Dear Sirs:-
l notice IN the report of the grand
jury publis he'd in your last issue this
allusion to me: "Mr. B. T. Sayre las
justice of the peace made no report.
We find many cases of which no dis
position has been made, and we rec
ommend thai In the future that these
cases be looked after and some iudg-
|ment written in EACH" Now while ev-
erything in this report so far as l am
concerned is true, yet in order to show
that | have not been derelict in my
duty as a magistrate, | write this to
show exactly how this occured; eBut
before l rise to structify In meeting
Use done climb up de knowledge tree
and done some apple eating
Being young az a JUSTICE of the peace
and not having the experience of some
of my seniors l had to read Chapter IS
Of the Code of 1906 styled Justices of
the Peace, and particularly Section
1853 Of that Chapter which says, ut
shall be the duty of every justice of the
peace to receive and account for all
fines and penalties imposed by him and
On the first day of April and October in
each year to report in writing under
oath to the clerk of the board of SUPER
visors all fines and penalties imposed
by him during the past six months with
preceding such report, giving the date,
amount and name of persons from whom
such fines and penalties were received
and to pay SO much thereof as he shall
have received TO the county treasurer,
ETC." No where in this above chapter
can l find where l ana instructed to
make a report Of my actions to the
grand jury as l had no cases of felony
for them to investigate and have nc re-
port. did not have a criminal case
before April lst and consequently made.
no report to the clerk of the board of

AS to the cases that were not dispos-
ed of, warrants are out for the parties,

PROF. STARK YOUNG.

It is with pleasure that we note
that Prof. Stark Young has been Of
fered the chair of English in the
University If the South at Sewanee.
This offer carries with it perhaps the
greatest compliment which the South
has to bestow upon any man in this
line of endeavor.
Prof. Young started his bright
career at the University of Missis-
sippi where he graduated with hon.
ors and held the chair of assistant
instructor in the excellent English
department of that institution. The
various Southern colleges began to
note his sterling ability and he was
soon offered many complimentary
positions, finally accepting the chair
of English at the University of Tex
as. During his stay of two years at
that institution he has made strong
connections with that college, and
the authorities of that institution
will be very loathe to losa him.
Prof. Young has not yet indicated
whether Or not he will accept the
offer of S. vance. But his qualifica-
lions for the position which has
been profsred him are we'll known
to the scholars and literateurs of the
South.
FOR several years Prof. Young
has been writing and studying,
perfecting himself in an English
style that is as distinctive as that of
greater roets and second to no
Southern poet since the days of Lam
Ter. He has contributed several
poems and short stories to popular
magazines and papers. His Blind
Man at tho Window and "Guin-
ivere'' which he wrote while at the
University, have attracted universal
recognition and praise. His. latest
poem, THE Garden of Psyche"
was recently published in The Fo-
rum, and is a are gem of this
brilliant young southerner.
1t is with keen pleasure that we
note the prominence OF every grad
uate of the University of Mississippi.

4 BUSINESS safk'S Gus.

In lo,king over the various cities
that enjoy the luxuries and CONNER
cial benefits of a Business Mems
Dinner Club, we cannot but feel
that Greenwood needs and would
profit by such an institution, and
that it would be an impetus to our
growth and prosperity.
To assume the imaginary case for
the purpose of illustrating the actual
figure such a club plays in the
transactions between financiers, law
yers, architects, contractors and
other business men; meet and are
entertained Informally until the
Feasibility of improvements is de-
termined and the preliminary plans
are worked out. From the first to
the last of such negotiations the
lunch club plays an important role,
and the importance will increase
proportionately to the increase in
| the volume of business.
The reason for the growing power
of the business club is not far to
seek. In the first place, a business
luncheon is an informal function.
1t occurs during the hour of midday
relaxation. 1t is a period when the
business man throws aside the ten
sity of the Office without fear of in
terruption of visitors or telephone
calls. The club rooms are usually
luxuriously furnished and generally
located on the top floor of a build
ing, away from the noise Of the
street. The business man who
would frequent it with a friend is a
host or guest; in either case he is
on a more intimate footing than in
the Office. It is but natural that
topics discussed in such an atmos=
phere should receive more friendly
consideration than when discussed
in the regular routine of business.
1t is at such a place that its mem
bers meet and spend an hour or two
in the dining hall, billiard room. or
smoking parlors. Thus men en-
gagged in various business pursuits
are brought together semi-socially,
and discuss their interests in a spir-
it of relaxation that seldom pervades
the office. The social and business
influence of such a club lends much
to concentrate the interests Of the
different trades and professions in
to the hands of small groups.
Greenwood needs another club,
and such a one as a business mems
club. The suggestion for such a
club is not as premature as it would
seem at first glance. 1t would not
only enhance Commercial interests,
bnt would be a stimulus to the soc-
ial life of our city. Greenwood has
a fad for leading its rival cities, but
she is far behind in club life. Such
a club as is suggested would be a
luxury that would prove an invest
ment. When our out-of- town Gus
toners and friends visit our metrop-
Ills, it is to such a place as this to
which they could be taken, where
confidential relations could be en-
joyed and the seller and the buyer
a be placed on a more intimate
footing. Greenwood is fast realiz-
its purpose-to be the trade center
for the Delta. In order to enjoy a
full and complete realization of this
purpose proper inducements should
be shown and advantages offered
that will attract prospective buyers
to u markets. Let our real busi-
ness men take this suggestion to
themselves and give it the careful
consideration which it is due and
its practibility will be prima facie
evident.
