FoRDYKE, MIss.-Dear Editor: If
didn't know the mouth of March to be
about as coquettish as girl of sixteen,
and as capricious as a boy of ten, I'd

trees are in bloom aud the voice of the
dove is heard in the distance, bot ere the
days of the month are numbered, ex-
pect TO hear the wind howl and moan,
and the cold rain dance Oh the window
pane. The buds on the grand old fruit
trees are swelling and time is drifting on
light swift wings, aud soon the land Of
Fordyke will be as pretty as sparkling
waves on a sunny day, and every leaf of
her flowers will have a soul.
Fordykites are busy as the little bee
Corn and cotton stalks all cut up aud
cut down; fences slaughtered aud new
rails added where they were needed;
every mule is side-lined with a bran new

pass words that greet our ears Corn is
being planted in hustle. Everything
and everybody is in great hurry. No
oilers in the broad fields of Fordyke.
Sweet potatoes are bedded out and
Irish potatoes are planted, and the
gardens too.
Little chickens cry for bread in the
back yards and turkeys are finding nests.

Ample illustration Of this tendency was
manifested few weeks ago when the
Committee on Humane lntitutions made
q report to the State Legislature, charg'
ing the former Trustees Of the Mississippi
Hospital for the Insane with having
abused the privileges Of their official po-
sitious In the purchase Of certain lands.
II was specifically alleged that the pur-
chase had been made expressly for the
benefit Of Edgar s. Wilson that the price
paid for the land was exhorbilant; that
Il was not needed by the institution and
that the Trustees bad no legal right to
make the purchase.
THE SENTiNEL refused to comment
on the report at the time, believing that |
the Trustees would have something to
say In refutation of the sensational
charges made by the committee Aud
the rejoinder Of these gentlemen more
than meets the expectations of their
friends.
II Is shown conclusively that they
were given no opportunity to appear
before the committee; that Wilson pur-
chased his property from private indiv-
iduals more than two months prior to
the purchase made by the Trustees, and
that be had no connection whatever
with the transaction. The authority of
the Board TO make the purchase is es-
lablished beyond conformation, aud the
need Of the land by the institution is
amply established, while the piice paid

Roosevelt is going to be the Republi.

Under the above caption. Mr. Aaron

Meridian Evening Star, has peDned the
following beautiful lines, the logic Of
which should impress itself indelibly
upon the minds Of those who are some.
times careless with their tongues. Every
line Of Il IL true. A better sermon has
never been preached from any pulpit:
"A woman's reputation is above all

great riches, II is the one thing to
which she holds At the sacrifice Of every
thing else.
yet another woman may rob her Of
! that priceless treasure without being
benefited In the least II may be done
with an idle word by one who would not
steal gold aud silver hut how much
lighter would be the crime If II was only
the stealing Of money.
before you speak evil Of another,
think how much your good name is
worth to you and how awful would be
the result II some wicked tongue would
blast il forever Think Of the hopeless
condition Of the woman whose reputation
has been Glched. II IL az an outcast she
must 20 through the world. though she
may be sinless. II Is AS wretch from |

from which she can not turn, for no where
In all the wide world is there welcome

which thousands are plunged to eternal
ruin II is such desolalion and death as
this that is sometimes. wrought by an
idle word for which those who utter IL
receive no benefit. II is part Of the
weak ness Of human nature that causes
some women to speak evil Of each other
--or thing IN the shape OF man to
speak evil Of woman. But II il weak
ness that is far worse than that of the
thief or the murderer, for 1t brings more

IF God

'tarve, or let out her hearts warm blood
and let her die, but spare her the weary
years OF agony and despair that an evil
word may bring.

placed IN the attitude Of opposition to
the will Of the States lawmakers. lie

the negro, and his reasons for this POI

same language which he expressed So
often during the campaign.

people of Mississippi, who have learned
IN the school of experience that the edu.

race.
Mississippi has expended more money
In the education of the negro than any
other State, aud no man:would be more
willing to sanction an appropriation for
the right sort of negro education than
would Governor Vardamau. Industrial
training, similar to that embraced In the
lege, tends to elevate the negro, in that
il makes Of him more useful citizen,
while higher learning units him for the
tasks that are his by right of inheritance.
