THE ANNUAL FAIR IN OCTOBER.
The Public Must Do lis Part in Order
That the Exhibition Be a Success.

The people of Grenada county ought
to cooperate with the officers of the
Central Fair Association and make
the approaching exhibition the most
successful one ever held. Every bit
of the money taken in goes to pay off
the premiums and expenses Of the fair.
If there is any surplus, it is used in
paying off the Indebtedness. 1t is
the duty of every live, progressive
citizen to assist in making the Fair a
success. The officers cannot do it all.
They are not giving their time and
energy for anything except the public
welfare. They are not paid a cent for
their time. They propose to have a
first class exhibition this fall, If the
people will do their part. Without
the latter it cannot be done. There
is no doubt but that these displays
accomplish good. The people can see
what their neighbor is doing in the
way Of raising fine stock and farm
products and in that way be inspired
to follow his example and make inn
provement. By encouraging the rails
ing of fine stock a great good is done
the country, for a high class Of stock
is always Indicative Of progressive
farmers. But it is unnecessary to
refer to the advantages of having
these fairs. That fact is already rec
ognized. The thing necessary just
now is to arouse the people to a sense
of their duty and show them how i'm
portant is their assistance if a full
measure Of success is the result. In
brief, sit is up to the public" to say
great a success the approaching ex-
hibition is to be. Grenada people
must not let the enterprise be any
thing but a rousing success. vii
they do it?

THE man." well and truly says
the Newton Record, who hasn't the
courage of his convictions and only
gives his support to certain matters
and questions just because he wants
to be on the side with the majority is
not worthy of the respect of good peo-
pie, much less their support. There
are some candidates and newspaper
men who will talk and write in favor
of a certain movement whether they
think it right or not, just because
they think it will make them more
popular with the people. Such DEM
agogues and hypocrites are not worthy
of being called men. A man should
have the courage to be for the right,
whether he makes enemies or not.
What difference does it make if he
does have enemies, if his enemies are
in the wrong?"

METHODlSTS AND THE HOLINESS
QUESTION.

The Methodists Of Kentucky are
anticipating some interesting pro-
ceedings when their conference meets
next week at London, Ky. For ma
nv wears there has been quite a dis
cussion in this denomination over the
holiness or sanctification question.
The founder and chief expounder of
Methodism, John Wesley, was not SO
explicit in his handling of this doc
trinal point as to forestall a differ
ence Of opinion, and the result has
been two ideas in the church as to
the real teaching Of the denomina-
tion on this point. Some take the
position that genuine holiness, or en-
tire sanctitication, is the plain teach
ing of the Bible and should be upheld
and practiced by the members, while
others do not think the scriptures
convey the principles to the degree
which the others assert. The latter
take the conservative, while the for
mer take the extreme view Of the
meaning Of certain passages.
The element which accepts the
extreme view charges the Church
with having strayed from its print
tive teachings and is forgetting some
of its cardinal points. Prominent
among those who hold to this idea is
Rev. H. C. Morrison, Of Louisville, a
very able divine and a man Of wide
influence. He contends that the
Church has followed off after false
and strange gods and he thinks the
time has come for a separate and dis.
tinct organization. He has made
charges to this effect against the
Methodist Church, South, and has
iSued a call for a union of the Holt
ness forces. The object in view is tC
form a distinct church body. Rev.
| Morrison is editor of a religious paper
at Louisville and through that exer'
cises a wide influence. The cal
which he has issued has evidently
aroused things somewhat, as, accord,
ing to a special in Mondays CONNER
cial Appeal, the approaching confer
ence will in all probability seriously
consider some of these charges.
The public will await with interest
the result of these considerations, a,
the question it attaining more ant
more Importance. AS to whether thu
denomination is really forgetting it,
early doctrines, or on only adapting
itself to modern conditions. but with
out Surrendering any of its carolina
principles, is a question still open TO
discussion. 1t will be settled by tn,
church people themselves and will
take some time. The result of tn
movement in Kentucky may be n
more than the withdrawal from TIL
church of Rev. Morrison and a coteri
of supporters and friends. That will
not settle the question at issue. l
will be done inside the present bod
if it is adjudicated at all.

HON. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS GREAT
VICTORY.

The great victory of Hon. John
Sharp Williams for the congressional
nomination in the eighth district has
been the subject for discussion
throughout the state sor several days
past. 1t was a surprise even to the
most sanguine of Mr.. Williams
friends. He carried every county in
the district except Warren, the home
OF Mr.. Henry. The fact that Mr..
Williams was comparatively a stranger
in all the counties of the district ex-
cept his home county, Yazoo, makes
the victory all the more surprising.
OF course he was known in all OF
them, but not to the masses. He re-
ceived a large vote in Warren and de-
feated Mr.. Hooker in his own county
In short, it was a famous victory. A
greater one was never won in the
state of Mississippi. 1t was a veritablt
landslide and easily places the yict0l
to the forefront as a leading factor In
the politics of the state.
A number of the leading papers Of
the state have expressed the opinion
that the overwhelming victory Of Mr.
Williams makes him a strong factol
in the next senatorial race, and they
assume that he will enter that ace
Should he do so, he will be the fourth
entry and will be a foeman worthy o.
recognition. His high qualification.
as a statesman and a scholarly gentle
man, coupled with his weighty in

One of the most widely discussed
topics in the public press today is that
of child labor in factories. AS the
manufacturing interests of the South
increase this problem grows larger.
However, the evil is not prevalent to
the extent it is in the North, and is
confined mainly to the cotton fac
tories. A few Southern states have
laws against the employment of child
rem under a certain age, but all of
them should enact such laws. The
New England manufactures who have
moved South are mainly responsible
for the employment of children. The
place for children is in school and it is
to be hoped that the discussion of the
subject will be continued until every
state in the South shall have enacted
proper laws on the subject.
