"WOrking" The Candidates.

The Grenada Sentinel of last week
contained a very sensible and timely
editorial on the "pulling' of candi-
dates, a practice which is becoming
very common among the people. A
STRONG disposition to work the candi-
dates for about all they are worth,
seems to have long been a time-honor-
ed custom, which, through long prac-
tlce, has, In many quarters, become a
confirmed conviction, and the people.
generally, have no conscientious scru-
pies in requesting them to head all
subscription lists, from the building
or a church to the repairing of a town
nall, n even occasionally to assist in
chOpping wood or hOeing cotton. But
it is said that even a worm turns when
trodden upon; hence we would be
glad to see the candidates assert their
rightS, Office or no Office, and rebel
against such an imposition. This re-
minds us of a story which, though
perhaps you have heard it before, we
are going to relate in this connection:

ture, while making his rounds. called

We cannot agree with those who
are commencing Gov. Vardaman for
his pardon of DR.. Rogers, of Union
county. Justice is supposed to be blind
and no matter what a mans station
is, he should not be immune to the
mandate Of the courts. DR.. Rogers
unfortunately injected himself into
an affair in which he was not concern
ed, and the fact that he had promised
to shield a criminal, should not have
freed him from the inQuisitionS of the
court. And while We believe the row.
ernor acted with the very best motives,
we think he has set an unfortunate
precedent.

Gov. Vardaman is to be commended
for turning down the petition of five
thousand citizens for the commuta-
tion of the death sentence of n
Regain of Claiborne county. We think
that the executive should be very
slow to intercede in such cases. Regain
is a member OF a prominent family
and doubtless got everything that he
was entitled to in his trial.

MORE ATTENTION TO THE BOYS.

LIE JdCkSOn ENenl0g News or the
IND contains an editorial under the
caption, What of Our Young Men,
which contains much that is good.
and should be read by every parent of
the land and those interested in the
character Of the future citizen. 1t es-
pecially appeals for the care of the
young man who has gone from the
country home to the town or CITY and
who is dazzled by the rush and hurry
OF things and in his desire perhaps TO
throw OH country ways" which. by
the way, are the best of all, is soon
caught in the maelStrOm of vice and
pleasure that satisfies for the moment.
but in the end hurteth worse than the
sting of the most poisonous serpent.
1t has frequently occurred to us that
the spiritual culture and character
building of children is now too much |
a matter of secondary Importance. Ev-
erything is made subordinate to ''bus-l
lnesS' and the children are permitted !
TO grow up" the parents hoping. if
they have any hopes at all along this
line, that they will come around all
right after awhile. Scars are never
removed from the growing bush, it
may get tie be a giant oak, but eviden-
ces of early bruises will ever remain.
SO 1t is with the young man and the
child. Again around cities and towns.
1T is so easy to drift. Light particles
always go with the current. A drift
IS ever downward and into the slough
of despond and despair. The News
puts the following which is very peril
nent to Grenada and doubtless tbOuS. {

mothers, who have your sons with you. =
