to become familiar with the various
details OF his work, and not long
enough to repay him for the sacrifice
which he was obliged to make to ac-
cept the position, which was rendered
him only a few months ago.
We who have known him intimate

in saying that no better equipped
man can be found for the position

elected for full term the state Of

Good Things Missed.
A Listener Writes Of DR.. Knapp's Address.

Editor Sentinel: Our farmers miss
ed a treat by failing to hear the talk
made by DR. Knapp, special agent of
the U. S. Agricultural Department,
on last Monday. 1t seems strange, as
suggested by Mr.. Clifton in introduce
iag the speaker, that people will flock
topolitical speakingS from which
they can hope to receive but little if
anybenefit, and cannot fnd time to
attend meeting of such Importance
to them individually aud to the COM
mnnity collectively as that held here
Monday afternoon for their special in
struetioa and information.
DR.. Knapp threw out some sugges-
tlons, which, if appropriated and fol-
lowed by the farmers of Grenada
connty. would make this comfy bios
SOM as the lose in a few years.
The main theme with him was, of
course, how 70 meet and overcome diff
ficulties in tanning, and how to make
better crops: but to me, the most inn
nortant thing that he said was this:
Farmers. instead of leaving your
farms and moving to town, stay where
yn,, are and make them so attractive
and desirable, that neither you nor
vour children after you will ever want

;lies are entitled to and should have

The report shows little improve

much opposition and it is being urged
against him that he did nothing to
put them out OF business while dis

what, if anything, Mr.. Brewer did to-
wards putting them out of business
while he was district attorney. l

Dear Sir: Replying to your favor
Of the Goth ult., in regard to the can
didacy of Hon. Earl Brewer for gov
ernor and his position on bucket shops
in this his home county as we'll as in
his district, will state that during Mr..
Brewers term of Cffice as district at
torney he used every means in his pow
er to close up the bucket shops.
| understand that he succeeded in
closing up every shop in his district.
At this place, however, he found more
opposition as the Grand Juries would
not indict. At last, however, be sue
ceeded in having every one in any
way connected with the bucket shop
in this city indicted and they all
closed up their place of business.
Just after these indictments were
returned Mr.. Brewer resigned his Of
tice as district attorney to enter the
race for governor and for this reason
he did not try the cases but left them
to his successor. Each of these in
dictmentS bears on it the name of
Earl Brewer as district attorney, and
all are now pending. The records
here are public and open to puhlic in-
specton.

Jealous in locking after this form of
gambling, as we'll as other forms of
vice and crime.
Every report circulated in regard to
Mr. Brewers s not enforcing tke law and
especially in regard to the bucket
shops is erroneous as even his enemies
admit that he cleared up Heore crimes
and misdemeanors in our district and
made US a better district attorney
than any one we haze ever had.

pect indicates he will be, tee will pu.

like all Others there, was pronounced
success.

TO speak, and the picnic was given in
his honor, together with the county
candidates who were also invited. Mr.
Brewer made strong, mastery pre-
sention Of the issues Of the campaign,
and won for himself many friends.
The county candidates had no op-
pornunity to speak, owing to the fact
that Mr.. Brewer did not arrive until
after dinner, and his speech took up
most of the after noon, which was
right and proper in view of the fact
that it was his pp0intment.-
