Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
TIMETo TAKE NOTICE.

That the conditions which exist in
South Mississippi are becoming gen.
orally known all over the United
States is evidenced by the editorial
from the New York Commercial which
follows this.
The fact that such a reputable fl
nancial journal should devote so much
space to conditions along the M. J..
and K. c. Railroad ought to make the
management of that road take notice
that it is very important that some
thing be done to develope tonnage
along their line, if they expect to re-
public. In fact this same thing ap-
plies to all the roads in South Missis-
sippi and if the managers of the trans
portation lines in this section do not
adopt policy which will result in
making every mile of road self sus-
tanning, where it is possible to do so,
those who have furnished the money
to build the roads or those who now
have their money invested in them
will be wanting to know why it is
not done. The railroads in this terri
tory have it in their power to start
the much needed development of these
cut-over lands and it is imperative
that they begin an intelligent cam
paign at once. The whole financial
foundation of South Mississippi must
be strengthened by the development
of the agricultural resources an while
there is no doubt that this develop
ment will come in the course of time,
but in the meantime there will be
scores of people who will lose all they
have before this development is realiz-
ed and it may shake the foundation of
more than one seemingly solid bust
ness institution before real prosperity
comes to stay in South Mississippi
he following is the editorial from the
New York Commercial:

A Railroe DIS Opportunity.

Just as some railroads in the north.
ern and western states were built
primarily for the principal purpose of
transporting coal from the mines 20
the great trunk lines or navigable
streams or else to outlets on the sea-
board or the Great Lakes, so the Mo-
bile Jackson and Kansas City Rail-
road was constructed originally for
getting to market the lumber from
the great areas of virgin forests then
existing in southeastern Mississippi
and southern Alabama and for the
general development of the lumber |
industry. In very many instances the
coal roads referred to became great
factors in the opening-up and in the
industrial development of the regions
penetrated by them and eventually '
came to be important railroad sys- 1

seekers and in every way co-operated
with the landowners and the people
in building up the region-and thus
built up for their companies new and
profitable lines of traffic.
In the case of the Mobile, jackson
and Kansas City Railroad, however, it
appears that the energies of the man.
agement were from the start concen-
trated on the development of the lum-
Der industry alone, and with the re-
suit that, as gradually the lands were
stripped of trees, there were few or
no other sorts of freight to be hauled
and the passenger traffic was shifted
largely from one to another section
as numbering and milling activities
produced the business. Inevitably the
company got into financial difficulties
and from these it is Just now on the
point of emerging. Its owners and
managers ought to have learned a les
son from their past and more recent
experiences; and the Hattiesburg
News, one of the leading daily news
papers Of Forrest county and South
eastern Mississippi, reads them some
timely and wholesome advice when it
says-after remarking that there is
only one crop of pine trees in a CEN
fury:
There must be a different policy
adopted, if the road is to experience
a prosperity which will enable it to
meet its future obligations. II is very
important that some policy be adopted
at once which will make up for lost
time, for this road is now running for
miles through a country with great
possibilities but in which there is little
or nothing doing to develop the latent
resources. The News has felt for some
time that possibly the difficulties I'M
der which the Hattiesburg Commercial
Club labors in trying to get cheap cut
over lands for actual settlers might be
lessened, if there should be a coopera-
ton of the railroad managers whose
lines run through South Mississippi.
At present their efforts are limited to
spending a little money for salaries
for industrial agents who can do moth
ing because there is no land for sale
and this condition will continue in
definitely unless some comprehensive
plan is adopted for securing large
bodies of land to be sold at reasonable
prices"
The agricultural and industrial DOS
sibilities of that region are immense.
From Mobile northwesterly across the
Alabama line up to Jackson on the
Pearl river there are upward of twen- |
ty-five counties-almost all of them in
Mississippi-with scores of thriving
and prosperous cities and towns. the |
centers of vast farming areas and adj |

CAUSE FOR THANKS

It must be a source of pride to Risbee that the Chautauqua course of lectures now in progress is be- ing so well attended Each night Is showing an increase in the audiences that go to hear the speakers ami this is highly gratifying. But it Is not only the quantity of attendance but the quality which is distinctly notable and attracts the attention wins comment from the visitors.
 This city has always claimed to have a position in the forefront ot the fore ranks among the cities ot the southwest when the education, culture and refinement of her citi- zenship is taken into consideration and the splendid attendance which is being given to these lectures but goes to bear out and strengthen this claim. It has been shown in the past by the ready support which the cittzens and tax payers have given the school board, by the fine schools that are erected and maintained, by the many beautiful churches, by the splendid r. NJ. c. A. building, by the eagerness with which entertainments which appeal to the ethical side have been received and by the support which Is always given to performan- ces. theatrical or otherwise. of the higher class. But never before has this phase of Bisbee character been so clearly displayed as at the pre- sent time. The people of the city flock eagerly to the amphitheatre. Thus far it has mattered not who was the speaker, the audience has been there to heart, eager to learn
 A chautauqua course works to the betterment of community mentally and morally Its attendance is too apt to be confined to but small class yet here in Bisbee such is not the case. There is no particular class represented at these lectures, the attendance is general, and this is one of the things the speakers have noted as we'll as the more than average intelligence of the audience and the close attention which is giv. en them. For this reason, rom the fact of this attendance, Bisbee will receive a greater gain as the result of the chautauqua than will those. cities which can not boast of this high degree of intellectually which is the proud possession of Bisbee.

 When I life the veil and disclose To you the identity of Patsy's children fear you may not see them with her eyes nor love them with her heart. But to one endowed, as was Patsy, with that priceless gift of the gods that turns darkness into light, gives life to the inanimate, and peoples with the good and the beautiful world of it's own. across the threshold os which a more mundane vision may rot trespass, all things are possible.
 In her time. which amounted to six years. Patsy had nsny dolls, not one 1f which. however, had survived her notherly solicitGde, and in their dis rupted state much of the duplicity of doll nature had been revealed to her.
 There was a baby who did not gu 10 sleep because she was sleepy, but because of a leaden ball at the back of her eyes, and there was another with her head full of stale crumbs of cake, which Patsy, self-denyingly, had so often gently forced between the part ed lips
 There was still another, beautiful dnnabel Lee.
 These were Patsy's dolls. Patsy's children were different She had touched them with the magic of her | thought, and they lived and moved and were hers. Back in the dim ages of Patsy's memory her son, her daugh- ter, and her baby had had another existence, but so gradually had their Identity as children of hers dawned upon her that there had been nothing shocking or inartistic in their trans | formation from the cover of a sewing machine, the drawer of a yellow table, | and a red carpet footstool Nobody | nowadays ever mistook them for other than Patsy's children.
