ness from taking any part whatever
in the canvass, 1 coald not have
reasonably hoped for success, but it
must be conceded that my friends

Reduced Meter Rates On Lights

The present city administration has
labored zealouSly to grasp every de-
{, tail of the city's affairs. 1t found
eaae affairs of the water and light
plant in anything but a satisfactory
snnniticn. This has been Straighten'
cd out and placed on a systematic and
paying basis, but in doing so, the
meter rates for lights have been plac-
ed too high. They should be lowered.
IL the rates are not lowered, many
families will cease to use the lights,
We fully appreciate the fact that the
administration does not desire the
monthly expense account Of the water
and light plant to exceed the RECEIPTS
from consumers. This is sound bust
ness. On this point, The Sentinel de-
SireS to make a suggestion which will
maintain the income of the plant at
Or above what it is now. 1t is this:
The cost of furnishing electricity and
maintaining the street lights through
cut the town should bo,paid out of the
general city fund. The street lights
increase the propSrty value Of the
town and add to the disturbances of
residence centers. Upon the plan we
suggest, the cost Of the street lights
would De borne by every property
awner in proportion to the amount of
his property. For example: a man
sn Memphis OWNS property here. The
value of his property is enhanced by
the street lights, but upon the plan
Ia operation now, he contributes
nothing towards maintaining a thing
from which he is deriving q benefit.
Our plan is just. 1t is equitable and
Is but in keeping with the theory that
2 mai shares in the benefits of or
ganized government in proportion to
the value of the property he asks the
government to protect. We make
this suggestion because we believe it
will meet the end desired by the
council and at the same time enables
Il to make a meter rate for lights
shat will satisfy consumers. If some
shing i'll the way of reduction of rates
IS not done real soon the city will lose
, large number of consumers and it's
evenue will be. thereby decreased.

siea OF meter rates On lights without

We most assurdly hope that the
legislature will change the primary
election law so as to provide for at
least six months separation Of the
state and county primaries. The
time between the first and second
primaries should be closer together.
The second primary should be held
just as quickly as the result Of the
first one can be officially announced.

A Card From N. B. Charles.
To the people of Grenada:

To the people of Grenada:
Last December / came to
Grenada prospecting, and | Wa:
favorably impressed not only
with the people of this commun.
ity, but with its business, SO much
so, that / determined to come
here. to cast my lot with you,
making this place my home, and
to organize a bank. Carrying out
that intention. l came here in
January, rented a residence for
myself and family, moved my
family to Grenada and also leased
a business house where I could
conduct the banking business.
When / came ! expected to fur
nish the bulk of the capital for
the bank succeeded in enlist
ing the sympathy and co-opera-
ton of some Of the most worthy
and reliable people in this com
munity. But soon thereafter, an
article was published in a news-
paper published at Brookhaven,
Miss, and also in a newspaper
at Jackson, Miss, charging me
with embezzlement. These pa
pers were circulated promiscu-
ously throughout this community.
the result was, as was naturally,
inestimable harm was done me.
This necessarily destroyed my
reputation and influence in this
community, and ! at once recog-
nized the fact that with this
charge hanging over me, it would
be impossible for me to secure
the confidence of the business
world, and | at once concluded
not to attempt to organize a bank,
but to turn the matter over to
citizens in your town who are gen.
tlemen of character and of moral
and financial standing. Il
expect to invest some money in
the bank, which is to be organized
here, but it is not my purpose or
to occupy any position
in the bank. or to have anything
to do with the management, but
the bank will be managed and
conducted by gentlemen who
have the full confidence of the
people of this community. | will
add that the charge made against
ne is absolutely false, and l will
De able at the proper time to
demonstrate to the people of this
community and throughout the
State at large that the article was
ibclous, malicious. willful and ,
'alse. Until / have an opportun-
ty of showing the falsity of this
barge, 1 ask that the people will
their Judgment.
Respectfully,
M. B. CHARLES.

1t Is To Be Regretted.

The action of the mob in fOrcibly
aking the negro, Eli Pigot, from a
company of state troops at Brookhav-
en- on February 10 is much to be re-
GREETED. The brute had confessed to
IN assault upon a young lady in the
county. All the necessary machinery
Of the law had been set in operation
b. give him+a speedy trial and a legal
execution. A. special term Of the cir
cult court hand been called which
vas designed to prevent a delay Of
justice and the excuse for u mob. The
negro got his deserts. No purniSh-
nent could be tro severe for the per-
petrator of such a deed but in his kill
Ling the law has been outraged and a
~deplorable lack of reverence for con-
stituted authority exhibited. Let us
hope that the action of the mob was
not a ~premeditated affair and that it
followed, as has been suggested, the
mwarranted act of one of the soldiers,
who had the negro in charge, in strik-
Els the father OF the girl who was the
within of the negroes lust, rather
than any prearranged plan to do vio-
RDce to the law.
No excuse in this case can be offered
at the laws delay. In less than forty
eight hours from the time of the
negroes arrival in Brookhaven, he
would no doubt have been sentenced
ny the court to die on the gallows for
his crime and it is a pity indeed that
the mob permitted themselves to thus
Become a clog in the wheels of good
order and respect for organized So
aiety. In commenting on the affair
Gov. Noel said:
1T is a shame and a blot to our |
civilization, regardless of the very
great provacation, and the heinous-
ness of the offense, which even,
though the prisoner had admitted, |
did not excuse the outrage Of the law, !
and the open defiance of the men in
the uniform of the state troops.
Easy methods will not be tolerated
luFing my administration, and mobs
aust be put down, regardless Of the
consequences"

The news comes pretty straight
from Jackson that Gov. Noel will not
reappoint Judge Dunn to the circuit
bench of this district. This will be
a source Of regret to Judge Dunn's
numerous friends in Grenada. IL is
said that Hon Geo. A. McLain OF
WinOna. a warm personal friend and
supporter Of Gov. Noel, will succeed
Judge Dunn. No one can have any
just quarrel with the Governor for
standing ny his friends and support
ers. 1t is what we believe in and
were we making appointments we
would appuint our friendS if we could
find one in the community or district.

comments. many Of them ridiculous,

doubt doing his best, and we would
counsel his many friends here who are
suffering so much anxiety, to be pa
tient. In due time the lunatic asy-
lum will be enlarged and perhaps the
Senator will make arrangements for a
large number of his constituents to
get quarters therein. Possess your

Kill II.

The legislature should lose nc time
in killing the Quin bill providing for
the nomination Of all Judges and
ChancellOrs at the primary elections.
Mr.. GUMS object, is a short cut on
an elective judiciary. Such a law
would, in a certain measure, still
leave the Governor responsible for the
character Of his appointments at the
same time giving him no discretion
in the matter. This would not be
right and we do not believe such a
law would be constitutional. The
judiciary should not be required to
get into the Scrambles for office. We
are opposed to an elective judiciary,
but give us an elective judiciary
rather than the mongrel method
proposed by Mr.. Quin.

Will Make an Elaborate Ten-Cent
Amusement Place of it in the Near
Future.

T. w. Eng1ehart, the present propri-
etor of the five cent theater on State
street, has bought out the Senate saloon
owned Harrington and Parker and will
remodel the entire place and convert 1T
into a vaudeville theater.
The front of the building will be torn
out and Will be made into one of the
most attractive theater fronts i'm this
part of the region. The floor will be
rnised from the stage and the theater
will have "a capacity of several hundred
people.
Mr.. Lnglehart has already invested
several thousand dollars in the leases
and in the purchase of the saloon and
it will cost him several thousand more
before the theater is completed and
ready for business.
According to the terms of the lease
the building will be vacated by Har-
rIngton at once once and Mr.. Engle-
hart will have Mr.. Harrington's unex-
pired lease. Mr.. Englehart, like sew
