The good roads proposition has struck the city of Jackson amldships. and there is a. strong probability that the board of supervisors of Kinds county will be called up with demand for the issue of bonds in large sum to be used in the com struction of better public highways lead ing out from this city in every direction and to the other chief towns of the county.
 Recently the board of supervisors of Lauderdale county announced it's purpose to issue bonds in the sum of s200.000 to build roads leading out from Meridian, and the Harrison county board gives mo- tice that 1t will float $5O,000 worth to be used in the construction of good roads from Gulfport. These were not the first counties to make a move of this charac- ter, nor will they be the last. but con- siderab ble notoriety has been given to the action of Lauderdale and Harrison, and all enterprising county site towns will be after doing the same thing in the near future.
 For two years Kinds county has been collecting a ? mill tax on every species of property for the building and the main- tenance of public roads and is spending some S30,000 per annum in that movement. The consequence is that Hinds county has good roads-that is, better than the average. especially In summer and dry weather. What Kinds county now wants and what the city of Jackson will de- mand is that roads fhall be built out sev- eral miles In each direction over which heavy loads of cotton and other produce may be marketed even in wet and rainy weather.
 National guardsmen over the state will be interested to know that they are not exempt from the payment of road tax or duty any longer.
 For years the guardsmen have been ex- cused from the payment of this street tax by most if not all of the towns wherein military companies existed, but | hereafter they will have to pay their lit tie B just as do other individuals who are sound of body and limb and of road duty age, wherever roads are worked by contract.
 | The city attorney of Natchez called on | Attorney General Hudson for an opinion | on this matter, and he states that the military boys are all subject to road duty where they are worked by con
 tract, or rather they are liable for the | tax. which Is the same thing. 1 The city has the right. however. to
 exempt military men from road duty
 where the roads are not worked by con
 tract. just as they exempt ministers and l invalds.

EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice of Live-and-Let-Live PrInci-
pies Most Desirable.

Too frequently it is noticed that In
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights OF the individual are ignored.
Fair dealing is a desirable thing as
we'll as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
In the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. II is quite as
dfshonorable for the purchaser to ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as it is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods.
There is much sound philosophy in
the live-andlet-live gospel This Is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
Is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selfishness in evidence.
too great struggle for the vantage.
There should be a spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
of town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
1t noticed that where this feeling dom
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? It is
short sightedness ON parts of mer-
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered a
legitimate and just profit In fact. 1t
is poor business policy to follow out
a plan of this>kind There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through a grasping tendency
of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount of
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result Of poi
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their

distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
OF making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns. but for all the COM
muuities
