Always Making it Safe.

Atlanta, Ca, March 15.-Details of
the methods by which every rail in the
Southern Railways 7,036 miles of track
is annually subjected to the closest in
spection, are given in the March issue
of the Southern News Bulletin in an
an article telling of the steps which the
Southern has taken to prevent derail-
ments resulting from broken rails.
The system of inspection which was
adopted over two years ago is believed
the most rigid and effective possible.
The work is under the direction of the
district engineers and division road
masters and is done by the track su-
pervisors and section foremen, who
closely scrutinize each and every rail
while on their hands and knees and
withleyes close enough to the rail to
detect the slightest discoverable ten
dency toward weakness or failure, and
whenever such are found the rail is i'm
mediately removed. Detailed reports
are made OH eace rail left in the track
so that comparison can be made at the
next years inspection.
The management of the Southern
Railawy feels that this rigid inspection
of every rail over which its traffic
moves embodies every possible step to-
ward the prevention of rail failures. {
feature of railway operation to which
the officials of leading American rail
ways have been giving the closest study
during the past few years.

SUPERINTENDENT HERE
Hon. J. n. Powers Passes Through
Grenada.

State Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation J. N. Powers passed through
Grenada last Saturday afternoon, and
while here several friends called at the
hotel to pay their respects. He was
here just between trains and for only a
little more than an hour. He was en-
route to Lafayette and Marshall coun-
ties, where he expected to visit cou-
pie of agricultural high schools.
Mr.. Powers seemed to be in fine
spirits and was especially felicitous
over the fact that the appropriations
for the common schools and the agricul-
tural high schools had been so much in
creased. The agricultural high schools
are generally regarded as "a child OF
Mr.. Powers, hence they are objects OF
his special care and attention. 1t is his
opinion that such schools fill long felt
want in the state and that they will be
the means of really taking the college
to the country boy and of infusing
progressive agricultural spirit thruou'
the state.
Asked about his being candidate fo
Governor, his answer was, PLENTY O.
time yet. Mr.. Powers was at thu
head Of Grenada city schools for three
years, and has many warm friends ant
personal admirers in this county.

Dies Near kinCaid.

"'Tis said that death loves a shining
mark, and this was truly verified of
Mrs. Tharpe. Yes, Mrs. Tharpe was
indeed a sweet and lovely character;
none knew her but to love her, and she
died as she lived, noble, consecrated
christian.
She had been seriously i'll for nearly
three years and her death was no sur
prise She made heroic effort to hive,
but was. ready for the Savior's call.
So weep, dear loved ones, but not as
those without hope, as she waits for
all; she will gladly welcome you all in
that bright and happy land where there
is no more sorrow, sickness or death.
To her sorrowing husband. sister,
brother and three dear children and
other relatives, look to God for help
and strength He will comfort you all. -
One who knew and loved her.

Prospective Judicial Candidates

1t is nothing short of amusing to hear
the predictions of some citizens as to
the prospective candidates for judges
and chancellors in this district. Some
of them have no more fitness for these
exalted places than has an uneducated
man for the University presidency. Yet
some men have the audacity, commonly
called "unmitigated gall. enough to
run. We are going to publish list of
these prospects from time to time, and
our notion is to make some pretty
pointed comments. We wonder if the
honest, sensible lawyers, business men
and laymen generally, will come right
out and help US in this fight against
jo5-hunters and incompetents2 We are
going to do our duty; will you doyours

The Masters Questions

"If any man serve me, let him fol-
low me: and where | am, there shall
also nv servants be; if any man serve
me, him will my father honor. john
xii :26.
Have ye looked for sheep in the desert.
For those who have missed their way!
Have ye been in the wild waste places,
Where the lost and wandering stray!
Have ye trodden the lonely highway,
The foul and the darksome street?
1t may be ye'd see in the cleaning
The print Of my wounded feet.
Have We folded home to your bosom
The trembling, neglected lamb,
And taught to the little lost one
The sound of the Shepherds name?
Have We searched for the poor and needy
With no clothing, no home, no bread!
The Son of Man was among them
He had nowhere to lay his head.
Have We carried the living water
To the parched and thirsty soul?
| Have We said to the sick and wounded,
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole?''
Have We told my fainting children
OF the strength of the Father s hand!
Have We guided the tottering footsteps
To the shore of the "golden land?"
Have ye stood by the sad and weary,
To smooth the pillow of death,
To comfort the sorrow-stricken,
And strengthen the feeble faith!
And have We felt, when the glory
Has streamed thru the open door
And fitted across the shadows.
That had been there before!
Have We wept with the broken-heartec
In their agony of woe?
You might hear me whispering beside
"'Tis the pathway often go!"
My brethren, my friend, my disciples
Can We dare to follow me? -,
Then, wherever the Master dweiieth'
There shall the servant be!

What Do Beat 5 People Want?

To the people of Beat 5:
A large part of beat 5 is quarantined
from the remainder of Grenada county
and Leflore county on account of the
cattle tick, so that cattle can not be
moved out of this beat. All of the
county north of the Yalobusha river is
free territory now and the remainder
of the county will be free by Oct. l..
We can have beat free by that time
with slight expense and cattle can be
moved anywhere and for any purpose,
if majority of the people wish it. |
take this opportunity to find out what
my constituents desire me to do in this
matter. E. L. Atkinson,
Supervisor, Dist. 5.
