But the Hamilton bill was not quite
TO his way of thinking. 1t had been
thoroughly discussed and, section by
.sectlon, paragraph by paragraph, an
alyzed. passed or amended in the
house committee on territories and
when submitted TO congress was APP
proved and passed without a dissent
ing voice. Il was fair. square,
equitable bill in which the wants Of
growing territory were provided
for, and at the same time the inter
ests of the national government were
sharply and carefully safeguarded.
Although fully conversant with said
bill he allowed It to go to the full
measure OF its making without
change or suggestion, but no sooner
had It reached the senate than he
announced his objection to 1t and
further stated that he would draw a
new bill, which, after months Of
weary waiting he unfortunately did.
Such oill. 1t was hum.liating ana
exasperating in the extreme. On ev-

mind and despieable meanness of the
man. He knew that it would not
pass the house, and that il would

senate In the latter body are

beaten by Kern is something that
either does. or should lie close to
the heart of every Arizonan.

EXPRESS RATES AND

SECRETARY REYNOLDS or BOARD
OF TRADE LOOKING AFTER
BOTH MATTERS.

Secretary Reynolds. Of the board OF
trade, does not believe in letting the
matter of the proposed reduction OF
express rates rest. and has taken II
up. in a letter to Z. S. DePass. secret
airy of the Arizona Railway commits
sion. requesting that steps be taken
with the express company to bring
about some action.
In the letter he states that the board
expected a voluntary action on the
part OF the express company, after
the railroads made the reduction in
their rates. but nat it appears they
have made no move. or at least no
publicity has been given the matter
II they have.
Secretary Reynolds is also after
r. S. Stubs. general freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific for a continuance Of the sleep
ing car service of last wear during
the summer excursion season. He al
so asks Mr.. Stubs Tor q little better
sirvice than last season; that is a
more frequent run Of cars, something
like every other day service. which
it is hoped the Southern Pacific viii
see fit to establish.
Mr. Fox OF the Southwestern has
agreed to do his part and the PROPOSE
ton now practically rests as it did
last year. with the Southern Pacific
FOR ratification. as it rests with them
to provide the necessary accomoda-
ton on account of the fact that all
Southwestern tourists travel by their
| line.

Has Been at the Head of
the College Eight
Years.

President w. l.. Clifton, who has
been at the head of Grenada College
for the past eight years, has rendered
his resignation to the board of trustees
and the same has been regretfully ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Clifton and his accomplished
wife have host of friends, not only in
Grenada but throughout north Misis-
sippi, that regret that they are to sever
their connection with Grenada College.
However, they leave the school in such
condition that it's continued success is
assured. The curriculum of the col
lege is higher than that of the average
school for girls. 1t is in fact about
what the l. l. & c., at Columbus is.
Mr.. Clifton has been persistent in his
determination not to compromise the
course of study for popularity.
Mr.. Clifton is essentially student
yet, notwithstanding this and the fur
ther fact that he has been in the schoo
room for dozen years or more, he has
remarkable grasp of practical, every
day affairs.
He has not made public his plans fol
the future.

TRAVELLERS
ASSOCIATION
On Tipping Hotel Wuit-
erS and Pullman POr-
terS-.AsSOci0tiOn Do
ing q Work, That VIII
BeneftGener0I Public.

Many of the hotels of Mississippi
have not complied with the state law
with reference to fire-escapes. How.
ever, they have been notified by the
county authorities that there is stat.
ute requiring hotels of three stories in
height to put in ropes or construct 9TH
er means of escape in case OF fire from
such hotels as heretofore mentioned.
Not only have the local authorities
called the attention of hotel proprietors
to this matter, but the Mississippi
Travellers, Association has also remind
ed them of the fire-escape law.
The Hotel and Livery Committee of
the Mississippi Travellers Association
wishes to be reasonable in its demands
on hotels, but they think sufficient no.
tice and time have been given the ho-
tells on this important matter, and the
hotel proprietor or owner who has not
complied with the law will row be men,
toned to the district attorney who will
in turn be expected to take the hotel
specified under consideration and report
it to the grand jury.
The tipping" reform which was in
augurated January Ist of this year is
progressing rapidly. Very little ''tip-
ping is now done by the travelling
men of Mississippi, and we believe few
of those travellers who practice this
evil now, are members of the Missis-
sippi Travellers Association.
May we ask why should this practice
continue? A dime or quarter handed
out here and there to 4 hotel, cafe, res
taurant or dining-car waiter gets a
traveller nothing. If the public patron
of such hotel or cafe does not continue
it no notice is paid to him Wen he dis
continues the practice. The head
waiter will shift him from seat to seat,
to induce another tip to a new waiter
each time. And even the cashier of
the larger cafes and restaurants, we
are informed, are either instructed by
the proprietor or forced by the dining
room help to give small coins to the
waiter when making change in order to
induce ''tip" from the guest or pa
tron. Is not such a practice hold-up
game? A hotel proprietor who count

enances such a course OD the part OF
his employees becomes, as it were, g
particeps crimini in the deal
I We want TO see the hotel keepers Of
| Mississippi take a firm stand in this
matter. We have had many letters of
approval from them on our clipping
letters. If they will come out positive
ly against the tipping evil we feel quite
sure they will benefit themselves as
well as the travelling men.
We wish it understood that this cues
tion applies also to dining cars and
the Pullman car service 1t is gener-
ally expected that a travelling mans
tip to the Pullman porter is 25c to SOC
per day when travelling in Pullman
cars. This statement may also apply
to every other patron of the Pullman
company. And yet the Pullman Car
Company is one of the wealtfiest
corporations in the United States and
is surely able to pay its help.
We repeat that the public at large
should appreciate what the Mississippi
Travellers Association is doing along
the line heretofore mentioned, and we
think they should give the association
their undivided support on this matter.

The above piece of news from the

Editor Of this paper no little pleasure.
Tom Rice spent his first years in school
under the tutelage of the writer. He
is every inch true man. 1t is no small
tribute to any man of his years to have
such responsible trust committed to
him. And the fact of having his
friends to voluntarily make 100000
bond for him in a few minutes after
his election to the above Office, shows
that he enjoys the confidence and es

Of his life find him optimistic for the
future.

FORMER GRENADA
CITIZEN WRITES
Of Trip to s. W. MississiD-
pl-DedUctiO7as From
BOU WeeUiI Disuster-
Oil MJIls Using Cocoa
nuts and Peanuts.

Mr.. R. H. Williams writes his BROTH
er, Van W. Williams, from Jackson
that he has just been into southwest
Mississippi and he states that the de-
struetion wrought there by the boil
weevil is appalling. He paints fright
full picture of conditions and suggests
to his brother that if the weevil gets
here he may expect paralysis of busi-
ness.
1t IS said of some points in the boil
weevil district that the oil mills are
getting cocoanuts from South America
from which they expect to manufacture
oil. In some places it is said that the
oil mills are persuading the farmers to
plant Spanish peanuts which the mills
purpose to use instead of cotton seed.
Much of the labor has left the farms
in southwest Mississippi, Mr.. Williams
states, the mules are sold and condi-
tions are bad in many ways.
Out of this situation it is hoped good
will come. IF the farmers can not be
gotten out of the rut of stalking all on
cotton by reason, they can by the boil
weeyil. There is but one thing to do.
Raise corn, hay, hogs, mules and
horses. The boil weevil will test the
farmers ingenuity and make him real
ize his real possibilities.
Those places that count the boil weev-
lis advent as a few years past, are
now more prosperous than ever before.
They are devoting themselves to other
crops and making cotton incidental.
These sections have learned to fight the
weevil and are now raising good crops
of cotton.
Science has been able to minimize
every plague that ever harassed the
human family and it would appear that
science, coupled with systematic efforts
on the part of the farmer, will annihi-
late the boil weevil.
It is believed that the people of this
section will appropriate the experiences
of others and that the ravages of
the boil weevil will amount to little
when the weevil reaches here---if it
ever does.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1910-03-18

the fore part Of the season could check
the weevils, but it was proven in 1909
that it was effective after the field was
fully infested if rapid cultivation was
continued.
The third item of value demonstrated
by the season of 1909 is the Importance
of having the land we'll drained so the
crop can be worked as soon as the rain
ceases. Under boil weevil conditions
! the heavy black land and the poorly
drained feds should be devoted to 9TH
er crops, because intensive working of
the crop is necessity. There must be
no weeds and no grass in the crop
Fourth. past season has added
its conclusive testimony in favor of the
plan for making cotton bolls under boil
weevil infestation which plan, approved
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, is as follows:
!. The destruction of the weevils in
the fall by burning all rubbish and ma
terial in and about the field which
might serve for alternating quarters
of the weevils,' and breaking (plowing)
the soil as deep as conditions will
allow.
2 The shallow winter cultivation of
the soil if no cover crop is used.
). Delaying the planting till the
soil and temperature are warm enough
TO make it safe.
4. The planting of early-maturing
varieties of cotton
5. The use of fertilizers.
8. Leaving more space between the
rows, and on ordinary uplands having
greater distance between plants in the
row than is usually allowed.
7. The use of the section harrow be-
fore and after planting and or the
young cotton.
8. Intensive shallow cultivation.
9. Agitation Of the stalks by means
of brush attached to the cultivator
TO- Picking up and burning the
squares that fall under weevi condi-
tions, especially during the first thirty
or forty days of infestation.
II. Controlling the growth of the
plant if excessive by deep and close
cultivation while the plant is young.
Y. Selecting the seed.
13. The rotation of crops and the
use of legumes.
1t will be noted that the system, as
outlined, has two-fold object: O To
reduce the number of weevils and (2)
to aid early maturity. The foregoing
methods may require modification to
suit the soil and climate. Where there
is too much food and surplus of
moisture available for cotton in any
soil, common sense dictates that these
conditions should not be increased by
