Work will soon be commenced on
Tupelo's $l50,000 cotton mill. Such
an enterprise gives Il town a big
impetus. Grenada ought 10 get in line
this year and round up a cotton mill.
When we can manufacture cloth In
Grenada from the cotton raised on
Grenada farms we will be pretty close
to doing something. Grenada ought 10
be a city in the next ten years. Fac
tories, railroads, mills and money are
the only factors, though, that can bring
about this much desired result.

The cotton market has gone TO smash
and the big prices which have prevai ed
for the past six months have taken a
tumble. All this matters very little
TO the horny handed son Of the field
who produces the staple upon which
all the rest of the world speculates.
The prices which will prevail in
September, October, November, and
December are what will make the
farmer feel glad with rich returns, or
sad with not enough money realized to
nay his honest debts. Let the spec
Ulators rob and steal from each other
row, but just let cotton light safely
around the nine cen mark when the
new crop mt on, and all will be
as serene as a wedding morn.

Admiral Dewey has come down
several pegs in his own estimation.
a few brief weeks ago he was a bigger
man than even the presidency de-
manded, and he announced defiantly
and irrevocably that he would have
the presidential nomination or nothing
nc small temptation like the vice
presidency could tempt him in any
way whatever. So cold was the water
dashed upon his aspirations hat he
has now concluded that he is no bigger
than the vice presidential chair, and
that If he is offered the job of being
Bryan's running mate he will accept
it. While the SENTINEL is ever ready
80 praise Dewey's deeds OF proves on
the sea, it can never go into e~cstacies
over him as a politician, and we think
the Kansas City convention will do best
by leaving him altogether alone.

No Two Thumbs Alike.

1t is not alone on questions of hand
writing that handwriting experts are
called upon to testify. Thumb impress
sions, around which Mark Twain in
"Puddin'head Wilson" built his ingen-
ious story, have sometimes formed
the basis Of very convincing testimony.
Conan Doyle said that Carvalho's de.
ductions-fn the case of the robbery Of
$4,000 from a package of the Ameri-
can Express company, for nicely Of
reasoning and extraordinary coinci-
dence, eclipsed anything any one ever
dared put into fiction.
In 1894 Asa Guy Quincy was tried
ON the charge of stealing large sum
of money from the express company.
1t was proved that Quincy had opened
the safe where the package had been
placed, taken it out and deposited it in
another safe. 1t was found that a
large sum was missing.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial. The envelope containing the mon
ey bore upon it, however, thumb Inn
preston. Mr. Caryalho testified that
the impression on the envelope and
several impressions of Gurney's
thumb correspondent exactly and con-
tended that there were no two thumbs
in the world alike. But such evidence
was too subtle for the rural jury which
tried the case, and the prisoner was
acquitted.
1t is to be recorded as n tribute to
the accuracy of Caryalho's testimony
that Quincy soon after confessed

Sterling is derived from the name by
which the jewellers in eastern Germany
were known in the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. They were called
Easterlngs. The purity not only of
their money was very famous, but that
Of their silver specially so, and coiners
and slversmiths were fetched from
those parts to improve the quality Of
our own manufactures.
So far back as 1897 two counterfeit
ers, who sold spurious silver articles
bearing a simulated royal lion and the
goldsmiths marks, were sentenced to
stand in pillory at Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature of the offense for which
they were so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly march
ed to Cheapside, put in the pillory
there, and had each one ear cut off,
finally being conducted back to the
Fleet prison and having to pay fine
of 10 marks each.
1t seems that In recent times the rec
ord price for Elizabethan silver was
f70 los per ounce. For old articles in
this metal the sum usually obtainable
ranges from 60 to Ell per ounce. ac-

High Schools and Normals.

Neils p. Hoegh was in town one day
last week looking into the subject of
his townships securing township
high school. There are several fami-
lies in his township whose children
desire better education than they can
get at the common schools and their
parents do not feel able to send them
away to college. Mr.. Hoegh finds
there is law that would give them
authority to vote tax on the property
of their township to build room for
q high school and to provide teachers
for it. People are hardly aware of the
existance of such law. We do not
know of an instance where it has been
employed except at the villag e of Oak
field in Extra township.
There is no town in Oaktield town
ship and consequently no graded and
10 high school, but only common, I'M
graded schools, well taught and well
attended, but there is not the chance
for tho older students to get beyond
the common branches unless they
leave home. They talk some of tax
ing advantage of this law and provid-
ing high school of their own which
will be free to all children within the
township of certain ages and who can
pass certain examinations.
This move in Oakfeld township rep
resents a phase of the educational
question that should not be lost sight
of by our Legislators and by those who
create more normal schools. 1t is a
movement on the part of the country
people to obtain more advanced educa-
tional privileges, and obtain them near
at home. Every act of the legislature
that helps to strengthen the high
schools of the cities, towns and little
villages over the state, and that creates
they are needed, these rare the acts
that most benefit the people. These
acts may not help some particular
locality that wants to flourish by rea-
son of big educational institution,
but it helps the bulk of the people.
The state Eormals are state institu-
tons for training professional teachers.
Those whe attend them nearly all have
to leave home to attend any way. Two
strong state normals are surely better
than several weak ones. Give the rest
OF the appropriations to the high
schools.

Since When?

Since when has the Inter Ocean and
Times Herald obtained authority to
speak for the west as to it's position on
the Porto Rican or any other question
In the west there are some outside of
those newspaper offices who do think
ing for themselves.
Since when have those who control
those papers risen above mercenary
considerations, so as to advise the rest
of the country how to periodically
think? IT hasn't been long since they
accused each other of being solely
within the grip of monied interests,
and with no power to think but as it
was doled out to them by corporations.
Since when have those papers dis
covered that Senator Mason and Sen
atorl Hoar, Senator Lindsay, Don Dick
inson and other mugwumps and demo
cratic lights, hayelbecome safe guides
for the republican party on how to deal
with our possessions?

The administration and the reprb-
lican majority in congress are con-
fronted with some grave questions as
to our relations with our new posses
ions. Some of those questions are far
reaching in their consequences. The
one which congress is now debating,
the Porto Rican tariff, is an important
one, but not so serious that it need to
disrupt the party, or cause any danger
of it. Whether trade between that
island and this country is free, or
whether slight duty both ways is
collected and turned over to Porto
Rico to aid in repairing its shattered
condition, need not cause any repub-
licans to lose faith in the republican
party. No matter which is done,
some will find fault, but the man
of good judgement viii trust those in
authority that they, being better ac-
quainted with the conditions, are doing
the best that can be done under the
circumstances.

1.-THE Advocate and GoebeI.

3 y
The Advocate seems to be very
much wrought up because we called
attention to its '.about, face" on the
Kentucky election case. We didn't
call the attention of the public TO its
action to make it's editor indignant,
but merely to point out how hard
he was trying to support all things
democratic regardless of their justice.
That we were not disappearing the
Advocate, and that we have no inten-
ton of doing so, we will quote from its
issue of the 10th in which it says /:
"Some time ago we wrote short ed
itorial in which we stated that we be-
lieved Taylor justly elected COVER
nor of,Kentucky. After further study
of the case we are inclined to doubt
this for several reasons, Taylor has
not shown himself worthy of his posi-
ton by his conduct The article
then proceeds to discuss some of lay
lor's actions since his election. Be-
cause it cannot approve of them it con-
cludes Taylor was not elected. We do
not understand the process of reason
ing by which it arrives at that con-
clusion from those Premises. Taylor
improperly called out the toughs from
the mountain districts to defend him
therefore he did not receive n majority
of the legal votes cast for governor,
seems to be the Advocates reasoning.
At least Taylor's recent acts are pre-
sented as the reason the Advocate has
changed its opinion.
1t has seen fit to torture what we re-
Gently said about the subject into a
declaration in favor of murder. If it
desired to truthfully represent us
it would not do this.
We would call the attention of the
editor of the Advocate to the statement
in the daily papers that Hon. j.
S. Blackburn, democratic U. S. sena-
tor from Kentucky, promised at the
grave of his friend, Col. Sanford,
whom Goebel killed, that he would
help avenge that murder. This we do
to call the Advocate attention to the
estimation in which Goebel was held
by at least one of the leading public
men of Kentucky. Further, at the
time Goebel was shot he was in com
pany with Jack Chinn, the most famous
fighter in Kentucky, another indica-
ton of the standing of the man.
T he Kentucky mess is bad enough
1t is disgrace on our civilization. We
are of the opinion that Goebel more
than any other one man helped to bring
it on. His career from first to last
was filled with controversy and strug-
giles in which he aimed at success and
power regardless of the means. That
some democrats should now try to
make hero out of him is sad re-
Election on their conception of hero
We are glad the Advocate assured
it's readers in its last issue when speak
ing on thislsubject that it has always
attempted to encourage and not to dis
courage civilization. We hope it will
maintain that sentiment.
