We have known for some time that there would probably be a
change in the presidency of Milsaps College at Jackson and that
President Countiss of Grenada College was being urged by friends
to stand for the presidency of the Jackson institution.
We should regret very exceedingly to have Mr.. Countiss leave
Grenada College, not only for what he is worth to that school, but
for what his citizenship means to Grenada; yet we know that Mill
saps would give him a wider field and we are one of those who be-
lieve it always incumbent on a man to do that which is best for him.
self and his family. Mr.. Countiss is an ideal college president.
When Prof. Clifton left Grenada College he left the institution in
the best condition financially and in public esteem that it had ever
enjoyed. Mr.. Countiss took up the duties laid down by Mr.. Clifton
and the affairs of the College have moved along smoothly and he
has carried the school from one success to another. The College
was never before held in higher esteem by the public AM. it never
before had a patronage that came from SO many different states.
Mr.. Countiss is a very able man. He isa discreet man, and on
all occasions and everywhere he will impress himself on the thought
full man as a thinker and is one sacredly devoted to duty. He is
largely a self-made man and knows the value of time, energy and
money. He is peculiarly an executive character and we believe
that with him at the head of Milsaps College, that the institution
would attain a standard in keeping with the progress of the day.
1t is due Mr.. Couniss that we say he is not a candidate for the
Mllsaps presidency and that he will in 10 sense Canvas for it,
however, should the trustees conclude that he was the
proper man for the place, we feel sure that he could not afford to
decline the profertd honor.

WE HI TE TREED THEM

AS every newspaper man knows, there is great deal of Stree"
news sent through the mails to the press. For some time we have
been receiving some adrotly prepared matter from the "American
League of Associations in Baltimore. The news items covered a
wide field. but ever and anon scattered along through them was
some severe indictment of the Parcels Post and how it would ruin"
the country merchant. We bad our suspicious that the matter was
being sent out by the confederated emissaries of the Express COM
panies. To satisfy ourselves, we referred the matter to the postof-
fee department at Washington City, which writes that it is unable
to give any information as to the identity of the persons COMPOSING
this alleged association. If the Association" W what it claims
there could be no trouble in locating the persons connected with it
and its Offices. Who the association" is, of course, is exactly what
its real stockholders desire to keep concealed. We have never used
any of their dope, but doubtless some of our unsuspectine brethren
of the press have.
There never was such a gigantic combination fighting a measure
of such vital interest to the great body of the people as there is ar.
rayed against a parcels post law. And it S a marvel. to us how the
express companies have inv eigled SO many merchants into antago-
nizing the law. 1t is coming, and we are honest in the belief. that
the country merchant will be benefited rather than injured

THE FEDERAL COURT .AG.AIN

There can be no question about the desrability of Grenada as
the place for holding the federal court of this district. So far as
the proposed Clarksdale district is concerned, it occurs to us that it
would be worse than folly to make a new district very largely out of
territory that now has barely a weeks court twice a year.
With Grenada for the court site, every claim of convenience and
accessibility pleaded by the delta would be removed and the court
house would be where it could be easily reached from every point
of the compass. To talk of a federal court house at Clarksdale is
mere child's play. That prosperous town is on the western border
of the state and a very, very large per cent of the inhabitants of the
proposed district, as everybody knows. are negroes. The question
of getting jurors would narrow itself down very considerably and in
many cases the court would be forced to use negroes or the plant
ers, the latter class, often times, being either directly or indirectly
interested in the issues taken to the court for adjustment.
SO we repeat, that sound business, the demands of Justice and
the wishes of the people of the district, will be most surely subserved
by making Grenada the place for holding the federal court for the
entire territory now comprised in the Oxford district and the pro-
posed Clarksdale district.

ATTORNEY GENERAL EXPLAINS

We observe from the public press that the Attorney General of
Mississippi and his assistants have entered an explanation of that
departments refusal to approve certain charters relative to the pr-
chase oflands for farming purposes. There is very wide distinc-
ton between the case cited and the one at issue. The case cited by
the Attorney General went to the Supreme Court of the United
States from the state of Washington and the legislative act passed
upon by the U. S. Supreme Court was one that was directly aimed
to thwart the purposes of the federal statute. The law enacted by
the recent Legislature sill no such attitude. The legislature Ger.
tainly knew its own mind and had that body desired to make the
law operative and effective from its enactment, it unquestionablv
was brave enough to have said so. Not only is this true, but it is an
official fact that. like almost every other important measure, the
statute was a compromise and one of the compromise features was
the fixing of the date at which the law should become operative in
November rather than now. This compromise met the hearty ap-
proval of the Farmers Union leaders, from whom the proposition
came, and hence if they were satisfied, others should be. The At

OUR CITY WATER

Is there no way to keep the worms out of our city water during
the heated months, the very time when absolutely pure and clean
water is an hundred fold more essential? 1t has been repeatedly
suggested that the covering of the .standpipe might aid in the pre-
vention of the termination of these pests which are undoubtedly an
enemy to health and to human life. The very thought of having
one of these wiggling worms go down your throttle is not calculated
to preserve an equanimity of the stomach. The tact that these
worms appear every summer in our water is a warrant for a severe
indictment of either the water or the method of conveying t to the
various hydrants. Something should be done about it. We would
be glad to publish a communication from DR.. Young, our able and
worthy health officer, on the subject.

POLES

Commencing this afternoon and con-

 offer a typical hot-weather farce com edy for the delectation of Bridseport theatregoerS. Billy which in it's original form was "Billie's Tomb stones" was played in successfully by Sidney Drew. It is built for laughs and they follow in rapid succession.
 There is a pretty love story running through 1t between Billy and Beatrice Sloan which is not as smooth sailing for Billy as 1t might be. The action takes place aboard a boat plying be- tween New York and Havana on which Billy has booked passage in or- der to get used to a set of false teeth which he has had to have made to take the place of those kicked out
 during a football game in which he was the bright particular star. He doesn't know Beatrice is to be on the boat and only discovers her there af- ter they have sailed In the midst of a violent love passage with her some one bumps against him and he loses the teeth. From that time on fun comes fast and furious. MT MelrOse is to have the role of Billy with Miss Starr cast opposite to him as Beatrice
 Miss Cliff is to be Billy's sister and MT. Moore his hated rival. Miss Prin- gle vii be seen as Beatrice's mother and MT. Byron in the role of the sailor who finds Billy's teeth. The rest of the company will all be seen in con- genial roles which help to carry the story along at a furious rate. This afternoon a silver tea set is to be pre-
