Attention has been called to the
fact that about the year 56 B. G.
julius Caesar wrote in his war
dispatches: "Of all the people of
Gaul, the Belgae are the creates.
warriors" The modern represent
tatives of the ancient tribe of
which Caesar had practical knowl-
edge have maintained the reputa-
tion in a manner that has won the
admiration of the world-unless
we except Germany, and Germany
will hardly be an exception, be-
cause good fighters have a way OF
admiring each other.
The defense of Liege will 90
into history as one of history's
greatest events, and it will be re-
membered for all times in their
favor that the fight ofthe Belgians
was essentially fight for liberty.
They have. as matter of tact
been fighting for liberty in that
region a considerable part of the

The Cause.

The Jackson News takes our
neighbor to ask its defense of
President Whitfield.
The real cause of Mr.. Whitfield
changing his faculty somewhat
is because certainlmembers there
of were legislated out Of Office jim
the abolition by the legislature of
the Ilower classes and for the
further reason that other MEM
bers were not in harmony with
his administration and that is all
there is to it.
A determined effort has been
made to misrepresent his posi-
tion by inuendo and insinuation
to the effect that he has charged
the instigation and authorship of
the IS. T. Payer" letter to these
ladies when President Whitfield
has made no such charge. The
attempt to force him to deny
charges he has never made will
! fail. Columbus Dispatch.

Clover Seed Goes Up.

I want to say to those who have or
dered crimson clover seed through me
that on account of the European war
prices on this seed have advanced from
6L to II cents per pound. Most of our
clover seed are imported from Germany
and the seed houses in this country
failed to get orders filled before the de-
claration of war. / am ready to re-
turn the check of any one who doesn't
care to pay that price.
My advise to you, is to put the money
that you sent me into crimson clover
and get what you can. You will not be
paying more than $3.50 an acre to sow
and considering the benefit the land will
receive IL cents is not too much to be
prohibitive. An acre of this will add
at least So worth of nitrogen. Some
people are paying 15c per pound and
say they would pay zoe rather than
miss getting them. shall hold the
checks for few days and if l hear
nothing to the contrary shall order the
seed.
There is little likelihood of conditions
being better even year now and my
advice is to buy even at the present
price. A home seed man in Meridian

Report of Grand Jury.

To the Honorable T. c. Kimbrough Judge Of the
circuit court of Noxubee county, Miss, August
term, 1914.
We, the grand jury Of Noxubee coun-
ty, respectfully report unto your honor
that we organized on Monday, the 18th.
day of August, 1914, and have set for
four days; we have examined "a wit
nesses and have returned four indict-
ments.
We find that for the most part, the
county is very law abiding and that
very few crimes have been committed.
We feel it proper to state in this con-
nection that this good condition of af-
fairs and the fact that the grand jury
can SO easily, quickly and thoroughly
do it's work is due to the efficient per-
formance of his duty by the county at
torney. We think the Office has result
ed in improving criminal conditions and
saving much expense to the county.
We have examined the books of the
various county Offices and they are
neatly kept, and we believe fully and
truly kept. We have examined the
county Jail and poor house and we find
that the Jail is sanitary and the prison
ers we'll treated and kept and we find
the poor house in good sanitary condi-
tion and the inmates well cared for and
in good condition.
Your honor in your charge to US di-
rected that we investigate the expendi-
lures made by the good road commits
sioners in various districts of the coun-
ty. In pursuance to such direction we
have examined the expenditures of the
road commissioners in district number
one and find everything correct and sat
isfactory. We have not examined the
expenditures in the other districts fol
lack of time.
We thank your honor for your able
and instructive charge tn the grant
Jury and for the courteous assistance
you have rendered US, as have the dis.
trict and county attorneys.
Respectfully,

Letter From Hon. Chas. Scott.
(From the Commercial Appeal)

In a letter dated Aug. 8, re-
ceiyed yesterday by A. Y. Scott
from his father, the Hon. Charles
Scott of Rosedale, Miss, who is
still detained in London. Mr..
Scott gives an interesting sketch
of the scenes daily being enacted
in Lendon and the feeling among
the people there regarding the
war.
Mr.. Scott wrote in part:
"This old town has been all excite
ment for DAYS since-all too slowly. l
think Great Britain declared W ar
against Germany. Had it not been for
the daring and brilliant fighting of the
Belgians at Liege during the past three
DAYS the German Emperor would now
be on the way straight to Paris and a
victory which would have made him
master of Europe. if not of the world.
The Liege victory cost him the loss of
thousands and the loss of much time.
However, Great Britain may have time
to Join tie French with enough troops
to hold the Germans in check until the
Irish. Scotch and Canadians get here
and, X. sther. give them real licking.
rHitsrSs.nwhile, as Iwrote Josh Skinner
today, the marching soldiers, the bag
pipes and other martial music, the ban
ners and standards on all sides recall
days of my youth. AS write the bag
pipes are playing 'The Campbelle Are
Coming" and looking out on Regent
can see company of Highlanders
marching with swinging grace that
makes one feel good, while thousands
applaud or join in singing "God Save
the King" On Oxford Street or Pail
Mall it is all the same.
although the business men are fore
ed to think of the fortunes swept away,
all are determined to win, and | hope
and now really believe from the days
outlook, that perhaps they will after
all. The town is standing the panic
noble and think the worst is past"
Mr.. Scott expects to sail for
home on Aug. 26 with his niece,
Miss Mary Scott, who, with a
number of others, he aided in
getting out of Paris.

Character, Capacity and Capital.

The three component parts OF
credit are character, capacity and
capital = these three, but the
greatest of these is character.
Character is the fine tone OF
your heartstrings. or else, it is
the dull thud of life which seems
to chill you through and through.
Character is t h at something
which points you onward and up
ward in life's work, or else drags
you down to lower and lower
depths as it becomes foul with
the heavier materal of life's
drags. Someone has well said
that character is not something
that is added to your life, but it
is life ITSELF" -
Phillips Brooks said: IS a d
will be the day for any man when
he becomes absolutely contended
with the life he is living, with
the thought he is thinking and
the deeds he is doing; when there
is not forever beating at the
doors of his soul some great de-
sire to do something larger which
he knows that he was meant and
made to do"
Whatever your vocation, re-
solve that under no circumstances
will you ever give your life q
downward trend, but that you
will look upward and struggle
upward, what ever your environ
ment.
You can never build up voul
own character by tearing dowr
the reputation Of others. Yor
cannot make friends by attempt
ing to destroy the reputation Of
others. s.-Scimitar.
