Grenada has

one Of the most remarkable histories
ofany town in the State.
She has been swept by the fury Of
the cyclone, the food, pestilence and
fire, and as often as she has disappear-
ed from the map, she has arisen In
grander proportions and with a great
er destiny.
SHE HAS NOW,
A Compress, capable of packing II
hundred thousand bales of cotton, for
Northern or European shipment.
An Oil Mil which can tnrn sat
10000 barrels Of cotton seed oil in the
ordinary season.
Two Of the tirest Free school build
ings in the commonwealth, with an
attendance of four hundred pupils, Of
both races, with a corps of teachers
unexcelled in education and practical
ability in the South.
A Collegiate Institute, in the hands
of Mr.. T. J. Newell, whose teachers
are the peers of any institution for the
education of girls to be found in this
broad Southland.
Merchants, Lawyers, DOCTORS and
Citizeus, who will cope, III intelligence
and high moral character, with any
town of the same size, on the CONT
nent.
-Four Churches, Episcopalian, Meth
odist, Presbyterian and Baptist, whose
members and preachers will rank az
high in %learaing, devotion and reIig
ious sympathy as any to be found on
the globe.
A country surrounding her, filled
with people as patriotic, as moral and
progressive as can be found within
the broad limits of the Federal Union.
A Bank as true to the well being
of her people as any monied institu-
ton of the same size, in the State or
out of it.
The next thing she will have, is the
Methodist Male College, which will
be the browning c~aptivation of her
advancing glory.
Now we don't want all the earth, but
we are going to have our share, and
don't you forget it!

Adjournment Close at Hand.

1t is probable that the legislature will
adjourn next Saturday. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that it will get through with the
business before it by that time. 1t appears
to be tired, and there is no doubt that the
people are tired of it. They have nothing
in particular against this legislature, be-
cause it has done as well probably as any
OF its predecessors, but they would be tired
of any legislature that remained in session
as long as this has.
What a mistake the last constitutional
convention made when it assume that the
state could get along with one session of the
legislature in every two years. Not only is
the legislature in session every year, but
the sessions are becoming longer. 1t would
not be surprising if after awhile the sessions
should be twice as long as at present They
certainly will be if fewer special acts are
not passed. There ought to be few gen.
eral laws that would relieve the legislature
of great part of the work it now does
The idea of legislature wasting its time
with matters that could be attended to more
intelligently by municipal councils and
county commissioners is simply preposter-
Gus.
There is need of a reformer In the legisla-
ture-a man who is big enough to see the
reforms that ought to be made, and who
has the intellectual force to compel their
adoption. Such man would be of ines
timable value to the state. If the subjects
legislated upon were reduced in number, SO
that all matters could be attended to in one
session of forty, or even sixty days. what an
immense amount of money would be saved
| to the taxpayers!
Some of the members of the present leg :
islature have done honest work. If it had
not been for them, very little would have
been accomplished. They have stuck to
their posts, aud when quorums have been
obtained, they have been ready to push
business Their names ought to be made
known throughout the state. because they
are the ones who should be put into the
| places of trust and responsibility.

How to Get South American Trade.
The pan-American delegates will soon be
back in Washington, prepared TO talk about
business matters. They will have seen
enough to convince them that we are pre-
pared to supply them with all the manu-
featured products they need-products
which they now obtain nom Europe.
Doubtless they are willing to give US all
their trade, provided they can do so oneas
good terms as European countries offer
them.
Last year we imported from Central and
South America products Of the market
value of $751;, OO0,O 900, and we sent them
products of the value of s69, 100000. We
paid them in cash, through London bankers,
who charged us the regular rates of ex-
change. s112,0G0,0 600. The question which
presents itself is this: Cannot we pay this
s112, 100000, or whatever the amount may
be annually, in the products of our factories
instead OF in money! The conviction that
we can was the reason for calling the pan
American congress.
The protectionists say that we can get
control of the Central and South American
trade by means of a subsidy system-that
is, by establishing steamship lines between
this country and the countries of Central
and South America with government aid.
The tariff reformers say that it is impos-
sible to mako the dead-head echeme of the
protectionists success-that the only way
to get the Central and South Americans to
take our products, in preference to those of
Europe. is to undersell the manufacturers
of Europe, and that we can do this only by so
reducing our tariff that our manufacturers
can compete successfully with those of
Europe. There is no doubt that the tariff
reformers are right. and some of the re-
publicans are beginning to acknowledge
that they are. At the banquet to the pan
American delegates In Chicago, Senator
Farwell, of Illinois, republican, in the
course of a very well-considered speech,
said: II am in favor of such a modification
Of the tariff as may seem to be necessary
or desirable in order to encourage South
American trade"
All Of the United States delegates to the
pan-American congress are understood to
be protectionists. This is unfortunate, be-
cause it is apparent that the only way to
accomplish the chief one of the objects for
which the congress was called together is a
reduction of the tariff. If the United
States delegates prevents the congress from
taking that view of the matter. Mr.. Blaine
will be to blame for it, because he appointed
them, with the\ understanding, doubtless,
that they should favor the subsidy scheme.
The Central and South American dele
gates, however, are well informed with
respect to economical questions, and they
may say frankly that the only thing that
prevents this country from having a mo-
nopoly of the trade of their countries is our
high tariff laws. If the pan-American con-
gress makes declaration of that kind a
beginning will have been made in the work
of removing the barriers which prevents
the trade Of our southern neighbors from
coming to us.

He Didn'. Believe in Gambling.
From the Neru York Sta


Mr.. Russell Sage was the speaker. had
called on him at his Fifth avenue residence at a
little before midnight, seeking an interview on a
matter about which it was soon apparent the
old gentleman did not want to talk He was
just preparing for bed when l called, and came
down stairs in his shirt sleeves. He received me
cordially, but somehow could not bring him to
the point. He would insist upon talking of
something foreign to what sought Finally
he said: Let me tell you about a deal hap
pened to be into once in New York and New
England. It happened this way: The stock was
very low at the time A pool was formed to
boost it, The fellows in the pool, somehow or
other, wanted me to be with them They came
and asked me to take 10000 shares didn't
care much about it, but the boys said l couldn't
lose anything. and 1t would help them out with
the pool, so to help the boys out consented
We'll. that stock kept going up and going
up: did'n pay much attention to It. I was
only in it to help the boys out you know.
Finally, one day looked at the tape and that
blamed stock had advanced thirty points
Charlie, said l. calling one of my boys, go
over to my broker and tell him to sell nv
New England, every share of it. This things
getting to be too much like gambling for
me-"
How did the other fellows come out?n
asked.
Well, you know, don't believe in gambling.
and that is the reason sold out. The other
boys staid in too long and lost, l believe; but
then, they were gambling"

Title Hunters.

The whole world is familiar with fortune
hunters. They are to be found in every
country. There are both men and women
who seek to acquire fortune through mar
riage. They do not desire the kind of hap
piness which is based upon respect and love.
They place money above everything else,
and tondly believe that if they have that,
they can get all else in life that is worth
having.
Within the last few years there has come
into notice In this country class of women
who can be called, very properly, title
hunters. They have a great deal more
money than they know what to do with.
and as money can confer upon them no
distinction which hundreds of others do
not possess, and no more happiness than
those enjoy who do not have a tenth part
of their wealth, they have turned their at
tention to titles.
Two women of this class have within the
last few weeks attracted public attention in
both this country and Europe. One was
Miss Huntington, now the Princess Hatz-
feldt, and the other is Miss Caldwell. They
are both estimable ladies, but it seems they
we're anxious for titles. They did not wait
for the poor but titled fortune-hunters of
Europe to seek them in this country. They
went to Europe, and, it seems, very quickly
found what they wanted. Miss Huntington
secured Prince Hatzteldt. and Miss Cald-
well became engaged to Prince Murat
Perhaps it would be unjust to these ladies
o say that they have no affection and very
little respect for their princes. 1t is difficult
to understand, however, how Miss Hunt
ington could have been very much inter-
ested in Prince Hatzfeldt before she married
him. He certainly was not an admirable
character, if the stories told of him are
true. He had wasted his youth in dissipa-
ton and had been guilty of several acts
which were disreputable. 1t is safe to say
that If he had not been prince Miss Hunt
ington would not have given him second
thought
Miss Caldwell's prince has the reputation
of being an honorable man. but he is old
enough to be her father. In view of the
fact he is dissatisfied with the allowance
Of money she is willing to settle upon him
there is not much doubt that he considered
that it was his title, and not himself that
Miss Caldwell wanted. He hasn't long
line of noble ancestors as Prince Hatzfeldt
has. His grandfather was the son of an inn
keeper, and his father, Prince Lucian,
wasn't the sort of an ancestor to be proud
Of
The number of title-hunting women in
this country will doubtless Increase as the
number of great fortunes increase, and it is
probable that they will be able to find all
the titles they want in the European
market.
