the state. While the vote in this county
was not quite as large as that cast at
the first primary, yet the contest was
spirited. The following names ap-
peared on the ticket
For railroad commissioner: w. R.
Scott, W. B. Wilson; for fioater repre-
sentative, W. E. Boushe, F. H. Harper;
for sheriff, Bob West, w. H. Crowder;
for chancery clerk, Jno. S. King, G. d.
Thomason; for county superintendent
of education. R. H. Hester, v. r.
James; for treasurer. G. E. Peacock,
T. B. Keeton.
Besides these, the names of three 'ex-
ecutive committeeman were on the
ticket in each beat, all of whom were
elected, The vote by precincts appears
elsewhere in this paper.
Viii Ed Boushe defeated Sen. FIJI.
Harper for foater representative, car
rying both this and Montgomery coun-
/ ties. Mr.. Boushe's nomination is q
great tribute to the independence of
thought and of action of the people.
Maj. Vardaman endorsed Mr.. Harper's
candidacy, and State Senator Hebron
strongly urged that he should be cleo
ted; but in spite of all this, large ma
jority of the voters in the two coun-
ties, which only recently gave Mr.. Var
daman over 300 majority, cast their
ballots against candidate he had
strongly endorsed. Mr.. Boushe is a
young man of sterling qualities. He is
well posted on general topics, has prac-
tical ideas of affairs, is a success in bus
mess and is man of good judgment.
All these are necessary qualities in a
legislator just at this time. He will
make good. The Sentinel congratulates
the people of Grenada and Montgom-
cry counties on their chol ,e.
This paper has nothing but the kind
liest feeling for Mr.. Harper and it
wishes him well. The writer did not
agree with Mr.. Harper about the plan
of this campaign. 1t is his opinion that
no candidate should try to ride into Of
fee on the coat tails of candidate rum
ming for more important Office.
The nominee for sheriff, Bob West,
is a good citizen, clever neighbor and
an obliging friend. He is big-hearted,
jovial and good-natured and appears to
be just such character as will make
the county most satisfactory and eff
cient sheriff
Nothing but praise can be said of Mr..
Vests competitor, w. H. Crowder.
Mr.. Crowder was deputy sheriff four
years under the lamented G. B. Jones;
he was then chosen to the Office him
self, and for the past four years has
been deputy sheriff under D. A. Will
Jams. Mr.. Crowder has every reason
to be proud of his race and the loyalty
of his friends. He has made good
officer and retires with the esteem of
his fellow-ctizens.
John S. King, the nominee for chan
Gerry clerk, succeeded his father, who
died in Office in 1906. Mr.. King is per-
haps the youngest chancery clerk in
the state, but no county can boast of
better or a more accommodating one.
He has been assisted by his brother,
Whitfield, equally as capable and
obliging, hence the people OF Grenada
county had every reason to be pleased
with the administration of the chancery
clerk Office.
Mr.. Kings competitor, Mr. Thoma-
son, while he had never be 'oie been II
politics, yet he mad mos credilable
race and is most worthy younG man.
!, For the past seven or eigh years he
has been salesman IL 4 wo o. Lie larg'

ada and his employers place the very
: highest estimate on his services. He IS
popular with che trade and has lived q
very correct life.
