HID HE LIVED II CORRECT LIFE

The case of young Beattie, who is to be electrocuted in Rich
mond, Virginia, for the murder of his wife, should teach a lesson to
the young manhood of the United States that will bring a good har-
vest unto the judgment. Had the young man not led a dissolute
life and had his lines been circumscfibed by that department that
should mark the footsteps of one who aad taken the
sacred VOWS of marriage, there is no Jury under the sun that would
have pronounced him guilty. The Scriptures say that a good name
is better to be desired than riches, and we see this httingly exempli
fed in the life of Beatte. His father was rich and had lavished
upon his son all the extravagances of the present day, yet riches did
not save him from the tolls of the law. l. the poor creature has had
a serious thought since his Incarceration, we imagine the wall of his
soul bas been. "Oh, had lived as my good mother taught me-"
But Beatte had been a devotee of Bacchus; he had dalied with
the charms of the women of the underworld and had trod the path
of almost every kind of debauchery. But for his poor old father
money he would have been a social outcast long ago. He is educa-
ted, but his learning has only heightened his folly. What could have
lutte woman. that moved him to take the life of the one he had
vowed to love, protect and defend, perhaps will never be known.
He could have obtained a legal severance of his marriage bonds
without staining his soul with her blood. But his deed shows the
dangers of one step downward. Had he been true to his marriage
vows, all would be well today with him.
We pity him Our emotions are stirred for his father. But we
believe him guilty and think he is but receiving that punishment in
tended for murderers,
Had we been in Gov. Mann's place. we would have gwen him a
80 days respite in order that he might have ample time to make
peace with God, who is ever ready to be merciful. We commend
he action of Virginia courts in this case to the slothful methods of
those of the balance of the land. May they wake up the needs of
the country.
We repeat. had Beattie borne himself as a sober, Godfearing
young man prior to this period, the courts never would have dis
turbed hin But had he lived a CORRECT life before, his wife would
be living today.

Absolutely Pure
NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE

Col. o. F. Bledsoe states to a Senti-
mel representative that he has just fin
ished gathering 750 bushels Of corn
made on a few cuts of his Montevallo
farm just west of Grenadr. He says
he had to use inferior p~icked-up negro
labor and could not get enough even of
that. His method of %cultivating was
as follows: He ploughed broadcast and
planted the first week in May, on or a
little below the level. He worked at
first with long shovels, always throw
ing dirt to the corr and breaking no
roots. He hoed only once and that af-
ter the corn was jointed. The last
ploughing was done with a buzzard
wing or Dickson sweep, with an at
tachment of his own invention on the
light wing, the object of the attach
ment being to cover small grass in the
drill and to push up to the stalks sufi-
cient dirt to keep them from falling or
being blown down. 1t was his inten-
ton to plant peas in the middle, with
small sweep attachments on the plant
er to give a good cultivation in the
center at the same time the peas were
going in; but the labor was so inferior
and hard to get, and the corn grew 80
fast. that he had to omit these last two
operations. Col. Bledsoe considers that
Mississippi has as great corn as a
cotton country, if the crop is planted
and cultivated right, and that this Sec
ton could help to feed as well as to
clothe the world, instead of being com
PEELED to draw its living from the out
side world and by an " reproduction of
its main crop absolutely giving away
its labor and natural advantages
which is its present lamentable plight.

EYER TBODT FOR VEW RAILROAD

The building of a new railroad, referred to in these columns last
week, should, and unquestonably will, receive every possible en-
enlargement from every citizen in Grenada and Grenada county. AT
present it looks like the road is a certainty. We want it to come
through this county and to Grenada. But to get lit we can not sit
with folded hands and wish while other places are doing the sub
stantial thing. putting up money to get the road.
We are in favor of a bond issue, if necessary, to get the road
This then will make the burden fall upon every citizen in proportion
to the amount of property he owns. If the road comes, the largest
property owners will be the greatest benehciaries, hence t is but
right that they should be the largest contributors to a purse to in
duce the road to pass this way.
The road is vita TO Grenada's future. 1t means a great deal to
Grenada county. 1t will touch the county in the southeast and run
IN a northwesterly direction, the objective point being a place on
the Mississippi river. With this road a fixture, we can confidently
rest assured that the Southern railroad, which now reaches almost to
the eastern edge of this county, will be built to Grenada and west
ward.
Meridian voted on the question of issuing bonds for the pro
posed road a few days ago and there were but four votes against the
proposition. Grenada is ready to act when she lis fully advised as to
what is needed.
All together for greater Grenada!

WATCH ALDRICH

The Aldrich currency plan may be all right; we confess W dc
no: understand it, but its author is enough to put it under suspicion
ANY man that has stood for pilfering the great body of the people
protected few, could hardly be expected to face about all at once
and advocate any measure that ras not primarily intended to benefit
the crowd he had been serving so long. His attitude in the senate
when the present tariff law was being considered, in regard to the
tariff on rubber, is sufficient to condemn him in the minds Of tbos,
who are opposed to governmental favorhism. He vigorously CD
posed reducing the tariff on rubber-several members of his famI,
have large stock in the rubber trust. See? Ordinarily. we woul,
say vote against anything Aldrch votes for. We would enioin on
national lawmakers to weigh and inspect most carefully his PROPOSE
tion before voting for it.
