 contract reads as follows: "It is here by agreed that if the cost of produc- tion of electricity for the operation of lamps as specified herein be cheapen- tract, that said company will reduce to said city the price of said lamps in a sum equal to the reduced price of pro- duction aforesaid:
 And Whereas, It has been publicly a sserted that the United Illuminating company has offered reduced rates to private consumers upon the ground that the cost of production has been fcheapened;
 And whereas: There has been no reduction in the price paid by the city except that due to the increase in the total number of lights, as agreed in said contract; now therefore be it: Resolved. That a committee of five citizens. two of whom shall be mem- bers of this board. shall be appointed by His Honor. the mayor. to investi- gate carefully into the cost of produc- tfon of electricity at the plant of the United Illuminating company in this city and to report back to this board the result of such investiga ton with such recommendations as they deem wise and proper.

Usefulness of Grass.

Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant benedlction. Fields
trampIed with battle, saturated With
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-
doned by traffic, become grass
grown like rural lanes, and are OBJ
liberated; Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. 1t invadeS the solitude
of deserts, climbs the inaccessible
slopes and forbidden pinnacles of
mountains, modifes climates and
determines the history character and
destiny of nations. Unobtrusive
and patient, it has immortal vigor
and aggression. Banished from the
.thoroughfare and field. it bides its
time to return, and when vigilance
is relaxed, or the dynasty has per-
ished, it silently resumes the throne
from which it has been expelled but
which it never abdicates. It bears
no blazonry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor
but its homely hue is more enchan-
ting than the lily or the rose. 1t
Yields no fruit in earth or air, and
vet should it's harvest fail for sim
gle year, famine would depopulate
the world. John J. ingalls,.

In a period of political repose, we
shall sometimes possibly adjust our
columns to run series of valuable
and helpful articles on the question
called 1.-The Negro Problem These
articles handle candidly and succint-
ly practically every phase of this
vexatlous problem they are articles
that we have selected from various
sources through the run of number
of years; articles that are some of
them notable in their scope; articles
that will indict blame in whatsoever
camp found. and sound praises where
soever facts and figures warrant.
Irrespective of your race or already
settled views, we ask your patient
and charitable reading of the full Sc
ries when we get round to present
ing the articles 1t will take posi-
bly, two or three months to run them
all. Now no Southernor, nor no right
ly disposed negro, nor any broad and
fair-minded Northerner need get un-
easy about this announcement, as
the articles taken as a whole will
but instruct everyone, and are calcu-
lated in their entity to remove pre-
JUDGES and wrong lines of treatment
from every quarter.

That recent "Near-Beer Decision
by the Supreme Court of this state
seems to strike a death blow to the
vending legally of any drinks con
tanning any percentage whatever of
alcohol, or as one editor has put it
"such quantity of alcohol in the mix
ture that any human stomach can
hold enough of same to make drunk
come" The name doesn't matter a
fig; what's it's called is immaterial,
whether Mead, near beer, beer ex-
tract, beerine, beerale or Whatnot
It's the proved spiked quality of the
beverage that will get its seller into
trouble. The HERALD trusts that
Judge Hardy will deliver vigorous
and calculating charge to the Grand
Jury OF Greene County bearing on
these so-called prohibition drinks,
with reference to the above decision.
If the law is being violated, lets have
it stopped.

It is violation of the Mississippi
law to sell any beverage that con-
tains alcohol in any quantity, that if
drank to excess will produce intoxi-
cation. The manufacturers of many
of the so-called soft drinks send their
agents around soliciting orders, and
by false representation deceive many
retailers by misrepresentation of
assurances that their products do
not come under the ban of the law,
and while this may establish the
good faith of the retailers it does

to the room was through a paper-cov-
