HI REMOVAL OF THE FEDERAL COURT

A party consisting of Hons. L. Barnard of this city, I. l, Lo-
max of Greenwood and J H. Caldwell of Charleston, who we're tobe
joined by others, left Grenada Monday for Washington City to urge
upon Congress the passage of the bill heretofore introduced by Hon
7. U. Sisson providing for the removal of the federal court from Ok
ford to this place,
There is scarcely any argument for allowing the court to con-
tinue at Oxford, except the one which progress always confronts, OF
not disturbing aged things. The fact that our foretahers travelled
in OK carts is no reason why OK carts should be used today. The
demands of the people of this federal court. district have grown be-
yond Oxford and it's needs, and the convenience of the people who
have to do with the courts, Is well as other public matters, should
be consulted about the whens and the where's of such matters. "A
vast majority of those contiguous to Oxford. and whose business it
is to attend court from time to time, have petiuoned to have the
court moved to this place. Those closest by should be the best
judges. We have no bricks to throw at Oxford. It'll a good town
and is blessed with a splendid citizenship, but that is not an issue in
this matter. 1t is a matter of convenience, and business, if you
please. Grenada has very superior railroad facilities. She has a
passenger train service not exceled by a town of her size in the
South. To reach Oxford. one must necessarily go or come in the
night. Why, the government would save enough in mileage in a few
years to pay for several federal buildings at other points.
Regarding a building at this place, Congress has already pro-
yided for a $4,000 postofhce building in our midst, and with but ten
or fifteen thousand dollars additional, the proposed federal building
could be made ample to accommodate the federal court. We are
advised that the federal building at Oxford is badly out of repair,
and that if the court is allowed to remain there the building will
necessarily have to be enlarged; hence, as a matter of dollars and
cents, it will be seen that Congress would save money by ordering
the court removed. Railroad facilities, accessibility, convenience
and hotel ccommodations-thes and many more, appeal to the un-
biasedyadgment in behalf of bringing the court to Grenada.
Our town is full of life. She has a loyal and devoted citizenship
that loves her every interest, yet there is profound reverence for
truth and Justice that would not allow our people to promote any public
enterprise or seek to do anything that they did not believe to be
right and for the best interests of the general welfare.
What will be the outcome of the proposition to move the court,
we, of course, do not know. We note from an item in the daily
press, sent out from Jackson, that Judge Niles IS credited with ia
yoring the moving of the court. No one is in a better position than
the learned Judge to know the needs and what is best for the dis
trct and if it be true that he favors Grenada, it occurs to Is that his
opinion should and ought to be very potential with Congress.

George R. Hightower, the late president of the Farmers Union,
has been elected president of the A. & M. College, is was predicted
when Burkitt and his crowd resorted to the methods they did to
force Hardy out. Mr. Hardy is one of the foremost educators in
the South, but his services we're not appreciated by the populistic
bunch now in control of affairs in Mississippi-Greenwood Com,
monwealth.
Were it not for our friendship and the esteem we have for Jim
Gillespie, the able editor of the Commonwealth, we should not ad-
monsh him to cease repeating somebody elseis hobgoblin ideas.
Our friend Jim is usually fair and we know he wants the truth, but
those that lay the responsibility for Mr.. Hightowers election to
Burkitt, give Burkitt credit for something that IS not due him.. In
making this statement we would not pluck a single laurel from the
brow of DIR. Hardy. We are giving it to you straight, Brother Jim.

To Delinquent Subscribers

The Sentinel has a few subscri-
bers that usually pay up at this
season, who have failed to do so
thus far. Please do not forget us.
We have cut out a great many
dead heads lately and will cut
out more from time to time, un-
less subscriptions are paid. We
have been carrying some on our
list for two and three years and
in a few cases even longer. We
prefer what they owe us now to
their good graces or their further
patronage.

UNPRECEDENTED RIMS

The rains of the past fortnight have been terrific; in fact, it has
rained, rained and raned since Christmas, to a degree that many old
citizens never saw before. 1t will be recalled that the rain was con-
tinuous for several days before Christmas, that it rained SO as TO al
most paralyze Christmas trade. Since the first of January there has
hardly been a week that it has not rained and there has been no pre-
tense at the job, but it has frequently come in torrents. During
March there was scarcely more than three days of fair weather and
sunshine in succession, and when the rain has started lit has claimed
from three days to a week without ceasing And it has not been To-
cal, either. The rivers all over the country are full and OVERLOOKING.
The Mississippi river is on a rampage, and if the levees do not break
and there is not a general overflow of the delta section, it will be
most remarkable.
At this writing, the river registers above AZ feet on the gauge at
Memphis, and the waters are still coming. Unquestionaby this
generation has never before seen so much rain. The farmers have
been unable to pillow or do scarcely any kind of farm work. The

Regardless of what is said about Ex- President Roosevelt ma
king the race against Taft for the Presidency, the fact stares the
country in the face that the machine of his party is against him and
that the machine Il afraid to submit the issue between him and Taft
to a primary for the reason, every circumstance shows, that thew
know Roosevelt will defeat Taft. The so-called New York primary
was a travesty on honest elections.
So far as we are concerned, we are glad to see the war on be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft. When the election is over in Novem-
Der and some good democrat has outdistanced Mr.. Taft, Teddy can
sit back and laugh and say, Il told you So" The democrats will
win this fight If they keep straight ahead as they have been for the
past two years.

Hon. S. A. Morrison of this city gave out an interview to the
daily press of Monday, in which he expressed himself very posi-
lively as being in favor of allowing Gov. Brewer to borrow money to
continue the activities of the department of Archives and History.
Morrison very properly stated that he did not think such things
should be considered from the standpoint of the partisan or as to
how the head of the department stood toward any prominent man.
This is the correct view. 1t seems that the failure to pass an appro.
priation was accidental. If DR.. Rowland, the head of this depart
ment, has been untrue to his trust, he should be reached by legal
process. Certainly it will not be denied that his work has attracted
much interest beyond the confines of Mississippi. We have op.
posed, and sill are opposed, to a seif-perpetuating board of trustees
for that department, but that is not the matter at issue now.

AVSWER

In his speech at Chicago a few days ago, Ex-President Roose-
welt gave the following answer to the charge made by some of his
enemies that he wanted to be a king. He doesn't place
a very high estimate on a royal crown and seems to think the aver
age king as much of a cipher as a vice president:
There isn't much danger to the people from a mar who can do
nothing unless he can persuade them that what he wants is right. |
am going to make one remark | have often been tempted to make,
but never have made before. Occasionally my gloomy foes have
said that wanted to be king. wanted to answer that they did
not know kings, and did. like the kings have met, but don't
want to be one. because the function of those kings, expressed in
the terms of democracy, would be the position of vice president for
life, with the leadership of the -four hundred thrown in. l think
there ire other Jobs that a full-szed man would prefer"

The Yalobusha river has been higher this spring than it has
been before in a number of years, and the feature about it is the fact
that the stream has been out of its banks SO long.

GILBREATH AFTER HELP.

Fargo Forum: Commissioner of
Agriculture Gilbreath is after more
harvest help for North Dakota. AS
result Of his acquaintance with rail
road men he has been able to induce
many Of them to advertise the neces-
stiles Of North Dakota and to give
reduced rates. The commissioner has
inserted advertisements and written
the editors Of the leading papers in
many states explaining the situation.
Responses have some from many
states. Even Maine, New York, Geor-
gia and other far distant points offer
to send men in lots ranging from ten
to 500. Many of these offers are con-
tingent on free transportation-or the
promoters desire pay for helping as
semble the men Unfortunately there
Is no fund in Commissioner Gil
breatlis department and no provis-
ion for securing ito pay the fare
or nay for the services OF some one
to send these men.

WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET.

In connection with the announce
ment that the Courief-News at Fargo
Is to be sold under the hammer 1t Is
said that Tom Marshall has consider
able control OF that paper, and that
after the sale of the paper has ma
terialized he will have stronger
clncn on the policy OF the paper than
ever.
Politically the Courier-News has
been reactionary all through its ca
reer. While 1t claims to have been
republican it has shown disposition
to oppose all issues and candidates
selected by the majority OF the party,
and there has been times when it
sided with the democrats to accom2-
lish its purpose.
If the sale now scheduled causes,
that paper to pass into the hands Of
Tom Marshall 1t cannot do otherwise
tnan support President Taft in the
campaign for reelection. Mr. Mar
shall Is the republican national COM
for North Dakota, and
while he has been aligned for the
past two or three terms, his present
position in the campaign obligates
him to support the regular national
and state republican ticket at the
fall election. There is no other course
for him to pursue.

IMPROVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK

IMPROVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK.
The question of the Improvement
of livestock is being given consider
alton over the state; and especially
are bankers, real estate dealers, and,
in fact, all classes Of business men
becoming interested. 1t is a settled
and accepted fact that live stock rals-
ing is profitable, and is the true key
to successful farming, and with this
goes the specializing in one particu-
lar breed. No community will be real
w prosperous or stable until its farm
ers engage more or less in diversified
farming and the raising OF stock nat
urally brings this about.
Dairy Commissioner Flint favors a
plan whereby the commercial clubs
of the various towns in this state
might assist quite materially in pro-
noting their own interests by taking
a hand in this matter. One Of. the
plans which would prove quite inter-
esting and profitable to both farme.
and business man, would be what
might be termed COW contest BY
this is meant, having COWS of the
same breed contesting against each
other, and also against other breeds.
Many communities over the entire
country are meeting with great sue.
cess in specializing in one particular
breed, and while this is not carried on
to any great extent in this state yet
it is being done to some extent. Es-
pecially is 1t proving quite satisfac-
tory and profitable at New Salem
where it Is being carried on.
! When one becomes interested in
live stock there is a sort of a human
interest which accompanies the In
dustry. For instance. no one has any
feeling when they sell bushel OF
grain, but when the ned or an animal
is sold from the farm, there is gener-
ally sort of regret in the family,
especially when the animal or ami
mails have been raised on the farm.
This feeling OF interest soon grows
on all connected with the farm, and
in time there is something about it
which becomes second nature to all
concerned. When the interest In
creases, then the improvement of the
herd increases. The profit then very
naturally begins, and continues to
grow. The result is the farmer anG
eventually the whole community, be-
comes prosperous.

Mothers should watch closely the
condition of the children's bowels, ba-
