Amendments Fail to Carry.

The special election held in Grenada
Nov. % for the purpose of voting on
certain amendments to the city char
ter, resulted in defeat of the amend
ments by vote of two to one. Many of
the voters who registered their disap-
proval Of the amendments favored
parts of them, and had the amendments
been submitted so that the vo r
could accept or reject particular fea-
lures, the result would have been diff
'ferent. For instance, many were op-
posed to the fourlyear term and the
authority given the council to borrow
money in certain cases, and yet favored
giving the council the power to elect
the marshal and recorder. There
seemed to be less divergence on the
marshal and recorder proposition than
on anything else. The electorate was
evidently of the opinion that it is better
to endure present ills than to fly to
those they knew not Of. There was no
enthusiasm one way or the other and
the result was foregone conclusion.

Beverldge Pays Tribute to South.

Ex-U. S. Senator Beveridge of Indi-
ana made speech few days ago in
New Orleans in the in tere is
of the Progressive or "Bull
Moose" party, in which he is
shining light. Mr.. Beveridge repre-
sented Indiana in the Senate as a re-
publican, but when that party refused
to move forward and showed that it
was absolutely controlled by the money
power, he helped to organize the Pro-
gressive party and next to Roosevelt he
and Governor johnson of California are
the most important factors of the new
party. He sees the future of this Sec
tion and in his New Orleans address
paid the following eloquent tribute to
the opportunities and possibilities of
the South:
"Southward the star of the empire
ought now to take its way. The future
belongs to the South if the men of the
South will only have it so. Southern
farm lands, under your rare climate,
yield more for the feeding and clothing
of the world than any like acreage on
earth, and-these fertile fields now give
only give small part of the wealth
they are meant to give and can be
made to give. Southern mines are as
rich in iron, coal and other minerals as
any on the globe, and these storehouses
of usefulness are as yet almost un-
touched. Southern water power is
greater than that of New England or
the Far Northwest, and most of it runs
Embarrassed to the sea. Southern tim
Der equals the stumpage of that of
Russia, and the greater part of it is
still unused.
''The place of the South on the map
of the world ought to make it the heart
of industry and civilization. The great
est system of waterways on the globe
gathers into mighty trunk line which
pours through the South to find its
outlet in your Southern Gulf. This vast
protected sea is an ocean in itself, Civ
ing to the South trade advantages that
if used would be unrivaled. The Pana-
ma canal opens the commerce of man.
kind to the South more than to any
other single part of the republic. From
| Norfolk, Va, to Galveston, Texas, the
South has a chain of seaports, the
poorest of which is better than the
best German seaport and the best Of
which are as good as those of England
"And the people of the South are a:
lyet of almost pure descent from the
first American stock, Theirs is love
for that idealism which alone make!
. prosperity worth while and which alon,
can save the present day craze fo
money-getting from rotting the hear
of the nation. Theirs, too, is an apti
tude for craftsmanship and gift TO
, public thinking coming down from fore
fathers whose work in founding the re
public is one of the priceless tradition
of the American people.
'The South has only to take he
