throughout America to the able and

Simpson County Apiary.

1t is not generally known beyond
the confines of Simpson county that
there is near Westville an apiary of
over one hundred frame hives of hon
ey-Italian, Hybrids and German
brown bees. This industry began its
career in 1895, starting from or 10
old fashioned "box' gums of bees.
The success of this enterprise in
harvesting such nice sealed, clean hon
ey in pound blocks, and in greater
quantity to the colony of bees than
in the old way, has stimulated people
all over Simpson county to adopt the
same system of keeping their bees and
not few have increased their stocks
to large proportions, and with greater
interest in their honey gatherers.
The apiary referred to is owned and
managed by Rev. r. A. Whitfield, who
is 81 years of age and is a re-
tired school teacher, has been forced
by increasing demands to erect ma
chinery, run by horse power to cut u p
hive lumber for hives and filings for
home use and to sell. This factory
within itself is a novelty. The ma
chinery runs very light, is economical
and very efficient. The whole ar
rangement is unique and original, and
quite curiosity. The horse is hitched
to a lever which turns a - foot
wheel that runs nearly on level with
the ground This large wheel carries
a rope as a belt which runs the shaft
ing, etc, in the shop. The saws used
are s inches in diameter. The entire
arrangement, excepting the irons and
rope used, was originated and built by
Mr.. Whitfield, who thinks there is not
such another arrangement like his in
the State for cheapness, lightness and
efficiency and in this opinion we must
join.
AS our State exchanges are clamor-
ing for more industrial enterprises
among us, to keep step with the
march of improvement and progress.
Mr.. Whitfield claims that he has built
the first Mississippi Bee Hive Factory
and if he lives a few years more and
keeps his health and strength, this
enterprise will grow as other such in
other states have done, to be con
siderable affair. A steam engine and
new and improved machinery will be
installed. Keep your eye on the

ROOM At HOME FOR MISSION
AIRY WORK,

1t is sid that in 81 states today a
married mother has no right to her
own children. In IL states wife has
no right to her own earnings outside
the home. In eight states a wife has
no right TO her own property after
marriage. In seven states there is no
law compelling man to support his
wife and family.
II it be true that nation is judged
by the position its women occupy, and
that religion does more to elevate the
sex than anything else, it would seem
from the above facts that we might
gain in the opinion Of ourselves even
by an abolition of the laws referred to;
and that missionary might yet find
work to do in christian America.
The fact is that religion and politics
haven't mixed much in the minds and
hearts of our law makers. The time
will come when the highest type of cit
izenship will be in the majority in our
House of Parliament"

THE RACE FOR L. S. SENATOR.
In view of the statement that has
been made in certain newspapers, that
Hon. John S. Williams "has at last
consented to enter the race for the
Senate" Sentinel man, meeting him
Yesterday, asked him the direct ques-
ton whether or not he would be can
didate for the Senate. Mr.. Williams
replied that he had never authorized
the use of his name in that connection;
that it is entirely too soon to consider
the matter one way or the other at this
time, and that events alone would de-
termine the question when the proper
time comes. Knowing the very cor
dial personal and political relations
existing between Senator Money and
Mr.. Williams, the Sentinel does not
hesitate to express the opinion that it
is altogether improbable, If not impos-
sible, for Mr.. Williams to make the
race against Senator Money. He is
not the kind of man to crawl into
office over the backs of his friends
