hence a memorial has been addressed
to Congress requesting that the Sun

so that it can be bridgcd on a

GROWING GREENWOOD


What is all that rushing, rumbling
sound you hear over the western hills
yondcr? Al! 1t Is the rattle of street
cars, the din of factories, the hum of
hammer, anvil and saw of Greater Green
wood coming on cast of Valley Hill
towards Carrollton.
What means that mighty smoke, and
thatdcafening noise, you sec and hear
over the eastern hills? 1t is Greater
Winona pushing on westward to Carroll
ton.
What does all this mean?
1t only means that Winona and Green
wood will soon shake hands on the main
street of Carrollton, and that the
famous old city of noble men and noted
women will be no more, except rs con-
stitucnt suburban elements of the two
great cities now threatening her UNI

Aside from the natural agencies,

had buttons on them when he went

piled that if he was married he

If our esteemed brother of the quill
of the Greenwood Commonwealth, will
just II up to Winona and look at our
imposing temple of Justice, he will, all
the more complain at the eternal unfit
ness of things in Leforc county putting
up with Just a common brick courthouse,
to say the most of which is to admit
it looks only tolerably well and is mod
crately roomy, and slightly behind the
times IN ornamentation and modern
equipments. That is, it may not be
heated by a hot air system in cold
weather, may not be kept cool by cleo
trio fans in hot weather, and may not
have soda fountains and vaults for beer
on ice at hand. A courthouse short of
all these good nice things is unworthy
Of Lcflorc county and the city Of Green
wood. Hence we urge our brother to
come up, take a peep at M~ontgomery's
courthouse, and thereby be able to go
back and tell his people what they need.
OF course the public buildings always
indicate the public spirit of the people
who build them. They not only indi-
cate the taste and enterprise of their
sections, but prosperity as well.-Wino-

On the recommendation Of Judge Advo-

approved the action Of the general court
martial in the cases Of Second Leuts. B. s.
Berry and Emile P. Moses of the Marine
Corps. These officers, who are attached to
the marine barracks at Annapolis, were
convicted of the charge of intoxtcation and
were each sentenced to lose four numbers
in lineal rank and to be publicly repri-
manded by the Secretary of the Navy.
I'm administering the reprimand imposed
as a part of the sentence In each of these
cases., said Secretary Morton, cit fs deem
ed sufficient to say that an officer whose
use of Intoxicating liquors becomes so ex-
tried and convicted of drunkenness, has
been guilty of misconduct tefiding to de-
stroy his reputation as an officer and a
gentleman, and he should pc deeply morti-
fed by the publication efEa order announc-
ing to the service the fact OF his trial ana
conviction by general court martial OF such
an offense.
THE publication to the service by general
court-martial order of the finding and SEN
tence of the court and the foregoing re-
marks embraced therein will be regarded
as compliance with so much of the SEN
tence in each case as provides that Second
Lieuts. E. P. MosesOand B. 8. Berry, U. $.
M. c., shall be publicly reprimanded by
the Secretary of the Navy. Lieutenants
Moses and Berry will be released from ar
rest and restored to duty"
