Mr., W. II. Stevens, to be present

ma, will deliver the address of the
day. A large crowd will be present
on this occasion, and We regret that
the date was fixed so early that it
will be impossible to arrange for a
big barbecue as had been contem-
plated. The program will be one of
interest TO all Of our people and all
who can should be present on the

Greenwood should do likewise. If

AN UNwIsE DECISION.

The refusal Of the trustees Of the
University Of Mississippi to accept
the profered donation of $4,000
from Andrew Carnegie 10 establish a
frst-class library for that institution
was an unwise decision, and The
Commonwealth is glad to know that
Hon. Il. d. Stone Of this city and
three other trustees we're in favor OF
and voted to accept the donation.
Rich men are making similar dona-
tons all over the country, and it is
right and proper that they should
use their money in this manner.
While Mississippi is able TO pay for
putting in libraries for her colleges,
there is no SANE reason for the ac-
tlon Of the trustees in refusing 10
accept that which all States and
communities are only too glad TO
get. The truth about the matter is
is that the millionaires should be
encouraged rather than discouraged
in giving a portion Of their money
to such worthy causes. The board
OF trustees should reconsider its I'M
wise decision by accepting the $25-
600 and thanking Mr.. Carnegie for
his liberallty to our University.

THE YAZOO DELTA.

Gus wealth, developed and undevel
oped, Of that much-favored country
On every hand there are seen evi.
dences Of meterial activity. The
sawmills are removing the timber
from the forests and assisting in
clearing up the land. New and
substantial buildings of every char
acter are going up throughout this
section. Where there was nothing
but a wilderness a few years ago is
now dotted with prosperous towns
that can almost be seen growing,
and the vast sweeps Of land are be-
ing rescued and put into cultivation.
There is no more "deadening' Of
timber and the day for this mon
strous waste has gone by, All the
timber now is accessible, since the
railroads have gridironed the coun-
try. Almost any character of enter
prise is possible and profitable. The
clay is excellent for the purpose of
making brick and large brickyards
are being conducted here and there.
Some of these bricks are shipped as
far as Chicago and New York, where
they find a ready sale. The tile
making industry is only in its in
fancy, but it is a strong and lusty
infant, which promises soon to grow
into full manhood.
The use of thing in the delta
means a revolution. Lands that are
now worthless on account of the wa
ter remaining on them will soon be
drained and put in cultivation.
There will be no more unsightly
bitches, with there lush and luxu-
RANT growth of willows and other
vegetation, that clogs them up and
prevents the water from escaping.
Thousands of acres of the richest
land on the face of the globe may be
reclaimed by the use Of tiling, which
costs only a trifle, and rendered fit
for agricultural purposes.
The oil industry, of course, is an
one, but it is not the only
one that is attaining to immense
proportions. Ice factories, soda wa
ter factories and some of the largest
lce-cream factories in the country
may be seen, The land is so enor-
mously rich and accumulation is SO
easy that prodigality in living is the
and economy is the rare excep-
lion.
