AUTO CHEMICAL WANTED
Southport Fireman Suggests That Old Town Get to the
 Front Again
Especial to the Farmer )


 Southport. May 15-A member of the Southport fire department in discuss ing the situation here. said today: "I think it is time we were doing some- thing in the way of improved fire ap- paratus in this part of the town. Fair field, Westport and Stratford all have auto-chemical engines but we have not made any advance since the steamer was bought by this depart ment. When there is plenty of wa ter this is very satisfactory, but the auto-chemical is the thing we need. When that promised fire house is built on the Wakeman Burr property we can arrange for an exchange by which the steamer can be replaced by a more modern arrangement"

Twice Declined.

The invitation list of the governor general of Canada is made out strictly in accordance with precedent, but is not kept up to date always, the aid who has to send the invitations out generally an Englishman or Scotch man-not always being au courant with changes on the list. The late Sir Antoine Dorion. chief justice of Que bee. was once invited to some func- ton. as was proper. but Lady Dorion. who was dead. was invited likewise. Sir Antoine accepted for himself, but declined for her ladyship, on the ground that she was in the cemetery. The next year. however, the same mis- take was made. so the old judge wrote back to the aid-de-camp in waiting:
 "Sir Antoine Dorion accepts. etc.. but, her ladyship being still in St Anne's cemetery. Sir Antoine is com pelled again to decline the invitation for her."

ana Gray"

A--s an0 6rdy.
 What is the difference. if any, be tween 'grey" and gray" aside from the matter of spelling?
 N The editor of the Oxford Dictionary some years ago made extended inquiry as to usage and found that opinions in London varied Replies to his ques- tions showed that in Great Britain the form grey is the more frequent in use. despite the authority of Dr. Johnson and later photographers, who give the preference to gray. Many correspond ents said that they used the two forms with difference of meaning or appli- cation. the distinction most generally recognized being that grey denotes a more delicate or lighter tint than gray. Others considered the difference to be that gray is a warmer color or that it has a mixture of red or brown. An other group held that grey has more of sentiment. gray more of color. which may mean that grey is a suggestion rather than positive outline.-New York Press.

A New Game.

William is the only son of a pious minister. and. though he is only three and half years of age, his father considers it quite time he learned properly to observe grace on coming to the table. Eis parents have more than once endeavored to explain to him the reasons for his so doing. but the little boy regards it as no more than an amusing game.
 The other afternoon his older sister made another attempt to interest him in this duty. All were seated at din- ner. and on the first words of the grace Williams small head dropped in his hands in apparent reverence His sister, secretly pleased with her success. stole glance at him. when. to the consternation of the family. he sprang up, shouting gleefulIy:

 Druggist John Boyle is investigat- ing find made in the hills north of the town which he believes will de- velop a valuable mine. A few days ago a boy brought to him a stone of peculiar formation and color. A par tial analysis leads the chemist to be- lieve that he has found a vein of the new mineral called soda-ambly gonite. a hydroflue-p phosphate of aluminium and soda combined with lithia. It is associated with tourmaline, muscovite. feldspar and quartz. If present in sufficient quantities it is believed that it can be mined with profit.
 The discussion of the school problem here has developed the fact that there are 450 children now registered at the Sherman school. Some of these attend only sessions lasting one-quarter of the day, while others attend only half sessions. The addition to the schools does not keep pace with the number of pupils and the problem is a serious one for the town school committee.

WHERE DOES HARRIS RESIDE?

O. F. Lawrence, editor of the Grenada Sentinel, announces in
the current issue of his paper that he has accepted the management
the next three or four months in Jackson. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Lawrence publishes the only newspaper in Grenada county.
nents. his influence as a political factor is rather questionable
Jones County News.
The above is very unkind of our esteemed friend, the talented
editor of the Jones County News, especially in view of the fact that
we have made no claims o assertions as to the senatorial race. Or as
to the senatorial vote in this county. The Sentinel is blessed with
an intelligent lot of readers. We have a splendid citizenship in this
county and they cast a ballot that represents their honest judgment
However, Editor Harris no doubt recalls the Affections that
have come to him Is a senatorial prognostcator and the
habit of people to vote against his senatorial teachings.
In the early stages of the campaign before. he was in Green
wood proclaiming loudly and long the cause of Governor
Vardaman; LIE Flore county was carried by John Sharp Will
Jams. Harris edited a newspapesin Coahoma county before the
campaign was over, four years ago, and Coahoma county cast her
vote4of John Sharp Williams. Therefore, it would seem that our
friend Harris is somewhat in the attitude of a certain swine, once re-
ferred to by an old negro; "he have lost his influence in the commu-
nifty where he resides Nobody would be surprised if the question
were raised, Where does Edgar Harris reside7" If we remembers
correctly, since the last sta.e election, he has lived in Vcksburg
Hattiesburg, Laurel and Ellisvile.
The conclusion, therefore, might be drawn that Harris fails to
find congenial neighbors or else the good people where he has re-
sided have failed to appreciate the excellencies of his citizenship.
The Vardaman people here, of course, will be gratlhed that
friend Harris has gwen them this information () Though We hon
estly believe that Bro. Harris will have trouble in even persuad
ing them to believe that Gov. Vardaman will have "a majority 0
several hundred over both opponents" The best people in Missis
sippi are in Grenada county, and the best Vardaman people in the
state arr right here, too. But the Jones County News has tempted
us to do a little predicting ourselves: Vardaman will not have a
majority of even 50 in Grenada county lover both opponents in
deed ue do not believe he will haze any majority at all. ~And we are
going to hazard another prediction: Vardaman carried Jones count!
in the contest against John Sharp Williams by AZ majority. Harri
is there now and we predict that Vardaman's majority will be wipe
out Would Vardaman not be justified in suppressing Harnsa
We repeat: Where does Harris reside7
