THE WORKMEN'S TRAIN.

Identical replies have been received
by number OF local citizens to tele
grams sent to Senator Harrison anf
Congressman Johnson. The kilograms
were to the effect that the removal OF
the Biloxi Pascagoula train was purel,
a local issue between this city and
other coast towns and requesting the
Senator and Congressman to keen
hands Off.
Mr.. Harrison's reply is as follows:
Washington, May "a, 1919.
Dear Sir:
| am just in receipt of telegram sign
ed by you and others concerning the
work train operating between Biloxi
and Pascagoula.
cannot allow myself in this matter
to be influenced by local interest one
way or the other There have been,
and possibly are now, large numbers
of citizens along the coast outside the
corporate limits Of Pascagoua who are
making their living in the ship yards
located in Pascagoula. | feei mat those
citizens are entitled to every reason
able convenience and facility that
might allow them to make a livelihood.
Railroads are public carriers and they
should serve the public purposes. |
do not believe that | would be justified
when any appreciable part of my con-
stituents request that | intervene in
behalf of their convenience and the |
maintenance of their livelihood, where
it could not possibly do anyone else
any harm, to deny it.
II the demand upon the part of the
operators at Pascagoula or of the en-
ployers at Pascagoula for labor is so
great and necessary that they employ "a
sufficient number of employees out of
other coast towns, outside of Pasca-
gula, to pay the necessary expense of
the operation of a train for the con-
venience and necessity of both, l am
quite sure would not be justified in
favoring the discontinuance of such
service, even though greater part of
the citizens Of Pascagoula might think
that those who work in the industries
there should live in Pascagoula. The ,
authorities have stated most empha-
tically that whenever the train service
IS operated at loss and is not reim- .
)ursed by guaranee that the service
would be discontinued.
Investigation evidently has shown
hat that is not thesituation as ye and
Until that condition arises | would .
eel justified in advocating the con- .
inuance of the train service. .
II always pleasure for me to .
erve you and my other friends down q
here and | dislike very much to ever .
ind my views at variance with yours o
nd theirs, but when the views of a :,
ublic servant do not coincide with the .
Jews of his constituents the ouly =
curse for the former to pursue is to
o what he conscientiusly thinks is :
he right thing. q
Sincerely your friend,
PAT HARRISON.

UNJUST Charge
IS REFU7ED
Prices on Goods in Pascaoo,d, s+or.s
on Parity with Other Coast Points.

a charge much to the detriment of
thiS city, persistently circulated for
many months past and given credence
ny the unthinking, is that the cost Of
hvlng in Pascagoula, and especially
grocery prices, is 25 percent greater
than in neighboring coast cities. II
is unnecessary to 60 into the motive be-
hind this fabrication.
In order to place the matter clearly
before the public and for once and all
reiute the charges, the leading grocery
merchants OF Pascagoula last week
employed a man to visit Biloxi and
Ocean Springs, provided with identical
lists OF groceries to be purchased from
leading store in each of these cities.
The same goods were then purchased
from three of the larger grocery stores
or Pascagoula and the middle list Sc
lected for purposes of comparison.
In making the sale each local merchant
was pledged to quote the regular price
on the goods enumerated
The original sales slips are on file
at the Mayors office where the public
is at liberty to examine them. The
interesting information is shown that
Pascagoula merchants sell goods as
cheaply if not cheaper than either of
their neghboring cities. An apparent
difference of &c in favor of Ocean
Springs on the list of nineteen articles
being Offset in favor of Pas
cagoula by the difference in price of
the large and small cans of cream
quoted, respectively.
The list, which is made up of such
necessaries as the average family
would likely purchases is published be-
low, with the prices charged II the
.hree cities.

TUESDAY ELECTION
Bond Election Carries Overwhelmingly
Graham Defeats Genin for Judge

The race for district Judge to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Neville elected very little interest and
small vote was polled throughout the
district. While the race was close
Graham seems to have defe"ed Genin
by about 500 or 600 votes. Graham $
majority in Jackson county was 79.
Genin carried the city of Pascagoula,
tScranton and South PascagouIa boxes)
by "a majority.
The chief interest in the election To-
cally was the proposed bond issue for
the building of concrete highway be-
tween Pascagoula and Moss Point.
The vote stood 300 for the bond issue
to 81 against.

Mr.. Johnson's letter is as follows.
Washington, May 23, 1919.
Dear Friend:
Your telegram received in reference
to the train operating between Biloxi
and Pascagoula | did not know thre
was any objection to the continuance
of this train, however, the order of the
Railroad Administration canceling a
former order to discontinue the opera
ton of this train, will in the fuure, de-
pend upon the receipts therefrom.

to this matter
Any time | can be of further service
to you, command me.
