Some Railroad Problems.

We have received copy Of an illum-
mating little phamphlet published by
the Illinois Central Railroad, entitled
"A look into the heart of one of the
problems OF railway operation in the
State of Mississippi" The pamphlet
contains an appeal of General Mana
ger T. J. Foley to the farmers of the
State, asking their cooperation in
preventing the killing of so much live
stock, and the comments thereon by
the press Of the State. The pamphlet
also contains two adverse criticisms
on Mr.. Foley's appeal and his reply
thereto. The appeal and the comments
were all published during the current
year, and the whole is certainly illum-
mating to one who has the welfare of
the whole State-both the people and
the railroads.&c. heart,
There is significant statement in
the introduction to the little pamphlet,
that "the trespassing of live stock
upon the waylands of his (Mr. Foley's)
roads has, since Jan. 1, 1901, up to
the present time, resulted in derailing
1lS trains" and long list of killed
and injured human beings" along the
lines in this State alone. That is GER
tainly food for thought. Not only the
great loss entailed by the destruction
Of live stock and derailed trains, but
there has been a great loss of human
life besides.
Surely it is high time for the farm
ers and the railroads to get together
on some sane plan to prevent such
wholesale destruction of life and prop
erty.

Miss, to address us on some phase
Of school work. Prof. Calhoun is
State Rural School Superintendent,

that day. Five teachers have already
consented to meet with US. We also
hope to have our very worthy County
Superintendent of Public Education,
Prof. w. w. Lockard. However, he
states that he is not quite sure about
it yet, as he has partial engagement
on that day.
We invite everybody to meet with
us, as we hope to carry out the pro-
gram as outlined by our very prof.
Gent State Superintendent of Public
Education.
Hoping to see you on that day we
are yours in the work.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Inc CONSTITUTIONAL Amendments.
While no official announcement has
yet been made, yet from private let
ter from Secretary Of State Power, we
learn that the six amendments con2ern-
ing the Supreme Court have probably
carried, and that the three Jther
amendments, the initiative and :eferen-
dun, the one increasing thu represen-
tation Of South Mississippi in the
Senate, and the one providing that nine
jurors could bring in a verdict in
civil cases-have probably failed. The
delay in announcing the result off
cially has been caused by the election
commissioners failing in most in
stances TO report the total number
Of votes cast in their counties. In order
to be carried, a constitutional amend
ment must receive - majority Of all
the votes cast in the election, and not
simply a majority o. the votes cast
on that particular amendment.
The editor Of the Herald has labored
in season and out Of season in favor
Of the initiative and referendum amend
mcnt. While defeated, yet we accept
defeat philosophically. Our conscience
is clear, we did the best we could; we
never cry over spilled milk nor nurse
a sore toe. Our only regret is that the
amendment was defeated in the house
Of It's friends. The country peopel in
many parts of the State we're largely
in favor Of the measure, yet they did
not 20 to the polls.
We believed, and still believe, that
the initiative and referendum would
enable the people better to control
their own affairs. But the people have
spoken and we are content.

Mr. II. II. Douthat as candidate for
Alderman too late last week to make
any reference to it, and SO we make
amends this week. Mr.. Douthat is too
well known, however, to need any
commentator from us. He has long
been identified with the business in

four years as an alderman, and is now
the efficient secretary of the CONNER
