their fellows do some OF the most absolutely 1OOnSn
yWHzazTn THINGS if we are to believe the evidence introduced in

They ar charged with having reached for their hip pockets,
when a a matter of fact, there was only handkerchief in the peck
ct or with having made some other demonstration IN the presence
Of known bully, or pistol toter, that ar be construed a IN overt

to believe these stories.
Our people want peace. No state or county can have an abid-
iug prosperity that does not not place the highest estimate on the
value of human life. The certainty of the execution OF the mandate
of the law gives security to property, happiness to the individual
and peace to the community.
W. believe that good predominates in the human breast. The
veraoe citizen would not inhict a wrong on his fellows n his COM
munitv. Mankind, as a rule, wants to do that which is best. but the
trouble is. too II any will not tax themselves witt a lHlNk M VIII
not stop to measure the consequences of an act.
There needs to be an awakening to the results OF a disregard OF
law throughout the length and breadth of the land. Every daily
newspaper contains from one to a half-dozen, and ometimes more,
accounts of the hasty taking Of human life. No section is tree from
# This is bad, but the worst feature of this condition is the com
placence with which it is viewed by the people at large. When 1t is
brought home to an individual or family, OF course they realize the
terrbleness of cheap estimate of human life, but how about other
people then-well, they just look on and manifest their concern IN
TALK only. .
THE people of Grenada are all pulling together now and we
are going to keep on pulling if we bust a hamestrng''"

THE total value of the agricultural products of the South last
year, SIS 5o,ooo,ooo, is more than The agricultural products of the
United States in 1890 when the population of the country was 6'
100000.
No single country in the world except the South contains within
itself the foundations of all great industrial interests such as cotton
iron, coal, oil, gas, lumber, water powers and a great many other
things.
THE estimated value of the cotton crop of the South is about
81, ooo,oooooo for the season IoooIoIo. The output of all the gold

America. More foreign money was brought into the country from the
sale of cotton than the combined sales from corn, wheat and iron.
THE fight in several of the congressional districts is being
waged on the Vardaman and antiVardaman line, especially, as we

suits will, no doubt, have considerable bearing on the senatorial race.

let for them.
