THE DANGER OF EMPIRE.

The New Orleans Picayune, In tie
campaign OF 1896, was one Of the most
rabid nti-Bryan papers in the country
and did not a little TO cur the cleo
ton OF Mckinley. 1t sees now the dan
gel Gus paths it trod and would that 1t
could undo its work OF four yea RS ago.
1t is supporting Bryan now, as every
loyal Southern paper should do. Ten
years ago the man who would dare to
say that this country stood in danger
of being made an empire would be
laughed at for his vagaries. But in
this year OF our Lord the staii and
conservative Picayune says this, and
it is every word true:
"Should the Mckinley policy OF mill
tarism win in this campaign, it will
mean: Fare we'll to the Republic! Hal
to the Empire! The enormous con-
centration OF wealth in the hands OF a
small class, and the rallying OF that
class around President Mckinley TO Sc
cure his reelection and tho firm estab-
lishment Of a strong government In
their interest and for their protection,
is one of the most sinister and ominOus
events that could possibly threater
democratic liberty and free instftu'
tons"

There has been some talk oil a Hour
mill 10 Grenada. There is nothing in
the way OF mills and facotries that the
SENTINEL is not glad to encourage,
but to build a -four mill before there Is
any wheat to grind seems, at best, to
be a risky venture. There is no doubt
but what wheat can be raised success
fully and p~roftably In all parts Of Mis-
sissippi aud We ought to raise our
own bread. Let the farmers raise the
wheat and there will be mills in plenty,
While they are experimenting with
wheat growing the product can be solo
ON the market at good prices. VIZ
hope that before many years Grenade
county will raise all the wheat sh'
needs and that she will have a mill u
grind it.

1t is a fact worthy OF note that many
OF the large and influential newspapers
OF the East, which in 1896 deserted
Bryan are now among his staunchest
supports. In New York the World,
the Herald and the Post are fighting
antl-imperialism, the main issue. In
Chicago, where Bryan had no news
paper support before, there are now
four influential papers giving him the
benefit OF their political power and
prestige. 1t is the same in Baltimore,
Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville and
other large cities. the effect will be
wonderful, and If Bryan is elected he
can thank these newspapers for it more
than he can any other n thing save
that the American people wish to see
the republic Of their fathers endure.

THE NORTH MAKING A RECORD.

Henceforth and forever the North
must remain silent when enraged white
meu of the South hunt down negro
fieuds and swing them of into eterni-
ty from the limb Of the most con>
v~euient tree. Never has the South
been the scene OF such wanton destruc-
tion and disregard of human life or
property as was Witnessed on Thurs
day n Friday In Akron, Ohio, twenty
miles from President McKiniey's
home, and in the heart Of the strong
hold OF Repablicanism in Ohio. A me-
gro accused of assaulting a little girl
was arrested by the sheriff. Fearing
violence the accused was removed to
Cleveland. a mob OF l,500 men want
ed the negro and wanted him bad.
They would not believe that he had
been removed and proceeded TO blow
up the city hall and Jail with dynamite.
The property loss will amount TO a mill
lion dollars, while two innocent chill
dren we're killed and many persons
seriously injured. Civil law was
set in defiance and the militia was
called out to quell the disturbance.
Once more the conclusion is reached
that the passions OF men are the same
North and South, and the negro who
assaults a white woman will be lynched
with the same neatness and dispatch
In all sections OF the country. The
only difference is that there are fewer
negroes there and consequently fewer
of these crimes. The l~ynching oil u HUI
man being, white or black, is to be con-
demned and deplored at all times and
in all places, but when private and pub
lie property, as we'll as innocent human
lives, are wantonly destroyed without
cause or chance for gain. the crime be-
comes tenfold worse. No town in all
the South has n mark against her one
hundredth part AS black and dastardly
as has Akron, Ohio, and never will
have.

HOPE, THE

Monday was a day o. universal grief
in Grenada; one OF those times when
sorrow settles like a pail, checking
every careless word and causing every
heart to feel the awful presence Of
death. Two young lives, in the per-
sons Of Miss Ethel Fregoe and Paul
Garner, had been gathered
to the God who gave them.
10 the joy and happiness, the strength
and hope Of young manhood and young
~womanhood they felt the sweetness OF
life and little thought that they we're
soon 10 be but a sweet and tender men,
DRY in the pulsing life around them
Death, when 1t comes TO the old and
infirm as they look the coming guest
In the face and bid him gracious well
come-after a long and useful life,
their journey done, their duties ended,
is not SO bad, for it is but the COM
mon lot of man, who is born but TO die.
But when it comes quickly and with
but scant warning to the pure young
lives 10 which we see mirrored a future
OF usefulness and promise, it comes like
a storm blast which fells the oak-re-
morseless, ~unrelenting, cruel. "God
works in "a mysterious way his wonders
to PERFORM" and it is not for us to
question or condemn. Fate plays her
part and we stand helpless and inert as
the light of the human candles flicker
and go out. ''Iu life there is nothing
so uncertain as life itself" and such
times as these should make US all take
thought that no nan knows at what
hour hc too shall be called away, un-
warned and unannounced to the pres
ence of the great God who judges all.
The bright CLEAN OF the lamp of Hope
beckons US 80 the meeting OF those who
have gone before, and in that Hope
is the only antidote for the grief that
reuds the hearts of those who see their
loved oues consigned TO the grave
whose curtain never outward SWINGS

We reproduce in another place the
comments of the New Orleans Picayune
upon an article which appeared in a
recent issue OF the Grenada SENTINEL.
We commend the conservative state
ments of the article and the comments
on it. As the law now Is, some lawyers
take these railroad cases on this con-
tingent fee rule, or in other words, on
shares. The lawyer is then p partner

prejudice OF the jury against corpora
tions 10 general, and railroads in par
ticular, obtain IA large verdict, he is as
much benefited as his partner clients.
The suits are often based upon some
small damage or technical violation OF
the law, and could be reached by the
the criminal law of the State; but the
object is, ''bow much car / get through
prejudice against the railroad or cor
poration?" Railroads are necessary to
our high civilization, to haul our pros
duce to market, to haul our freight
and our people, and should be tried,
when sued, just like any other citizen
by the law aud the evidence. and not
by de~nunciations of counsel who usually
retain one-half Of the judgment. Such
proceedings tend to demoralize our
citizens, and TO debase the high pro-
fession Of the law Charleston Herald

about 35 dwellings were turned into
kindling wood. The loss of life is small
compared with miraculous escapes made.
The wind made a swath about 200 yards
wide through the middle of the town.
The Lavergne high school and the depot.
the two largest buildings were laid fiat
on the ground. The loss of these two
buildings is placed at $1,000. The rail-
road lost four section houses, each valued
at 5000. The victims Of the tornado are :
GEORGE ROBERTSON and his six
months old child
Mr.. Robertson's house, which was a
very strong log structure, was in the mid
die of the path of the storm and was laid
fiat on the ground. At the time Mr.. Rob-
ertson and his child had retired and his
wife was sitting near the bed sewing and
before the latter could even warn her
husband death had claimed them.
Mrs. Robertsons escape was marvel
Gus. When found the unfortunate man
was pinned across the back by a large
timber and a great scar was on the back
Of his neck. No mark could be discerned
ON the body of the child. Both are thought
to have met instant death.
In almost every home there were sew
eral injured, those most seriously being:
MRS. CHARLTON, collar bone broken.
MACK JORDAN'S six-year- old child !;
cannot recover.
ELMORE HOUSE, seriously injured
In Williamson county great damage
was done but the town Of Franklin es-
capped with comparatively small loss.
Houses and timber in Summer county
also suffered considerably, but first re-
Forts sent out from Gallatin were exag-
gerated.
Great suffering Is being experienced by
