the business man gave for caring for
the nickels. Take care Of the nick
els and the dollars will take care Of
themselves" Develop your roads
and other lines of travel win follow.
Well worked roads promote sociabili-
ty, increase business, invite immigra-
ton, encourage schools, shortens dis
lance, remove isolation, bring about
a community OF interest between
heighborhoodS and the town and the
country. With regard to public
roads we are behind the wheels of
progress in other lines of our country's
development. But we are glad to say
that public attention is being turned
to these deficiencies and from many
quarters comes the cry for better
common thoroughfares.
Our Board of Supervisors have tired
of the overSeer system and have de-
termined to work the roads by con-
tract, which will neceSsitate a road
tax. The overseer system has been
amply tried and few there be that
will defend it. Hence the action of
the Board was taken only i'm obedience
to a progressive public sentiment and
because it was on the line of business
principles. There are said to be
about three hundred miles of public
roads in the county. There are
about 1900 people that will pay the
per capita road tax of $500; besides
this, the Board is authorized to levy
an advalorem tax of one mill. So the
situation will not be embarrassed with
the lack of funds, but on the contra
ry there will be ample road money to
at once bring the roads to a high state
of development. The Board is to be
commended and the people of the
county congratulated.

SENTINEL FlFTY.ONE YEARS OLD.

With this issue The Sentinel cele-
brateS it's fifty-SecOnd birthday. For
ifty-one years it has been in our
midst. 1t has expressed the joys
which have come to the community.
1t has dropped a tear with those who
sorrowed and eudeavored to console
those burdened with sadness and cast
down with grief. 1t has brought in
SEPARATION to many a heart, and en-
enlargement to numbers wading the
slough of deSpOnd. 1t has been pa
tient in developing the material inter-
eStS of Grenada and surrounding
country, and identified itself with
every move which the management
conceived to be the best for Gren-
ada. 1t has not always been right
who has? This is in the past and
does not meet the demands of the
present moment. But it is gratifying
70 the present management Of The Sen
tinel that the paper has such an honor
able record and that it has been so
well sustained by Grenada and the
public in general. The Sentinel bears
the reputation Of being n of the
best county papers in the state, and
it is u aim to spare no pains to main
tain the high standard of excellence
already attained. 1t shall be our aim
TO be Just and to deal fairly with all
men and measures. Frequently GER
tain duties are incumbent upon a
newspaper, pledged TO the best inter-
eStS of the community, that it is not
pleasant to perform, yet, in perform
ing these duties, we shall endeavor not
TO be harsh, so that the shadow of
regret may not hover over our path
way nor the sting of remOrSe be u
portion. Right shall be Our standard
which we believe in due time always
receives its reward.
In entering upon its f~ifty-SecOnd
year, The Sentinel sends greetings to
all of it's readers, wishing for them
the best that nature can give, and a
life full of benefcience and that hope
which abideth eternally.

PLACE BLAME ON RIGHT PARTY.

Jackson correspondents are working
overtime denouncing publishers of the
arithmetic recently adopted for Mis-
SiSSippi schools. We do not defend
the publishers, but confess that we
are at a loss to know why the CORE
spOndentS are jumping on people SO
far away. 1t seems to us their meat
is nearer home.
Who adopted the Objectionable
book?
Did they know those awful exam
pies were in the book?
If they did not know they were in
the book, why didn't they know?
They were paid fat salaries to do
the work required, why did they not
do it?
If the Yankee publishers are to be
handled so severely for publishing the
book, what about those who adopted
it?
The Yankees can publish books,
but they cannot force them Oh MiSSiS-
SippianS. Our commission appointed
by our governor can, and seem to have
done SO.
1t is SO easy and cheap to cnSs the
Yankees. Look nearer home, geLtle-
men.-CarrolltOn Conservative.
Rightly said. The commission cam
not plead want Of time. 1t should
have taken time. Dispatch Of bust
ness is always to be commended, but
dispatch without discretion is to be
condemned.
II the commission did not have
time to examine the books submitted,
they should have adopted old ones
those with which they were familiar.
Prating about what Northern book
concerns did is no excuse. We fire.
quently find people hiding a great
many CT their own defects behind
that sort of sentiment.

NEWS.SClMlTAR AND SUNDAY CLOS.
ING IN MEMPHIS.

The Memphis News-Scimitar takes
no middle ground in reference to the
endorsements of law. 1t casts its in
fluence on the side Of that which
tends to promote good society and to
protect and elevate the morals of the
country. 1t stands by the judge of
tine criminal court in his efforts to ELL
force the Sunday closing of saloons
and advances the sane argument that
saloons and the liquor interests in
general should not be made pets and
immune from legal restrictions which
others observe: but that it is to their
interest, the interests of their families
and their employees to take one day
In seven as q rest, as other people and
other business interests do.
The News-Scimitar is sustained in
its advanced position by the clergy Of
the city as well as a very large num-
Der Of the leading and most influential
people. 1t is also fortified by the
powerful influence of Senator K. w.
Carmack, whose piercing intellect,
old time oratory and comprehensive
grasp of matters make him a coveted
ally and an adversary to be dreaded in
any field. The following is a part of
a ringing editorial announcing its po-
sition:
We shall accept no further liquor
advertisements, because VIZ desire to
be untrammelled by business relations
with any interest which predicates up
on its patronage of US the right to
restrain the freedom of III opinion as
an advocate of law and order and good
morals.

must observe the law, and there is-no

AN ELECTION EVERY TWO YEARS.

While the Code Commission is wres.
Ting with a Code which is to be sub.
mitted to the next legislature, we be-
lieve the people would endorse a change
in our election laws so that an election
for state officials shall not occur at the
same time county officials are chosen,
a great many good reasons could be
given for the desired change, but
the main n is that the candidacy
for county offices is overshadowed by
the candidacy for state offices,
hence the opportunity for more
deals" and ''swap offs" to thwart
the real desires of the people.
1t was thought, when it was ar
ranged, to have an election only once
in four years, that there would be less
occasion for partisan broilS and the ex-
element generally attendant upon
elections. But instead, politics has
been dOubly intensified and in place
Of a siege every four years, we have it
all the time. Scarcely is one election
over before maneuvering is begun for
the next and we believe the Separa-
Dion of state and county elections
would develop a more thoughtful 70
ter and thereby cause the people to
look more carefully into the qualifica-
tionS and adaptability of candidates
both for state and county offices.
With the present state of affairs,
the aspirations and competency of
county candidates are made subordi-
nate to the swing of the tide of guber-
material and senatorial candidates in
the various counties.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-07-15

reason why q saloon keeper should
consider himself above the law or to
deem himself injured by those who
believe in the enforcement of the
statutes.
Other interests are forced to submit
to legal restraint. Other business
men close their place Of business on
the Sabbath.
Operation for six days in the week
should furnish a sufficient margin Of
profit for the retail liquor dealer, and
1t does.
But regardless Of this, the sale of
liquors on Sunday is illegal, the saloon
keeper knows that when he takes out
a license and he is at perfect liberty
not to engage in the business if he
feels he cannot run it as a law-abid-
ing citizen.
The saloon business is not a public
blessing and the occupation OF the Sa-
loon keeper does not justify him in
demanding that he should not be sub.
jected to the laws Of the land. He
should not oppose public servants fol-
performing their duty under oath. He
should not eternally make his business
interests as a professional law breaker,
an issue in politics and attempt to de-
feat every candidate for office who
does not promise to be blind, deaf ano
dumb to whatever offenSeS he shall
commit. There is something toe
much of this sort of thing and 1T Is
becoming intolerable.
The liquor business, always a mora.
evil, has become a political evil.
1t not only harms him who drinks
whisky, but it is infringing upon pub
lie rights and is attempting to dictate
government.
The law allows it to exist only as a
privilege, yet it proposes to run mu-
inequalities in the interest of its privi-
lege in defiance Of the general welfare
and public rights.
The time has come for decency tC
look this business in the face and
meet it candidly aud fearlessly.
1t must be put out of politics or put
off the earth.
If it refuses to obey the law, it
should be outlawed.
1t is bad enough at best, but as a
dominating, arrogant and corrupt po-
litlcal machine, it S a menace to civil
ZatiOn.

OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

We Americans are fond of congrat-
alating ourselves and boasting of our
great schools, III widely developed
manufactured industries, our great
rail roads and electric car lines, but
we are wise enough to admit that we
are sadly behind when it comes to the
care OF u public roads and the de-
velopment of the common highways
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Many reasons could be CIV
en- for this, perhaps. 1t has been too
fr frequently regarded as n of the nom
essentials, but the same argument
could be advanced for good thorouh-
fares, splendid country roads, that.

Greenwood was attempting to en-
force the Sunday closing law last Sun
day. To our mind, it appeared very
much like that it was desired to make
enforcement so odious that it would
soon be abandoned. Trains were even
being watched to prevent the selling
of newspapers, and We were told that
the milk wagons were not allowed TO
come into town.
