a Wall FROM GRENADA.


Here comes a wall from Grenada
in regard to the numerous blind
tigers in that little city, and what is
stated in the paragraph below will
come darn near fitting some other
towns and cities. The blind tiger
dealer will commence business away
back in some house in a part OF the
city where people venture even in
daytime with trembling and fear.
But it soon becomes a little holder
and still bolder until one of the JOINTS
or perhaps a half dozen are open in
the heart of the business portion of
the town. If one is broken up all
must be broken up-and there is a
municipal election IN nearly every
town in the state next December.
But the Grenadian, published in
Grenada, tells all about it In that
city, and if what it states does not fit
some other towns it most
"Soon after Grenada county voted
for local option in August, 1895, by
an overwhelming majority, a few
blind tigers appeared in Grenada.
They were sly and sneaklng in their
methods and had some fear of the
law. But Immunity from punish
ment encouraged them in their bold
ness until within the past year or
two the tribe has become numerous
and abominable. In truth some OF
them have ceased to be blind. They
are almost as wide open as regular
licenced saloon. They have become
so brazen in their bOldness that it is
disgusting even to many of the stron-
gest liquor men. The dens are run
by white men as we'll as negroes
The matter of secrecy is seemingly
disregarded by some of the operators

THE NOMINEES AHEAD.

Our Jackson correspondent fore
casts the result of the primary nomi-
nation that will take place in this
state within the next few weeks and
it will be noticed that he includes
Capt. Hardy in the list. These
straws show which way the wind
blows. The capital is headquarters
for all the political news of the state
and the information sent out from
there is generally fuller and consid-
cred more reliable than that which
is picked up over the state in vari-
GUS sections. That Cap. Hardy will
receive the nomination In this dis
trict there does not seem to be much
doubt, for of all others he is the man
who should be sent to congress. The
entire state is interested in bis
election, for the entire state is inter
ested in deep water harbor on the
gulf coast.

THIS PICTURE AND THAT.

We have beautiful picture over
in Manila. And we will soon have
another beautiful one over in Cuba.
Cuba is now standing perfectly still
waiting for the camera to strap
when there is going to be an outbreak
on the island and Uncle Sam will
have to send few warships over
there to quiet things.
The beautiful picture over in
Manila can be better explained by
exhibiting it. Here is the first one
which the artist produced four years
ago.
Manila, Aug, 13.-The fourth an
niversary of the capture of the city
of Manila, which was surrendered
to the American forces on August ID,
1898, was observed as a general holt
day.
Now here is the second one which
the artist produced yesterday and
handed to the war department..
Washington, Aug. lS.-The wal
department is advised by cable from
General Chaffee that on August II
at midnight ten or twelve Moros
attacked an outpost of Company G.
Twenty-seventh infantry, at Camp
Wears, killing Henry @. CARR and
James Foley and wonnding two other
enlisted men.
Take them and compare them, and
see where Uncle Sam is at. And

It is now pretty well settled that
congress will hold an extra session
this fall to consider the Cuban reci-
procity. The best thing that this
country can do is to take Cuba up in
its arms and do the nurse act for a
time. Cuba will always be carbun-
Gle on the back of this country unless
the American flag Is planted on the
island.
