On the first OF October next school
books will be adopted in Mississippi

the crafty school book agent is abroad
in the land seeking whom he may
devour. Great caution should be
exercised in the selection OF these
books, and the best books at the most

CLEVELAND SEES THE DANGER,

In many respects Grover Cleveland
is Il great man. and it cannot be de-
MED that he is a statesman OF rare
ability. There are thousands and
thousands of Democrats today who
would follow him as blipdly as the
Chinese worship their gods of wood
and stone were he again TO come to the
fore as a figure in our national life. To
all these we call attention to a recent
statement made by this sturdy oak in
the scant forest of gold Democrats
Our nation must better its political life,
Unless that commercialism which Is ram
pant in American politics at this hour is
very soon checked and crushed under foot,
the future will wrap the coils of darkness
around our cherished life and we win settle
down to the same dwarfed standards
now common among the imperial nations OF
the past before absolute disintergation oc-
ours. What is urging ON the United st ates
at this moment to the possession OF new
lands is but the crashing spirit OF economic
plumber. the curse of every nation which has
gone down TO the ~yaUning gaps of oblivion"

for the sake OF our glorious republic OF
the past, and for the liberty and peace OF
the future, let US expand under a
righteous reign, with upright, honest
men at the helm Of the ship OF state to

through the devious ways OF foreign

tn 4 FARMER.

The heavy rains recently seem to
have been pretty general all over the
state, and there is much complaint
owe damage done 10 crops. OF all
people in the world who have troubles,
the farmer has the most, and no one
realizes this until he has grabbed a
pair Of pillow hardles in the early spring
time and worked from earliest morn
to dewey eve for two solid months,
planting a crop. He is well pleased
when the earth, which he has so
assid uously tickled with his farming
implements, laughs with the prospects
Of an abundan, harvest. de dreams OF
the mortgages that will be lifted aud
OF the improvements he will make on
his little home under the oak trees
out there in the co~untry-but here
comes the rain, or the army worms, or
the hail, o. some other DESTROYING
power, and before his eyes the air
castles fall away. If the season is not
too late he goes 10 work again, some-
what disheartened, but with grim
necessity impelliug him on, 10 repair
as far as possible the damage done
He gets another crop up to the hoe
ing stage when along comes other
rains and the products of his labor go
floating down the creek or are piled up
along the levee. Or maybe it is a
drouth which parches the growing
crops add burns out their substance.
If it isn't one thing it is another. And
then II by chance the elements and
plaques pass him by and he raises an
extra fine crop. there is a surplus sup
ply and he realizes less than the cost
Of production. Farming. like every
other business, is all very fine if one
has the capital to tide over the mis-
that fall across his path;
otherwise it is uphill business. We of
the own have a deep interest for the
success OF the farmer. for from him
comes the bread upon which we SUBJ
sist, and when the farmer fails we
go down with him. But the
excruciating disappointment Of seeing
the result Of his labors being destroyed
the elements while he sits by, help
and with folded hands, watching
he destruction, is his alone.
To the farmer who diversiies his
and devotes a portion OF his time
stock raising, these calan tiles do
rot come with the force that they do
o the exclusive cotton raiser. Rain
md wind and hail do not interfere
With meadows; through sunshine and
'torm, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry,
and horses go on increasing their
kind and yielding a in all
seasons of the year TO the wise farmer
Who looks to their care. There is
a market tor a good horse, "a
fne COW, q basket OF eggs. or a load OF
poultry. Above all, hogs are the
standby OF the farmer. Not the long,
lank razor back, but well bred hogs
viii take on flesh until they are
as broad as they are high. Such
find a ready market, summer
or winter, spring or fall, and their
price is not fixed by spectators,
The SENTINEL has preach
ed this idea OF stock raising year in
and year out, and it believes that it is
the salvation OF the farmers OF Mississ-
ippi. 1t trusts and hopes, for our
mutual good, that it will be more
extensively engaged in, and when it is
a~ggregating more than those of the
balance OF the population.

"The Smart Set" for September.

There ale forty-three signed contrib
utions bv well-knOwn writer's in the
|September number of the Smart Set
"the magazine of cleverness." The
story of the stage by John d. Barry,
entitled 1.-The Leading Woman" That
Mr.. Barry knows his people is evident
in every line, and he has caught the
true atmosphere of that strange world
known as ''behind the scenes" 1t is
not unlikely that some of his charac-
tiers will be recognized as well-known
figures of the metropolis.
"In LADY Mechante,'' the story of
a pretty burglar, the whimsical Gelett
Burgess is at his best. His narrative
is avowedly q farce, and is droll
throughout.
Gertrude Atherton contributes to
the number one of her startling short
stories, entitled 1.-The Greatest Good. :"
Mrs. William Allen, a conspicuous fl
gure in New ork 8 400, is the author
of 1.-The Love Letters of LIAR" a
story that will prove of sensational in
terest to society.
That the Smart Set is really "a
magazine of cleverness" cannot be
denied. With such list of brilliant
contributors it could not be otherwise.
1t is not too much to say that the
Smart Set is the most entertaining
magazine in the world.

BISHOP TURNER'S VIEWS.

Bishop H. M. Turner, of the African

that he will take the stump in favor OF

II am not a Democrat, never have
been one, and never expect to be, and
| have no intention of stumping the
country for Mr.. Bryan. dislike Mr..
Nick inley and the attitude which he
has assumed toward the negro, and 1
intend to vote for Mr.. Bryan, in the
belief that any change is better than
none. This is no change of heart
with me. For sixteen years l have
been cooling towards the Republican
party-ever since the decision of the
Supreme Court, which practically held
that a negro had no civil rights. From
that date to this the decisions of the
Supreme Court have been against the
negro. where question of his political
or ci 'i.sfights was involved. I have
heard of one instance where the Su-
preme Court held, In the case of me-
gro from Texas, that he was entitled
to trial by a jury of his peers; that is,
one composed, at least parity, of ne
grOes; but 1 have not verified this.
The Supreme Court has practically
decitizenized the negro and has nullified
the amendments to the Constitution.
[ don't know what Mr.. Bryan's views
are on these questions which affect the
negro race, but 1 believe that he is a |
man of sufficient honesty to use his in |
luence in behalf Of right and justice.
