The Race Question.

He said, however, that some men
were chasing up and down the country
discussing question not in the party
platform, the race question. He said
that the Pacific coast had race prob
blern, and there was one on the Mexi-
can border. We had ours, but the fact
that there was race question here did
not mean that white supremacy was in
danger.
He said the white people were going
to rule wherever they lived, and he in
sisted that this talk of modifying the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
was no more than the promise to divide
the school fund between the two races.
When no effort, he said, was made to
carry Out2a promise made before being
elected governor, could anyone believe
another promise made along similar
lines about the negro to get into the
United States senate was sincere?
Mr.. Alexander made an extended dis
cussiOn of corporations aod their con-
nection with politics. He Showed what
corporations had paid to help elect Re-
publican. presidents and stated that they
never put out dollar unless they ex-
pected many more back.
He insisted that the handling of the
corporations was one of the greatest
questions before the American public.
He said that he had never acted as the
agent or the attorney eff a corporation.
He cited numbers of instances where
corporations had endeavoeed to set
aside laws incur own state.
He said no one ever heard of an in
| dividual attacking the validity of a
law.
He gave figures to show that the
railroads of Mississippi were : dis
terminating against the people
in making freight rates on cotton, and
showed that the railroads were even
hauling whisky cheaper than they were
hauling cotton. ..
! He said that the next United States
senator would be called to vote on ex-
cluding whisky shipments from dry
states. He said he was in favor of re-
|specting the rights of states and keep
ing whisky out and said it should be
kept out.
He called neither of his opponents
name, but his arrows shot at Vardaman
were directed with unerring accuracy.
His speech received the closest atten-
ton and it was the general impression
of those on the grounds that many
votes will be cast for him by those
who heard him.
After dinner Col o. F. Bledsoe made
a thirty minute speech in the interest
of his race for congress. He was fol-
lowed by Senator F. H. Harper and
both received hearty cheers at the con-
clusion of their speeches. Prof. J. X.
Morrison, editor of the Optimist, made
a short talk along agricultural lines and
in the interest of his paper.
The Grenada Cornet Band was there
to dispense good music and were most
highly complimented.

AT 0xBERRY, WEDNESDAY
One Thousand People Listen to the
Leading Issues Discussed.
CORPORATIONS BIG ISSUE IN AMERICAN POLITICS
ISSUE IN AMERICAN POLITICS
Hints That Man Who Failed Once to Keep
His Promises in Regard TO the Negro
Can Hardly Be Relied On Now.

On Wednesday of this week the good
citizenship of the Oxberry community,
in the western portion of this county,
gave a barbecue and old-fashioned
Brunswick stew which was enjoyed,
perhaps, by one thousand people. The
place was ideal. There was plenty of
water and an abundance of shade and
the stately gum trees and giant oaks
gave dignity to the surroundings and
seemed to suggest that some of the
speakers would discuss questions of
grave import.
Dinner was served in abundance.
The meats showed that skilled hand
had had to do with the barbecuing and
the splendid people of that neigh
borhood are to be congratulated and
are due the thanks of the public for
the pleasures of the day.
Hon. C. H. Alexander, candidate for
United States senator, was the only
one of the state candidates present.
At 11:15 o'clock he was introduced by
the Hon. VIM. c. Mclean of
Grenada in the most eulogistic man.
ner. Mr.. Mclean paid high tribute
to Mr.. Alexander as a citizen and a
man qualified to handle great questions
of state.
Mr.. Alexander at once caught the ear
of his audience by relating a number
of pointed anecdotes. He said he was
born in the county of Alfalfa, his faith
er being Presbyterian preacher. He
stated that he had never before sought
Office.
He said that he had devoted his time
almost exclusively to the practice OF
his profession, which necessarily re-
quired him to address juries.
In this contest he said the white vot-
ers of Mississippi made up his jury.
He said that thequestion of who should
represent the people was very inn
portant one to them. If, he said, the
people were compelled to hire lawyer
to look after litigation, they woulG
scarcely employ one who would insul,
the Judge about the first thing after he
got into the courtroom and then per
haps turn and insult the jury. 1t was
evident that Mr.. Alexander would have
his hearers understand that Vardaman
in keeping with his past record, woulc
do that.
To get things accomplished at Wash
irgton city, he said, legislator had tt
take his case before judge and jury.
He emphasized the Importance o.
considering measures and not men ant
stated that men were important onl.
as they were related to certain meas
ures.
| He discussed the seven most import
ant planks in the National democratic
platform, such as the tariff, the income
tax. railroad rate legislation, etc.
He put himself squarely in line witt
the best democratic thought of th'
country on these measures.

Ia Brief Picture of What the County
Is and What 1t May Be.
HER SITUATION, RIVERS, LANDS AND The PEOPLE
Is Largely Undeveloped. Grenada Is al
Ideal Healthy Residence Town.
Pure Artesian Water.

Grenada csunty, in many respects,
occupies a unique position among the
{ counties of the State. 1t has never
been the place of any blood -curdllng
crimes; it has never been the seat OF
race wars or collisions that disturb the
body polite; its citizenship have never
specially tried to bask in the limehght'
It's people have been noted for their IN
tegrity and love of home.
The county has had steady develop
1 ment, which has been obtained by no
] "short CUTS It's farmers have been
noted for their intelligence and for
their agricultural successes. They have
been more than abreast of the agricui-
tural procession and been among the
first to appropriate advanced ideas Oh
agriculture. The farmers are now
studying more than ever the adaptable
ity of soils and the suitableness OF
crops.
There are IA country postofhces IN
the county, half-dozen rural mall
routes and the telephone permeates
many neighborhoods, thus relieving the
isolation and iusuring safer business
methods.
The Yalobusha river runs diagonally
across the county from the northeast
| to the southwest. The lands adjacent
to the river are very fertile, much OF
which is vet undisturbed by the wood
mans axe and is destined soon to be
made subject to the ploughman by sys-
tematic drainage. ~
The Yalobusha river is regarded as
"navigable stream as far as Grenada
Up to fifteen or twenty years ago,
steamboats, run the river and carried
large cargoes through more than nail
the wear. The railroads run the boats
OUT and hence the stream has been
neglected and allowed to become fllled
with drifts, etc. There is bill now IN
Congress looking to securing an appro-
priation to make the stream again suit
cd for steamboats,. When this is done,
as it assuredly will be, thousands OF
dollars will be saved the citizenship OF
the county on both incoming and out
going freight.
The Yalobusha river is spanned by
three iron bridges; one at Grenada, one
fifteen miles west and one ten miles
east. Two small rivers flow into the
. Yalobusha at Grenada-the Schooner
and Batupan bogue. Both these are
spanned by iron bridges.
b The creeks that flow into these sever
! .l rivers drain some very rich lands.
II is well known that ''creek bottom
lands are the most productive III Ihe
world Sloping into these creek pot-
toms are beautiful tablelands that are
very productive and under the care OF

STUDIES THE
ENGLISH COURTS.
Court Procedure in Eng
land far Ahead Ofthis
Country.

The following sbecial to the new
Orleans Times Democrat of last Sum
day will be read with interest by those
who are interested in applying new
methods of court procedure in this
country:
New York, Aug. GA special cable
to the Sunday World from London says:
1--WE in America are a century be-
hind England in our criminal procedure,
chiefly on account Of our technicalities, -
is the keynote Of the report to Presi-
dent Taft, the Bar Association and the
American Institute of Law and Grimm
oiogy, being prepared by John d. Law
son of St. Louis and Edwin R. keedy
of Chicago, who were sent here to
study the proceedings in the London
and other criminal courts, and have
been here three months. They brought
credentials from President Taft, which
secured for them every aid from the
English courts.
The reports are only partly written,
but your correspondent was permitted
to make the following extracts from
the completed part:
England has a more business-like
way Of procedure.
although they have outward evi-
dences of form in the way OF wigs,
sheriffs and the like, they really are
less formal than we.
"The most striking differences in the
systems are the quick manner in Eng
land of selecting juries, and the short
time between sentence and final judg-
ment on appeal.
1--WE began our work by reading the
newspaper accounts, then going to the
police courts and following the cases
through to the Court of Appeal. One
such case was completed in six weeks.
In another, a murder case, the date of
hanging was fixed three months after
the crime; all this Notwithstanding that
every person convicted has the right
to appeal.
= zone difference we noted was the
absence of challenging of jurors. Eng
land allows no fishing by cross-exami-
alton. apparently considering it no
mere necessary to examine a juror
than judge.
eve think one reason for the Ameri-
can conditionsis that the prosecutln
officers are swayed by public opinion
and are forced to take up new things,
and the old ones are pigeonhOled.
Newspapers are responsible fol
some of the conditions found in the
American courts. English papers are
forbidden to express an opinion OF
case after the trial commences. The
result is that the reporters from the
London papers are frequently cited IL
court.
Zone special case at Birmingham
interested us. The judges were KEEP
waiting for the grand jury to bring in
bill, having absolutely nothing on the
docket to try. Then two bills Were
brought in and the prisoners were
| brought to trial Immediately.
GA new trial, granted in America OF
technicalities of form, is turned dow
in the English courts.
"We hope that the committee ap
pointed to hear our reports will inaug
urate a movement before all the Stat'
Legislatures to bring about much need
ed remedies.
When the reports of the visitin,
Americans are completed copy will
| be sent to President Taft with vlev
of inaugurating reforms in the Unite'
States as we'll as in the State courts.

Thus far this week the trade has been
very disappointing to sellers. Recelpts
have been fully normal, hut killers have
been poor buyers at all times. Eastern de-

Of todays lamb trade is about 6Oc lower

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle this morning
were very small, making the total for the
four days this week Z, 400 head short OF the
same days last week. There were really
not enough cattle on sale to make very
good market. Still reports from other points
were not overly encouraging and the trade
all over the country was rather slow and
weak. t-
With so few beef steers in sight and with
packers all wanting something the market
here was fully steady to a little stronger
than yesterday in spite of the weakness re
ported at other points. The offerings all
changed hands In good season in the NOR"
ing. Other kinds Of cattle, such as CO.. .,

beef steers, all of them moving freely and
at prices a trifle stronger than yesterday.
The market on beef steers IL now any
