the big opening event of the American
League season. The baseball fans of
Boston have been counting the days
since Christmas, and today found them
at a high pitch of enthusiasm for the
home team. Already bets are being
placed on the Red Sox for the cham
pions for a second time. The team is
certainly a strong one, and the spring
training has put the men in splendid
condition for the hard contests of the
season.

President Wilson a Fan.

Washington, April 10.-Presiden
Wilson is expected to use his Presi
dental baseball pass freely this sea
son. He has been invited to pitch the
first ball at the opening game here
this afternoon between the Washing
ton team of the American League and
the New York team. Last year Presi
dent Taft pitched the ball into the
field for the opening game.
1t is not unlikely that President
Wilson will be a frequent spectator
at the big games, for it is known he
is somewhat of fan"
If Jupiter Pluvius permits, thou,

members of both houses of Congress,

and the water drawn off rapidly; this
work, together with the removing of
the distractions of trees and drifts
from the channel of the river, would, |
believe. render the lands alcng the Yal-
obusha absolutely safe for making
crops and free from the disastrous
overflows which we now have.
East of Grenada. magnificent sec
tion of river bottoms both on Schooner
and the Yalobusha, can be developed in
the same way, namely: cutting off the
bends and removing the trees and
drifts from the channel.
The relieving of these lands from
overflow would not only add greatly TO
the county's wealth giving many peo-
pie fine farms where they now have
overfowed woodlands, but the opening
up of the Yalobusha river to navigation
would be of incalculable benefit to ev-
cry farmer in this and adjoining coun-
ties. From the lower freight rates OBJ
tainable as result of river navigation,
not only would all manner of freights
be reduced, enabling the merchants to
sell goods cheaper, but on every bale
of cotton sold the buyers would be able
to pay Is of cent per pound more
than they do now,
Every citizen who feels personal or
patriotic interest in our county well
fare should work for the drainage and
opening up of the Yalobusha river, and
use their influence with our congress
mer for the accomplishment of the de-
sired results.
Yours very truly,
W. B. Hoffa.

Are Hard to Satisfy.

A rather capricious incident was
made in Squire ]. H. Owens court
here last Saturday, when some persons
charged with drunkenness and disturb
ing public worship at Pleasant Grove
church, beat 2, in the eastern part of the
county, were arraignei before his
honor. 1t seems that the case was first
called before VIM. Fenner, j. P, of
that beat, but the accused urged some
objections to Mr.. Fenner sitting in the
case and asked to have the papers sent
to the justice here, which plea was
granted by Magistrate Fenner; but
when the accused appeared here they
evidently were not pleased with the
solemn look of the worthy Squire of
this beat and opined, no doubt, that
they needed more time and that they
could fare no worse somewhere else.
So it was that the alleged offenders
asked to have the cause tried before
another justice of the peace of beat 3,
G. L. POLAND. Accordingly, the case
is to be heard in Mr.. Polland's cour'
June %. Quite number were here a:
witnesses in the cause.

Sustained a Broken Thigh.

As a result of the capsizing Of the
buggy in which he and his grandfather,
J. c. Perry, were riding last Saturday
morning, little Rice Pressgrove has a
broken thigh and is laid up with his
leg in plaster of paris. This occurred
on Mr.. Perry's farm west of town, and
was just one of those things to happen
when you are not expecting II. II
grieved the grandfather very much
that the dear little child should nave
been hurt while with him. but the same
thing would no doubt have happened
had he been with his father and moth
er. The little fellow is doing nicely
and it is hoped that he will have no
setback.

HOFFA ON DRAINAGE.
Communication RepubllShed in View
of Revived Drainage Agitation.

By request the Sentinel reproduces
the following communication from W.
B. Hoffa, which appeared in these col
umns Oct. %, 1909:
Editor Sentinel: Is our citizenship
aware of the fact that Grenada comfy
has over sixty thousand acres of over
flowed lands along the banks of Yalo-
busha river, which are now uncleared
and uncultivated because of the uncer
tainty of raising crops in the bottoms,
incident to the continuous overtiows
to which the lands are subject2
And have our people stopped to think
of the vast undeveloped wealth this
represents and what tremendous ad-
dition to the riches of the county the
bringing of these lands into cultivation
would be?
Do they realize that if these lands
could be reclaimed land it can be done)
that the product of cotton in Grenada
.. county from this source alone. can be
more than doubled, adding over mill
ion dollars annually to the value of the
county's agricultural resources and
over half million to the taxable land
value of the county?
If the above mentioned lands could
be reclaimed, Grenada county could
| make over thirty thousand bales of
| cotton instead of twelve to fifteen
thousand as it does now.
| In the southwestern portion of the
county is section comprising about
25. 900 acres of very fertile land, wes
and southwest of Parsons, which is d
rectly affected by the backing up OF thu
Yalobusha river, owing to the fac
that the water winds through tortu
Gus course called the Ok Bows, be
tween Parsons and point southwes
of Lehore station, it being forty mile
by river, while across the country !
not over three or four miles.
Now for a reclamation of these lands
either by forming them into drainag
districts or by Government aid, with
view of opening up Yalobusha to navi
CATION by steamboats,. If small cana
IS cut across the land referred to, sa
g 1-2 miles, the current would be draw
through the cut so rapidly that it woul
soon make channel for itself, thu
!, cutting off about IS miles in the river
length between Parsons and Dodd
Ferry and relieving the great pressur
and accumulation of water in tn
| country west and southwest of Parson!
, making it tillable land.
Il BY cutting through few small bene
. between Persons and Grenada, the IA
Of the river would be greatly increase

Barn Destroyed by Fire.

Sheriff West had his barn and all of
its contents destroyed by fire last Fri
day night A horse which was in the
stable was badly burned. The fire was
discovered at l O. clock in the morning,
but so far it is unexplained. Mr.. West
resides about mile east of the corpo-
rate limits of the town and hence there
was but little opportunity for him to
fight the flames. There was no insur-
ance, and while Mr.. West takes phi
losophical view of the matter and con-
graduates himself that the fire was no
worse and, as he says. ''while others
are worrying over appendicitis and
other operations, thus far have been
wonderfully blessed in not being affiict-
ed with such troubles.

BREWER HAS GAINED
Special Session Has RedOunded to
Credit of the Governor.

The Commercial Appeal and the New
Orleans Picayune of last Sunday con-
tanned the following telegraphic news
sent out from Jackson:
1t is still far-away cry to the next
state campaign iu Mississippi, which
will develop perhaps toward the END OF
the present year, but there are signs
apparent that the lines OF activity Will
not lie dormant during the intervening
time. Certain matters and transactions
incident to the mississippi levee board
session" which has held the front page
in state affairs during tire week, have
mad the effect of projecting one 'ndi-
vidual personally into the limelight,
whether he would have it so or not.
Gov. Brewer did not call the legisla,,
ture together as matter of political
expediency, but to meet and grapple
with a positive and direct situation.
From political viewpoint, the neces-
sity for an extraordinary session OF the
legislature arising during an admins
tration is regarded as handicap rather
than an Endorsement of the man in the
executive chair. 1t is a responsibility
that every governor shirks from shoul
dering.
Gov. Brewer made every effort in his
mower to avert the responsibility, bu,
the odds were against him. There was
an unusual and extraordinary situation
before him; the people in half dozen
counties in the state had been reduced
to a condition Of dispair and apprehen
sion, fearful of the consequences tha'
might follow a third disastrous over
flow. Their people are heavy ,taxpay
ers and contribute largely to the gen
eral state revenues, and their right Il
relief was unquestionable.
The result of this unusual Situation
and its immediate results, and the ap
plication of the only remedy available
are now matters of official state MS
tory. The cost has come high, but, at
!. ter all, as has been stated during tn
week, the general cost OF the extr
session, distributed among the peopi

question that Gov. Brewer is stronger
today with the people of the state than
ever before. This has been manifested
by the striking incidents of this week,
and the fact that his official actions
have attracted crossfire in the legis-

interesting, and invest the personality
of the chief executive with all the more

Critter Wisdom.

A little pig. just like a growing plant.
needs sunshine. In both cases it seems
to be a sort of tonic that makes the
best development possible.
1t is a great mistake to keep sheep in
a warm pen in winter. Their fleece
protects them, and If they are kept dry
they will require nothing else.
A COW can live or maintain herself on
roughage and she can live and produce
on good pasture grass without concen-
trates. but with the ordinary farm
roughage the COW must have concen-
trates to enable her to produce profta-
bly,.
Raw linseed oil is the best remedy
for constipation. 1t acts more quickly
than any of the other simple remedies.
The COW, having a very complicated
digestive tract, is very hard to treat
for any bowel trouble, but raw linseed
oil will usually act in from ten to
twelve hours. Give a half a pint at 6
dose and repeat in three or four hours
till relief is brought.
