The Civic League.

A very interesting meeting of the
Civic Improvement League was held in
the directors room of the Grenada
Bank, July 25th. The ladies displayed
considerable enthusiasm on the subjects
brought up for discussion. namely: the
screening Of the standpipe; the cutting
aid removing Of weeds from the streets
and from the vacant lots; the enforcing
of the law in regard to extending sew.
erage to servants houses by persons
having opportunity to do same; the re-
moval of unsightly signs painted SO
glaringly on the walls of some of the
principal shops; the abolishment of hogs
from the city limits.
The League feels confident that a
simple request will win permission to
cover the Objectionable signs with a
coat of paint.
The president stated that the mayor
affirmed the Leagues right to make
affidavit against the sanitary inspector
in case he does not force property own
ers to remove weeds and hogs and to
extend sewerage. He, in turn, can pay
the property owners the same ''compli-
ment."
The League is very much in earnest
in its desire for pure water, pure air,
clean streets and beautiful town.
Mr.. Tatum's courteous cooperation
and kind encouragement are greatly
appreciated by the League. Will not
the people follow the lead Of the mayor
and his honorable board? Will they not
aid in this important forward move
ment? Member.

First Open Boil

A citizen of Holcomb writes the Sen
tinel: Randolph Ingram, progressive
colored farmer, was in Holcomb today,
proudly exhibiting an open boil of cot
ton, the first that has been reported
from this vicinity. Randolph has the
honor of being the first in his commu-
nifty to show the first cotton blossoms.
He is an honest, progressive farmer,
and all colored people would do we'll to
follow his good example, as desirable
citizen. Here's hoping that his yielc
is good and price fair.

in the senate directing the foreign
relations committee OF that body TO
make an investigation.
A dispatch from Ambassador VIII
son in MEXICO City to President Taft
said that President Diaz had prom
ised "a definite restrictive policy
slong the border"
Neutral Zone Proposed.
It Is suggested here that an effort
will be made by the Diaz govern
ment to establish neutral zone of
about FIVE miles along the border in
which there shall be no fighting. The
difficulty in regard to this proposition
is that 1t will require the consent Of
the insurrectos.
The surrender to United States
troops of the insurgont generals and
other insurrectos who crossed the
line at Douglas makes, Il necessary
for the United States to decide what
they will do with these men. There
is a precedent to be guided by. In
1877, III the course OF an insurrectlon
in Mexico, revolutionists crossed the
border and were taken and dlsarmed
by the United States authorities. At
that time, as now, the belligerency OF
the lcvolutionists was not rccog
nized. These prisoners were dis
armed, kept in confinement and fur
nished with rations until the trouble
was over. This 1t is likely, is what
will be done in the present case.

Hillenkarnp Alco Believes Il useless
to Report out More Measures at
Present--Wsync 3. Wheeler De.
clares Antl.ssIeon League viii En-
dcaVor to Elect Their Candidates to
the Constitutional Convention In
Every County Of the State.
Columbus o., April i9.-Wet and
dry questions have assumed proper
tions in the general assembly. with
the drys scoring most of the points.
In the first place the chairman OF
the temperance committee, Smith
Welsh of Ottawa county, who has
been wet. turned on the question Of
reporting out the Dean saloon limita-
tion hill and the Lorenz bill to allow
brewers and wholesalers IN dry coun-
ties to sell to residences in their
counties liquor in one-gallon quantl-
ties, and the meeting Of the commit
tee was called off.
81 nm dry so far as reporting any
more liquor legislation olt." was the
way Mr.. Welsh expressed it.
MIR. Hillenkamp of Lucas was an
other wet member of the committee
to turn. He declared bimself as
against reporting out any further
liquor legislation. "1t's useless to do
it," he said.
Tn the second place the indications
pointed TO the probability that the
amendment to the Green constitu-
tional convention bill providing for
separate submission to the people OF
the question of whether or not the
liquor traffic shall be licensed, may
be stricken out in the house.
Wayne y. Wheeler Of the Anti.Sa-
loon league declared he would fight
the amendment. He held it wasn't
fair to submit the question of license
or no license when no license now
exists. and the result could benefit
only Cne side. He declared that the
drys might fight TO have all liquor
questions submitted, including state
wide prohibition.
Wheeler Makes Prediction.
Mr.. Wheeler made the further dec
laration that the wet and dry ques-
tlon would not be eliminated in the
election OF constitutional delegates
and that the drys will fight to elect
their delegates in every county in
the state.
In the third place REPRESENTATIVE
Crosser. author Of the initiative and
referendum bill for cities. which, II is
said, the vets will seek to amend in
the senate SO as to allow cities to
vote for saloons in dry counties, an
nounced that the amendment prob
ably would have the effect of killing
the bill since the !. & r. people, in
his opinion, wouldn't stand for its
Incorporation in the measure.
In the senate the rural members
lined up against the city senator's and
passed the Hudson bill creating a
state highway improvement fund by
providing levy of one-haf mill on
the grand tax duplicate OF tho state,
raising approximately S3,OO0OO0 an.
nually and to be apportiored among
the So counties of the state.
If The measure goes through the
house and all counties respond. a
total fund of S6.OO0,O00 will be avail
able for construction, maintenance.
Improvement and repair OF roads
