EXTENSION Of
SEWERS BEGAN
ON YESTERDAY
SMALL SQUAD NOW AT WORK
Work viii Begin With a Rush
In a Short Time

On Town Creek yesterday ground
was broken in the work OF extending
the city's sewerage system.
While the squad now at work near
the Central of Georgia station is small,
consisting of about ten men, the be-
ginning of the work has been made as
surely as if the number of laborers
were much larger. A considerable
quantity of excavation on ditch for
sewerage pipes was the result of the
days work.
Though a part of the materials for
the sewerage extension work is here,
some of it is lacking, consequently the
work Of placing the sewers will not
be carried to the highest point at once.
AS soon as all materials are available,
the work will be carried on simultan-
eously with the eastern, northern
and southern extensions. Mr. A. j.
Waldrep, who is connected with the
firm of P j. Curran, of Knoxville, to
whom the sewerage contract was
awarded, has supervision of the work.
Work on the laying of paving in the
business section of the city will begin
in a short time, as all materials are
ready for the beginning. Lamar and
Lee streets have been selected as the
thoroughfares to receive the first layers
of wood blocks. Local officials will
give careful supervision to the paving
work to see that the defects in the lay
ing of this paving that have been no
ticed in Other cities are not repeated
here.

BILL
NOT TO CONE
Up TILL LATER
This MAY DEFEAT The BILL
Effort Failed For COnSidePa-
ton of Bill in Afternoon

Atlanta. Ga, August 7.-Efo-ts for
the passage of the Tippins bill, prOnib-
iting the sale of near beer, were re-
sumed Monday morning Immediately
after the house met, by Mr.. AleXan-
der, Of DeKalb, moving that the
house continue in session Monday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Hall; of Bibb, insisted
that an afternoon session will inter-
fere with the work of the re-apportion-
ment committee, and urged that the
Tippins bill be delayed until the ap-
preparation bill had been consider
ed.
Il didn't mention the Tippins bill, -
replied Mr.. Alexander, but the gen.
tleman who suggested that this meas
ure be postponed until after the col-
sideratiOn of the appropriation bill,
knows that such delay would merely
be a means of killing the bill" By a
vote of 6S to 81 the motion of Mr..
Alexander to have the house meet at
o'clock for an afteroon session was
defeated.

AGAIN THE COUNCIL TO
TACKLE The NUISANCE
Police Will Enforce MuffIer
Ordinance

Americus, more than any city of like
size, perhaps, suffers from the automo-
bile "muffier nuisance, and SO great
has this needless infiiction upon the
people become that the city authorities
are besieged with requests to have the
ordinance prohibiting the use of muf-
feTs enforced, together with the oil
burning intolerance.
Atlanta, Macon and other Georgia
cities have successfully suppressed
the muffer nuisance, and even Birn-
ingham has done it successfully.
In the latter city instructions have
been given the police to see that auto
mobile exhausts are muffled in the
city, to prohibit the use of the fiendish
squeakers and screamers being en-
ployed as alarm signals on motor cars
and to suppress other unnecessary
noises in the downtown streets.
Another complaint here is that of
the too free use of oil instead of gas0-
line as a motive power. Some of the
casks in which oil is thus usd throw
out a dense smoke that obscures the
streets and creates an intolerable odor
not only for pedestrians, but to resi-
dents upon the verandahs of their
homes.
Americus could and should be made
pleasant place to live in. The en-
forcement of these perfectly reason
able ordinances made for the public
protection, the public convenience and
the public comfort would be a long
step in that direction.

ENDORSES SENTINEL
And is For Law Enforce
ment. Tatum Citizen
Writes Encouraging
Letter. His Ad-
vice Good.

Editor Sentinel: If you will allow me
space in your valuable paper, | will
try to give you few expressions from
this neck of the woods.
We believe in law enforcement to the
letter, let the chips fall where they
may. We believe in calling on our leg
islators, whomsoever they may be, to
see that laws are passed to do away
with pistol toting in the good old state of
Mississippi and the county of Grenada,
and that will give the state an even go
in criminal trials. The manner of Sc
lectng juries, etc., now makes law a
mOckery. l think there is work for
every man to do in the neighborhood in
which he lives, to help put the law
breaker out of business. If we don't
, wake up along this line, it will not be
long before our lives and property will
be in danger at any time. Fathers,
have you ever thought of what your
precious boy stood in danger of? Just
think OF the influence he daily comes in
contact with. Let US wake up. Just
let US think what 80 men banded to-
gether for upholding the best sentiment
OF the county, can do. In the name of
God, let's stop and think where we
stand and resolve from now on to build
up a county that will be an honor to
God and a monument to the men that
started law and order in this country
Grenada county stands away ahead of
many counties of the state-we stand
with the best, but when it comes to
bringing the guilty to the bar of justice,
any county makes mighty bad show
ing. | think We have as good a code of
laws as any state in the Union, but We
are by our laws like the old man by his
prayers-we just nail the law on our
beds and go ahead. If We don't enforce
the laws, wnat good are they TO u.s.
In the first place, want to tell you
that l most heartily endorse your edi-
torial on the evil of pistol toting The
Sentinel is to be commended for preach
ing the doctrine of correct living and
good citizenship. The moral tone of
your editorials are fine and | wish to
tell you that you are sowing good seeds
and rendering your county good ser
vice. Your admonitions about electing
competent officers are timely and we
out here are going to cast our ballots
for men that are competent to fill the
offices to which they aspire.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this don't find
the waste basket. | will let YOU hear
from me again soon.

In placing E. L. Atkinson before
the voters Of beat for supervisor, the
Sentinel is not introducing a man un-
known to public life in the county. Mr..
Atkinson has served as member of the
board of supervisors for two terms IN
the past and he was regarded as care
full, investigating and faithful member
OF that body. He was pronounced for
an economy that was consistent with
the progressive demands of the day.
He gave every meeting of the board
his best attention, and it is safe to say
that he would be true to this habit
should he again be chosen.
He is quiet, unostentatious charac-
ter, but of positive ideas and his influ-
ence has always been for those things
in the public life of the county that
was backed by the best moral sentiment
of the people.
Mr.. Atkinson will no doubt make a
personal visit to every voter in his beat.

Don't Depend on the Hoe

The hoe is too costly an implement
to be depended upon, for it takes a
man. and you will never need hoe in
the field if you start early with smooth
ing harrow and weeder, and if the cot
ton is planted in hills, there will be
little need for chopping.
For the cultivation of the hoed crops
you will need power, and we must have
the horsepower to start with the har-
row and the weeder. With these you
can get over the land so rapidly that
you win never be caught in the grass,
and will never need to put plow in
to cover the grass in the rows. fer the
early use of the smoothing harrow and
weeder will prevent its starting there.

A Grenada Boy Climbs.

Last week there was in Grenada Dir.
Harris Crenshaw Wynne, a former
Grenada boy, but now president of the
Rose City bank of Little Rock, Ark,
one of the Leading financial institutions
of that thriving city. HAL" as he is
familiarly known here, spent his boy
hood days in Grenada with his aunt, Mrs.
Hester. One of the older citizens of
Grenada, himself a man of exemplary
character says of him:
LAS boy, he was one of the most
exemplary ever knew and of the most
trustworthy. He was always prompt
and punctilious in the discharge of the
smallest duty entrusted to him. A
friend of the writer tells us he loaned
Hal small sum of money on long time
when he was small boy, and that as
regularly as the interest fell due he
was prompt to pay it to the very day
without ever having to be reminded of
it. He left Grenada when about Is
years old and went out west. where,
by dint of industry. honesty nd scru.
pulous attention to business, he was
made cashier of bank in Oklahoma.
He left that state to come to Little
Rock few years ago to take similar
position in bank there. His prudence
and care so attracted the board of d.
J rectors of that institution that they
elected him their president soon after
he had attained his majority. Wher-
ever he went he always made it his
purpose to become acquainted with the
members of the church of which he is
member showing thereby that he
had not forgotten the early training OF
his good aunt. Hal has developed into
self-reliant, modest, unselfish bust
ness man. His example is worthy OF
the emulation of all men, and the Sen
tinel predicts for him a life of honor
probity and usefulness. His friends
here expect to see him climb, and wish
him Godspeed in his every effort.
