BUILD UP TIRED LAND.

Nature Should Be Helped to Restore
Hard Worked Fields.
[Dr. H. B. Brown. Mississippi station.l
Help nature build up the fields that
have worked too hard and have been
turned out to rest. If grasses, corn
stalks, leaves and other organic mate
rails are left on the land they will de-
cay and add humus to the soil. Where
these materials are burned off, how
ever, all the organic substances are
given off in the form of gases and only
the mineral matter is left in the ash.
The improvement to the land if all
grasses and other growth were allowed
to rot instead of being burned would
be worth millions of dollars to any
state. The destruction of useful plants
Is another harmful result of burning
off the fields. Fire will totally destroy
the seed of all the true clovers, which
are invaluable as soil builders. Many
of the most valuable grasses can be
killed by burning. Even Bermuda will
die if burned repeatedly. Perhaps the
greatest harm is done in the woods by
the killing out of seeds as they drop
from the trees and by killing the young
trees, thus preventing the reproduction
of forests.
Besides the damage done by fires in
the removal of plant food and killing
out of vegetation they greatly hasten
erosion. On the other hand. the corn
stalks and grasses in the fields and the
sage grasses in worn out soils prevent
the rains washing out gullies and help
to hold the water as it soaks into the
ground

A Noted COIOred Divine Here.

The address by DR.. R. C. Morris,
colored, of Helena, Ark, and president
of the colored National Baptist Con-
vention, at the court house Wednesday
night was just such as his race needed.
1t YVES full of wit and the richest humor
all of which the speaker used to drive
home a point and to clinch the PROPOSE
tion he was seeking to present. He
told the negro that the white mar of
the South was his his best friend and
he said the two races..needed;:each other,
that their destinies were inseparably
linked together. He said he was born
a slave and had seen the South in all it's
varying conditions since and that he
loved the white people here better
than ever before. The Doctor is per-
haps one of the broades t and most cul-
tured men of his race. He has a good
face with all the old time sympathies
and interest that never fail to win the
approval of and to get the attention of
the white people. The more such men
as DR.. Morris talk to the colored people
the better for them and their white
friends.

CONFUSION OVER
SPECIAL ELECTION.
Name Written on Ballot Special EIeC.
ton Dist. 3. Causes Election to
be Declared of no Effect.
Two CANDIDATES THAT LED
IN VOTES ASSERT CLAIMS.

1t seems that at the special election
held in district 3 on February 8 for the
purpose of %electing a justice of the
peace and n constable, that there
was a name written on the ballot voted
for constable. There were two names
regularly on the ticket for justice of
the peace, that of ]. W. Gray end W.
u. Merritt. Mr.. C. l.. Clark's name
was regularly on the ticket for con-
stable and the name written on the
ticket for constable was that of Mr..
W. n. Aven. When the returns came
IN and the Election Commissioners saw
what had been done their first impulse,
so they state, was, that all the tickets
were invalid for the reason that thew
were "defaced," and this was but a
natural conclusion for the reason that
the candidates whose names were
printed on the ticket met all the legal
requirements by getting up a petition
the necessary number of days before
the election, with the required number
OF electors on same, asking the Com
missioners that their names appear on
the ballot to be printed for the two
Offices.
The man whose name was written on
the tickets for constable had the same
opportunity, and the printing was with
out cost to any candidate. The com
missioners no doubt reasoned that it
was hardly fair to those who got up
petitions in the regular way to allow
the 18th hour man to bear off the palm
of victory. They state that they
sought legal advice and that two lead
ing lawyers of Grenada practically told
them that there was a cloud upon the
election, hence they decided that it
was best for all concerned to mark out
and start over.
Now m Mr.. W. H. Aven, whose
name was written on the ballots for
constable, and Mr.. j. w. Gray, whose
name was regularly on the ballots for
justice of the peace, and state that
they claim their commissions by virtue
OF the former election in which conten-
tion they appear to be sustained by
letters which they have from the
States Attorney Generals office. These
two gentlemen state that they expect
to file the necessary bonds for justice
of the peace and for constable and that
they shall insist that they are duly and
properly elected officers for their dis
trlct.
In view of the fact that at special
elections all names appearing on the
ballot must be placed on by petition, it
a readily be understood how doubt
might arise IN the minds of the CON-
missioners of to the legality of a ticket
with a name written thereon. The
Sentinel feels warranted in saying the
Election Commissioners had no personal
interest whatever in the election and if
any error has been committed by them,
it is purely accidental and Gle of judg-
ment.

OF the audience which heard the three
concerts on Tuesday, Wednesday and

have been larger, because the music

were in it. Counting the Ais choris-

were twice as many people in the

has been sincere and he has given
evidence of great artistic msstership.
His symphony deserves place in the
schemes Of the orchestras like those
of Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Cincinnati, where it may
be heard twice inside of a week, and
its meaning and beauty made plain.
It was conducted by the composer, and
the orchestral players honored them
selves ard showed their appreciation
of a fine fellow hsndicraftsman by
playing their best, which is of the
worlds best. The audience listened
with rapt attention and gave express
sion to an honest interest and a keen
desire to enjoy; but this music needs
trained listeners as much as trained
performers.

Very different in every respect was
the new composition contributed by
Hr. Percy Granger TO the festival
scheme. Serious in purpose, yet light
hearted and merry in spirit; far ad-
vanced along latter-day lines in har-
monte structure, yet barking back TO
primitive times and peoples; calling
up echoes Of darkest Africa, an
rhythms and color, and mingling them
with extreme sophistication in utter
ance, his suite entitled "In Nut
Shell" sounded much like the clever
joke Of born mischief-maker. a
battery Of auxiliary percussion In
struments Of pitch brought up the
thought that he was seeking TO intro
duce vaudeville apparatus In polite
rooms; the employment OF melodies
which savored of the music hall that
he was trying also TO give that type
Of music responsibility. In a way
both efforts seemed the expression OF
a phase Of the present large and
growing interest in folk-music, and
1t would not be altogether fantastic
to say that, despite the radiealness
Of harmonic expression shared By the
two works, Mr.. Grainger's bit Of must
cal merriment was a protest against
the artistic principle involved in Mr..
Loeffler's grandiose work, the principle
which, expressed in an excess OF
elaboration, defeats its own ends.
Mr. Changers work calls for no
analysis, invites little criticism, but
Is pleasant matter for description and
