ENFORCING THE LAW.

The more than one hundred Missis-

sonal interest in the enforcement of

There is serious doubt in the mind
of this newspaper as to whether it
will profit any community to discount
the faithfulness of the sworn officers
OF the law by delegating to a county
superintendent of the Law Enforce

belong to the local constabulary.

that this movement will result in
serious conflict-that irresponsibles
will commit crime in the cloak of this
league and bring the stigma of unjust
reproach on the heads of those who
inspired the movement with the pur-
est purposes and Hottest of senti-
ments.
This was the case with the Ku Klux

PULLING FOR PROSPERITY.

The railroads of the country are al
ways expected to do their full share
toward the advancement of the terri
tory tributary to their lines. Rail-
roads can make a town and city by
according it liberal freight rates.
Railroads can kill town or city by
charging its merchants and manufac-
turers exorbitant rates.
Mississippi has been good to the
railroads When other states were
engaged in enacting two-cent rate
laws and other measures calculated
to impair railroad securities and par
alyze railroad development, be it said
to the Credit of Mississippi that our
legislators took more sensible view
of the situation,
And the same can be said of the
city of Hattiesburg No city in the
country has been more liberal toward
the railroads than has Hattiesburg.
But reciprocity has not been forth
coming in like measure.
The railroads have treated Hatties-
burg like a stepchild in the matter
of freight rates, and Hattiesburg mer-
chants and manufacturers have suf-
fered seriously because of the compe-
tition of Meridian, Jackson, Natchez,
Gulfport and other cities, where bet
ter freight rates are procurable.
The Commercial club is bringing
the matter before the interstate COM
merce commission, not because of any
animosity toward the railroads, but
as a matter of self-preservation. Sec

and Mr.. E. E. Williams, of the Lum-

pressing the matter before the South
ern riff association for the same
season.
Prosperity can only come through
concerted action on the part OF every
bodv concerned, and the railroads are
certainly concerned in the develop
ment of Hattiesburg and the territory
through which they pass.
There is no good reason why the
CITY of Hattiesburg with its four rail-
road systems should not have as low
a freight rate as any other city with
like competition, and The News be-
lieyes that the railroads are taking
the wrong view of the matter.
Discussing this question in slight
Nv different phase, the Manufacturer
Record says:
Nov that the excitement of politi-
cal activity incident to a presidential
campaign is out of the way, and with |
signs of returning business activity,
it is Incumbent upon the railroads
of the country, especially upon those
in the South, to strain every nerve
to get ready for the development !
