NEEDS A BANK.

but the observation and opinion
of others who do not reside at the
place. We have been there time
and again when business seemed
at standstill. Checks are good
and representative of the cash.
but do not supply the necessity
in the transaction of business.
We have been there when parties
from miles around were en-.
deavoring to get checks cashed
on banks here. West Point, Ma
ben and Ackerman; in fact mer-
chants unable to collect amounts
which parties wished to pay for
the reason that they were unable
to pay the difference and cash the
checas. These merchants and
others keep deposit at one of
the other places above indicated.
Some two years ago We publish
ed a pcharter for a bank there,
but for some reason unknown to
us did not materialize. We pre-
sumo, however, for reasons sat-
isfactory or that the plans were
not 1ully developed, premature
effort. If the good people of that
place ielt the pressure then of the
convenience of banking facilities,
it is the more now, for it has
grown to be an actual necessity.
That place while it has grown
and prosperied in the face of ad-
verse circumstances, made a good
race with all the weights about it,
it need not expect continuance.
It becomes discouraging and dis
heartlng to the most hopeful.
These good people should get to-
gether and reason as men who
have the interest of their town
and community at heart. They
have great interests at stake.
Thousands of dollars of checks
are issued during each week aud
repetition of the difficulties re-
ferred to confronts them. Is it
because they have not confidence
in the capacity of their fellow
citizens. Let it be what it may,
get together and remove the OBJ
stacle in the path of progress.
We have two banks here and two
at Maben all in this County.
Holmes County has ten banks.
It is true that Ackerman is but
8 miles away, but just as we'll be
thirty Or fifty miles off. We
could not suggest, Iwere we the
originator of the idea, a thing
from a commercial standpoint of
greater material benfit for the
town and community, and might
with as great propriety for the
County. It would increase the
wealth of the County at large.
No one for moment would ques-
ton that a bank would pay from
the start of business. Now we
suggest to the good people of
Sturgis that if you do not take
the necessary steps to build up
your own town you need not ex-
pect others to do it for you. If
s YOU do not wish to put up and
take stock you can induce others
TO do it for you. You must con-
vince outsiders who would be
wiling to become one of you to
assure them that you would be
friendly towards the institution
in every conceivable way. You
can work in that direction. Will
YOU do it? Sturgis with bank
wo,,ld be one of the best towns
between here and Kosciusko. A

idea is such a good one that we

a quarter of that amount would
be a prize worth working for.
and you would have for your re-
ward the satisfaction of seeing
your town "blossom like the
Rose" Just try and see.
Eyes, Starkville has improved
wonderfully, but what impresses
me most is the weeds and grass
everywhere. l suppose they
were here when I went away,
but it hardly seems like there
that many"
This criticism was made before
that ordinance was passed re-
quirlng residents to cut grass in
the front yard, back yard and on
the sidewalks. Do you think
the change would be apparent if
she was walking down our streets
today?
Another passing over the
shabby appearance of some of
our streets pauses to remark
that 1.-The yards are better kept,

"Why do yon have SO much
fever and other sickness? You
ought to have sewerage. You
are way behind on that. Look
at-the stagnant water standing
on your streets, you will never
have a healthy town until you
improve your sanitary condition. I"
One of the College Professors
said it suited his intereets best
to build IN town, but as Stark
vile had no sewerage, of course
he preferred to live on the
Campus. Many of our citizens
have expressed willingness to
be taxed for this most important
Improvement. Can't we have
what other towns no larger have
in the state? One of the moth.
ers called our attention to the
specially unsanitary condition of

tees report that they are not

your children or your dollars?
Mrs. Adele Critz has delighted
the hearts of the other Civic
Association membere by prompt
ly removing her fence as soon as
she became a Main Street resi-
dent. Little good will be our
efforts to beautlfy the grounds if
the building itself is unhealthy.
The court house reflects credit
upon the housekeeping of our
sheriff Mr.. McIlwain, who has
had an early fall cleaning.
To Civic folk nothing is more
desirable than cleanliness and
the Association is enthusiastic in
appreciation of the sheriff effort
to keep this handsome public
building in good sanitary condi-
tion.

ARCHBISHOP NUTTALL

While in Richmond during the
early days of the General Conven-
ton, Archbishop Nuttall, of the
West Indies, gave to the Bishops,
in their House in the Capitol, an
address concerning the Negro
problent. 1t was listened to by
the Bishops with intense interest,
in view Of the fact that the matter
was to come before them later. So
marked was the general interest,
however, and SO excellent the ad.
dress, the Bishops have made the
address public. The address which
the Archbishop states represents
in form the preparation of an hour
represents in substance the exper-
fence of life time. 1t is in part
as follows:
Among the things which are
clear to me is this: The suitabil-
ity of our methods of worship and

men. becomes fitted for higher po.
sition and service in the church
will not find himself debarred
therefrom; but that no office or po-
sition or privilege will be yielded
to prejudice, or clamor, or preten-
sion, or incapacity."

Henry j. Lord charges that his
wife has been intimate with the
coachman since March 10 last.
The scandal of the intimate rela
tions between wife and coachman
were talked of in the neigh borhood
even before that date.
At one of the recent affairs OF
the Greenfield Hill Country club
there was considerable opposition
to Cameron's entry as a. driver in
one of the exhibition events, but
eventually he was allowed to drive.
1t was thought by those who op-
posed him that too determined a
stand might cause a storm to
break, which all have been fearing
for some time.
Lord is said to have been SO
wrought up over his suspicious
that he determined to shoot both
Mrs. Lord and Cameron. His in.
innate friends, among whom the
trouble was well understood, per-
suaded him that such step
would DO no good, and accomplish
only the bringing of disgrace on
the head of his little daughter, Of
whom he is very fond. They ad-
vised that instead he satisfy him
self with civil action. 1t is a fact
that during the annual horse show
at the Greenfield Hill Country
club, Mrs. Lord and the Negro
coachmBn drove back and forth to
the ground daily in each others
company, and that on occasions Of
the purchase of new horses to add
to the string she always asked the
advice of the Negro and had him
look on as prospective purchaser

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. IA
sensational divorce action. in
which there are many parallels to
the Hartje case in Pittsburg, has
been instituted in the Supreme
court of Fairfield county by Henry
j. Lord, wealthy resident of
Trumbull, six miles from this city,
in which he accuses his wife of in
timacy with their Negro Goa Gilman
Henry Cameron. Mrs. Lord was
Augustine Emanuel, a South Car
olina beauty, who on their mar
riage brought a considerable for
tune to the one already owned by
her husband.
The Lords are members of the
Greenfield Hill Country club, have
been known throughout the State
among the exclusive country
homes of wealthy New Workers,
and have exhibited a string of
thoroughbreds for several years.
Their country home is one of the
show places of Trumbull, which is
its slf a colony of rich people. Mrs.
Lord is an exceedingly handsome
wo nan, and excels in horseman-
ship.
Mrs. Lord occupies the hand
some country residence at Trum-
bull alone, with the household
servants, and Cameron, the core
spondent, presides over the stable,
in which there are many grooms.
The filing Of the diverse action
brings to head the gossip of the
clubhouses of the neighborhood
and of the drawing rooms, in which
since last March, the names of the
beautiful society woman and the
coachman have been linked. The
case resembled the Hartje case in
more respects than in having Ne
gro named as correspondent.
So high did the feeling run in
the immediate neighborhood of
the Lord home this afternoon
when it was understood that the
action had been filed that there
were threats of lynching the Negro
correspondent. These threats did
not materialize in even mild form
however and the coachman was
allowed to go and come from the
Lord home without molestation.
He is described as being tall
and broad shouldered, exceedingly
neat in personal appearance, and
about thirty years old. He is well
known in the district because he
has at various times been IN the
employ of neighbors and was es-
teemed because of his knowledge
of horses. He is light mulatto,
and holds aloof from the Negroes
of the neighborhood.

both as clergymen and laymen in
the work and worship of the Church
and their readiness to sustain the
Church by their money contribu-
ton. These facts have been
abundantly tested in the West In
dies; and in the most complete
way in Jamaica, because the
Church there is an institution,
supported and governed (since
167O) not as an Established church
but on a voluntary basis.
1 found abundant proof of the
capacity of the colored and black
people of Jamacia to develop. un-
der favoring and helpful condition,
as quickly as such development
takes place in any other rcce.
"The question here arises: Can
the black people be relied upon
generally, in Church and State, at
the present stage of their develop
ment, for taking an equal part III
the public life and government of
the community, the appointment
of officials from among them be-
ing at the same time based on the
exercise of equal electoral rights?
My answer to that must be that |
do not know. That question has
not been fully tested in the West
Indies, and there has been no
means of testing it that I know of
in America. There will always be
individuals, however, who will
stand out as capable and trust
worthy men in state and ecclesias-
tical affairs long before the great
body of the people has the ade-
quate capacity for the full exercise
of constitutional rights.

South; and most of the Anglo. Sax

and whose numbers are preponder-
ant on the whole, are determined
that it is right and best for both
races that there should be no social
fusion. There has been nothing
approximating in the past to the
practical question which you have
to consider. You must make your
own precedent in this as in many
other matters affecting life in your
country in this twentieth century.

if Bishops, of their race should be

show the race, in a manner that
could not be questioned, that it is
not enthusiastically tabooed.
