its shame. For a whole generation
the Republican party was truly a
party commanded by great purposes.

party invites and offers high guaran.

Athens, O., Sept. 20.-Gen Charles
H. Grosvenor, for many years con-
spicuous member of the national
house of representatives, entered upon
his eightieth year today Since his
retirement from Congress five years
ago Gen. Grosvenor has taken no part
in public lie, though his interest in
politics is as keen as ever During
the years of his activity he chi yed
a wide reputation as the principal
election prophet of the Republican
party. That the old habit of framing
forecasts still clings to the former
Congressman is evinced by the fact
that he has recently prepared form
liable array of figures to show that
President Taft is certain to win the

of September 20, 1777 the troops of
General Anthony Wayne, while re-
treating from the battle of Brandy
wine, were surprised by the British
general, afterwards known as "F'lint-
less" Gray. The British general for
bade his men to fire a shot, and to
make sure of it, took away their flints,
whence came his nickname FLINT
less. The night was intensely dark,
and the Hessians fell upon the Ameri-
cans, without moments warning, and
bayonetted them. Only the genius Of
General Wayne prevented the distruc-
tino of the entire body of troops.

CASES IN KINDS COUNTY COURT
AeeREGATINe $4,000 SET

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 20.-That liti-
CATION with railroads is a profitless
venture, and hardly worth the time
and energy expended, has been strik-
ingly illustrated during the current
session of the Kinds county circuit
court.
AT the beginning of the court term
last Monday the civil docket contained
thirty damage suits against the Illinois
Central and Y. & M. ". roads, the ag.
gregate amount claimed by complain.

During the past few days all of these
suits have been settled by the local
attorneys, Messrs. Williamson and
Wells, on an average OF $3.50 each,
the entire amount paid out hardly
exceeding $100. Some of the litigants
received nothing whatever.
During the past few weeks the cor

MISS POWELL PROUD
OF TOMATO CLUB
GIRLS WORK
VISITS HOMES OF MISSES CHAT
HAM AND LEE, YOUNG LADIES
WHO MADE RECORDS.

Miss Susie " Powell was in Hatties-
burg yesterday looking after the re-
ing the day she visited the home of
Miss Susie Chatham, who is credited
with having the& record for canning
tomatoes in the south. Miss Chatham
planted and cultivated one-tenth of
an acre of ground in tomatoes and in
addition to supplying her fathers fam
lily with all the tomatoes they used
during the summer, estimated to be
six bushels, she canned by actual
count 1852 two-pound cans of toma-
toes. These were steamed and packed
in exact accordance with the regula-
tions prescribed by the U, S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. AS she had
154 1-3 dozen cans and the brokers'
wholesale price on such tomatoes ia
| S5 cents per dozen, the gross returns
on one-tenth of an acre is $1911S, or
at the rate of $1,311.S0 an acre. This
without taking into account the more
than six bushels consumed at home.
While Miss Powell is proud of the
results obtained by Miss Chatham,
she says Miss Ethel Lee, another
young lady living near Petal, has a
splendid return from her one-tenth
of an acre, from which she put up 1882
cans, besides supplying a large quan.
tity of tomatoes used in her home.
