officials. They know how
things were managed before
1895, and they know what a
wholesome change was brought
about by the fair election law
passed by the Republicans in
1896. They have had Il taste of
the kind of things that happens
when the purpose of good cleo
ton law is only partially defe-
ated by partisan legislation, and
they don't relish the idea of hav-
ing the very bottom taken out
of the safeguards of honest cleo
lions by measures like the Poe
DISTINGUISHING Amendment.

"RiGHT LIEING RASC9LS"

President PATTON, Of Primo
ton Theological! Seminary re
Gently gave expression of some
vigorous views upon Fright liv-
ing rascals> a summary of which
appeared in the columns OF the
WING. On the same line were
the remarks of Rev. DR.. Joseph
W. Cochran Of Northminster
Presbyterian Church, Philadel-
phia, on last Sunday evening in
the course of which he said.
Zone of the alarming pheno.
mena of American life is the
devotion to forms of godlines on
the part Of men who have become
moral bankrupts. Men who en-
gage in gigantic conspiracies to
rob the public imagine that as
long as their skirts are clean in
their private life they can retain
the respect Of Christian people.
Not only 50, but by reason Of
their wealth they become eligible
to office in the church. They
may have acted the part of a
hyena on leech in the financial
world the day before, while on
Sundays they sit with bland
countenances in their pews, en-
tering with child like devotion
into the worship of God There
is nothing to be desired of them
as fathers or as neighbors.
"How is it then that between
Monday morning and Saturday
night they are the highwaymen
of civilization? The situation
when carefully considered has
startling aspects. So it is that
ministers are c,ntending that
because these right-living ras-
Gals are blameless i'll home life,
because they have not been
legally convicted, because they
are nice, benevolent gentlemen,
they should not be attacked.
The time has come when right
living rascals should be made so
uncomfortable by the fearless
utterances of the pulpit that
they should be led either to
abandon their practices or to re-
lieve the church of the infamy
of their presence.
1T is a sad day for the church
when she turns from her doors
thieves in rags and welcomes
with open arms thieves in fine
linen. 1t is her Indictment that
by her nervous attitude toward
righteousness she fails to make
sleek sinners uncomfortable in
their church relations. If in
municipal politics such tremen-
dous upheavals can transpire as
that for which we are now
thanking God, surely in some
of our aristocratic sanctuaries
there should be enough of the
Divine grace Of righteous wrath
to empty pews of an element
more dangerous to society than
the anarchist, the pauper or the
petty CRATER.
1t is not from city pulpits
only that such utterances as the
above are timely. If the sway
of Materialism, ever growing in
these latter days, is to be
checked, it can be best resisted
by plain, everyday Christians
setting their faces resolutely
against it's recognition. 1t is
hopefuls sign that such preachers
as DR.. Patton and DR.. Cochran,
and their like, have the courage
to talk as they think.

Work of Church Choir.

During the weeks dedication services
just closed at the Calvary M E. Church.
Mt. Pleasant. the special feature Of each
meeting, along with such events as the
addresses by Bishop Cranston and Auditor
w. E. Andrews, and the raising of $4,000
to clear the church debt, was the singing
OF the church choir, reinforced by few
voices from other choirs of the city.
The work of this choir is especially note
worthy from the fact that It Is in its
first year as an organization, and its great
measure of success is due to the efforts
OF it's director, Miss Anna x. Hancock. who
is well known in musical circles here. IT
is regarded as doubtful il any church choir
in the city can show greater results, es-
pecially when 1t Is remembered that the
work has been done under the additional
disadvantages incident to the organization
and building OF q new church.

FAVOR THE PROJECT.
Numerous Letters Indorsing Movement
for Rio puh1ic Hall

The general public interest in the PROPOSE
ton to erect large auditorium in Wash
ington is evidenced in the numerous letters
favoring the project which are daily re-
ceived by Commissioner West from citizens
Of Washington. Mr. West is also receiving
suggestions relative to schemes for financ-
ing the project.
The date for the next meeting of the joint
committees appointed by the Board of Trade,
the inaugural committee and the Business
Mems Association has not been fixed as
yet, but 1t will probably be held within a
few days. after Commissioner West has
collected data concerning auditoriums in
other cities of the country.

Alfalfa Beats King Cotton.

We have been handed a speci-
men of alfalfa recently cut on
Major Simpsons farm, three
miles south of Grenada, which
measures 15a inches high and
would certainly be ready for
moving by April /. Now that
our people are discussing diver
sified farming and reduction of
cotton acreage, it would be a
fortunate thing for them if they
were to turn their attention to
the growing of alfalfa and sim
liar crops. An acre Of land rea-
sonably well fortified, will yield
from one to two tons of alfalfa
which is worth from $40 to $18
per ton. It can be mown fully
three times a year, frequently
four times, and it takes but few
figures to show what splendid
returns, in dollars and cents
this would be to the farmer.
Cotton at 10 cents per pound
doesn't compare with it, besides
the alfalfa takes SO much less
time and labor.
California farmers have grown
rich on it and we are told that
the alluvial soil Of Mississippi
yield just as fine specimens as
any grown in California. We
hope our people will give such
things more attention andif they
will, they will solve the perplex-
ing cotton situation by individ-
ual sffort. Grenada Sentinel.

Jury Drank % "ENidence"

A jury in Justice McC allum's
court in Evanston. Indiana, drank
up all the evidence in the case
of John Garner, who was being
prosecuted for selling liquor on
Sunday in that classic town.
Ezra Cook told the jurors he
had purchased liquor from Gar
ner, and exhibited a well corke
bottle of brandy to prove it.
The jury heard all the t,stimo-
ny and was about to file out %
deliberate its verdict, when one
of the members had an aft r
thought--or a forethought.
I'VE have no evidence that the
bottle contains brandy, 20; r
honor" said this juror. We
are called upon to determine that
the liquor is intoxicating, and
perhaps it would be wise to let
us examine the evidence
The jury came out with the
bottle empty.
There was not enough evil
dence to go around,' said the
man who had taken tin. There
fore it was not possible to salts
factorily determine of its intox-
icating qualities. We find the
prisoner not guilty.
Cook, who is a Sunday school
teacher and has been fighting
the saloons for many years, was
dumfounded, He searched his
pockets, but admitted that he
could produce no more evidence.
Justice McCallum then ordered
the verdict entered, and Cook
took the empty bottle and went
home. Liberty Mo. Advance.

The Crop Outlook.

The few days of dry weather
of the past week was cut short
by a cold heavy rain on Monday
morning which put an end to the
farm work which was begun a
few days before Throughout al
most the entire cotton belt. The
rain of Monday adds another
week Of delay to farm operations
and only can the future deter
mine what other delays may fol-
low. The farmers are at least
one month behind the prepare
tons made last season and with
the best of weather and efforts
possible the crop will be planted
late. What effect this will have
upon the result will depend large
~ upon the favorableness or I'M
favorableness of the season. In
this immediate sections several
days of blowing was done last
week and in some instances a
little corn was planted. No
where, however, have we heard
of any cotton being planted, al
though the time has arrived
when planting begins in earnest.
The prospects now for the reduc-
ton of the cotton acreage is bet
ter than it has ever been, as the
lateness of the season makes it
impossible for the same acreage
of last year to be planted. We
have heard many farmers say
that their crops would be more
generally divided among the
food products than ever before.
