Handwork naturally takes the first
place in the field, but a number of the
machine embroideries have almost
equal prestige, SO exquisitely are they
conceived. Hardanger. a Norwegian
stitchery, admirably suited to scrim
and wool veilings, is perhaps the new
est hand method employed. and those
facile at the art declare that a gown
may be deliberately worked in Hard
anger stitch in a week.
The close embroideries are more
slowly accomplished, and to produce
the chaste convent stitchery used on
lingerie, European fingers are gen.
orally employed.
But for fairy loneliness, pure beau
ty without practically, nothing can
exceed the worked gauzes brought to
this country by private persons from
Manila. These shining and dainty
crisp textiles. in made-up form, are
in the shape of the wide-sleeved sacks
worn by the Spanish beauties in the
Philippines.
Here the sacks, which are en-
broidered in the Spanish converts, are
made up into little bodices. which
smart women lay aside for any mo-
ment that calls for dainty finery. A
silyery Wilderness is the one of these
fragile and beautiful gauzes, some of
whose embroideries seem almost reli-
gious, so ecclesiastical are the pure
forms Of the designs. M

TUESDAY,, JUNE 20.
The Leak in the Main.

M
There are several lessons to be
learned from the break in the water
main Sunday afternoon which caused
SO much inconvenience and suffering
throughout the city.
In the first place there should be
someone in this city all the time who
understands, thoroughly, the entire
water system and knows exactly what
to do in an emergency like that of
Sunday. Have it arranged so that
when one such official is away, the
other is on duty.
Secondly. 1t is evident that a twin
main system from Runyon and under
the river cannot always be depended
upon to supply water in the event of
a leak in one.
Thirdly. a storage reservoir on this
side of the river is an absolute necess-
ity and must come sooner or later.
The water supply for a city of 25, 600
people is no small matter and requires
constant attention. No matter how
much the officials try to explain the
affair, the people cannot help but cen
sure them for apparently neglecting
their duty, trusting to luck that every
thing will run along all right while
they leave the city on an outing.
If, as one of the absent officials said
yesterday, the city would not have
been much better of had all of them
been here, there is something radio
ally wrong with the water depart
ment. 1t is a dangerous thing if,
without warning, the city is liable at
any time to be without water for four
or five hours.
But for the presence of Commission
ers Voorhees, and O'Hara and Engine
er Mason. the city would have been
in even worse shape. Had a fire
broken out it would have had to burn
for the want of water. Our steamers
and modern fire department would
have been of little use.
Mr.. Voorhees, is an acknowledged
expert on accounts, Mr.. O'Hara knows
tn e printers trade and Mason under
stands the laying out of q pipe line or
street, but for shutting off water, find
ing and repairing leaks, holding wat
er in certain mains and letting it out
OF others, none of them profess TO be
capable of meeting the emergency as
it should be met and furnishing the
rslief that the people have a right tt
expect. A water department in a city
the size Of Perth Amboy should be
prepared for such as occur ed Sunda,
with a competent man always on dut,
to direct.the work and act in an in
slant. II there is anything that vii
drive factories from a city it is tbs
uncertainty about the water. There

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-01-14

So much has been said and written
on the question of public roads, that
it would be a difficult matter to say
anything without saying something
that has not already been said. New
ertheless, it is a matter to which every
citizen and every tax payer should
give serious thought. Bad roads bode
evil to society, they are a lock in the
wheels of progress and prevent other
good people from coming among us.
From now on till spring, everybody
breads a few miles trip through the
country, because Of bad roads-fre-
quently, well nigh impossible ones.
This should not be. We have the la
Dor to make good roads. The laws
relative to working them are ample
and sufficient; and if they were exc
cuted, the cry that goes up from every
traveller would be changed into a song
of joy. Dollars would be saved, stock
protected and vehicles preserved.
In our opinion a modification of the
present law in the single point of the
amount of fine to be imposed on the
overseer for failure to perform his duty
would meet the required ends. The
minimum fine that car now be
imposed on an OverSeer, is $50.
This is so excessive, that people, out
of charity of purpose, do not seek to
enforce the law. If a fine of five or
ten dollars could be imposed, public
sentiment would support the law and
we suspect that nearly every road
OverSeer in the state would find him.
self arraigned before some court
within thirty days.
Quite a responsibility is imposed up
on a road OverSeer. 1t is a position no
one is seeking and to be fined fifty dol
lars for failure to do Il thing for which
he receives not a cent, seems, in the
mind of the average citizen. u~nreason-
able and unjust. Hence, the statute
is almost a nullity.
1t is our hope, when our legislative
SOlonS get together at Jackson again,
that instead of bordering over some
great scheme, that, 50 far, has never
evolved, they will think of doing this
simple thing, and We believe the road
problem will be largely solved.

THE BUREAU COTTON REPORTS.


The announcement by the govern
ment of a cotton crop of over II mil
lion bales, followed by the immediate
fall in prices, has caused much discus
sion among the Southern planters and
the cotton spectators about the cor
rectness OF the report and the ad-
visibility being made at all.
The cotton spinner puts on a
broad smile and says the report should
be made. Last year, when the gov
eminent report was published and
cotton scared upward, the Southern
farmer, and handler Of cotton, wore
the smile then that the spinner "a
now. 1t was the spinner. at that time
that thought many curious things
about the governments estimate.
This status of affairs shows that the
governments service is only measured
by the dollars that it brings to each
individual class.
In our opinion, the report, or eSti-
mate, is approximately correct, and
this service that the government is
endeavOring to render means more to
the Southern farmer than to any one
else. Before we had these reports the
farmer was entirely in the dark, and
the price he received for his cotton
was measured by Neill's guess, or that
of some European spinner, who came
over and toured the cotton states,
viewing the cotton crop through the
windows of rapidly moving trains.
The government has been very nearly
correct for the last several years and
it is certain that diligent effort is
made to get the exact condition of af-
fairs. The ginnerS should be glad to
make reports to the government and
the planters should see to it that the
government is aided rather than him
dered in collecting cotton statistics.
Our planters must realize, and the
sooner they do SO, the better, that the
price of cotton, like every other pro-
duct or commodity, is largely CONTROL
ed by the memorable law of supply
and demand. There are no inside"
figures and the government bureau
puts the farmer in possession of the
same facts that it does the Speculat0r
and the spinner. There has been a
bill reported to the lower house Of
Congress to enlarge the scope of the
governments report, and, at the same
time. the report Of the ginnerS is pub
lished to have the government also
show the amount of cotton taken by
the SpinnerS, the number of bales eX-
ported and amount of surplus on hand.
We should think rightly along these
lines and realize that the publication
of this cotton data was intended to
promote the producers interests: and
it is to be hoped that out of the pres
ent cotton situation the cotton pro-
Queer may obtain a store house of eX-
perience that may be golden to him in
the days that are to come.
