AN UNPUBLISHED NOVEL.
Burnaby's Handwriting Was So Bad 1t
Could Not Sc Read.

It was stated at the time of Colonel
Burnaby's death that he had left be-
hind him the manuscript of novel for
which there was considerable competl-
ton among the publishers.
This is quite true. The manuscript
a bulky parcel, was handed TO me
with discretionary power either to pub.
lish it myself or to use it in eonnecloh
with the proposed biography
Here a singular and, as it finally
proved, fatal obstacle presented IL
self. Familiar for many years with
Burnaby's handwriting, ! could not
after diligent endeavor make out more
than Il sentence here and there on the
crowded page of manuscript.
Burnuby's writing was, possibly with
the exception of Dean Stanley's, the
worst | ever saw 1t looked as II be-
fore sitting down to write a letter he
had pulled a twig out Of the hedge.
mixed a little backing and then gone
ahead.
He wrote the whole of his "Ride to
Through Asia Minor" with his own
hand. But before they reached the
printer they were fairly written out by
a copyist.
The hapless man used to make out
as much as he could, then leave blanks
for filling up which he had to seek the
assistance Of the author. Sometimes
there were more blanks in a page thar
words.
Despairing of making anything o.
the manuscript of the novel, it was
submitted to a publisher, who turned
upon it his most skillful decipherist
Neither head nor tail could be made
of the manuscript, and the intention
of publishing the novel was conse
quently abnndoned.-sir Fl. w. Luc.

Candle Making In China.


The manufacture of candles IN
China is no new thing. Years before
the advent of the foreigner the nal
tives made them by crude methods
and used them in home and temple.
Even today millions of candles are
made by the old process of dipping.
ut which the old Chinese are very ex-
pert. A mixture of tallow and castor
oil is first prepared and the operator,
placing a straw to serve as Wlck
between each of his ten fingers, dips
them into the preparation as many
times as necessary TO give the candles
the desired thickness After this they
are set up on end against board to
harden and the straw wicks clipped
to proper length. The finished prod
uct burns we'll, gives a fair light is
consumed slowly. and, best of all, in
native eyes, is very cheap. These can
dies are usually made by small fac
tories for sale to stereleepers, but
many individuals still manufacture
for family and temple use.

Then, | know they will be more

The democratic papers are all
predicting a great democratic vic
tory in this state, in the same
papers that score Bryan for defeat
ing Champ Clark as nominee. Then
the same papers are asking the
Montana delegation to Baltimore
that was instructed for Clark, why
they went to Wilson ON the fif
teenth ballot, when Clark was in
the lead. On the face of this they
come out and say every thing is il
harmony in the democratic party
Wilson may make good Presi
dent if elected, but we cannot get
away from the fact that Chaml
Clark was the choice of the dele
gates at Baltimore. Both parties
are having their troubles, but here
is hoping, the best man for th1
country will be elected.

PERITH.

The success of the democratic ticket next Tuesday throughout
the country means for better things and for better times for the
masses. 1t means prosperity shared in not by a few, as has been the
case SO long under republican rule, but by the rank and file of the
people. 1t means that an effort will be made to lower the tariff, the
real parent of the trusts and the combines throughout the country,
SO that the laboring man will not be compelled to pay so much for
what he buys and that his labors will receive greater reward. 1t
means that new markets will be opened in all parts of the civilized
world for what the American farmer raises and hence he will get
better prices. 1t means a new citizenship, so to speak; it means
honesty in the administration of governmental affairs; it means con-
tentme nt, peace and prosperity.
We sometimes hear it said, "Well, / remember that when there
was a democratic president the last time (referring to Grover Cleve-
land) we had an awful time Cleveland had no more to do
with that condition than we have with the ocean currents. Only the
other day we read a very ably written article in the Kansas City
Journal, a republican newspaper, dealing with the situation then and
the writer very properly stated that the crash would have come re-
CARELESS of who was president. The shadow of that financial dis
tress was already athwart the pathway of the country a year or
more before Harrison retired from Office. So we hope there will be
no one deluded by the cry of what happened then.
If standing for a government administered not for a favored
few brings distress. if we have reached that point where a few f.
narciers can pull the strings and embarass the whole nation, then
the sooner we know this the better. If we are chained financially,
the sooner we understand it, the better.

GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS BY UNION

The Sentinel publishes in another column the recommendations
made by the state convention of the Farmers Union of Mississippi
last week in Jackson, to the next Legislature. The recommendations
are worthy of perusal and have been most highly commended by
the leading newspapers of the state. The Union placed itself on
record for working a part of the state convicts on the public roads,
tor a juvenile reformatory; for a law making more effective the stat
ute against carrying concealed weapons, and congratulated the state
supreme court upon the fact that it has declared that cases appealed
to it shall be considered upon the facts and not upon technicalities.
The Union has expressed itself as doubling real seriously the
merits of the parcels post law and served notice on the national leg-
half way measure.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1912-11-01

We nope that there will be at least a representative vote cast in
Hrenada county next tuesday. 1t is to our interest that this be
done. The people will remember that the republicans of the North
seek to make capital out of the fact that so few people vote here in
congressional and presidential elections. Therefore, let us Law aside
our personal affairs for a few hours and enlist in the cause of elect.
ing a man to be at the head of the government for the next four
years. Those who fail to vote have no right to complain about DO.
litcal and economic conditions.

The voters of Grenada county no doubt understand that they
have an opportunity to say by their ballots next Tuesday whether
the office of county attorney shall be continued. If a majority do
not vote to abolish the office it will be continued. For the info,ma.
tion OF the voters, the Sentinel makes this statement as well as the
further statement that the ticket for this matter will be entirely sep
arate from the regular ballot. The tickets must be placed in a sen.
arate ballot box.
