THE SURVEY

The government surveyors, under
Chief Woodfin, have finished their
task OF surveying the 21 mile stretch
between Jackson and Pelahatchie.
and have gone their way to other
fields.
Before leaving, Chief Woodfin, in
an interview with the editor stated
that the new road as mapped out
would make one of the prettiest
stretches to be found anywhere in
the State. He also said that the
road would be an easy and compara-
lively inexpensive one to build.
The work of this crew of experts
was exceptionally good, and we be-
lieye the route, as planned, will prove
satisfactory to ALL We understand
nearly mile was cut off the dis
lance between Brandon and Jackson.
Just how much was saved from
Brandon to Pelahatchie we do not
know. But, it is safe to say the
route was shortened.
The plans are now in the office
of the State Highway Commissioner
in Jackson, and will soon be for
warded to Washington for final con-
firmation. 1t is reasonable to expect
that it will not be long before actual
building operations begin.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

Now that candidates are making
announcements and that soon our
county, as well as others, will be in
the midst of one of the most spec
tacular campaigns ever staged in
Mississippi we believe it will not
be amiss to quote the law governing
campaign literature:
Under the primary election law 1t
is illegal for any person, candidate,
campaign manager or otherwise, to
publish any bill, placard, pamphlet or
poster, relating to any primary mat
ter or TO any candidate without
signing their names to the document,
and it is also Illegal for any printer
to print any campaign literature
without signing the name of his firm
or self to the bill, placard, poster or
pamphlet. The law imposes a tine
of $500 or six months in jail or
both for its violation, and it is made
compulsory on the district attorney
and county prosecuting attorney to
enforce the law Under this law,
the character of every candidate,
both men and women, from
constable to governor, is protected.
A reading of the state press seems to
indicate clearly that the Mississippi
editors propose to have high
minded campaign, now that women
are voters; and that the newspapers
of the state will insist upon the en-
forcement of this law to the letter.

FRANCE AND THE RUHR

Forty thousand French soldier are
now encamped on the outskirts OF
Essen. AS in war times everything
is in hustle and stir.
What ii will lead to we cannot tell.
But surely these are trying times
for those peoples of the old world who
have not found that peace which was
declared just 90 months ago.
1t was a bold stroke that France
made when the leaders of that nation
decided to enter Germany and col
fect by force of arms. Our sympa-
thies are with France for she has
suffered much. but it is possible that
in this case she has made a serious
mistake.
Unless Germany is allowed 10
progress in a commercial way it
will retard the progress of the rest
of Europe, and much depends on the
rehabilitation of the old world
Nearly a half a century ago Bis
marck, man of blood and iron, seized
Alsace- Lorraine from France. Not
for one minute did the French forget
it, and when the time seemed ripe
France fought to regain her precious
soil. Should France decide to keep
the Ruhr district it may cause an
other disastrous war to be fought in
this century ------- -

LOOKING FORWARD

The year 1929 is destined to see
some wonderful improvements made
i'm Rankin County. The new gravel
road will have been completed be-
fore the holidays come again, and
with it our county will make the
greatest forward step in its history.
Instead of our being compelled to
wallow through miles of mud, and
over slippery roads that mountain
goat would have trouble in negotiat-
ing to get to the outside world, the
scene will be shifted and instead we
will witness the world coming to us
on rubber tired vehicles. People will
pass through our county in ease.
whether they are driving the lowly
Ford or IA stately limousine.
When our citizens desire TO make
trip the journey can be made i'll
comfort, and with a degree of pleas
ure heretofore undreamed of.
Business firms which have fallen
in the rut will take on new life, be-
cause a constant stream of buyers
will force them to prepare for the
new business which is theirs whether
they want it or not.
Real estate and farm values VIII
take an upward slant. Building ac-
tivity will be more pronounced
everyone will be benefited.
The Rankin County Farm Breau
is beginning to function. The county
agent is conducting one of the most
aggressive campaigns ever witness
ed. Great good will result from these
two agencies.
And over and above all these the
great heart of the citizenship of the
county is pulsating to the measured
and orderly tread of progress and
prosperity. Sectional differences
are being forgotten as each and
every man and woman in the county
works for the development of our
own beloved Rankin County.

RAILROAD TROUBLES

The Missouri & North Arkansas
Railroad which runs from Helena,
Arkansas, to Joplin. Missouri, dis
lance of $40 miles is in very bad
plight For the last few years the
railroad has been harassed with
damage suits and strikes. The public
sentiment had become so bitter
against the railroad that large YER
diets were given by juries on the
flimsiest OF damage suits. Following
this trouble, the strike in 1921 so i'm
poverished the railroad treasury
that all operations of the railroad
had to be suspended and all trains
were taken off. The citizens along
the railroad were thus forced to meet
great calamity as the railroad
transportation facilities were com
pletely at an end.
When the freight and passenger
trains failed to run and the line was
completely abandoned, the people
along the railroad, for the first time,
realized how badly they needed rail
road transportation facilities.
After being abandoned for about
sixteen months, the road was placed
in the hands of receiver and the
Trains We're again operated. The re-
ceiyer thought things We're going
pretty We'll until dissatisfaction
among the employees caused a
strike The receicer offered to give
the employees all the earnings OF
the railroad and not pay anything
TO stock holders and bond holders,
but the employees were not satisfied
with this, and wanted the receiver
to pay them all the money taken
i'll, plus % per cent. The receiver
had nowhere to get this extra money
and could not accept the proposition.
The employees then began to burn
bridges and tear up the railroad gen
orally. The citizens along the rail
road line, having become thoroughly
impressed with the necessity of OPP
Grating the railroad, turned out in
numbers TO check the. burning az
bridges and destruction Of other
property. The feeling became so in
tense. that the citizens mobbed one
man who was engaged In the bridge
burning.
When the people realize how i'm
portant it is for friendly co-opera-
tion between the railroads and the
people. ii will be bettre for both.
The editor happened to be in
Arkansas at the time this railroad
was put out of commission, and
therefore realized the importance
and necessity of having the best
railroad facilities. In order to have
these facilities, it is absolutely nee
essary that the railroad should have
money to supply them with. 1t is
far better that the railroads money
should be expended in making the
road bed better and providing better
cars and equipment than to have it
paid out in unjust claims.
So far as Rankin County is con-
cerned. we are proud to note that
there is the best of feeling between
the railroads and the people. Our
fellow townsman, S. l.. McLaurin.
Division Counsel for the Alabama &
Vicksburg Railway Company. tells
us that in his six years service as
division counsel, not single case
has been tried in Rankin County
against the Alabama & Vicksburg
Railway Company. This is due to
the fact that the railroad is always
ready and willing to- make proper
adjustment to any claims against
the company.
