RAILRoADERS SAY PASS
Pill e Is OIL AS EXPOSITION

In justification for making the an
nouncement that railroad men are not
going to be given free transportation to
the Pacific coast exposition next year.
railroad officials assert that the rule
that is TO be adopted Is about as old as
cxpositions themselves.
AS long ago as when the Centennial was
held in Philadelphia in 1876, the railroad
men assert that transportation was cut
off and that the only railroad employees
who rode free were those holding annual
passes. The same rule was adopted at
the time OF the New Orleans exposition,
the Worlds fair in Chicago and the st.
Louis exposition.

owed, and the dollar helped pay it.
And the dealer paid his bill in few
days, which was at the end of another
month, and where did this dollar, loos-
ened by Mr.. Farmer, find itself next :?
Right back in the hands of Mr. Farm
er himself, and if this was a fairy
tale the dollar would have spoken to
Mr.. Farmer and told him of the trav-
els he had taken, and the good he had
done casting sunshine wherever he
had been paid out and received. And
Mr.. Farmer and his 'Mommer'
would have felt the satisfaction Of
knowing that their act of loosening
their purse strings and paying their
bills had done good, and it is certain
tney could have meditated on "the in
teresting things dollar can dow And
it is reasonable to think that they
would continue to do their part in
keeping money in circulation"
Healthy Circulation
"What is your idea of healthy con-
dition Of circulation of money!" the
banker was asked His reply was:
'The circulation Of money, and the
prevention Of condition Of tightness
in finances does not mean that we
should take sum of money and go
out on shopping tour, making pur-
chases just for the sake Of spending
money and calling it circulation.
Rather does it mean that everyone
with money to spare and owing bills,
instead Of declaring a moratorium
should pay the bills. That is natural
circulation, and will keep money in
and there will be no hard
times nor tightening Of money. Max
ing purchases for the sake Of spend
ing money is merely artificial circula-
ton. The paying Of debts is real cir
culation.
Here, then, is a chance for every
one to put their money into circula- |
ton, and to derive the enjoyment Of
knowing that, al such times as these,
there are many interesting things
dollar will do.H--Troy Times.

MANcHEsTER's i5oTH BIRTHDAY
A Proper Celebration TO be Held on
Thursday, October lst

One hundred and fifty years Az
this summer the pioneers Of Manehes
ter made their way though the vii
derness and began the first clearingi
in the south part Of the town.
The celebration Of this event ha'
been a subject Of discussion for mor'
than year and a committee which
ha the matter in charge tried faith,
full. to work out some plan which
would be acceptable to the whole com
munity. Owing to our preoccupatior
with the summer business and espec-
tally with the coming Of the National
Golf Tournament ii was thought i'm
practicable to do anything and it was
finally decided to let the matter rest
But with the coming of fall, interest
was revived and at meeting Of the
Manchester Improvement Association
on August 29th there was a full dis
cussion Of the subject and unani-
nous opinion on the part of those
present that the anniversary ought
not TO pass unobserved. Definite ac-
ton was deferred until the next meet
ing which took place at Mrs. j. J..
Gunther's on Sept 14th. Twenty-Five
persons were present and a plan for
the celebration was outlined which
was heartily accepted by all.
1t was decided to hold a Birthday
Party" on Thursday, Oct. LIST, at the
Gymnasium with program as fol-
lows.
From to 6 o'clock in the afternoon
an old time visit" to which all per-
sons in the town over 70 years Of age
are specially invited and all others
who would like to come. For this
a program historical and reminiscent
will be provided with some old time
singing, and refreshments will be
served from to o'clock.
In the evening, beginning at s
o'clock, there will be an entertainment
of tableaux and music to be
followed by program of old time
lances; the music for which will be
by fiddler instead of the
modern orchestra.
Besides these there will be loan
collection or exhibition of historical
'elics illustrating the life of the com
nunity during the century and half
# its existence.
The following committees were
hosen and although it has not been
'ossible, because of the shortness of |
ime, to learn whether all those
ppointed will accept the responsibility
nany OF them have already done so.

$500 ~ GREN:4D4 FOR PE.4CE JUBILEE

We regret that the lower house of the state legislature refused
last Friday to pass the appropriation for the grand Peace Jubilee to
be held on the battlefield At Ncksburg October Is, next; and still
more DO we regret the acumonous. speeches opposing the appro
praIOn. We are surprised at what tell from the lips OF some OF the
old soldiers in that body. and it is a matter of sorrow that at this
day. forty-nine years since the war closed. the spirit of rancor and
rage should rule in the breast OF any brave son, of this beloved sec
ton, VINO bore arm N those days which called for that chivalry and
patriotism that is shown only BY the truest and best Of mankind.
There Is no Laurel too rich to place upon the brow of the Conteder-
ate soldier. Their deeds will last until time shall be no more and a
halo OF beauty will attend them when they enter the streets of that
pearly paved city. But true love and admiration for them should
make US view the past with the christians eye while marching to
the future with that hope which is inspired by Him who taught,
forgive seventy times seven The same rights that we claim for
ourselves we must accord to others. We fought against our neigh
bors, our blood and our kin and we can not wisely deal with the
present by harboring that which is i'll of the past. Our hand is out
to the brother who wore the blue; his destiny is our destiny; our fate
must be his fate; his children must share the richness of the future
with ours and our children must meet the ills that his meet. We are
indissolubly joined together. We, together, make up the greatest
government the world ever knew. We must have the Peace jubilee,
and if the Legislature does not make the appropriation, the loyal
raise by private subscription enough funds to enable the state to
perform in a credtable manner the office OF host on this memorable
occasion.
Grenada will raise $500 to promote the Peace Jubilee if other
towns and communities in the state will Join in the movement. 1t
will be a reflection upon this proud commonwealth not to do hand
somely the honOrs of this occasion. The event will be epoch ma
king in the history OF the state. People will come here from all
parts of the Union and we can i'll afford not to do the gracious, hos
ptable act. Aside from the sentimental feature, the gathering will
be worth much in a material way and we should see that all who
come go away with the usual impressions Of our people-that they
are the best on earth. This peace convocaton should be the means
of our garnering many good citizens TO our borders from other com
monwealths. We repeat. Grenada is SC much interested in the
movement that she will give 5000 to help make this great occasion
what it should be. Let other communities speak out.

LET HIN run

There are some overzealous friends of the late G I. Smith who
are urging him to become a candidate for prison trustee at the next
clection-a place from which he was removed by the courts after
having been indicted by a grand jury and his guilt pronounced by IL
Jurors. Only a few days ago Smith was padoned by Gov. Brewer
because some.of the states best doctors said be had lncipient con-
Only endanger his life, but that OF other prisoners; and now that
Smith is out, a free man, he Is being induced by other men charged
with crime, we are persuaded against his better judgment and
against the better elements of his nature, to mahgn ana traduce the
Governor, the man who gave him his liberty and who saved him
from prison stripes. So we say. # his political friends want to make
SMITHS conduct their standard OF living and fathfulness to the peo-
pie, they should at least be given an opportunity to register their
standard at the polls.
The Port Gibson Reveile. Smiths home paper, gives him the
following admonition about staying out of the race:
believing, as did many others, that the Smith punishment was
severer than the ofenst justified, the Reveile commendS Governor
Brewers course in committing the pententiary sentence. This pa
per condones no inhaction OF the law, especially on the part OF
those holding high positions. yet it IS Just as much opposed to the
infection of extreme penalties. Mr. Smiths avowed intention of
"vindicating himself at the polls is a unwnse course, however, and
it is to be hoped that after more mature reflection his better Judg
ment will decide a different course. Retirement to private life
would be more becoming. and might save additional suffering. Even
an election could not oblterate the court record
5. Joe Owens. who is identified with the faction Smith has
trained with politically. says editorialy IN his paper the New Alba
ny Times, OF Smith:
at is reported that former Pententary Trustee c. c. Smith,
who was pardoned last week by Governor Brewer, will be a candi-
date during the coming election. We would think that after his re-
cent experience with politics and ofice-holding Smith would be con-
tent to pursue the simple life on his lnsmore plantation
The Jones County News, published in his district, also COM
to again offer for public Office. The people ar in no humor to place
a man in charge OF their business who needs to be vindicated. The
wisest and best thing this man can do is to hunt some hole, crawl
into that hole and then pull the hole in after him.
In referring to Smith as Late" we have reference to official
connections and doings.

THE QUIZ VILLE GATHERING, .4PRIL To

There is to be a great gathering in Louisville. KY, April 10, at
which time there will be farmers, merchants. bankers, preachers,
lawyers, doctors, editors, women and school workers; Inc purpose
.ot the meeting is to foster the "home, the school and the church for
country life" and permanently organize for promoting the business
of farming. Is there anything wrong about farming? Ask those
who farm. Has the business of farming kept pace with the pro-
gress of other callings? Ask the farmer.
There is but one answer to each of the above queries. This be-
ing true, the question arises, Who is responsible? Our answer is
the fact that there is a farm awakening throughout the land. Old
things re passing away and in their stead are new plans directed by
trained minds. Everybody is interested in the success of the farm;
this is true even from a selfish standpoint. IT the farmer has not at
tanned that measure OF success that he should in the past, then it be-
hooves him to adopt new plans and to try, at least for a few years.
the methods endorsed by the agricultural colleges of the country
The trained mind is better in any field and the skilled agriculturist
tells that we should organize associations TO. selling garden, orchard
and farm products, for marketing poultry and eggs, for livestock
breeding and selling and for the handling OF dairy products. The
one agency affair to cope with the present age is impotent. We
must have organization to aid. The Louisville meeting is very i'm
oortant one and will no doubt have a farreaching effect on the at
fairs of the South and West. We hope Mississippi. will be we'll rep
resented.
