The quarterly report Of the Gulf &
Ship Island Railroad Company for the
quarter ending December 81, has been
received by the Mississippi Railroad Com.

as compared with the figures of the cor.
responding quarter a year earlier, not
withstanding a decrease in total receipts.
The total receipts for this quarter
amounted to $525,365, while the operat.
ing expenses were only $3.50, s69.48, leav-
inc net earnings of $164, 495.52, an in
crease of $5~1,383.62. Taxes, interest on
bonds, etc., reduces the net revenue to
SAG .OId.5 increase of ~$13,812.84.

New ENTERPRISES.

That the spirit of enterprise and de-
velopment is awakening, and men in
Mississippi are casting about for new
fields of business activity, and business
is not in such direful shape as for some
months past, is indicated by the in
crease in the number of new enterprises
that are being chartered, which are gen.
eral in character, embracing mercantile
and industrial lines.

Location for State Encampment.

There is a very decided and clearly
defined interrogation point following the
speculation as to the location of the
1908 state encampment, and as the race
seems to have narrowed down to two
cities-Meridian and Jackson-the inter-
est is all the more keen, and the rivalry
interesting. The people and the organ
i~zations in both cities are very active.

CONGRESSMAN HANNA EXPLAINS

Editor Independent
Dear sir:-I notice your article in reference to
my vote on the Cannon matter and also as to my
promise .4E
enclose a clipping which is absolutely true both
as to the promise and what l did" l voted
against MIR. Cannon in the Republican caucus. Mr..
Gronna and myself both voted for Mr.. Cannon for
speaker the floor of the House
| know you want the actual facts and hence this
letter and clipping. Yours truly,
T. b. Hanna,
Hanna Made Good All Prediction Pledges.
Hanna's Promise.
| would say that and have been for long
time against Mr.. Cannon for speaker and have so
expressed myself whenever the matter has come up.
do not feel that Mr. Cannon represents Republican
ideas as l look at them and also I believe that he
is out of line with the best sentiment of the Re-
publicans generally throughout the country and
shall support and do all that can for any good
Republican that may up in opposition to him.
I have talked this matter over with a good many
men who are, like myself, candidates for congress
and I find among them strong sentiment against
Mr.. Cannon might be placed in position where
| would have to vote for Mr.. Cannon, should he be
the choice of the Republican caucus but shall do
all can to keep him from being the choice of that
caucus and also all that can to keep him from be-
ing candidate before it.
The foregoing was the pledge made by Congress-
man Misunderstanding Speaker Cannon--in let
ter to Rev. Chas E. White and others of Park River
last October.
That Mr. Hanna kept his promise is shown by
the fact that he and twenty-three others voted
against Mr.. Cannon in the Republican caucus, he
voting for Tawney of Minnesota. After Cannon
was declared the nominee Mr.. Hanna like any
other good Republican who participated in the cauc-
us should have done supported the party selected.
The foregoing facts set forth at the request
of Mr.. White.

The Palermo Standard evidently is not satisfied
with the manner in which the insurance statements
were divided by the members of the Ward County
editorial association. The editor certainly has no
kick coming, for notwithstanding the fact that he
was notified to be present. he failed TO put in his
pearance. Out of the 2G publishers in Ward and
Montrail counties only ten were present, and yet
those who did attend the meeting, willingly divided
the pie as equally possible with those who failed
to come We believe that the Standard received
recommendation for two insurance statements, and
each OF the Minot papers received but that number

are not complaining. Come brother, throw off

Typhoid is one of the most loathsome and fatal
diseases with which humanity is afflicted 1t is es-
sentially a disease of filth, are many others But
typhoid may be spread in many ways. Your milk
man may wash his cans bottles with water from
an infected WE'LL and the result is infected milk
person sick with what is known as walking typhoid
NAV spread the disease broadcast. The polluted
water supply is the most common source of typhoid,
and the house fly is another agent in scattering the
germs. These are important things to remember
with the coming of the summer months, for typhoid
is a preventable disease, and every death thereby
is the result of someone's carelessness And typhoid
kills more people than the carelessy handled gun.
There is good reason for care and caution in other
things than the handling of firearms.

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

We have in mind farmer w:.o has not made the
grandest financially, and his friends are
wont to point him out failure. And yet when
we stop and think of what he has accomplished dur
ing the many long years that he has toied and
struggled, we have come to the conclusion that ne
has succeeded where others far richer than he is,
have failed There is to life than mere piling
up money for ones relatives to scrap over. One
may scrmp and drudge and scheme. and save, and
by living in penury, lay by good many thousands
of dollars that will never do one any good The
man who makes money his God takes pleasure only
in the making of that money-never in spending it
in using it that he may make others happy.
The farmer have in mind is comparatively
DOOR and yet we say, he has been successful. He
has reared large family, has given them all a
good education, fed and clothed them well during
the time that they growing to manhood and
womanlood and found time to consider the Word
of Cod withal He has them established IN
comfortable homes and while they realize that
father is not who knows how to hoard up
wealth. they revere dear old dad for his many manly
qualities and will cherish his memory long after his
