The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-05-04

There are many strange things in
nature, but about the strangcst is
why some people think that they are
so much better than the majority Of
those around them. Why, some OF
them hold their heads high enough to
disturb the eagle as he "batheS his
plumage in the thunder'S home" and
the buZZard as he steers his sailing
craft through the trackleSs ozone be-.
meath the blue dome Of heaven.
Some OF these people who think they
are lT may have few more paltry
dollars and a little better clothes
than some others, but mcSt of them
are no better looking have no better
figures and are no more intelligent
than the common run Of folks, and
they and Ged Almighty alone can tell
what excuSe-aSide from their dollars
and cl0thes-they have for being
stuck up. Don't imagine that you
are the whole cheese, but remember
that there are poodle dogs and other
ariStOcratic members of the canine
family in this country that ride in
autos, drive in the parks every day
behind the finest hOrSefeSh in the
world, live in marble palaces and
brOwnStOne fronts and associate with
the best-the highest up, at east
society, in which you can never hope
to move. Oh, you are not so many
just few. Why not be kind and
sweet and good and pleasant and
you will be more thought
Of while you are living and more
and longer remembered
after you are dead. Don't lose sight
Of the littleness Of time and the great
ness of that eternity that lies be-
yond.

ROMANCE OF A NAME.
Hugh Williams and a Remarkable
Series Of Condolences.

Hugh Williams and q Remarkable
Series of Condolences.
Names have figured frequently in co.
incidences, one Of the most remarkable
cases being that recorded Of series OF
men named Hugh Williams, whose es-
capes from shipwreck are recorded by
an English chronicler.
On Dec. 3. 1894. according to this arl-
-thority, the English ship Menia was
crossing the strait of Dover and cap
sized In gale. OF the eighty-one pas
sengers on board one was saved. His
name was Hugh Williams.
On the same day Of the same month
in 1875 pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle Of Man. There were sixty
persons on the boat, among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. OF the
threescore none but old Hugh Williams
survived the shock.
On Aug. 8, 1920, picnicking party
on the Thames was run down by a
coal barge There were twenty-five Of
the plcnickers, mostly children under
twelve years Of age. Little Hugh VIII
Hams, visitor from Liverpool. only
Eve years old, was the only one who
was saved.
Now comes the most singular part Of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1880. a
coal laden craft, with nine men. foun-
dered in the North sea. Two Of the
men, each Of whom was named Hugh
Williams, an uncle and nephew, were
rescued by some fishermen and were
the only men Of the crew who lived to
tell of the calamity.-Scrap Book.

GROWING NUT TREES.
In Planting Follow Naturs's Own Wa,
40 Much ss Possible.

In Planting Follow Naturs's Own Way
40 Much ss Possible.
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state
that fifteen or twenty years are neces-
kafy to bring them into full bearing
from the time the nut is planted. This
Is mistake, as trees that have been
we'll cared for should bear bushel OF
nuts in ten years, and the quantity
will increase rapidly each year after
that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising
these trees from seed. To be sure, Il
Is rather a slow process, but It Is In
teresting work. When planting the
nuts, II they have thin shells be per-
fectly sure that they have not dried
out at all. The best plan is to get
them as soon as they ripen and plant
them at once. When this is not posi-
BILE, keep them in moist sand or In
sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts. hickory nuts and
fllberts, being hard shelled. will keep
in growing condition much longer. but
should be planted in the fall, as they
terminate better when allowed to
freeze, as that cracks the shell.
The fall planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her
ways the better results we may ex-
pect. Another thing, do not plant the
nuts deep. Nature drops them on the
surface and gives them a thick cover
ing Of leaves. In which the dirt catches
as 1t blows about; then the snow COW
ers oil and helps the leaves to decay
and form a covering Of leaf mold for
the tree to grow in.-Exchange.

It appropriates the receipts from

but even should the latter be
struck out, there would still be an
additional annual automatic appro-
priation Of about 100000, to be
used over and over. With the low
cost Of drainage reclamation, this
would enable the Reclamation Ser
vice to make very creditable start.

Is The South Going "Dry"?

: Georgia's adoption of State pro-
hibition by legislative enactment
directs national attention to the
; marvellous progress Of this idea in
the Southern States.
| In the North, except in Indiana,
Ohio, and Southern Illinois, the
prohibition sentiment is moribund,
il not dead; but in the South it is
sweeping onward with relentless
and irresistible force, gaining new
converts and increasing in power
every year.
Seven-eighths Of the territory Of
the Southern States IS to-day "dry,"
and it is believed that a majority Of
the population favor national pro-
hibitiop. The Anti-Saloon League
is well.organized in most Of the
States, and is pursuing quiet, de-
termined, relentless opposition to
the liquor business.
To- day there are fewer saloons in
the thirteen Southern States than
in Greater New York. and only a
few more than in the city of Chi
cago. In New York there are
10000 places where liquor is sold,
in Chicago $4,000, and in the en-
tire south only $4,000. In New
York State the estimated popula-
ton in 1905 was 100000, and the
Government issued in the State
that year $4,000 "special-tax
stamps" to persons desiring to en-
gage in the manufacture and sale
Of liquor. The thirteen Southern
States, with 23,500,000 pee
pie, secured in 1905 less than
10000 stamps.
President Marion E. Taylor, Of
the National Liquor Dealers Con-
vention, held in June at Atlantic
City. in calling attention to the as
saults made by Prohibitionists on
the liquor business, especially in
the South, said: "Our only recourse
now is to save our business. I'm
less we work with energy and de-
termination to stop this tidal wave,
every state in the South will be
closed against u.s."
Measures designed to restrict or
absolutely prohibit the the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic bever-
ages have been introduced since
the first Of the year IN the legisla-
lures of half a dozen southern
States. and in almost every instance
have resulted in new victories for
the prohibition cause.-American

From BIacksburg. Va.

We are Ia receiPt VI Tue Aoiio"'
ing letter from Messrs. Phi. Asthei'
mer & Son, Hamburg, Germany,
which speaks for itself.
This firm is one Of the largest
dealers in our exported apples IN
the world and what they think of
them is of vast Importance to indi-
vidual fruit growers and to the
Common wealth Of Virginia:
Hamburg,
Aug. Z, 1907.
Mr.. j. L. Phillips, Esq.
Blacksburg, Virginia,
Dear Sir:
I'VE beg to inform you
that our representative. Mr.. Carl
b lssedow, leaves here on the 18th
instant and will arrive in New
on the 3rd of next month. We
would ask You to direct your infor-
nation about the districts where
the San Jose scale is recorded.
"We would like you to give US
the names Of those counties where
only small per cent OK the apple
orchards are infested, We would
ask you to give us list of those
parts of towns where apples, free
from scale, can he bought without
any risk Of getting supplied with
doubtful fruit. We remain, dear
sir, Yours very truly,
Tpa Phi. Astheimer & Son.
The movement in Virginia, which
began in 1896. against the San
Jose scale, has had far-reaching ef-
fects, and at the present day with
the heavy force of local inspectors
scattered throughout the state. the
Crop Pest Commission receives a
detailed report upon every orchard
within each inspectors territory
which is infested with the San Jose
scale. Upon receipt Of such re-
ports, we issue an official recon-
for treatment with full
and explicite information, which
gives the in lividual grow er con-
else idea as to how to set about this
work.
Not only is the control of the
scale of vital Importance within the
state Of Virginia in that the scale
will ultimately destroy the trees if t
not treated and also impair the
quality of the fruit delivered at H..
.al markets, but as this letter goes
10 show, the presence OF scale in
our Virginia orchards is under
stood and has deteriorating effect
upon oul markets for exported ap.
pies in England as we'll as Europe.
The question, therefore, comes back
to the people. 1t is for them to
protect their own individual inte-
rests and thereby our reputation
upon foreign markets.
Whenever such things as insects
and fungus pests have deep Geo.
nomic bearing upon one OF the
main wealths Of a state, the ques-
ion of control assumes difficult
aspect. Let Virginia growers rea-
lie this more fully AMI it will not
be long until our fruits have es-
;ablished a reputation upon foreign
markets, unstained by any criticism
IS to their purity and excellence.
