We were BORN IN the country. We

Is imposed upon In q thousand

cial and educational betterment Of the
class that gets less results for their
labor than any other class ia the
world.
We are Mr.. Hightower's personal
friend. We have written plainly be-
cause it is duty to do 50. We are
only warning him. We know that lie is

r1r. and Mrs. r. P. Lake.

Mr.. and Mrs. X. P. Lake Il
Memphis spent a few days in
Grenada this week the guests of
Mrs. Lakes brother and sister,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. b. Hoffa. The
writer will be pardoned for saying
that Mrs. Lake brings to memory
many of his early school boy days
in the western portion of this coun-
ty, where Mrs. Lakes mother, Mrs.
L. D. Hoffa also resided. Mrs.
Lake is prominently devoted to
her home and her family and not
withstanding the fact that she is
the mother of nine children, eight
of whom are living, much of. the
vivacity and beauty of her girl
hood still fingers with her. She is
charming in conversation and
those who would have one believe
that motherhood brings ,prema-
ture age and deprives women Of
many pleasures, could get a splel<
did lesson from a study of the
life of this excellent lady.
Mr.. Lake was present on Mon
day night at Masonic hall when

ferred upon Col. Levin Lake, his
uncle, 81 years old by Yalabousha

mercantile business on the lot

Mr.. Hightower Does Not Speak,

Some few weeks ago we wrote an
editorial defending President High
tower OF the Farmers Union, against
the rumOr being whispered about in
certain quarters, that he would make
the race for Governor at the next elec-
ion. We did so because we thought
We knew Mr.. Hightower and
because we believed he would not
be the means or instrument of
prupogating a sentiment directly an
tagonistic to the tenets Of the Union
and the teachings OF it's founders
and because nf the further fact
that we thought that such a step
upon the part of the one
entrusted with the leadership of the
state organization would seriously
cripple the Union in Mississippi. We
still think such a step would be a
most disastrous n to the Union. We
believe it would split the Organization
wide open.
But editorials that have appeared
in the two newspapers published al

which we would not be surprised to
know were submitted to him after be-.
ing penned and before publication,
together with other kindred matters,

That Mr.. Hightowcr has a legal
right to run no one will g~ainsay. That
he has the ability to make the state q
satisfactory executive no one will deny.
But if we are misjudging him and it
is bis purpose to be perfectly sincere
and frank with mis- friends in the
Union as well as the public, and if it
is a fact that this talk Of politics is
''crippling the work. the Union is
trying to do and that The and the Or

easy it would be for him to speak a few
words that would set the motive

THAT RECORD JUMP BY WASHINGTON.
Alleged Origin of Thackeray's story
of the ~ Foot Leap.

Three college athletes have had an
ideal shattered by reading a para
graph in speech that Sir G.. Treyel-
yam maze in London before the PGb-
fishers Circle at a recent dinner
These men, in addition to being attn
letes, are devoted to Thacketay and
The Virginians."
There Is a reference in that book
to the prowess of George Washing
ton as an athlete, particularly as a
broad jumper. This is to the effect
that Washington was able to jump
22 feet, which, considering that 1t
was away back in the eighteenth CEN
best American record now Is "a feet
IN inches, 1t has not been standing
so long, and in the early days or
American athletics 90 feet was a re-
markable performance in the broad
jump.
These three used to pride them
selves on knowing about that per-
formance credited to Washington,
and they pointed out how in 1876
and for three years following the
American championship was won By
leaps of less than 90 feet, ana that
from 1880 to 1885 inclusive the
champion did not do % feet, al
though close to 1t on several occa-
sions.
So they used always to tell folks
who asked about great broad jump
ers that Washington held the Ameri-
can record from 1852 to 1885. What
shattered all this was the following
from the Trevelyan speech.
IL was present at dinner where
Thackeray discoursed to a delightful
audience of young people about THE
Virginians," which he was then writ
ing and which seemed to fill his mind
to the exclusion of everything else.
Among other matters he asked us,
all around the table, what was the
widest jump any of us had ever
known, and when we agreed upon
twenty-one feet, he said: Then l
must make George Washington jump
one foot more"

4 Nyndcrn Pearl Farm.

In the Gulf of Lower California
there is in operation the largest pearl
farm in the world, where the culti-
vntion Of pearls has been taken up
as a practical industry. To harvest
the annual crop Of pearls raised on
this farm requires the labor of
thousand persons, including the
modern pearl divers, whose methods
have been completely revolutionized
by the up-to-date appliances employ
ed in this new industry. Pearl farm
ing, as originated by the Mexican
company which owns the big Lower
California farm, is the result of the
discovery of very simple fact con-
cerning pearl bearing mollusks.
After twenty-five years Of study and
experiment 1t was discovered that
the shell loses it's gem after it is two
years old, and unless opened at the
proper time there will be no pearl
within. Following this discovery
the system whereby the shells are
cultivated until the proper time and
then opened was devised. From the
time of planting the eggs to the har-
vesting of the crop two years must
elapse, as that length Of time is re-
quired for the growth Of an ordinary
she'll.
