THE INTER URBAN
HOW MIR S. N. JONES SAVED THE
GREAT ENTERPRISE.
What Ii viii Do fov EIIisvilIe
and Its Merchants. How
Cost of Electric Lights Are
Reduced. The Line Now
Nearing Completion.

|
The people OF Ellisville, Laurel
and intervening country, and IN
fact, every taxpayer in our coun.
ty, we do not think properly real
alize and appreciate the debt OF
gratitude they owe Mr.. s. M.
Jones, the enterprising promoter
and builder of our inter-urban
electric railway and who compile
ted shat great enterprise with
lightning-lilSe speed. And we all
must now agree that no enterprise
ever inaugurated in Jones county
will do more toward the material
advancement and upbuilding Of
both towns, or can add more to
the pleasure, convenience and
prosperity Of all the people than
this same trolly-Iine. Stop the
cars running now for even day
and we would feel torn up and
completely demoralized. Even
those Of our Elllsvile people who
at first opposed the building OF
the inter- urban, beliving it would
take trade from Ellisyille, are now
among its staunchest sup porters.
Our merchants see that they can
meet and overcome competition
from any city or trade center and
their business has largely increa-
sed and is growing daily. Take
for instance Mr.. joe b. Cough
who is building up a fine trad,
from Laurel, the Hand Bros. wht
now monopolize several leading
.l.anss. !. ass GsslaXlss Il i,
ton in groceries, while our mag
nificent drug stores are attract
ing trade from remote sections.
Our people oonnot do too much
to show their appreciation of Mr..
Jones, and we should likewise
give the inter- urban every aid
and encouragement in our power
and not place one straw in the
way OF its inter ests.
And we want here to whisper
into the ears of our people that
bnt for the speed with which Mr..
s. M. Jones rushed through the
building OF the trolly-line we
would never have gotten that
important enterprise. There 10
now financial paralysis upon the
country and it is impossible to
sell bonds. Hence the Northern
capitalist who owns this electric
railway system had to supply ev-
cry dollar OF the money from his
own pocket. This gentleman was
anxious to lose his $4,000 forfeit
to the city Of Ellisville and aban-
don his project of building the
inter urban. But 1t was then too
late. Mr.. Jones, who never lets
the grass grow.under his feet. had
forestalled the panic, and work
had progressed too far to be then
stopped.
We did not get this informa
ton from Mr.. Jones, but it il
nevertheless authentic, and we
only refer to it to show our peo-
pie the debt OF gratitude that they
lowe that enterprise, hustling and
wide-awake gentleman.
| The trolly-line is now nearing
completion, and II the weather
does not interfere, in about twen-
Ity days the cars will be running
entirely through Ellisville ane
TO the A.. IL. s. This will not on
ly impart new life and actiyit,
into our little city, but be a grea
convenience to our people. This
cars will pass every point of pub
| lie interest and traverse our prin
cipal residence section. Ellisyills

Governor Not to Issue
PrOmiscuOus Pardons
At End of His Term

This is the last day on which Gov
ernor Brown will consider pardon ap-
plications, except those which have
already been passed upon by the par
don board. Quite a number OF appli-
cations have been passed upon and
are waiting for the Governors con-
sideration. Owing to rush OF other
business, though he did not have time
to take them up Friday morning.
Governor Brown some time ago an
nounced that he would not consider
any new applications after June 20
"A great number of people are ask
ing that l pass upon applications
which have not yet been filed with
the board, and, according to my rule,
! am not considering any cases until
l have the complete trial record and
unless Il is a case of emergency"
said the Governor. Il am a strong
believer in allowing the law to take
its course and shall not distinguish
the end of my term by the issuance
of promiscuous pardons"

But Aid Is Still Needed, and
Your Subscription Should Be

Subscriptions to the Yancey fund
are coming in rapidly, but there is
still need of several hundred dollars
more to properly care for the widow
and orphans of Deputy Sheriff Dave
Yancey who lost his life at the hands
of a desperate negro. From all over
the State subscriptions are coming in,
but it is hoped there will be an even
more generous response to the ap-
peal for help.
The cottage home which Yancey
purchased shortly before his death
still has a balance of more than $500
due on 1t. 1t is desired to raise an
amount sufficient to pay this off and
to present Mrs. Yancey with suffi-
cient to tide her and the eight or
phans over the heavy loss of their
natural provider.
Subscriptions of several negroes to
the fund caused considerable COM

that the majority of negroes deplore
the criminal acts of many of their
race.
