Grenada Citizens Gladly Testify and

It is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills
so far above competitors. When
people right here at home raise their
voice in praise there is no room left
for doubt. Read the public statement
of a Grenada citizen:
w. B. Barnes, circuit court clerk,
303 Lynch ST., says: 81 suffered from
backache and had considerable troub-
lie with my kidneys. 1 was nervous
and sometimes could hardly write my
name. Being on my feet so much

bringing on this trouble. I got q

TRI-COUNTY COLORED
NORMAL DRAWS TO A CLOSE
Much Praise Given Those in Charge
BY Attendants. Citizenship of
Grenada Best Ever.

The Tri-County COlored Normal
which has been in session at the COL
ored school building in Grenada for
four weeks will conclude its work
this week. 4. Fl. Henderson was
director, which of itself is a guaran-
tee of efficient and proper work. The
instructors we're O. T. Henderson,

believed that they all got some mes
sage and much instruction that viii
be Of distinct service to them when
they return to their respective COM
munities and begin work in their
schools. Prof. John Rumble gave the
Normal much personal attention and
has tried to be helpful in every way.
County Superintendent Of Education,
Mckibben, had much to do with get
ting the Normal ct Grenada and is
to be commended for placing work
in the hands OF competent colored
instructors.
Two or three times each week, the
Normal has been visited by different
white citizens of the community who
have made addresses on different
subjects, all of which showed q COM
menGable interest in the colored race
and the betterment of their schools.
All the teachers seemed earnest and
appeared to be laboring diligently to
get the very best results from the
Normal. The white citizens who
talked to the teachers all tried to
make them realize that they should
not only try to teach correctly and
properly the pupils committed to.
them, which they could do only by
properly knowing the subjects to be
taught, but also that these teachers
should preach better morals, better
citizenship and a proper observance
of law.
The following resolutions adopted
by the Normal have been handed The
Sentinel for publication:
Whereas the 1921 session of the
Grenada Tri-County Normal will con-
clude its labor this week; and
Whereas we deem it right and
proper that we should give some pub

the faithfulness and efficiency of our
instructors and that we should say to

Mr.. McKibben, that we are
grateful to him for what he did in
getting the Normal at Grenada, and
that we desire him to express to Prof.

he has done in making these four
of instruction possible.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That

DELTA HAD SNAPPED
FINGERS AT FUTURE
Continued from page II

Continued from page u
ers of the Delta, who had defantly
snapped our fingers at the future, and
adversely, found ourselves suppliants
at the throne of Capital; beggars at
the bachelors of the money lenders.
In plain English, we we're busted,
needing to sell what we had-Cotton
with no one to buy. Needing to buy
what we had not-food-and no
money to buy it with.
Even credit, that ancient friend
and malignant enemy of the Missis-
sippi farmer and planter, turned its
back on us, for those who had been
wont to credit us no longer had the
wherewithal with which to supply our
.grievous necessities. And we were
IN n heck of a fix.
Then came a turn. Help came.
That is help was promised us if we
would agree to do what we never had
done, what we said we could not do,
and as a matter of fact we wer too
ignorant and too proud to undertake
to do. W. had to agree to plant a
certain acreage in cor or other feed
stuff. No agreement nj money. If
wouldn't learn something and
provide for next years feed we could
starve to death this year instead of
next year. We accepted the hard
and humiliating condition. We
planted corn in about the proportion
of twenty acres to each mule. The
cotton planter said this was
not a corn country but he was driv-
en- to plant what he said would not
grow, or starve. He was forced to
show that he didn't know it all or
any part Of it.
And what is the result? He
under and today the Delta
is covered with an almost faultless
corn crop. He maligned the Delta
by saying it would not grow o and
the Delta, accepting the challege,
has produced a crop which assures
food for man and beast for next
year. They say it is only a cotton
and it has produced a crop
Alfalfa worth more money than
the cotton planted on the same acre
age. From a position of shivering
dread in the presence of capital our
of the Delta face a position
IF independence when the present
are in. We know that we shall
not starve and now we may hope
again and dream Of wealth.
But has it done us any good?
we learned that we have been
living in a fatuous dream dependent
lpOn fortuitous circumstances to ma
,erialize into a real condition? Shall
We profit by the sharp lesson given
Is or shall we revert to the old ruin
,us one-crop system? At least we
learne that we have libelled the
Delta when We called it only a cotton
But will we admit the libel
md do better? God knows. We
loubt it.

In the cross Of Christ l glory.
Towering DER the wrecks Of time
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round it head sublime.
When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it CLOVIS with peace and JOY.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds lev lustre to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
In the cross of Christ | glory,

All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.

THE WORLDS SHIPPING.

When one recalls how vast was the
extent of the destruction of merchant
vessels during the Worlds War, large
ly the result Of the German subma-
rine campaign, it is interesting to
note from a recent compilation of fig
ures that the tonnage now af1oat is far
in excess of what it was when Ger
many broke. the peace.
The tonnage of seagoing merchant
vessels launched during the three
years ending December 81, 1920,
comprised 25 per cent of all similar
tonnage launched in the twenty-nine
years beginning with 1892, for which
the complication of Lloyd's Register
of Shipping are available.
Up to 1914 the largest amount of
shipping launched in any year was
3,332,882 gross tons. That was in
1913.
When the war broke there was a
natural decrease in construction. It
was not then appreciated what would
be the effect of a submarine campaign
against merchant shipping. Indeed,
no n conceived that Germany would
disregard all the rules of civilized
warfare and ruthlessly and indis-
criminately sink merchant vessels
both of the belligerent and neutral
countries.
When, however, she made it plain
that Frightfulness was to be her pol
icy and that she was to make no dis
tinction between the Yarship and the
merchant vessel both the nations at
war with her and those with which
she was at peace found themselves
under the necessity of intensive ship
construction. When America entered
the war she addressed herself to ship
construction as one Of the essentials
OF national defense.
The result was that in 1918 the
total launching broke the record of
1913. In that year the worlds launch
ings totaled 5,447,444, Of which the
United States contributed 100000
In 1919 even this record was beaten,
with the launchings of 7,144, $40 tons,
of which more than 4,0O0,0 900 were
the product Of American yards. In
1920, though the war was over, the
world was so anxious to repair the
damages and waste Of the four and q
half years Of struggle, that all rec
ords except in 1919 were smashed.
During the war Germany destroy
ed more than $4,000, 600 tons. Ma
rine hazards accounted for 1880, 600.
Yet today the worlds mercantile
tonnage afloat is greater than it would

No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with a dark brown taste

Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable

Governor J. j. Blaine of Wisconsin
declared that boards of trade and
brokerage concerns were the "main
instruments of speculation which
should either be prohibited or regulat-
ed by state and federal governments"
Speculation and lack Of proper credit
facilities, he declared, we're important
factors (which cause a great breach
between the price Of commodities paid
by the consumer and the price received
by producers" Creation of a system
Of credit extension through state
banks supplemented by cooperative
banking was suggested as a means Of
stabilizing industry ard of preventing
the fluctuations in prices. There is
doubtless much truth in Governor
Blaine's suggestion, but whether the
remedy suggested by him would work
out satisfactorily is mere matter Of
conjecture.

it is understood, and a man of Gem
eral Woods caliber at Manila would
leave no doubt in the oriental mind
that this government means what it
says when it speaks. Clarence B. Mil
Ter, secretary of the republican ma
tional committee, says Japan is seek
ing revenge against the United
States and that Harding proposes to
be on his guard before trouble starts
rather than after. Leading Filipinos
are strongly opposed to the. appoint
ment of military man as governor
general of the islands, but they have
nothing to say in the premises they
must take what the president sends
them. While thousands Of people
would rather see General Wood given
the secretary of war portfolio, it is
clearly apparent that, under existing
conditions in the orient, capable, de-
tcrmired man such as this warrior
is necessary as governor general OF
the Philippines in order to successful
ly handle the situation.

Harvey's Weekly: The statement,
presumably upon authority, that in
1918 there was reported in the United
States only one income Of as much as
five millions, raises the natural in
quiry, Where are our much talked-of
billionaires? Indeed, it might be
asked, Where are all those whose for
tunes are commonly reckoned by hun
dreds of millions? One of two an
swers readily occurs. Either popular
estimates of the wealth of rich men
are grossly exaggerated, or there was
exercised much ingenuity and also a
large degree of courage in the making
out of income-tax returns. Perhaps
a comprehensive answer would com.
prise both of these; the one for some
cases, the other for others.

Social and economic conditions are
not perfect in Minnesota, nor in any
other state in~the union, because they
are the product Of man end mans
works are as yet necessarily imper-
feet. However, the individuals living
in this great commonwealth have
many privileges and blessings for
which they should be devoutly thank
full. Heaven forgive the poor wretch
who can see nothing but evil and dis
honesty in the men who make the
laws of our state, the courts which in
terpret them and the officials who
enforce them. Such man is car
rying his own private little hell right
with him because as Milton wrote in
his immortal Paradise Lost:
'|The mind is it's own place and in
itself
Can make a Heav'n of He'll, a
He'll of Heav'n."
