Religion costs us something in this
and whether or not it is more
than valuable, may be left
to those who do not believe in it. The
figures, however, are interesting. Ac-
cording to the Boston Transcript, the
total amount of money donated in the
United States in the year 1911 for
strictly church and religious purposes
reached the enormous sum of $685.
007,875. The Transcript divides this
sum of money into three funds. One
of these ia that which includes all gifts
to charities reported to the churches as
we'll as to religion itself. Another is q
fund for educational purposes, and the
third is fund for the general good. Of
the total, approximately 500, 900, 900
was given to what is classified as dis
tinctively religious, or $4,000, 900 more
than the total gift to education -inclu-
ding the enormous sums given to that
object by a few individuals, and it
amounts to $40, 600, 900 more than the
amount given to the third division the
general good. OF this 500, 900, 900,
$5l, 900, 600 was given by fifteen million
people through the Protestant mission.
ary societies 600, 900 being thus
donated for home missions, and sll,
700, 900 for foreign missions. The
American people have been called al
irreligious people, but the liberalit!
with which they contribute to religious
purposes is an ample denial of tn
charge. Even in their haste. and hurry
the American people are deeply re
ligious.

oucerY Clerk
RATE ON COAL RtDUUIu.
Attorney Barnard Wins Suit for City
of Grenada.

As result of suit filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
December, 1910, Grenada's freight rate
on coal was reduced by recent order
of the commission from 81. 80 to 81. 60 per
ton, which will mean an annual saving
to the town of about four thousand dol
lars. The verdict of the commission
must have been compromise, as Gren-
ada is not yet getting the freight rate
that Winona is. Winona gets her coal
for $1.25 per ton.
Hon. J L. Barnard of the local bar
handled the case for the citizens of
Grenada, and is being most generously
congratulated for the outcome of the
litigation. The railroad company con-
tested most bitterly the prayer of
Grenada petitioners, but Mr.. Barnard
was armed with the facts and common
justice was on his side and thus Gren
ada will save enough in few years in
the reduction to buy small railroad.
The freight rate is still left as high
from Herrin, ILL.,, to Grenada as it is
from Herrin to Jackson, Miss, one
hundred and eleven miles south of here.
The freight rate from Herrin to Vino
ma is SIPS, but Winona has two rail-
roads and it costs more for railroad
company to haul freight to point
where there is no competing line thar
| it does to one where there is one-a'
least that is what the action of the
railroad company indicates.

A State Family Bible.

Kentucky is one of the Southern
states which has recently adopted q
modern law for the registration of vi
tai statistics, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association. Put
into force little over year ago, it
has been on trial. AS usual, it encoun-
tered opposition. Some people were
unable to see why births and deaths
should be recorded; others did not like
to 90 to the trouble to make out an or
derly record of these occurrences Be-
cause physicians and medical organiza-
tions led the way in securing this need
ed legislation, it was, of course, re-
garded as something for the benefit of
physicians rather than for the public
good. Shakespeare asked-and so have
many philosophers since his time
whats in a manner" and the wisest
of these inquirers have recognized the
Importance of naming thing properly,
If it is to stand we'll in the public eye.
Evidently this fact is recognized in
Kentucky. The leading editorial in
the May issue of the Kentucky Medi-
cal Journal. under the heading Name
the Babies" discusses some of the diff
ficulties encountered in putting the new
law into effect. In this connection, the
editor philosophically refers to the
State Bureau of Vital Statistics as
"Kentucky's Big Family Bible" A
happier name could not we'll be devised.
When the people of Kentucky under
stand that the object of birth registra-
tion is to record the name and date of
arrival of esch little citizen of Ken
lucky, so that its legal identity may be
established, and that the state is sim
ply exercising the same care that leads
father to inscribe each birth in the
family Bible, public support Of the
measure will be increased and assured.

Sentinel readers know that r. Press
grove started his CUT PRICE sale last
Saturday and he informs a represent
ative of this paper that he took in
more cash that day than any day ever
before in the history of his business.
There is a reason for this, of course,
outside of the mere fact that the public
knows that Pressgrove always does
what he says, and that reason is the
remarkably LOW PRICES at which he
is selling during this sale.
Mr.. Pressgrove announces that he
had decided to continue the sale

HaiIStorm Gives Farming Idea.

An excange says hailstorm which
caused dismay among the farmers of
Macon county, Georgia, last summer
may prove the direct cause of revo-
luton in raising cotton.
1t will if the experiments now being
made by Governor Joseph E. Brown at
his Cherokee county farm are success
full. The Macon county hailstorm beat
the cotton plants so badly that most of
the foliage was stripped. AS a result,
all but one Macon county planter plowed
in cotton and substituted crop of late
corn. This one farmer did not have the
energy of his fellows and just let his
stripped cotton plants stand.
In the fall he was amazed to find that
the sap in the stalk that formerly went
to the leaves went to the cotton bolls
and he made bale to the acre where
he had heretofore made but one-half
bale.
Governor Brown has instructed his
overseer at Cherokee to shear portion
of his cotton plants of leaves and care
fully watch the result when the cottor
is picked this fall.
