Mr. Bullis Talks.
I _
Something About Work That In ISelng Done
On Hi* Komi.
General Manager Bullis was in
Jackson Tuesday and being inter
viewed by the Clarion-Ledger re
porter gave out some information
which will be read with interest
by the citizens of Hattiesburg.
He said, “that the work of putting
the roadbed in good condition be
tween Jackson and Hattiesburg
is progressing as nicely as could
be expected under the circum
stances. The bad weather during
k t the past week has retarded work
somewhat, but a large force of
hands is engaged, and substan
tial gravel ballast is being scat
tered along the road at the rate
of 150 cars per day.
The Gulf and Ship Island road
is gradually getting in better
(shape in all departments, and
considering the fact that the track
was laid in mud between Sara
toga and Jackson, tne company
has been very fortunate in the
matter of accidents. It is the
ambition of the management to
install a firt-class trunk line track
fully as good as that of any sys
tem operating in Mississippi and,
although the work will require
considerable time and a good-size
expenditure of capital, it will fi
nally be brought about.
“The traveling public is highly
pleased with the resumption of
the double daily service on the
road and the four trains are being
well patronized. The freight
trafic is also patronized well, con
sidering the inclemency of the
weather, and the shipments of
lumber to northern points via
this city are steadly increasing,
as the mills along the line in
crease their capacity and new
mills are established. It is esti
mated that the Gulf and Ship Is
land road has brought between
$8,000,000 and $9,000,000 worth
of lumber to Jackson since the
first of last September, a period
of less than six months. This
gives onlv a partial idea of the
lumber industry along the road,
as a great deal of lumber is ex
ported from Gulfport.
The Difference Between Bill
and John.
The following contrast between
the Mississippi senator and the
world’s ideal of prize fighters has
been drawn by the Times-Herald,
of Chicago:
Senator Will Van Amberg Sul
livan, of Mississippi, has slapped
a voung woman’s face in W ash
ington. Let’s sec. Does Mr.
Sullivan claim to represent that
good old Southern chivalry we
used to hear so much about?—
Times-Herald 8th inst.
Mr. John J. Sullivan, when
asked what he would do if Mrs.
Nation came to smash his saloon,
I replied:
“I wouldn’t hit a lady. I don’t
care what kind of a hat she had
on. Dey may take me honest
earnin’s from me, but no man can
say dat I ever forgot my man
hood, not for a minit. Dey may
rob me outright, dey may dope
me and knock me out wid clubs,
but dey never can make me for
git dat I’m a gentlemen; dat’s
what your friend John L. says,
and don’t get it wrong. All I
want Mrs. Nation to do is to give
me ten minutes warnin’ if che’s
cornin’ to smash me place.”
. Do you think that you could get
tail your whisky stored in some
' warehouse by that lime?” he was
j asked.
“No, but I could drink t, ” the
I old idol of the people answered
