Who Is the Wise Farmer?

One farmer raises his own supplies
OF meat, bread, potatoes, forage, veg
etables, fruits, poultry, etc., etc. His
farm supports itself and his family.
he also raises, say. eight bales of cot
ton on twelve acres of ground which
any good farmer can do. His eight
bales will tuy what clothes his family
needs and other needful things that
cannot be produced on the farm, and
will leave neat little balance to put
in the bank.
Another farmer with as good land
and the same number of acres, will put
all of it-or practically all of it-in
cotton and will gather dozen bales of
cotton and few bushels of ''nubbins 4"
His twelve bales Of cotton will not
net him enough to pay for the support
Of his family and farm. the clothing
and other needful things which both
must have. II the cotton should meet
all demands. there will be no balance
to pp. in the bank and a years labor
Is lost.

The Only Farming that Paws.

Sweet potatoes hardly ever sell fol-
less than seventy-five cents per bushel
and often for dollar. 1t is poor land
indeed that will not yield two hundred
bushels per acre. Two hundred bueh-
sis at dollar bushel is two hundred
dollars per acre. How many farmers
ever make that much on one acre in
cotton? Every farmer should have an
acre or two in potatoes. By having a
few hogs he can provide his own mar.
ket for his surplus potatoes and in
this way sell his potatoes in the form
of meat, for more than dollar a BUSH
Ell. This is diversification.
What is said of potatoes is true of
pease, hay, grain, and other like crops
that thrive in our Southern soil.
Cotton should not be abandoned by
any means, but it should not exclude
.ther crops. Diversification is easy to
practice in the South and diversified
farming is the only farming that pays.

AGED WOMAN IS
BURNED TO DEATH.
1 Chancery Clerk
-,...oo uvrvrc RIRIU round IN
Her Room.

Miss Bette Akin was found dead
IN her room at eleven O'Clock or
last Saturday morning, with prac-
tlcally all her clothing burned off.
Her body was horribly burned, and 50
was the bed which she occupied the
night before, although she was lying
on the floor before she expired. 1t is
mere conjecture as to how her clothing
caught fire, and as to why she did not
give the alarm and cry for help. She
was rooming at the home of Mrs. w. S.
Iomllnson. and it seems that Miss
Akin frequently slept late, and shortly
after breakfast that morning Mrs. Tom
linson had occasion to leave the house
and did not return until nearly IL
o'clock, when she ascertaned the hor-
rible fate that had befallen the unfor-
tunate woman. Her clothing evidently
caught on fire in front of the fireplace
and IN her efforts to extinguish the
flames, she had gone to the bed and
wrapped herself in the bedding but to
no avail.
MISS Akin was about 10 years of age
and was widely known in this and Car
roll counties for her many deeds Of
kindness and love, especially for her
mlnlstrations to the sick. The remains
were inferred Saturday afternoon in
Odd Fellows cemetery after the fu--
neral services from the Tomlinson
home, BY Rev. j. S. Carothers of the
Presbyterian church of which she was
member. Miss Bette as she was
most frequently called, was indeed a
good woman and the fact that she had
no near relatives made her declining
years Ia sense pathetic. In many a
home in the years gone by she had
been almost an angel of mercy.

Rooster In a Juq.

Some skeptical ones do not believe
the story that comes out of Kansas
that, during the Great Bend cyclone, a
rooster was blown into a jug and the
jug had to be broken to get him out.
Always willing to help neighbor when
in tight place, We have no hesitancy
in saying that such thing might have
happened. The wind probably broke
the jug in halves, the rooster hoped
in to escape from the storm, then the
halves of the Jug were blown together
again and flash of lightning fused the
broken parts. Putting a rooster in q
Jug is not difficult matter compared
to some things a newspaper has to do.

vice to every place where it has estab-
lished itself and is credit to Grenada
county and to the state of Mississippi.
Time and space forbid mentioning all
the officers but it is not amiss to saw of
those of the head Bank that President
Thomas is man of discerning mind
and one of Mississippi's strongest char
acters and most useful citizens. He
has a remarkable mind. The Cashier.
Mr.. V. R. Patterson. is a high class
gentleman in every sense of the word
and knows how to do and say the busi-
ness thing in the kindest and most per-
suasive way. He would be a valuable
asset in any enterprise. MIR. B. C.
Adams, one of the bookkeepers, could
hardly be anything but splendid char
acter if he tried. He has many friends
and it is pleasure to do business with
him. Mr.. V. c. Colbert, another
bookkeeper, is comparatively a new
man in Grenada but he measures up to
mis- duties most satisfactorily and has
made friends of everybody. Mrs. w.
E. Smith, the stenographer, knows ev-
cry detail of her work to perfection
and performs her duties so graciously
that it is almost pleasure to see her
work.
1t is not improper to say that Fred

'esn janitor for so long. is a good
larkey and enjoys the absolute conf
ience of the entire community.

Major General Leonard
Wood Tell of Unprepar-

DE- AssocrArrn pRrsa.

Washington, Jan. 19.--Major-G ener-
al Leonard Wood today told the SEN
ate military committee that the coast
line of the United States is open to
attack by any well organized foreign
army, despite It's equipment of forts,
mines and submarines and that oceans
form no serious barrier to an invasion
He declared that In this country's
present state of utter unpreparedness
for war trained force of one hun
bred and fifty thousand could infiict
fncaleulable damage, before an army
could be assembled to meet It.
After pointing to the way In which
an Anglo-French army was landed at
Gallipoi with mines, submarines, and
underwater barbed wire protection
and declaring that troops cannot be
improvised to meet regulars, General
Wood declared that the fundamental
basis of any policy Of adequate ma
tional defense must be that with the
principle of suffrage goes the obliga-
tion for military service. He also de-
clared there won't be any weakness
abroad after the war because more
male children win be born than have
been killed.
He urged as an, immediate need Of
the army, that the force of regulars
with the colors be maintained at two
hundred and ten thousand, with six
year enlistment system, SO that the
men might be discharged at the end
of that time and placed in reserve.
He declared there should be no
connection between the reserves and
the present state militia, which he
said was composed of tone personal,
but cursed by hopeless system" He
also declared there is not enough ar
tillery and reserve rifles and not
enough potential officers for the
United States army in time of war.

SWEDISH KING
URGES HASTY
DEFENSE
Considerable Anxiety Was
Aroused Over Speech at
Parliament.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 19.-The Politiken of
Copenhagen, as quoted by the Ex-
change Telegraph Company CORE
spondent there says that anxiety has
been aroused in Stockholm blythe
speech at the opening Of the Swedish
parliament by King Gustave, who
urged vigorous preparation of nation
al -defensas in view of the disregard
on the part of belligerents of neutral
rights.
The situation is a source of concern
in Stockholm, the correspondent says,
on account of the seizure by the Brit
ish last week of a large quantity of
provisions from the Swedish-Ameri-
can steamship Stockholm, from New
York for Stockholm.
The action of the British author
tiles is criticized sharply by the
Swedish press which expresses the
opinion that the value of the goods
seized cannot be regarded as any
thing like an adequate Offset to the
effect of the incident on relations be-
tween Sweden and Great Britain.
Some of the Swedish newspapers
state that such actions are worse than
an open rupture.
Hjalmar Branting, Socialist leader
IN the second Swedish chamber, who
recently visited the allied front in
Flanders, is quoted by the Social
Demolraten as saying that he prefers
decisive action day too early rather
than a day too late, in order to save
Sweden from complications.
at is noted that King Gustave in
his speech from the throne did not
make the usual reference to the good
relations of Sweden with foreign
powers" the correspondent adds.

fairs are expected during the ses-
sion"

MAILS RAISES
ACUTE POINT
Great Britain and Sweden
Engage In a Rather
Sharp Dispute
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 19.-The controversy
between Great Britain and Sweden
over the detention of mails has reach
ed an impasse with both sides stub
bornly refusing to allow its rivals
mails to be expedited through the re-
sective countries. Sweden now is
holding an enormous quantity of the
English post destined for Russia,
while mail is being taken from every
Scandinavian liner brought into Kirk
wall, Scotland.
Vigorous representations are being
made by the diplomats of both coun-
tries, but the controversy presents so
many novel features that extensive
debates may be expected.
Neutral diplomatic circles here are
more concerned over the detention of
mails than any other fact arising
from the British blockade.
The foreign office here takes the
definite stand that no parcel, no mat
ter what class of postage it bears, is
no more entitled to protection than is
ordinary freight. The neutral coun-
tries have not yet controversial this
stand, but base their OBJECTIONS on
interferences and delays to which
actual first class postal correspon-
dence has been subjected.
