A Much Felt Want.

The Grenada Sentinel very forcibly
urges the necessity for Mississippi
bureau of immigration. mississippi
needs more white people on her fertile
farms. There our wealth lies, and
from them the majority of our taxes
come. Settlers will only come when
they are shown the peerless advantages
of our soil and climate. Individuals
cannot do this necessary work. 1t
should be a public labor for the public
good, and the State should hire man
to do it,
And he would be kept pretty busy If
he did nothing else than answer in.

Gals or private citizens who have not

of bureau of immigration, agriculture
and statistics, with the right man in
charge, would do much to promote the
material progress of the State.

of those who fought and those who
fell. Many of the Indians were them

persuaded the Georgia Legislature to
appropriate $4,000 for its establish
ment, and who gave from their private
means a like amount, plus $4,000
worth of machinery and $4,000 worth
of supplies. The textile department,
which is said to be one of the best In
the country, was a new feature Of edu-
cation in Georgia, and one that be-
came popular at once. Instruction
was given in the manufacture Of All
grades of cotton goods, in manual
training, chemistry, dyeing, designing
and engineering. The school has been
in operation about two years, and II il
stated in recent report that Of the
ninety-four living graduates all but
nine are employed in pursuits for
which they have been fitted BY their
training at the school. They are me-
chanical engineers, superintendent Of
cotton mills, in machine shops, chemi-
cal factories, oil mills and other es-
adjustments of the same kind, nearly
all being in positions Of authority and
commanding good wages.

Observation-Disclosures Academy.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Chamberlain Hunt Academy.
The cornerstone of the new Cham
erlan- Hunt Academy, at Port Gibson,
vas laid with imposing ceremonies at
high noon on the LIST instant The
vent had been very generally adver-
Used, and an elaborate program pub
ished. Great crowds were expected,
md they were there from Vicksburg,
Natchez, Fayette and all the railroad
towns in convenient reach, and from
The surrounding country, so far as bad
roads and continuous rains would per-
nit. The procession was formed at
l1;So am, the Masonic grand lodge,
the local and visiting lodges, being
escorted by the Volunteer Southrons
and the Utica Rifles, who had reached
Port Gibson that morning by dirt road.
The new site is about one mile west of
the town, and the procession covered
good portion of the distance.
The ceremonies of laying the stone
were led by Grand Master B. V.
White, Senior Grand Warden 0. L.
Mckay, Grand Chaplain Rev. John A.
B. Jones and full complement of act
ing grand officers. The music was fur
nished by splendid band from Baton
Rouge and by a select choir of ladies
and gentlemen. Past Grand Master
Frederick Speed delivered a most ap-
propriate extemporaneous address &C.
cupying not more than twenty minutes.
he was followed by Hon. J. R. Preston,
ex-superintendent of education, who
reviewed educational progress in most
interesting way. He grew eloquent in
discussing present conditions and pos
sibilities.
Letters were read from Mr.. McComb
acknowledging the kind expressions of
the public meeting thanking him for
his noble gift.
Nothing could be more beautiful
IMAM the present site-about seventy
nve acres. The building will be as
handsome and complete as money and
SAIL can make 1t.
Chamberlain-Hunt Academy is the
successor and inheritor of the assets of
Old Oakland College, and is doing for
the new South the same good work
mat Oakland did for the old.
After the exercises of laying the stone
me audience made a generous contri-
button to the Natchez Protestant Or
'nan Asylum, and then the multitude
proceeded to the best dinner we have
'Ver seen prepared for such an occa-
ion.

The Cotton outlook.

The New Orleans imes-Democrats
in its report of the progress Of the cot
ton crop during July, says the con-
sensus of opinion is that distinct inn
provement in the outlook has occurred.
Texas is probably the best situated Of
the states, while Mississippi is the
worst. The Atlantic states have suf-
fered somewhat from drought.

The proceedings of the largest and
altogether the most successful annual
meeting of the State Teachers Associa-
ton, held at West Point in April last,
are published in very neat pamphlet
of 1874 pages. In addition to the min
utes, and the rolls of officers and mem
bers, there are eighteen papers on live
school topics-most of them well writ
ten; several could have been improved
by putting them in better shape for the
printer and proof reader. 1t will not
be difficult to find many practical and
helpful suggestions in these papers.
They are valuable contribution to the
educational progress of the State, and
are richly worth the cost of printing
them. President G. F. Boyd has mani
tested good deal of interest in getting
them through the press.
Some claim that "a man with one
eye sees BEST" and we have heard it
suggested that a man with two eyes
sometimes "sees double" And this
reminds us that very special news
paper friend of ours, the editor of the
Vicksburg Post, has only one eye,
with which he manages to see what is
going on. This, from our journal OF
the Vicksburg seige, explains how he
lost the other: MAY 20, 1868. =
John G. eastman, of our regimental
band, who took musket this morning
and went to the trenches, was severely
wounded-a ball first striking the bar
rel of his gun, hit him in the mouth,
knocking out his front teeth. and SO
seriously injuring one of his eyes it
will have to be removed"
The Pascagoula Democrat-Star talks
sense in the following paragraph: 1.-THE
supervisors will pass on all pension APP
plications in September Those who
are Justly entitled should receive all
they can get, and those who are not
should be made to understand they are
not in it. 1t is fraud and an outrage
on the deserving INDECENT to have the
good intentions of the State thwarted
by dead beats who have no claim what
ever upon this fund The supervisors
cannot make their inquiries too search
ing, and if they will call on the Con-
federate camps they may learn thing
or two about claimants"
The State archives, removed from
the upper floors of the capitol to the
penitentiary in January, 1897, have
been removed back to the capitol, and
are now in the hallway near the office
of the secretary of State. There are
more than fifty immense boxes, besides
tons of old assessment rolls and hun
dreds of volumes of government publi-
cations. In the removal to the peni-
Tertiary, and while stored there, many
ancient records were lost, but those
that have been saved are of priceless
value.

CHIEF OF POLICE SHELDON.
Famous Author May Keep The Peace
In Topeka.

Topeka, Kan, Sept.13-The recent
temperance crusade in Topeka will, it
is believed, result in the appointment
of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of
in His Steps," as chief of police.
The position has been offered t. five
different men, and none Of them would
accept it on account Of the dry-town
policy inaugurated. Two of those who
refused to accept were s%ergeants on
the force, and it goes without saying
that when the preacher-editor becomes
chief there will be two vacant SER
geantcies.
1t is understood to be DR.. Sheldon's
purpose to run Topeka as Jesus would.
If this is true it is taken for granted
that there will be a great stirring of
dry bones in the police department,
and violation of the law will cease to
be a profitable business.
The blind pig, which has SO long
been a comfort to thirsty policemen,
will be a thing of the past. While To-
peka is supposed to be a prohibition
town, it is the kind of prohibition thai
does not prohibit. This condition Dr..
Sheldon canno understand, and it will
OF course, be his special study. In ac-
cordance with the teachings of sacred
history he will emulate Jesus by ad-
ministering to the needs of the friend
less and homeless, and will depend
largely on moral persuasion in reform.
ing criminals.
Instead OF having the penalties of
his crime thrown into his teeth the
burglar will learn all about the feeling
OF satisfaction which comes with hon
esty, and will then be put behind the
bars to think it over. If he follows
the same line of reform adopted on
the Topeka Capital during his term of
editorship the use Of tobacco will be
prohibited about the police station.
DIR. Sheldon will find plenty to do
when he assumes the duties of the po-
sition cut out for him. 1t is supposed
that on account of the much-talked-of
corrupt condition of the police depart
ment there will be numerous new ap-
pointments, possibly including many of
the preachers personal friends, whose
previous experience has been confined
to teaching Sunday school or working
in the slums. What they will do when
confronted with murderous crooks is
conjectural, but it is not believed that
they will have sufficient faith in the
the power Of moral Influence to
throw aside their guns in the shuttle
or hesitate to use handouts on desper-
ate criminals.

Two Popular Citizens Of Sheridan
Grow Quite Enthusiastic.
w. c. Morgan Of Sheridan, says:

Without %dandruff there is no falling
