EVERYBODY MASK.

& The concert conducted by Mr.. Frederick
Roehl for the benefit Of the Carnival Club
at Cantrell's Hall, Tuesday evening, drew a
crowded house. But which was better than
the mere fact of large attendance was
the enthusiasm on all sides for the coming
Carnival. The spirit of determination to
make it a success and the individual interest
that is SO necessary for best results in pub
lie affairs was noticeable feature that gives
bright promise of good time for all who
come to Covington on Mardi Gras day.
Mr.. Roehl made very timely suggestion
iii his few remarks before the final curtain
raising, when he stated that those who were
intending to go to New Orleans Mardi Gras
day will do well to remain at home and en-
gage in our own festivities. 1t is the duty
Of all, as good citizens, to do this. The op-
portunity for enjoyment will be as great
here as there, and should be greater fol-
those who have a proper love of home and
pride in its undertakings and there will moi
be half the worry and disagreeable things
to contend with.
Mr.. Roehl also expressed the wish thai
everybody should mask and participate &C
lively in the festivities. Mayor Richard has
promised that strict order shall prevail anC
while there will be no limit to nerrymaking
and fun, there will be no rowdyism allowed
Maskers may feel assured of having gooc
time in perfect security, and they cal
greatly assist in giving the day that rollick
inc, happy-go-lucky feature that original,
belonged to it

arguments advanced for the repeal Of the
mortgage tax law, and there is no doubt
that permanent investment in factories
and industries that would work up our
raw material, increase our property value
and give home employment is to be preferred
to mortgage investments that carry the in
terest out of the State. In either instance
the capital invested comes from sections
pledged to protection and interested in the
dissolution of the Solid South.
The principal obstacle in the way of accom-
plishing this is the question of negro domi-
nancy. It seems to us that the rapid in
crease in white population that will follow
the future development and prosperity of
the South will aid in the solution of that
problem, and that some means of avoiding
that calamity will be suggested. There is
not Southern man who would aid IN plac-
ing the South in such predicament yet 1t IS
evident that the Solid South will be broken
the establishment of new industries and the
consequent growth and spreading out of her
population the South will lose its individu-
atty, both political and social. We have
been preaching the birth of a new industrial
South-the development of her immense
stores of natural resources and dreaming
of the wealth that would be deposited at our
door; but we have forgotten that there are
other changes that must necessarily follow
and that will overwhelm the then weak
ened opposition. If it should prove true that
the final result throws political power in the
hands of the negro, it will indeed be sad
day for the Southern people. But we do
not believe that time will ever come, Those
who build up business interests in the South
who become subject to her laws and a part
of her social system, will no more desire such
humiliation than we ourselves.

ATTENTION. CITIZENS !

X
4 part Of the inevitable consequence of
inactivity is decay, and this law is SO unde-
waiting hat it applies to inaninate as well
as anlr-eae objects. A house uninhabited
soon becomes a prey to destructive elements.
ms analogy is applicable to town, and
tne abandonment or suppression of those
active forces that give life and energy and
pleasure is the first retrogressive step that
marks the decline Of effort and activity in
business
Coylngton has had much to contend with
and much to discourage her. While the
New Orleans and Great Northern Railroad
greatly aided in her building, it has also
contributed to check her advance by remov-
ing the general Offices and taking from her
those benefits derived from their establish
ment, both social and business, and by d.
yerting cotton to other points in the extern
sion OF their lines. But for town situated
as Covington is, nothing short of indiffer-
ence or incapacity in her citizens can pre-
vent her advancement As long as her social
spirit is full and unchecked we may be as
sured Of reserve force capable of devising
means of overcoming temporary embarrass-
ment and of building new stepping stones
to prosperity.
1t is therefore greatly encouraging to note
the preparations that are being made for the
celebration of Mardi Gras, and every assist
ance should be given to the committees in
charge. The merchants especially should
do all in their power to make it success,
for in proportion to it's success so will it be
profitable to them.
On the other hand we wish to impress upon
our citizens that it is their duty to buy what
they may need on this occasion from home
merchants. Don't go to New Orleans to buy
it. It lis expected that the ball will be grand
affair. There will be large number in at
tendance and many new costumes will be
needed both for it and the parade By buy
ing these things at home you encourage the
spirit that produces the occasion and help
to accomplish it's object, but if you rush of
to the city to spend your money and then
come home to enjoy the fruits of the labor
of your townspeople you will not only be
committing an act Of ingratitude, but you
will assist in killing the source of your pleas
ure and in weakening the activity and life
that prevents your town from decaying.
You demand of your merchants that they
keep in stock such things as you desire; yor
demand that they compete in price with
New Orleans merchants. Then you should
assist themato do this by giving them YOU
trade and enabling them to carry the stock
