Mr.. DeLoach Reappointed.

Mr.. Thomas De Loach, e fl ci e
court stenographer, was today reap
pointed by Judge Mounger to serve a
term of four years.
Mr.. DeLoach is entirely capable, and
moreover is pleasant and courteous and
greatly appreciated by members of the
bar of the district. He served four
years as court stenographer in the
fourth judicial district, where court is
held in these places: Greenville Green
wood, Indianola, Rosedale, Cleveland
and Lexington.
Mr.. DeLoach served under Judge
Kimbrough, and subsequently under
Judge Sidney Smith, now state supreme
court justice.
When he came to this district, the
ninth, he served under Judge Bush and
then under Judge Mounger.
The young court stenographer was
further honored this morning by, being
elected an honorary member of the
Vicksburg bar association and also
chosen assistant secretary.
Mir. DeLoach has studied law little
and what with the numerous cases he
has reported, he is well up on the law

In presenting the name of w. H.
Crowder to the voters of Grenada
county for sheriff, the Sentinel feels
that it is introducing no new man nor
one that has rot made an enviable rec
ord as an accommodating and correct
public servant There is much in know
ing how. Certainly Will Crowder has
given ample evidence of his ability to
meet correctly and salts factorily the
important duties Of tax collector and
sheriff. He is painstaking, accurate
and reliable, and there is scarcely any
phase Of the duties that devolve upon a
sheriff that he has not alrendy had ex-
periene in meeting. He therefore goes
before the people as no experiment,
but as true and tried officer, hence il
is safe to say that he will, if elected,
continue in the same line CT conduct
and be as faithful in the future as ir
the past. He has established recort
for honesty, integrity and fair-minded-
ness that is worthy of emulation. HI
is kind-hearted, considerable and oblig
ing, all necessary requisites in the
character of the good citizen and use
full man. Mr.. Crowder will no 'doub
canvass the county and see the voter
in person with reference to his ambi-
ton to be sheriff.

WEAPON WITH winch !
McCluNG KILLED SELF
Presented tn the Hall OF
Fame by. u Citizen of
JacksOn--WeapOn y
Curiosity.

The Hall of Fame at the State Capi-
tol has just come into possession Of :
curiosity that will attract great atten-
tion among its other many. 1t is the
pistol with which Alexander X. Nc
Clung committed suicide. and was
presented to the Mississippi Historical
Society by !. w. Ligon Of this city.
The weapon is an innocent looking
affair Of itself, but it was the means Of
bringing to an end the career of one Of
Mississippi's best known and most er-
ratio men. 1t is cap and ball der
ringer of the pattern used half CEN
tury oplmore ago, and Of large calibre.
It was in the days Of McClung what
was considered handsome pistol, hav-
ing a neatly carved oak handle extend
ing to the end and into whish was fit
ted two-inch barrel.
Alexander X. McClung was one Of
the most noted men of his day-brill-
liant. brave and talented, but con-
firmed duelist and victim of strong
drink. He was born in Virginia, while
his mother was visiting there, though
the home of his parents was in Ken
lucky. His mother was sister of the
great chief justice of the United States
Court, John Marshall, while his
father was an eminent jurist of
Kentucky, hence his intellect and
genius. When a mere boy he served
as midshipman in the American navy,
but resigned and studied law, being ad-
mitted to the bar in 1888, and immedi-
ately came to this city. He was lies-
tenant colonel in the First Mississippi
regiment, ccrnmanandH by Jefferson
Davis in the war with Mexico, which
covered itself with glory; but after
that war was over he came back to
jackson and became one of the state s
most noted men. He was duelist OF
national repute, killing at least four
men in such contests, and was man
of iron nerve without the sense of fear.
He was for several years a familiar
figure on the streets of jackson, but
misfortune was his lot, and on the 23rc
OF March, 1856, he sent a bullet through
his brain while standing before a mir.
ror.
McClung died in his room at the Ea-
gle hotel, famous hostelry of thai
l
time, kept by Mrs. Shackleford.
At his death she took charge of th'
pistol, and at her death it went to hel
daughter, Mrs. Salle Echols. Mrs
Echols died a short time ago, leaving
the McClung derringer and his Gu
glass seal to Mr.. Ligon.
Remembering that McClung died b.
his own hand, and as an evidence o
his genius, his Invocation to Death
would seem that he had premonltio
of his own end. 1t is gem and
here reproduced:

STARTLING EXPERIENCES
by Duck Hunters Oh YalObusha
River This Week.

On Tuesday of this week, Messrs. C.
A. Beatty and Alney Mclean prepared
themselves to shoot ducks and got into
little dug-out and proceeded down the
Yalobusha river. Just opposite the
Baker farm the boat overturned and
split the cargo. Realizing the gravity
Of the situation that confronted them,
the two clung to the floating boat until
they were sure they could place their
feet on terra firma. The river being
out of its banks, they had prolonged
effort to get to land and were in the
water about three hours. They sought
shelter at the first negro cabin and dis
patched messenger to Grenada for
physician. Mclean seemed TO expert
ence little inconvenience from the ad
venture, but Mr.. Beatty was less for
iunate and it was somewhere near day.
light Wednesday morning before he
regained consciousness, and the Senti-
mel is glad to be able to say that he is
now almost himself again.
"A similar experience to the above
was had by Messrs. B. Provine and G.
l.. Paddison and negro, all of Green
wood, in the river just west of Par
sots, Wednesday afternoon. These
parties got into little dug-out and
proceeded down the river in quest Of
ducks. They did not go far until their
boat capsized in mid-stream. The two
white men chung to the boat, but the
negro floated down stream and is sup
posed to have drowned. Paddison
struggled to little knoll which was
entirely surrounded by water. Provine
| caught willow and succeeded in get
ting himself out of water. They re-
mained in this distressed attitude for
| about three hours, when some negro
huntsmen heard their cries and rescued
them. They were in a very remote
place and it was indeed fortunate for
them that the negroes went out hunt
ing. They were carried to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Crump, where
they received every attention and at
this writing are doing well.

HOW TO DISPOSE !.
OF TIL: q,
Rules by American Civic
Association that Should
Be of Interest to
Every Family.

The American Civic Association gives
series of rules for dealing with the
fiv. This is a matter of such great
Importance to every family and every
household that the Sentinel herewith
gives che rules to its readers:
Flies breed in horse mancre, decay
ing vegetables, dead animals and all
kinds of filth.
Not less than 95 per cent of the pests
are bred in the stable.
All stables should have a manure bin
with door at the side and wire
screen on the top, that the larva de-
posted in the manure before it was
placed in the bin will be screened when
Matched; and as flies seek light and
come to the top Of the bin, they can be
easily killed by burning paper or some
other device.
The fly has thirst only equaled by
his hunger; place dish of poisoned wa
ter in the stable and the greater part
of the flies Matched there will be killed.
Flies are natural scavengers, fulfil
ling the same function that some bac-
terra do, butN become an intolerable
nuisance and danger when entering hu-
man dwellings and by contamination of
food.
The presence of flies is direct evi-
dence of careless housekeeping and of
the existence of filth in some form
about the premises, and are more dan
gerous than the good housekeeper' S
terror found in bedrooms.
Remember that where absolute clean
illness prevails there will be no flies.
Look after the garbage cans; see that
t..eJ ir. cleaned, sprirkled with line
or kerosene oil and closely covered.
Remove all manure from stables ev-
cry three or four days, and when re.
moved keep in tight pit or vault, SC
flies cannot breed in it.
Lye, chloride of lime, or blue vtriol
water, crude carbolic acid, or any kline
of disinfectant may be used
| Keep flies away from the kitchen
Keep flies out of the dining room ant
away from the sick, especially from
those i'll with contagious diseases.
Screen ali food. Apply this rule no
only to food prepared at home, but t.
foodstuffs offered for sale, and espec
tally fruits, salads, and all other thing
which do not require to be cooked.
Prevent consumptives from expecto
rating where flies can feed upon it.
To clear rooms of flies, carbolic aci
may be used as follows: Heat a shove
or any similar article and drop thereo
twenty drops of carbolic acid. The va
por kills Che flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable f
poison, one which is not dangerous t
human life. is bichromate of potash i
solution. Dissolve one dram, whic
can be bought at any drug store, j
two ounces of water, and add lttl
, sugar. Put some of this solution i
shallow dishes and distribute thei
about the house.

Much is being said about the coming
of the boil weevil to this section. The
Sentinel reproduces below letter
which appeared few days ago in the
Vicksburg Herald that furnishes en-
couraging boil weevil experience:
Paris. Tex. Dec. "a, 1910.
Fayette Insurance & Realty Co.. Fay
cite, Miss:
Gentlemen Yours of the 10TH The
boil weevil struck US about six years
ago while it was pretty wet season.
The first year was not much verse
than we frequently have it with the
ordinary toll worm of wet year. The
next year they got held in good shape,
and for several years after it looked
like we were done up people; but
they seem to be passing away, and
last year and this they have not done
much damage. They are always worse
on timber lands than on the prairies-
thought to be due to the better
winter protection afforded them by the
woods. Lands that during the worst
' of the boil weevil dropped from $40
and $50 per acre to s25 and $50, have
now gone up and are held at $50 and
$75, and other lands in proportion.
The history of the weevil all over the
Estate shows about the same course,
and it is probable they will migrate on
and leave you as they nave done all OF
Texas from the Rio Grande north. l
/ think that as they increase in a section
their enemies also appear and increase
and that as they migrate onward the
enemies soon clean up those that re-
main, or SO keep them in check as to
make them of no great moment.
The big lesson the boil weevil has
Itaught is not to run over too much land
with half tillage; to work under the
agricultural department methods; to
protect the birds strictly, and to d.
Eersify the crops, and not expect cot
ton to clothe, feed, educate us, pay the
preacker and the milliner and keep up
he horse and buggy or the auto.
If your people learn all the bug has
b teach from those who have been to
chool and learned the lesson, you may
pme, as some Of US have, TO think that
tier all he brought benefits as well as
Duble, and that under new methods
bur lands will prove to be worth more
Ian ever.
Yours truly, w. F. Gill.

Conservation Of Ohio River Tributary
TO Help Flow in Stream.

The Wheeling Inteliigencer of Tues
day contained the following which may
be Of interest to many Garrett countians,
especially those residing along the banks
of the Youghicgheny River:
Through the United States Engineer S
Office Yesterday it was learned that the
government will this winter close con-
tracts for the improving of the Yough-
iogheny river from its headwaters to
its mouth. The damming of this river
will prove of great benefit to the river
men of this vicinity, for when the low
water stage arrives the water held on
the tributaries can be let 90 and float
the packets and coal boats out on an
artificial flood.
This work VIII require some years,

BUCKWhEAT CAKES
MAY BE SCARCE
UnfaVOrable Weather for Harvest
will be Cause.

That Garrett county residents may
have to curtail their usual annual con-
sumption Of the palatable buckwheat
cake will not be traceable to a failure
Of the crop, nor a shortage in the acre
age, but solely on account Of the I'M
favorable weather conditions which have
prevailed in this section ever since the
middle of August, preventing the sue
cessful harvesting of the grain, which,
according to reports from all parts Of
the county, is going to waste, simply
because there has not been sufficient
dry weather to enable the farmers to
cut and gather the grain from the fields.
A number Of farmers cut the grain
two or three weeks ago and it has lain
so long that 1t has begun to sprout,
which destroys it for commercial pur-
poses, but it can be fed to stock.
