M. e. Church yesterday was sue

at the services which were held in
the morning, afternoon and last even

church was crowded. Railroad men
and their families formed big por-

Rev. Asbury Burke, the pastor.
John r. Clark, N. Y. P. N.
railroad engineer, whose home is in
Delmar, officiated at each of the three
services, and the fact that one of their
number was to address them was part

Mr.. Clark is a fluent speaker and his
remarks were listened to with marked
attention by his hearers. He spoke
of the perils to which the railroad
men are subjected and of the great
Importance of leading Christian lives.
He made a stirring appeal to those
who were not Christians to accept the
Gospel. His remarks were emphasize

night was of very enthusiastic
nature, and it was much later than
usual when the service came to a
close. After remarks by Mr.. Clark
there was song service, and toward

WORLDS FAIR VISITORS.

Ominous reports are coming to hand
from st. Louis to the effect that the
visitors, so far attending the great
Louisiana Purchase Exposition have
been to put it plainly, more or less
fieeced by their entertainers. The
Hotel keepers of course are independ-
ent of any control in the conduct of
their business, and the managers of the
Exposition can exercise no authority
over them on the charges they are
pleased to impose. But it was fairly
presumable from the announcement
made by the Exposition people that
some understanding had at least been
arrived at by which assurance could
be given that hotel charges would be
moderate and reasonable. 1t is now
declared by'St. Louis correspondents
that these charges are neither moder-
ate or reasonable, but ON the contrary
are extortionate beyond all precedent.
If these accounts of inflated high
prices are substantiated 1t will be very
unfortunate for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. Americans are generous
and even extrayagant but they will
not as general rule go where they
are likely to be imposed upon.
1t is to be taken in account that the
costs of living are high this year and
visitors to st. Lonis will expect to be
charged more than they were charged
for example in Chicago in 1893.
Since the Chicago exposition these
costs have advanced possibly 10 per
cent and corresponding advance in
hotel rates at st. Louis, would in all
probability meet with no serious OBJ
jectieAs 1t appears however that the
boMiface fraternity of the Mound City
has determined to exploit the oppor-
tunity for making barrel of money
during the Exposition. 1t will be
found that very grave mistake has
been made The people of our entire
country are sincerely interested in
promoting the success of the Exposi-
sion to the fullest extent, but If they
are to be met at st. Louis by what
amounts TO a hostile demand on their
purses thousands upon thousands, who
have planned a visit to the fair will
stay away.

THE AMERICAN B0Y-nOW HE
LEAVES OTHERS BEHIND IN

President Rocsevelt's statement,
that conservatism is the one and main
lacking quality in our young men OF
today, is being widely commented up
on and emphatically denied by our
College professors and clergyman.
Every loving mother and doting faith
or has read this statement akin to re-
sentiment. Are our boys of today of
the bold, pushing forward type, which
our English cousins are won't to be-
lieve of the Yankee youth? British
ers, both at home and in the Colonial
possessions believe the American youth
is sort of dare devil "don't care''
scheming aud money making collec-
tion of anatomy. While President
Roos sveltholds the sceptre of the reign
ing mind, .and undoubtedly is in po-
sition to correctly and systematically
appreciate the success and fortunes
of our young men. he is not direct
ly in touch with the seven or more
million inhabitants of the United
States between the ages of II and 2S
who will in few years be the faith
ers of the next generation. Our aver
age youth is a model conservative, but
at the same time dashing and brilliant,
God bless him. Our boys stand Sec
ond to none in the daily race for an
existence and leads by several cents
per capital those of the thrifty Dutch,
the hard working Germans and the
sturdy sons of King Edward Pitt Side
by side with any other nationality
statistics bear out the fact that they
leave others far behind in life's race.
Whether as laborer, mechanic,
merchant or in the professional line,
true manliness and accessive independ-
ence are two of the fastest and surest
breeders of success. The few Ameri.
cans who are partakers of the excel
lent preparatory courses at Belfast
Harrow Brussels OF South Jougk, in
the southern part of France are de.
cisively demonstrating that America IS
pride in her growing youth is justly
the basic principal upon which the
successful future OF our country de-
pends. You all know him, the jovial,
mischievous, bright eyed youngster,
who even in his most pranking hours
gladdens the mothers heart and lessons
the effects of the days toll upon the
father. Not home. should be with
out him. Here is to our American
Boy, and may he always be with MS.
Britishers have we and Germans a
plenty, but the best of them all is
the Yankee youngster.

ADisgraCefuI Affair.

One of the most disgraceful affairs
that has taken place in Delmar for
some time pat occurred last Saturday
night. The participants in this
affair were several young men from
Salisbury, ably assisted by some from
Delmar The Salisbury boys came
up ON train No. 80, arriving here at
10 p. m. with the intention of having
good time drinking brandy, pur-
chased from nearby distillery. They
loaded up in wagon and drove out
into the country where it is said that
all the brandy that was for sale was
purchased. They returned to town
and by the time they arrived here
things were beginning to look double
to them. From that time until the
South bound passenger train at $50 a.
m. they had big time, at least it
seemed so to them. Several pistol
shots We're fired, and they had lots of
amusement all to themselves, making
things miserable for all who were un-
fortunate enough to be in the locality
of the depot.
That young men will engage in
anything so degrading is disgrace to
mankind, and there should be law
to prevent such affairs. 1t also APP
pears to us that if we are to have no
saloon We sliould also not tolerate surli
an affair Us that Of SATURDAY night.

IMPORTANT MATTER.
Names OF Democratic Electors Should be
Carefully Studied.

A matter Of vital Importance to the
Democratic voters of Mississippi, and
one that has not been given the pub
licity it demands, is the names of the
electors who will cast the vote of the
state in the electoral college for
president and vice-preSident of the
United States. Ballots are cast, not
for the heads of the ticket, as some
believe, but for the presidential cleo
tors of the party they represent.
On the ticket to be used in the
November election will probably az
pear, in addition to the names of the
ten Democratic electors, also the
electors of the Republican, Populist,
Socialist and Prohibition parties,
making a formidable total of fifty,
should each party be represented
From this large list the voter must
| select electors representing the par
ty for whom he wishes to cast his
ballot, and this can be done only by
| close study and easy familiarity with
the names. We doubt seriously il
| there are more than a dozen men in
Grenada. or any other county for that
matter, who could name the Demo.
cratic electors.
The press Of the state have been
derelict in their duty in this import,
ant matter. We notice that not one
half of the exchanges received at this
| office publish the names of the Demo.
cratic presidential electors in
their columns. This should not be.
IT'S a duty the press owe to their
party, and unless these names are
given the greatest publicity through
the medium of the various county
journals, how al the voters be ex-
pected to cast their ballots intelli-
gently.
1t is also the duty Of each and every
Democratic voter Of the state tC
study closely and carefully the names
of the representatives of his party, sc
that he may make no mistake when
the time arrives to cast his ballot,
DO not neglect this matter. Bear in
mind that you vote for the electors,
not for Parker and Davis.
The full Democratic ticket will be
found in THE SENTINEL, on the edi.
torial page. Cut it out, paste in your
hat, and commit it to memory.
