The New W. & E. L. Superintendent.

Mr.. JnO w. Hinchcliff, who has for
1.-THE past fOUr years been chief engi-
neer and master mechanic for the
Jackson Electric Railway, Light &
Power Company, has rendered his
resignation tO'that company to accept
a position as superintendent of the
Electric Light and Waterworks plant
at Grenada, Miss. Mr.. Hinchclff' s
appointment to the position here four
years ago, was at once marked by the
decided improvement in the service
rendered by the company. The very
satisfactory and continuous operation
of the plant, and the eQuipping of the
company'S splendid new power house,
which was largely under his personal
direction, speaks for itself of his tire
less energy and thorough knowledge
of the mechanical and electrical engi
neering business. Mr.. Hinchcliff is
also the inventor and patentee OF an
oil lubricating device to be used on
the armature bearings of street rail-
way motors, and which he has had in
use on all of the company'S motors for
the past year, resulting in a remark

| Increase In Southern Grain Production

For some years there was con
siderable decline in the atten tior
given by the South 10 the production
of grain and foodstuffS. but with a
strong tendency of recent years to-
ward a greater diversity in agricul,
ture, the South is getting back, re.
latively, TO the position which it hello
in 1860 in the raising Of grain an6
livestock. For many years after the
war the South almost abandoned, a,
compared with conditions prior to
1860, the raising OF its own food sup
plies, depending almost wholly on cot
ton. tobacco and sugar aS it's main
crops. While giving increased atten-
tion to cotton production and greatly
enlarging the average annual yield, it
is at the same time giving renewed
attention TO cereals and to livestock.
Between 1887 and 1896 the South
raised an aggregate of 6,2l3. 504, 125
bushels of corn, wheat and oats,
while for the 10 years ending with
1906 the production of these cereals
increased by 737, ,10l,9 959 bushels,
equal to 1l.8 per cent, the total
being 6, $50. 6O6,O ,OS4 bushels. Manu-

A CITIZEN OF NEWTON.
Writes In the Interest Of Fair
Play.
Newton. Miss. Jun

Newton, Miss, June 15, 1907
Editor Grenada Sentinel: Justice
and fair play should be accorded to all
men, that sentiment is characteristic
of all true Mississippians. And
write this letter prompted solely by
that sentiment. The report in the
Commercial Appeal of the 18th. OF
the speech of Hon. Earl Brewer made
here on the night of the 18th. inst. is
very misleading and does Mr.. Brewer a
great injustice. The part of that re-
port that complain of is as follows:
a number of the audience left be-
fore he had finished speaking" Now
it is true that a part of the audience
did leave just as Mr.. Brewer was con-
Guiding his speech and he asked what
the trouble was and one of these leav-
ing replied a rain storm is coming
up" and that is why they left. The
inference from the above from the
Commercial Appeal is that they grew
tired and left, which is not true.
No man ever received a more hearty
welcome than did Mr. Brewer from
the people of this little city on the
18th. inst.
He was met at the train which ar
rived about six O'Clock in the after
noon by the Merchants Brass Band
and large and enthusiastic crowd of
of the town and county who
gave him hearty welcome. He was
escorted to the home of one our most
prominent citizens who entertained
him until s o'clock and at $50, he
repaired to the Opera house where he
was met by the Merchants band and
q large and enthusiastic audience.
Mr.. Brewer was introduced to the
audience by young attorney of this
city in glowing terms. When he
stepped forward to begin his address,
he was greeted by loud and prolonged
applause.
His speech was both eloquent and
logical and he held his audience spell
bound for two hours. 1t was plain |
md unmistakable TO every one who
heard him that he had made the |
most effective political Speeck ever
delivered in this town.
| hope you will do me the kindness |
70 publish this in your valued paper,
n the interest of justice and fairness. |
Yours for the right,

Vacation DAYS.

Next to the day when Self-Sup-
porting girl receives her first salary
envelope. or is notified of her first
promotion or raise in salary. | believe
that the first vacation marks the most
important era Of her wage-earning
history" " writes Anna SteeSe Rich
ardson in Woman S Home Companion
for July. The two weeks on salary
given by most progressive firms and
appreciativc individual employers
should be regarded as the stamp OF
the employers approval, the reward
of honest efforts. When it is accepted
as a right it is robbed of it's individual
significance and much Of its real
pleasure.
Vacation should bring rest, or
rather recreation, tn muscles and
nerves. This does not necessarily
mean absolute quiet, kimOnO, a
novel and box of chocolates. 1t
means change of scene, movement
and thought.

SOME WAR HISTORY.
Some Facts About the Prison at
AntlerSonvilEe.

The Winnemac (Ind) Journal pub
fishes the following which will nc
doubt be read with interest by
old soldiers:
1t is published among the dispatch
es that Governor Hanly has appointed
a board to take charge of the erec-
tion of a monument to the 500 sold
ierS who starved to death at Ander-
sonville." The terrible condition of
the Federal prisoners at AnderSonville
was due to the single fact that Lin
coin S secretary of war refused to ex-
change these men for the COnfede r
ateS then held in the prison-pens of
the North. The DemOcrat-Journal
reprodnceS, in this connection, the
following extracts from the Washing
ron correspondence to the Chicago
Times, May %, 1867:
Captain Wirz, foreigner, pris-
oner of war in our hands, was put to
death at Washington by military
tribunal Gan illegal body. The pre-
tense for his illegal execution. was
that he had caused suffering to our
prisoners at AEderSOnville. The New
York. Tribune (radical republican,
said: The blame Of this execution
rests primarily on Edwin M. Stanton,
secretary of war, and Joseph Holt.
Everv one of tine prisoners at Ander-
Sonville might have been exchanged
and sent home in perfect health. The
,vnIeueraJeS wanted men badly: we
lid not. Messrs. Stanton and Holt
declared that they would not allow
The ConfederateS to recruit their
rmies by getting back 1000 of their
men that we held in prison. But

he having blackened his soul by the
ranging Of an innocent woman, Mrs.
Surratt, and being an accOmplice in
the death of 500 Union prisoners at
Andersonville'D perished by his own
hand.
The $4,000 Union prisoners con-
fined at AnderSOnville were thus left
to suffer enforced privations that
even the ConfederateS> themselves
were unable to relieve. 1he Confed
crate government was reduced to the
last extremity, and sufficient rations
even for its own prison guards (m9stly
old men and boys could not be had.
Consequently the captOrS could only
share with the prisoners their own
limited supplies. This condition of |
affairs is confirmed by volunteer
from the S7th Indiana regiment, Mr.. |
James Lidgard, who, while prisoner
Of war. endured the horrors Of An
dersonyille Mr.. Lidgard says 1.-THE
rebels fed us on the same ratiOns they
had. and they couldn't have treated
us any better than they did, for they |
all had the same kind of grub issued |
to our boys" Mr.. Lidgard is well
known throughout this country, and
his word will be taken as the truth. |
His bravery was attested in several
lard fought battles and while in the
5hickeSt OF the fight with his regi-
nent at Chickamauga, he received a

The Shirt.Waist Suit.

There were rumOrS afloat early in
the season that the Shirt-waist suit
would not be in usual high favor with
this years summer girl", writes Grace
Margaret Gould in the Womans Home
Companion for July. Every one was
proclaiming the universal vogue of the
jumper dress"
Now, however, the tide is turning
and the Shirt-waiSt suit is again as
Serting itself. And there is no doubt
that it is smarter than ever.
"Of course, the shirt waist suit has
had to look to its laurels, and perhaps
that's why the new designs are so orig
inal and extremely attactive. All
sorts of materials are used, from the
new voile in worSted suiting pattern
to an inexpensive striped gingham.
Brown linen is also in high favor for
a shirt-waiSt suit. Other materials
which are in vogue are figured madras,
plque, merceriZed red, cotton poplin,
pongee and striped and checked silks. F"

B. F. THOMAS FOR STATE SENATOR.
His Entrance makes the Third
One in the Race.

In the proper column Will be seen
the name Of b. f. Thomas candidate
for state senator from this the twenty
eighth senatorial district composed
of the counties of Grenada and Yalo-
busha. A seat in the upper house Of
the state legislature is an honor
worthy of the ambition Of any man.
That body passes upon the various ap-
pOintmcntS made by the Governor,
besides it's legislative duties, and the
indications are that the next session
of the legislature will be called upon
rave aud important questions that
will mark for veal or woe the future
of Mississippi for many years to come.
Mr.. Thomas has no doubt considered
all these matters seriously and is
prepared to proclaim from the stump
his views upon the various public
questions of the day and give the
people of the district his reasons for
asking for their support.
He was bern in this county more
than sixty years ago and has spent
the whole OF his life here. When
the war between the states broke out
N 1861, Mr. Thomas, like his as
sCciateS and fellow comrades, donned
the Confederate gray and shouldered
his musket and went forth to meet
the foe from the North. AS a soldier,
no word of reprOach was ever uttered
against his record.
He served as deputy sheriff under
the lamented Capt. r. n. Hall and
while his name has before been con-
sidered in connection with other Of
ticial positions, this is the first time
Mr.. Thomas has ever asked for legis-
lative hOnOrS. For twenty years, or
more perhaps, he has been running
the Grenada hotel and is widely
known by the travelling public among
whom he has many friends. He
holds membership in several different
fraternal orders which have frequent
Iy honored him with official place.
He goes before the people of the
district upon his record and his can
lidacy will doubtless receive that
which it deserves.
