THE MEMPHIS & MOBILE RAILROAD.
Let Grenada Citizens Awake to the
importance Of this Road.

The time has arrived in the history
of Grenada when it will require the
combined efforts of every citizen
within its borders to do adj that he
can toward promoting and assisting
in the building Of the Memphis s. Mo-
bile r. r. We want no laggards in
u ranks. II we want to make our
property double its value, put a new
impetus and life into u city, the
time is at hand. Capt. H. p. Farrar
and a full corps Of civil engineers are
now in the field surveying three
routes to our town. 1t is the inten-
tion of the Railroad Company to push
this survey to Tomnolan, which will
require about thirty days.
AS Grenada will be the terminal
point for the present, it is highly
probable that we can get the shops
located here if we will only use the
proper effort. We can never hope to
do anything as long as the high rates
on coal exist in our midst. We must
have cheap fuel in order to bring fac
tories to our town. AS soon as it is
an established fact that we can name
as cheap a rate out of Grenada to
seaboard points; as soon as we have
as cheap fuel as any other interior
town, we are guaranteed one Of the
largest cotton factories in the South.
Several wood working plants are writ
ing here, with a view to locating in
our midst, when this Railroad is
built. One of our leading citizens is
in correspondence with a packing con-
Germ, with a view of concentrating
their cattle here, and killing at this
point for foreign shipment. This is
no idle dream. The building Of this
road, giving us an outlet to three
other ports, is in the natural course
of events sure to put our town IN a
stronger footing than any in the
State.
Let us awaken to the advantages
we would derive from the building OF
this road, and do all that we can tC
have it located here. Some of oul
friends fold their hands in compla'
cency and say, "Oh, it is coming here
We need not do anything" There is
one absolutely certain point; i. e., the
road is going to be built from Hatties
burg north. Whether it comes here
or not depends upon the citizens o.
Grenada,
There will also soon be a meeting
in regard to the building of the roaC
from Nettleton to Grenada, connect
ing with the Frisco System. Thi
will be decided some time in Februa
ry. Now, let us lend all the encour
agement we can to any enterpris
that wishes to come to our city. LIE
us all unite in one thought that
Where there is a will, there is
way" and Grenada must go to tn
front.

The petition of the murderer, viii
Mathis, to the Judge sentencing him,
that he not be hung on the same day
as his negro associate in the crime is
not without a streak Of humor. OF
curse the Judge will pay no attention
to the petition, because if Mathis was
willing to associate himself with the
negro in committing the crime there
is nc reason in making a racial dis
tinction in the hanging. Mathis is
evidently playing for notoriety.

ARSENIC IN THE WINE.
Startling Developments Regarding
Death of Talbert Gabrin.

dispatch from Denver, Col, says: Star
tling developments have come 10 light re-
garding the death of Representative Talbert
Gabrin, which occurred here on January 8,
from what was then supposed to be acute
gastritis, superinduced by fermented wine
used In making a mixed drink, which he
and other members of his family consumed
at family reunion on New Year day. A
chemical analysis of the stomach and
other intestinal organs was made. which
showed there were three and one-half
grains OF arsenic to a tumblerful of wine.
Such an amount could never be ascribed to
any accidental impurity in the wine, says
the chemists report.
The death Of Mr.. Gabrin is to be invest,-
gated by the Woodmen of which society he
was member. He carried a large life
insurance policy, the payment OF which
has been stopped pending the result of
the investigation.

ceased, and his father. Herman Gabrin.

TRUSTED CLERK DISAPPEARS.
At Same Time 100 Shares of Stock Are

appearance from their office of 100 shares
Of Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul stock.
said to be worth $1,000. The firm also
asked that the non-appearance of their con-

looked into.
Mr.. Hedges entered the firms employ
about a year ago. He went out at his
usual time for luncheon today, and a min
ute later member Of the firm had oc-
casion to ask for the hundred shares of
stock. which had been brought in but a
little while before from A. S. Leyland &
Co. The cashier happened to be out when
the stock was received, and it did not pass
through his department. When inquiry
was made for 1t no trace Of the shares
was to be had, and Hedges did not come
back from lunch.
Inquiry was made at both the stock and
consolidated exchanges and from the lat
just been handled there and sold to Zim-
norman & Forshay, bankers. That house
was notified, and further sale Of the stock
stopped until the mystery could be explain
ed. The stock had not been purchased out
right, but had been taken as collateral for
a loan of 5000 and no greater SUM was
involved, as far as loss to Ames, Swan

work on the books Of the firm and worked
through the night to see If any other losses
could be traced. Up to a late hour no ad-
ditional ones were found.

IMPORTING CUBAN SUGAR.
Mr.. de Abad Claims That It Will Not
Lower the Price

Mr. L. V. de Abad of the Cuban delega-
tion submitted memorandum to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
today in regard to the Cuban economic sit
uation in which he says:
Republicans who oppose the concessions
to Cuba allege in support of their position
that the platform Of their party in 1896
promised protection to the domestic sugar
Industries. and that any concession what
ever to Cuba is an infringement of the
privileges thus guaranteed. The first half
of the proposition is. of course. true. but
the latter part will be shown to be utterly
untenable-
In the hearings of the WAYS and means
committee. and in official documents, it
has been sufficiently demonstrate I'd that the
United States has in :he past been obliged
to resort to foreign nations in order to cb-
tain the larger part of the sugar it's peO-
pie consume; that Cuo!, even when her
production and her population reached the
highest point. was very far from being
able to supply the demand of the Ameri-
can market, and that, therefore, the price
IN this country has been regulated by the
price in Hamburg. plus transportation, Gu-
ties and other charges.
Moreover. the Unital States finds 1t
necessary to buy sugar from foreign coun-
tries in larger amounts each year
These facts furnish Etestable proof
that for many years 20 come the price of
sugar In the United States must in che
dience to economic Jaws, be regulated by
the price in Europe, plus TRANSPORTATION,
duties etc. and, therefore. the importa-
tions from Cuba cannot depress it, Tariff
reductions made in favor of Cuba carnot
harm the domestic industry. Protected
by the duties which the sugar of Euro pean
countries and their dependencies must pay.
the development Of the domestic industry
may go forward unchac1ed"
The obligation of the republican PARTY
TO AFFORD by its policy reasonable protec-
tton to the sugar producers of the United
states Is, 1t Is claimed. not at all in con-
Met with another obligation resting upon
both parties equally-the obligation TO put
an end to the impolicy of denying TO the
Cuoans the right to live in moderate pros
perity- Mr.. de Abad continues:
"A promise contained in the platform
dated at Philadelphia. June o 1860. is
surely not less binding tnan is an assur-
ance contained in the platform dated at
st. Louis, June IS. 1880. But the PhiladeI-
phia platform in its final impressive
words. makes claim upon the republican n
conscience OF no uncertain meaning: "ro
CUBA independence and self-;;overnment
were assured in the same voice by which
war was declared. and to the letter this
pledge shall be performed
