WATER TRANSPORTATION.

The gathering at Chicago of
the many thousands of business
men the past week for the pur-
pose of discussing and devising
means primarily of building a
great ship canal from the lakes
to the Gulf, and secondarily of
improving the water transportat-
ion of the country shows that
the business interests have rea-
lized the inability of the railroads
to handle the increasing products
of the country and that other
| means must be provided if we
keep step to the progress now
going on. The first project is to
deepen the Mississippi river and
connect it with the great lakes
of the North with a channel of
fourteen feet. The south will
be thus placed in touch with a
direct line from the great fields
of the northwest and also with
European countries. With this
great canal in operation the south
should profit greatly by the les
SEEMING of freight rates. In this
section the highest rates have
always been charged. From
such points as St Louis, and other
border towns. the rates by rail
north are considerably cheaper
than they are to points in this
direction.
While the country is looking to
water transportation for relief
from excessive rates and freight
CONGESTION on the railroads, a
little project has been suggested
and discussed for this congress
sional district. The scheme is by
no means chimerical and if the
situation was in the north rather
than in the south things would
be reversed. 1t has been sug-
geSted that the waters of the
Tennessee river be turned south
through Bear Creek into the
head waters of the Tombiggbee
through a canal. and thus open
up a cheap route through a very
fine section of the country. This
project will one day receive IA
vorable consideration and at this
time things seem to be drifting
rapidly in that direction. The
south should demand more along
this line. we need cheaper
transportation and it seems that
only by improvement of our
waterways will we be able to get
the rates we should have from
the railroads,

THE BEST REUNION YET.

The old Confederate veterans
pronounced the Greenwood reun-
ion the most enjoyable in the
history of the Mississippi Divis-
son. This is very gratifying to
the people of Greenwood.
The Veterans who attended
the reunion are heaping many
compliments upon Greenwood
for the most excellent and hos
pitable entertainment furnished
them during their stay in Geen-
wood. The people Of Greenwood
do nothing by halves and they
are entitled to the highest praise
for their gracious hospitality du-
ring the visit from the veterans
of the Lost Cause.

Richmondlee.

Since might Riding has got to
be the craze, | wish to say a few
words on the subject through
your paper. The very word night
rider has a tendency to send a
streak of "cool'' through the an
atomy of one with a backbone to
say nothing of one so fortunate.
From what | learn. it seems to be
generally thought that the night
riders and the Farmers union
is one and the same thing, and
they stands to day with an out
stretched arm through Dixie
land''a veritable anarchist, seek
ing opportunity to pounce upon
his helpless victim and take his
life, liberty and property. l be-
lieve that the farmers union is
toting an unjust burden on this
night rider proposition. Not be-
ing a member of the farmers un-
ion | am not acquainted with the
Inside" of the organization,
but l am acquainted with THE
inside" Of many of those who
compose their order. they are
my neigbors, my farmer friends
and my fellow citizens. l hest
tate not say that in my Judgment
there is not a better people on
earth, clever, honest, law abid-
ing and least given to graft. The
night rider of Dixie exists princi-
pally in news papers is my judg-
ment, although some blood will
be shed, meanness will be COM
mitted in various sections of our
country various old grudges will
be settled, the same night riders
will be signed and the whole bus
mess will be placed on the far
mers union 1t is my conviction
that the press of the country is
doing harm, flaming headlines,
the mythical doings of night rid
ers when they should be doing
their part in suppressing the
night rider fad. If the farmers
union is based on equity, justice
and the golden rule as alleged,
this country is safe in their hands
and when a gin is posted officials
will do we'll to search the larger
and cities as well the rural
district for the offender. | am
not afraid of this country going
to the bow vows for it is alright,
alright.

That 100000 people now living in

is done to prevent it, was the startling
declaration of Professor Irving Fisher,
of Yale university, in an address, "The
Cost of tuberculosis" before the in
.ternational congress ON tuberculosis,
today. Fishers address, which was the
feature Of the day, created a sensa-
ton among hundreds who listened to
his statements. Fisher further declared
that $4,000 persons who die of con-
sumption annually in this country cost
in hard cash, over $1,0O0,00O,O00 per

not need to specify in his cross bill

Handlan Lemp, the Lavender LADY,
Ibis particular objections to her mode
of dress nor tell the color of her stock

tanned only one of her six objections
to allegations in Lemp's cross bill.
The court ruled Lemp need not make
known the name of the man to whom,
he says, Mrs. Lemp wrote an endear-
ing letter; also that Lemp need not
specify what he means by saying in
his cross bill that Mrs. Lemp has an i'll
temper and that he need not be more
definite in his charges that Mrs. Lemp
neglected her household duties. The
court .overruled the objection to
Lemp's allegation pertaining to the
pre-nuptial agreement whereby he
should dictate in what religion their
child should be baptized.
The court sustained Mrs. Lemp's mo-
ton requiring Temp to disclose which
of Mrs. Lemp's three sisters he spe-
officially objected to visiting his home.

GrinneII Shows to Be Clean, and I'm

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. Sept. 29.-The carnival will
come to Grinnell next week. 1t is to be
a clean show, under the Immediate
supervision of a committee of the Cit
izens, composed of business, church
and college representatives, who will
have the power to instantly close and
drive from the streets any part of it
that is pronounced immoral or degrad-
ing.
The contract between the amusement
company and the business men of the
city, is comprehensive and binding
one on both sides. The attractions will
be placed in the streets in front of the
places of business of men who want
them there. If any one objects to hav-
ing any part of the show in front of
his business house, it will not be placed
there. No part of the show will be in
the public park, or in front of any
school or church, or near enough to
either to be source of distraction to
study or worship. The company COM
ing here shows a clean bill of health

duced the same attractions that are
proposed for this city The show that
has recently attracted so much atten-
ton at Valley Junction, is proven to
have been under q different manage
ment from the one booked for Grinnell
The business men of the city have
clearly shown that they have very
carefully safeguarded the reputation
of Grinnell for morality. in their Sc
lection of this company and their con-
tract with it, and have also endeavored
to interfere as little as such am aggre-
cation of attractions can do, with its
intellectual pursuits. All this was es-
tablished yesterday morning to fthe
reasonable satisfaction of both sides OF
the question, under consideration at a
joint conference of the business men
and the other citizens of the place, as
represented by committee composed
of the pastors of the four leading
churches, the chairman of the mems
club and a member of the college fac
ulty.
