The committee on the Jackson
election has made q majority report,
that is not as bloody and thunderous
as was expected. 1t goes III to state
that the colored vote in the election
was totally suppressed, mentions the
fact that J. B. Harris participated
therein and subsequent resignation
of the Office of L. s. District Attor-

charging them with offensive parti-

In view Of the recent unfortunate
experience Of bondsmeR in this cOun.
ty, we now hear It frequently Pc
marked, II wouldn't 60 on any
bOdy's bond The bringing Of the
guit against the bondsmen of q. W.
Beard, eX-circuit clerk. for damages
claimed On account Of some alleged
neglect of official dnty-whiIe in Of
tice-seems 10 have been the last
straw that broke The camcI's back.
We very well know that bonds have
to be made, and how they can be
made, with the public mind in its
present attitude on the subject, il a
question to be solved, and a very Sc
riOus one also.
We have given the matter some
thought. and we believe We have
reached n satisfactory ISOLATION of the
problem. There are in this country
several ''guarantee" companies, as
they are called, whose business il to
make bonds. Their operations are
generally confined to the employees
of railroads and express companies,
although not exclusively, as they
make bonds for nearly any person
who is acting in a tiduciary charac-
ter. The laws of this state require,
as m prerequisite to eligibility
that a bondsman of a county official
shall own real estate in the county.
The guarantee company would not
be accepted by the State, but they
could make a bond payable to the
bondsmen-On condition broken
and rendering them secure. These
companies charge by the thousand
dollars, for making bonds, six dollars
and fifty cents annually, for each
thousand dollars In the bond. The
official would of course have to pay
this amount. There would be no
necessity for giving bond in these
companies for the full amount Of the
official bond, but just enough to Sc
cure the bondsmen against any rea-
sonable loss.

The Grenada County Alliance and tn"
Merchants of Grenada.


On last Monday, as it will be seen
elsewhere, the Executive Committee
of the Alliance Of Grenada county
held a meeting in conjunction with
the merchants of our city, and pur-
chased a lot Of ground, upon which
the Alliance will erect a warehouse.
The citizens Of Grenada proposed to
buy the lot, pay for it and present it
to the Alliance; and at the meeting
the merchants who were present
subscribed for the purpose 1913 90,
and the balance will be easily raised
by the citizens of the town.
The lot purchased is a desirable
one, being large and convenient to
the business portion of the city, 1t
lies northeast of the public square.
and Immediately north Of and adja-
cent to the Mullin old building.
We understand that the Alliance
will at once commence the erection
Of the warehouse. and We trust that
it will be completed in time for the
storage of this years crop.
We are not only pleased at thr
thought Of the erection Of the build
ing, but are extremely gratitied thai
the citizens of our town evidenced
such liberality in insisting upon pay
ing for the lot. Some of Il farmer
friends have an idea that our mer-
chants have not taken much interest
in the success of the Alliance, and
are illiberal. Iii this they are mista-
ken. Our citizens are generous and
| liberal, willing at all times to do any
thing which has a tendency to en-
courage the farmers, aud to add tC
their prosperity and welfare. Every
thinking mind will see at once
that the prosperity of the ag-

Women as StorekeeperS

The fields in which women find em-
ployment as readily as men are increas-
ing daily. One of the branches Of iu-
dustry in cities which has been almost
entirely surrendered to women is that
of clerking in retail stores. Their
services are available at cheaper price
than men, and, in many stores, perhaps
nearly all, they do quite as well as
young men do. In country and village,
stores the employment OF women is;
rapidly growing but is not SO general
as it will be in a few years. There are
many lines Of goods, particularly in
dry goods and drugs, which young
woman can sell much more readily
than d man, that is with greater Salts
faction to the customer. Women make
good collectors too, and we are glad to
see that their usefulness Is extending to
that thankless part Of storekeeper's
duties. A merchant who has adopted
this new scheme was asked about it and
said: II find that my lady collector ID
persistent, faithful and trustworthy,
and has great success in making some
very bad collections. and | don't see
why lady should not be permitted to
ask for the payment Of a bill II she can
do almost every thing else about an
office.-American Storekeeper.

FlvE-POiNTED STARS.
How I'd Cut Them Out with n Singl,
Straight Clip of the Shears.

How I'd Cut Them Out with Single
Straight Clip of the Shears.
To cut five-pointed star with
single straight clip of the shears
might seem rather difficult feat to
accomplish. Once known, the process
is very simple. Take sheet of paper
of any size and fold it once across.
Then make fold at right angles to
this, merely for the purpose of deter
mining the center of the paper.
Throw the sheet back upon the single
fold and let the center point be the
point of a triangle when all the fold
ing is completed.
1t must be understood that to have
five-pointed star there must be one
single and two double folds, the folds
being made outward from the center
point. This single fold should be
made to point about four-ifths of
the distance to the middle line made
when the center of the paper was de-
termined. The first double fold is
made by folding the further side of the
sheet as it is left after the single fold,
back upon the outer edge of the latter.
The second double fold is then made
by folding what is now double upon
what is triple.
To obtain the star, now make cut
with scissors on a straight line dag
onally across from point some little
distance removed from the apex, to
the extreme outer lower point of the
fold. The cut may be made from
either regular side of the triangle.
The eye must be guide as to the
acuteness or obtuseness of tho angles
of the star.
A very little practice will soon en-
able one to cut one of these stars with
entire accuracy. Comparison of a
star so made with geometric star
will show it to be far more SYMMETRY
cal and graceful than the stiff, mathe-
NAUTICAL product. - Chicago Herald.

How Letters Are Disinfected.

Letters from stricken sections are
fumigated in a novel way, so that
there is little or no chance for the dis
ease being brought Northward. The
letters are stopped when they reach
the quarantine lines. Each letter is
put under a machine with long arm
attached, and this is provided with lit
tie teeth punctured at the ends. A
powder that is used for fumigating
purposes is forced through the arm
and down through the teeth. The
arm comes down on each letter, and
while the little teeth are perforating
the letter. the powder is blown in be-
tween the sheets, disiufecting the let
ter thoroughly. Then it is forwarded
10 the person to whom it is addressed.
Some complaint has been heard of
damage to letters, but so long as they
remain legible a little Disagreement
should be welcomed as a proof of
protection. -AmeF1eaH AsaIsst.
