In his acting before the camera in the
part made famous on the legitimate
stage by William II. Crane in Sydney
Rosenfeld's play, Mr.. Ross gives a new
view Of the effect life in the political
and social whirl of the nations cap
ital has on a breezy western senator
who is making his first appearance on
the national stage. In the way he
carries the Dcnman claim through the
tortuous channels which lead to pass
age, foils the Vaccinations of social
and political parasite who tries to
wreck the lives of two trusting wom-
en-, and finally wins not only the claim.
but the fair girl who will be the chief
beneficiary by the passage OF the
claim, Mr.. Ross presents a new and
striking character, and one which will
appeal to all the finer instincts OF hui
man nature. The perturbation of the
play is q wonderfully beautiful piece
of work aside from the draamtic mer-
its Of the story.

The Storm And The Crops In hsrth Miss.

Aberdeen Examiner
The recent storm aud torrential
rains, blowing down and flooding
the growing crops. has caused deep
gloom to overspread the country for
the last two weeks. Up to that time
the prospect for bumper crop of
corn was never brighter. Since the
rains have ceased In a measure, we
are glad to note marked improve
ment in the corn, and the cotton is
beginning to improve. The boil
weevil has not been so destructive as
was anticipated. 1t is probable that
there has been too much moisture
for the young wesvils to thrive. and
many were drowned by the drench-
ing rams. While is is admitted
that the corn on the low lands is al
most ruined, shat on the hills is de-
veloping nicely and there will DO
considerable corn made. The fall
hay crop is good, as we'll rs potatoes
and peas.

Besides wrecking the Baptist

of the store building formerly oocu-
pied by Candy Bros. and careened
the big livery barn of j. T. Hairston

door. These buildings were about
the only ones seriously damaged by
the wind.
The Mobile & Ohio railroad track
was washed out south of Buccatunna
and the passenger trains were run 10
the washout and back, as they could
not get through to Mobile. This
condition continued until Monday of
this week, when The railroad sue
ceeded in getting trains through 10

This storm coming as is did, in Ju-
" has had more disastrous effect
than anyone we ever had because is
caught the crops in the growing
state and much of them in o condl-
ton which the damage will amount
to a total loss.

EDITORIAL


The steady gains which the allies
are making on all fronts against the
central european powers would seem
to Indicate that the crest of the tide
of victory for the teutonic arms has
been past and that while they may
be able to deliver temporary thrusts
which will retard the progress OF
the Entente Allies to break the ger
manic military power, that its but a
question of time now when defeat
will finally become so cumulative to
them that peace terms will have to
be asked. Ia other words that Ger
many is going to be brought to her
knees. OF course the fortunes OF this
war are too great and have been too
shifting to predicate upon 1t boldly,
but it does seem to loox at last as If
the allies we're going to win and
that they will not have to accept "a
draw" as the final outcome of the
great struggle.

The present trend Of affairs across
the water pertends we'll for business
activities in america and should be-
gin pretty soon to Act as a direct
stimulant IL these gains continue to
hold up few more weeks longer.
Business is cautious but when at last
convinced that the war is going to
go finally in favor of the allies will
not wait the full outcome but open
up greatly in anticipation when such
assurance Is in sight. Even last fall
it hook squirt despite the russian
losses and even that degree of conf
dencs was manifested that the i'm
mense Anglo-French loan for pur-
chase Of war supplies in this country
was floated with our american banks.

Approximate lines will mean great
things for our section Frustrated as
is has become by the great storm

sions from war and general panicky

When Baltimore laid shrouded 10
the ashes Of that great con fagration
which had burned for weeks reducing
to bent and shrivelled debris even
the steel beams of the great sky
scraper structures of that city, the
patriotic citizens there said we will
rebuild, and they did. They had the
same spirit that was in Carthage af
ter the conquering Romans had de-
stroyed it for the first time. Such
was also the spirit that characterized
Galveston when the great hurricane
had laid it low and it was from such
q determination that rose the pro-
tecting seawall round that city that
has been written down as one of the
seven modern wonders of the world.
Such was also the spirit manifested
by San Francisco when the great
earthquake and the flames that burn
ed for days and days that followed it
had shaken and burned that proud
city till most of Its beautiful edihces
had dissolved into a mass of black
ened broken ruins. Can't Greene
county muster 1.-THE of such daunt-
less spirit and manage to emerge
from the calamity which the re-
cent great storm put upon her peo-
pie by the partial destruction Of her
growing crops and other damage.
We believe that such can and such
will be done yea is being done and
that If she has to have outside help
of any consequence 1t will be because
her brave sons who have been bereft
of their (corn) bread crops can't find
to do when cold weather
sets in to convert their willing labor
in coin that will bring in bread and
meat from other sections. OF course
every part OF the country has its
drones, but we don't believe that the
drones of our country are out of
to any other, and that
the main mass of our people will
struggle to remain self-supporting in
so far as possible.

Grenada Sentinel.
And the old whiskey dopers are
making another stand in their effort
to get the liquor law passed by the
legislature referred to the people.
They are a poor poor bunch to stand
for Righteousness or the welfare of
the people," What they are doing
just mean another nail driven In the
box where they will be consigned to
oblivion. The saloon has sounded its
own epltaph. Mississippi will take
no backward step in what the church
es. the fraternal orders. the good
women and vast majority of the
best citizenship of the state have OBJ
tanned in their fight against liquor.
The battle cry is onward. not back
ward. and those who are aiding or a.
betting the whiskey interest in this
fight had best beware when they ask
the people to trust them with official
honors.

Children Should Be Taught Animal Ma
ture.

Farm & Ranch, Dallas, Tex.
No other knowledge is of more
Importance to farmers than the
habits of animals and ways and
means of breeding, feeding and mar
keting animals and their products.
Animals have been important fac
tors in the evolution in this country.
They relieved man of burdens, saved
toll and prevented want. They
made it possible for leisure. tor re-
creation and for education. And
.nan has been able to use animals in
his civilization because he has learned
how to feed. breed and utilize them
in production.
But it is not an easy matter 10 be-
come an expert in handling animals.
Animal husbandry is great science
about which we know little. We
seldom find an excellent Judge of
livestock who was not familiar with
the animals in his youth. Few men
who have not when they were boys
been intimately associated with ami
mails have ever been expert judges
or successful managers. 1t is the
interest that boys find in animals
that causes them to study and be-
come acquainted with them. The
animals are the playthings of youth
and the object of affection when they
grow older.
