He resides only short distance east
of Grenada, where he has been devoting
his energies to the farm and has met
with a reasonable measure of success.
He is now actively canvassing and no
doubt expects to see every voter in the
county.
The Sentinel bespeaks for him a fair

sissippi politics who has INDUCED in
such violent and filthy language re-
garding those who differ with him as
Vardaman has, and those he has abused
so ~unjustly are justified in answering
him with any truthful knowledge of his
m~isdoings.
Mr.. Alexander is a clean, high class
man and stands high in the estimation
OF all who have known him for long
years, and it is perfectly natural that
he should tire of this incessant black
guardism from a man like vardaman,
whose whole record since he went into
the governors chair has proven to be
one OF deceit and graft. -Sunfiower

There wa q letter published in the
Sentinel Of June 9, under the heading,
They Protest"
The writer Of said letter states that
finally the meeting adjourned and the
membership went home in an almost
happy frame of mind with the super
visors."
The writer Of said letter simply
meant to deceive those that were not
there. The truth Of the matter is, we
went there believing that the board
Lad treated the stock owners and voters
unjustly aid unfairly. and when the
board rejected our petition, we in
formed the supervisors that we had
other ways and means to resort to, and
that we intended to continue the fight
to q finish; and everybody that was
there knows it. We left there fully
convinced that the tick and vat law
was uhjustly and unfairly forced upon
W, by the board; and at our recent
meeting at Provide nee. we. the under
signed, resolved and determined not to
allow the said law to be enforced upon
US.

Later-Since the above meeting was
held the writer has heard from many
others who are in accord with US. We
could give their names, but think the
above sufficient.

Mrs. F. E. Martin Is Dead.

F. E. Martin answered her last earthly
summons and her spirit was borne
away to the realms Of the blest. She
had been seriously III for several months
and had had'the closest nursing and At

was too old TO stand the heavy hand Of
disease. ~
Mrs. Martin spent the greater part
Of her life at Hardy. For the past
dozen years she had been making her
home in Crenada, where she had won
for herself that same love and devotion
Of friends that had marked her life at
her. old home. She was kind and
thoughtful, ever ready to do . good
deed and perform an act Of mercy. She
sought opportunities to do deeds Of love
and to render aid to those in distress
and sorrow. Such characteristics dis
play the true christian and q sincere
fidelity to the true teachings of the
Heavenly Father.
Mrs. Martin was q member Of the
Baptist church and her life indicated
the greatest Of consistent living. She
passed to the word beyond sublimely
trusting in the riches Of a Risen Lord.
She 10 survived by one daughter,

Letter From las. A. and cAsrltoaA. Alexander
Having been advised that there are
some who have doubtless unknowingly
or mistakenly been circulating Z rumor
that Mr., C.sAIexander has built houses,
using in their construction negro and
non-dnion fsbcf, the evident purpose of
which is to injure him in his candidacy
for the United States Senate, we wish
to make the following statement:
Mr.. C. H. Alexander, who 10 our "a
Their, has not built any build
ings to Dur positive knowledge in the
past six years. He erected = store
building q long time ago here in the
city, under contract with the contrac-
tor, and therefore did not know Of the
character Of labor used, but had no
right to question it,
Last fall we each erected homes in
this city, which were built under sep.
arate contracts entered into in advance
for turn key jobs with Mr.. N. R.
Stark, q contractor Of this caty. The
building was under the supervision Of
our architect, Mr.. H. N Austin, and
neither Of vi questioned nor had q right
to question the character Of labor en-
ployed by him. In any event, Mr.. C.
H. Alexander had nothing whatever Ia
do with letting these contracts, the
erection Of either dwelling, or the pay
ing for same either directly or indi-
rectly. and knew nothing thereof, be.
ing continuously absent from the city.
Respectfully.
