PUSHING WORK ON

| Special to The NeUs.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 6.-Undaunted
by the several prosecutions under the
antitrust laws, and the refusal of the
railroad commission to permit an in
crease of rates, the Cumberland Tele-
graph and Telephone Company is
pushing its new construction work in
Mississippi, on which fully $1O00,0 900
has been expended during the past
year.
The line along the New Orleans &
Great Northern road between Jackson
and New Orleans will be in readiness
for use by the list of January, if the
weather does not interfere with the
work of setting poles and stringing
wires. The company is also doing a
large amount of new work along the
Mobile. Jackson & Kansas City road,
and within the next two or three weeks
will have it's new line from Jackson
to Memphis, along the Y. & M. v
road, in shape for operation.
The local exchanges along the gulf
coast which were badly damaged by
the tropical hurricane, base been re-
paired and service resumed.
The prospect of competition in jack
son has apparently not given the big
corporation any alarm, for plans have
been formulated to spend about $780,
600 in improving and enlarging the
local exchange. A new switchboard
ordered several weeks ago will be in
stalled shortly after the list of Janu-

Jackson, Dec. 6.-With the ulti.
mate object of establishing a chain OF
first-class drug stores covering the
entire state, the w. L. Brown Com
pany, of this city, has applied to Gov.
ernor Noel for an amendment to its
charter authorizing an increase of its
capital stock to 100000.
The company now owns three
stores, two in Jackson and one at
Yazoo City, and within the past few
days options have been secured on q
number of drug establishments at the
principal commercial centers of the
state, which will be taken over by the
first of January, and negotiations fol
other options are now in progress.
President W. L. Brown has recently
associated with him in the manage
ment of the company Mr.. E. M. Day
a well-known citizen of Belzoni, who
will hereafter devote his entire time
and attention to this chain of drug
stores, and who will act as secretary

PARENTAL INDIFFERENCE FILLS
JAILS WITH CRIMINAL

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The question is often asked: From
whence comes the eternal stream of
hcentious men and youths who fill our
jails and penitentiaries"? And what
the predispOsing cause?"
That those recruits come from all
races, walks, occupations and condi-
lions of life cannot be denied. And
that the rural districts furnish the
smallest percentage Of criminals also
goes without saying. And the reason
for this is not far to seek. Being but
thinly populated, and the absence Of
those dens of vice with which the
cities and smaller towns are cursed
being the principal safeguards and de-
terrent force. Again, the man or boy
who works upon the farm usually
finds but little time at his disposal to
seek out dissOlute comrades or Hceu-
tiOus resorts. For this reason, he is
often hindered from gratifying his evil
inclination, though prone to do evil,
as the sparks are to fly upward"
1t might be supposed, too. that the
larger cities. with barTOoms, houses
of prostitution, gambling resorts and
its multiplicity of temptations for old
and young, would furnish the greatest
percentage of criminals, but in the
ratio of population this is not true
In the first place. the city does not
allow its boys or men TO loaf at will
upon the streets or become Migrants,
as they are prone to do in smaller
places where there is no police regu-
latiOn. This being true. il remains
only to be shown that the mining dis
trictS, with their constant foreign IN
fluX Of the degenerate of all nations,
together with the small manufacturing
towns with what may be termed their
floating population, are the chief
centers from which our criminal re-
cruits eternally arise.
Allowing, then. for hereditary way
wardness and inherent lack Of moral
rectitUde handed down from genera
ton to generation, l affirm, without
fear Of successful TefUtatiOn, that
parental Indifference. parental neglect
and parental yiciOusness are the we'll
springs from which our jails and peni-
tentiaTies are replenished as fast as
they are emptied.
The father, whose whole soul. en-
ergy and aim is the pursuit of the
almighty yet evasive dollar, usually
leaves these matters 10 the wife and
mother, the school teacher and the
clergyman, claiming he is too busy, too
much haTassed by business cares to
look after the moral rectitude of his
offspring. contenting himself by ad-

school in order to get rid of them
The boy, finding the school a place
where he is required to apply himself
with diligence and a place where he
is likely to be disciplined for his mis-
conduct, and whereas he had never
experienced restraint in his home,
naturally plays truant, turning to the
street for amusement where be meets
other boys equally idle and vicious
and HcentiOus men ever ready to teach
him the downward road which finally
leads to the penitentiaTy or the gal
lows. As all men are aware, cTimi-
nails have often affirmed, while stand
ing at the foot of the gallows, to their
own shame and the everlasting dis
grace of their parents, Had not my
parents INDUCED me and failed to cor
rect my youthful waywardness, I had
not been found standing here today"
Just what parents feelings may be
under such an accusation, l must leave
you to imagine. But are they not
Teaping that which they have sOwn =?
Yea, verify: they have sOwn the wind;
they can but reap the whirlWind.
Now, when the fact is noted that
many of those young men are often
handicapped at the start by vicious
and immoral parents, by fathers who
are not ashamed to be seen drunken
in the presence of their families, by
fathers whose only knowledge of God
is a name to curse in, by fathers
whose only precept is, Don't get
caught" is it to be maTveled at that
their sons early imbibe the lessons
taught them by precspt and example
of the very ones whose whole duty it
is to inculCate right standards of moral
TeCtitude2 As the twig is bent, so is
the tree inclined. Solomon, the wise,
said: Bring up a child in the way
he should go. and when he is old he
will not depart from it, Let the par
ents of the present and succeeding
generations give earnest heed to and
obey this one pTecept of SOlOmon's;
then the reDroach of the stranger will
not be heard that we spend more on
our jails than upon our schools" Then
the jaiIs and penitentiaries viii soon
rot down from disuse.
