VARDAMAN CAFFlNG PRESIDENT WILSON.

Senator Vardaman belitues himself and does not only his own
people, but the people of the entire South an injustice, when he
says "f cotton were grown north Of Mason & Dixon's line" the Will
son administration would long ago have been shaking its fist in Eng.
lands face abou, making cotton contraband. The appeal 10 Sec
tional prejudice is resorted to now only to brace up a cause or a
statement that is on clutches. The South is certainly at the helm
in the direction of affairs under this administration and President
Wilson is meeting the issues, as they come one after the other quick
and fast, in a wise and patriotic manner and without regard to what
section of the country is most concerned. Vardaman can only keep
himself in the limelight by bucking the traces. He can not make a
steady pull nor will he do team work.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-10-01

Last year the cotton exchanges keeheed and sud, "Oh, you see
what we wer worth to the farmers when open, stop the future mar
kt and you strike a fatal blow to the cotton farmer" We did not
believe then there was anything in what they said and present
prices prove that we were correct. The fact is the low price of cot
ton last fall and winter was caused by the chaotic condition of
finances brought about by the European war and the knowledge,
too. that an immense crop was in sight. This year it is evident that
the number of bales made will be much below what it was last year
and the country has recovered largely from the shock in finances
brought about by the war. The farmers themselves have helped
the price upward by decreasing cotton acreage and planting more
feed stuHs.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-10-01

Senator Vardaman critlcises President Wilson for his conduct
of affairs with England and says that he (Vardaman) is getting
tired" of the Presidents way of doing things and insists that Mr..
Wilson should put it up to England. Mr.. Vardaman says this and
at the same time opposes increasing the strength of our navy. 1t is
dollars that talk in the markets of the world but it is battlesbips and
their adjuncts that talk on the great oceans.

Already we can hear whisperings of a senatorial race in ,o,s
We know nothing in the wide world about it but if there a.e but two
candidates, the junior Senator and the Governor elect, We shall cast
our ballot for the latter. Let 'er go, Gallagher!

Good morning, Mr.. Farmer. You are looking pleased; ~ cents

TURKS BU7CHER|NG NON-MOHAMhEDANS IN ASIA
 MINOR AND PERSIA

St. Petersburg, Jan. IA Word from the front in Asia Minor is of disquieting natue. Il tells of the massacree of helpless women and chlldren in Turkish provinces of that
 egion and in Psrsia by the Turkish soldiers and frreg- ulars. the result of the kais- CTS injection of a "Holy War"
 in to the present conflict. Persistent rumors to this eff feet have been reaching this place from Tiflis and other points for some time, but have been looked upon as exager- ations. but the discovery of mutilated bodies of com batants by the Russian ad : vancve guard, proves the truth nf the awful reports. Upon poor Persia is falling the brunt of this fearful scourge, whole villages having been wiped oui by the butchery of the inhab itants and the burning of the buildings, the country being overrun by bands of robbers under the command frequently of German officers. Persia has asked to be allowed to remain neutral, but Turkey evidently does not intend to grant her prayer.
