William Greger, inspector for the
harbor board on the new concrete
piers at the foot OF Fort street, is to
receive a letter from that body tell

This was the decision Of the harbor
commissioners late yesterday after
noon in the regclar meeting following
a resolution relative to the fight which
the inspector had with Richard Ives, a
former employee Of the Lord-Young
Engineering Company, several weeks
ago.
The resolution decided that Ives had
made premeditated assault on. Greg
er. though Judge Monsarrat in police
court had called il an ARRAY and
thrown the case out OF court. The
request is made that the contractors
discharge Ives. but as the latter has
already Quit the work this will not be
necessary.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN
AGRICULTURAL LINES

Farming work is progressing
rapidly. The pillow is turning the
sod on many acres Of fertile land
in Alcorn county, and our busy
farmers are head over heels with
work. The farmer is making good
use of the early spring weather,
and prospects are good even at
this early time.
Reports from every section of
the county indicate that farm
work is being ushed as rapidly as
possible, and the majority of
planters have the situation well
in hand.
Much of the ground has been
broken, and is now ready for the
planting, which will follow in due
season. In fact much small grain
and some early corn and cotton
has already been planted, and in
dications are that within few
weeks the fields will be green
with the growing crops.
It looks again like a great deal
of cotton. Fertilizer has moved
out of Corinth the past two
weeks at a lively rate, and while
it is an evident fact that much
cotton will be planted, the Alcorn
county farmer is showing a dis
position more and more each year
to diversity his crops, and several
crops will be raised this year,
, where heretofore it has been
chiefly cotton.

CORINTH BARRACKS
LEAD IN CONTEST

The Baraca Class Of the First
Baptist church is still in the lead
by a good margin in the contest
between the classes of jackson,
Meridian and Columbus. The con
test is half over, there remaining
about three months yet, in which
time the local class expects to
continue their good work, only
making it better.
Last Sundays class showed an
attendance of II, giving Corinth
a lead of about 40 per cent.
On next Sunday, Rev. j. R. G..
Hulett, pastor Of the Baptist
church at Charleston, will be in
Corinth, and will make an address
before the class. He will also oc-
cupy the pulpit in the absence Of
the pastor, Rev. r. S. Gavin, who
is in Charleston, conducting re-

THE CAUSE OF ANAEMIA

1t is universally known that
iron is very important element
Of the blood, and lack of it is the
direct cause Of rundown condi-
tons and anaemia. It may inter
est our readers to know that the
II. E. Walker Drug Co., Of Cor
NTH have in Vinol a reliable, con-
stitutional remedy for such con-
ditions. Vinol supplies iron to the
blood in it's most soluable state,
then there's the nourishing prop
critics Of beef peptone and the
medicinal curative extractives of
fresh cod livers, without oil, all
dissolved in a pure native tonic
wine. That s what makes Vinol
SO successful in overcoming run
down and anaemic conditions.

Is Our Navy Ready?

Is our navy ready for war? Adj
miral Fletcher recently stated III
the hearings before Congress that
his fleet is undermined. Admir-
al WINSTON declared that one hos
tile battle cruiser could sink his
entire fleet. There are ten battle
ships and some forty cruisers and
destroyers in the navy yard
docks. The assistant secretary OF
the navy testities that the navy
is short about $4,000 men.
Now the practical question is
not to bother about fixing the re-
sponSibillty for this lamentable
condition of affairs. The thing
to do is to find remedy, and the
remedy lies with Congress. 1t
should at once appropriate more
money for ships and should make
enlistment more attractive. 1t
matters not whether the preSl-
dent, the secretary of the navy,
the naval officers, or Congress it.
self should be blamed for what
has been left umdone in the past.
The paramount need is to begin
a policy Of preparedness that will
prepare.
The United States is not going
to war unless war should be fore
ed upon us, as was the punitive
expedition after Villa. But IN
this time of war and rumors Of
war, with nearly all of the great
nations engaged in deadly combat
we can never tell when the ag-
erosion of some foreign country
may make keeping the peace upon
our part inconsistent with proper
self-respect. An adequate navy
is peace-insurance, for it makes
the cmperors and kings respect
us. 1t is all very we'll for Uncle
Sam to be a strong man. but in the
present parlous period it is neces-
sary to be a strong man armed.
The lingo cry, "We've got the
ships. we've got the men, we've
got the money, too, would be
joke in the United States Army,
where we have got the money, but
we have not cot the ships nor the
men.-New Orleans American.

AUTHORITY SAYS THERE
Is HOPES OF PEACH CROP

T. J. Sharp, one of our most re-
liable men, and authority on many
subjects, stated yesterday after
noon to a representative Of The
Corinthian that peaches had not
been killed, despite the backward
spring and heavy frosts of few
days ago. However, he said, it
is possible and very likely that
they are blighted, and some OF
them may drop off the trees. but
they look healthy now, and APP
parently are unhurt. Mr.. Sharp
had just closely examined the
fruit Oh his place.

A STUDY TN CONTRASTS

Indeed, the charge has even been made in England that some of the prisoners of war were pampered, which again is
 in contrast to what Germany does, since over there when the British sent some prisoners of war to France where they are being used as workers. but not under the conditions obtaining in Germany, the German authorities, though they had been working the British prisoners since the beginning of the war; considered the act outrageous, and as warning and ill reprisal shipped a large group of prison CTS into service in Poland, a kind of Si- berian exie Under the circumstances one can we'll believe that German prison CTS of the Fernch or English write home that their camps are palaces while 1t Is incredible that any British prisoner in Germany who Is housed in the indus trial camps where their service Is pay- celed out very much as the south here has parceled out its negro criminals, could declare that his accommodations were palatial unless he were unbalanced And while it is known that official Ger many is still contemptuously indifferent to the criticisms of outsidtrs, the work of critics like Doctor Curtin will tell some day, and in the final reckoning there will be an accounting for all the un- necessary and unprovoked savagery of which any of the. combatants may be guilty It Is unlikely the world has heard the last of the German industrial prison caInDS

PURE FOOD ENGLISH

From the Pittsburg Post.
 With reference to fine discrimination in the use of the we'll known English language, it is possible to overdo the thing.
 Diving into the trunk of recollections for the suitable illustration to adorn this remark and point the moral, we find it in Richard Mansfields occupancy of the Garrick theatre in New York days of hi- larlty on that stage.
 To Mansfield this theatre was a tenn pie. He tolerated no lightly spoken ref erences to 1t. One day, when an attache reported, Mansfield gave instructions and started for his dressing room.
 I'll see you after the show said the business lieutenant in parting. After the showr repeated the actor manager, with dignity. Are. we acro- bats?"
 After the performance replied his associate, humbly. The performance!' exclaimed Mans field. Are we ants?'' I'm very sorry" mumbled the crushed manager; "Ill see you after the play, I sir"
 T shall be pleased to see you then, answered Mansfield.

Keep Up the Work for
 School Tax Annendmnem

lGEW measures ever proposed in x Alabama for ratification at the polls have aroused so much interest as the school tax amendment, which seeks to give the people of each coun- ty the right to levy small special tax for school purposes. All the edu- cators of the state and hundreds of public-spirited citizens in various callings have worked earnestly for the amendment, and now as the campaign is approaching its close it is believed decisive majority in favor of the proposed change in the constitution is assured. But nothing should be taken for granted.
 In view of the crying need of more schools and better schools in this state it is well nigh inconceivable that any citizen would vote against this amend ment, and yet organized opposition tc it is said to have developed.

F. Morris, at 8 o'clock tonight, ano that there was general regret that MT Morris was forced to give up his pas torate, due to the laws of the Methodist conference.
 The Rev. Dr. Norris said MT. Bran don, has been with the Fountain Heights Methodist church for four years and he Is just the right kind of pas tor for us folks out there. We like him. and we want to keep him, but the rules of the Methodist conference are such that a minister must change pastorates al least once every four years, regardless Well, we can't keep pr. Morris with us' but we can give him farewell reception and that is what we propose to do on Friday night. All the members of the Fountain Heights Methodist church are invited and we hope to give our pastor a happy send-off.''
