A story is a1oat, says the Mohave
Miner, to the effect that the killing OF
white men by Ahvote was prearranged
by the tribe. The Piutes certainly
knew the morning Of the outbreak that
something was going to happen, as each
one wGo had been working around the
canyon did not show up aud the others
had taken to the hills. It is said that
the Indians want TO drive the whites
away from Ell Dorad canyon, and to do
it without drawing government troops
into that country it is agreed that one
Indian will 60 out and kill all the
whites he can. If he makes his escape
he will be heap big Indian. IF the whites
go on the war path the tribe will go out
and kill the Indian. This will satisfy
the whites. A few we'll arranged for
ages will soon frighten the whites so
badly that they will pack up bag and
baggage and leave the country It is
now asserted that Steve, one OF the
lUI0S WIZ SuOt AuFOtS, LAS UC0A Sc
lected to locate a number of whites
and kill them of. He can get six or
seven and the whites will only get one
Indian in return. In ce Sc another In-
dian goes out there is sure to be band
of southern Piutes trimmed up for
trip to the happy hunting ground. Nc
"heap bad Indian" will avail them. The
whites want peace, even IL it has to be
gained by exterminating every redskin

One OF the serious features OF the
condition OF this section at this time,
say the Holly Springs South, is the
quantity of corn being imported and
sold by our merchants. This, In
a great measure. is not the fault OF our
farmers, but to some extent We fear
it is fact they left too small a
margin to meet the contingencies
OF a short crop, and in many cases
wasteful use of it in the fall, and too
many hogs to feed. Better have q
surplus as in the past two years than
to be forced TO buy to make crop
with. Our farmers should remember
the delta is preparing 70 raise an i'm.
mcnse crop OF cotton this year. and
should take care TO plant enough corn
for home consumption.

A Model Institution.

One OF the most complete and we'll
arranged general stores in the State OF
Mississippi is that OF A. F. Oliver &
Co. at Courtland. A person would
hardly expect to find a store Of such

tior Of the progressive firm OF A. F.
Oliver & Co. for honest and liberal
methods of doing business has increas-
cd their trade year by year until its
present gratifying growth has been at
lained. and it is still! increasing. The
store covers a large area and carries
braced in the lines Of groceries, dry
goods, fancy goods, clothing, jewelry,
hard ware, furniture and even under
takers supplies. The tasty and con-
venient arrangement of this vast stock
at once attracts attention, and for this
Mr.. c. l.. johnson, the energetic man
ager, who has been with the firm for
eleven years, is entitled to the praise,
for under his watchful and faithful eye
is every article put in place. Mr..
johnson is a hustler in all that the
word implies, and is deservedly popu-
lar with the buying public. He shares
with Messrs. Oliver & Co. the esteem
and regard Of all who buy from or sell to
that model store. Mr. Oliver, the head
of the firm, is most elegant and clever
gentleman, active in all commercial
and social lines. The SENTINEL wish es

CIRCUMSTANCES ALrER CASES.

From theoretical standpoint, and
from practical observation as we'll, the
SENTINEL 10 Of opinion that II our
farmers would cultivate less land and
work it better 1t would make a vast
difference in the produc tion Of the land.
This 10 q fact realized in every farming
section Of the United States, and no.
where should it be more so than In
Mississippi. Quality and not quantity
should be the leading idea Of our farm
ers, instead OF the reverse, which is
too generally the case. Few farmers
in this State would begin crop with
less than twenty-five or thirty acres.
This, with good team, good plows
and an industrious, strong man, is not
too much. But the man who is in
nately lazy makes no deduction for
that, neither does the man with a weak
constitution and other physical disa-
bilities make any allowances Tor these,
nor does the farmer with poor little
rat OF mule or horse make any allow.
ance for that. AS one man can do it,
of course all the others measure their
capacity by him. AS we'll try to make
every man wear the same size hat or
boots.
No, friends, there are important
considerations to govern farmer in
making his crop. First, the individual
industry of the man, the strength and
power of his teams, the implements
with which he farms, and the nature
of the soil he works, for without these
helps put forth in their best condition
and shape, even fair crop is very
doubtful. II you have sorry team,
on the best land, a tirst.class crop is
not only doubtful but impossible. II
you have a good team and good land,
but poor tools, even then you need not
expect the best results. So let US ad-
wise every man that farms this year to
consider we'll all of these conditions
and govern himself accordingly, with
the idea that Il little land well culti-
waited will yield better returns than
quantity of laud poorly cultivated.
This is condition, not a theory.

PINGREE ON PROSPERITY.
He Says the Only Way TO Get Tt Is to
Give the People Work

Detroit, Aug. Ex-Governor Pingree
was asked today his opinion regarding
come to the country. He said:
There is only one thing that can
bring better times, and that is, give the
people work. You don't give them that
by taxing them. No, sir; you cannot
tax people into prosperity. Hence, 1
do not believe in a tariff for revenue.
l believe in a tariff on luxuries, true,
but the rest / would raise by taxing
those who have property and not those
who have not. Why, have you any idea
now much the average propertyleSS man
pays? He is taxed on everything. l
say tax those VINO have property Let
the poor man alone. Where is our mar
ket? It's the mass of the people. Now.
then, if they have no work our market
is destroyed. Then let us build UP this
home market. Do not let US destroy it
by taxation I'm in the shoe business
/ buy leather Am / benefited by the
tariff on hides? Why, no; that tariff is
simply a tax ON the man who buys
shoes. Give us an income tax and let
US tighten the burden of taxation that
now rests on the poor man. 1 tell you
this question of taxation is one of the
grea test ones before the people today.
I believe in taxing the corporation 1
tried to get laws through the last legis-
lature SO that the railroa dS would pay
their share. I failed, although a meas
ure was passed which will increase the
revenue from this source 5000, 600. 1
had to sign it, although 1 was opposed
The railroads in Michigan only pay
about $S00,000 taxes. They ought to
pay 81, 600 into the treasury. [ favor
ed taxing them up to the full limit,
abolishing all passes and making the
passenger rate 2 cents a mile through
out the state.
Nothing should be asked except low
fares. It's another point of taxation.
Why tax the people who ride on cars
for pavement and such? 1t ultimately
comes out of their pockets, whether the
concession demanded be a per cent OF
the gross earnings, a car tax, track tax,
pavement or lighting clause, anything
ultimately it reaches the masses who
ride on the cars. Why tax them? No,
sir. Give thenn-the poor people-low
fares and pay for our pavement by tax
ing the people benefited. 1t means
good deal to some poor laborer, working
for 80 cents or a dollar a day, whether
he pays cents or 3 cents for car fare.
Stop taxing him, I say, and let US place
the burden where it belongs. That la
borer helps to make our home market;
make him prosperous and we'll be pros
porous. Reform our laws on taxation
so they'll be just and equitable. Send
some men down there to congress-I
call it the house of lords-who won't be
blinded by the wealth of the corpora
tions, and you'll soon have prosperity"
