INSURANCE COMPANIES ~ POOL

Information comes to the Sentinel from high financial circles
and from unqnestioned authority, that the combine among the fire
insurance companies of the state has been frightened by the seduc-
ton and the taking in of every fire insurance company which has
been doing business in the state, and that has been making indie
pendent rates.
From the same authority we get information that the bonding
companies of the state are in a combine. The same authority fur
Their informs the Sentinel that these aforesaid insurance and
bonding companies have their representatives, lobbyists, if you
please, at Jackson at the present legislative session. These lobbyists
would claim, doubtless, that they are there to confer with the legis-
lature regarding any legislation that is proposed which is inimical
to the insurance companies.
Everybody knows that but few people give any thought to fire
or bond insurance rates. As matter of fact, everybody knows
that lobbyists rarely represent the interests of the general public
On the contrary, their efforts are directed to protecting some corpo-
ration by getting legislation that will insure larger dividends, or that
will allow to remain on the statute books laws which give certain in
situations or corporations more than a square DEAL"
We believe in being fair to every corporation and every bust
ness interest, but a horde of lobbyists at a state capitol are distaste.

Boil WeeviI Meeting

Every farmer and business mar in
terested in lettering the agricultural
conditions and in waging war on the
boil weevil in Grenada county, is re-
ouested to meet at the court house in
Grenada at 10 a. m. Thursday. Feb. 8.
The purpose of this meeting is to
bring all of the citizens Of the county
together to lay plans for fighting the
boil weevil successfully, thereby pre-
venting the decentralization of business
in general that usually follows this in
sect after he has been in a section for
a couple of years.
We will have at this meeting men
out of the boil weevil territory who
have had several years experience with
this pest and they will talk on the very
best methods of the cultivation of cot
ton that are practiced by the farmers
of Louisiana and south Mississippi. who
are raising cotton successfully in the
infected districts. We will also have
men from the state department of Ag-
riculture, the Farmers Institute work
of the A. & M. College and the Farm.
ers' Union. 81
These lectures will be very instruct.
i've and interesting, along general agr!
cultural lines, but more especially or
the boil weevil proposition. Every
farmer in Grenada county should make
it a special point to be at this meeting
for it will mean a great deal to then
in the fight they have got to make. q

DR.. J. G. ArmStrOnd Named.

On Friday afternoon of last week
Gov. Brewer made quite a long list of
appointments. He named the Upper
Yazoo Levee board, the board of dem
tai TX HAMMERS, the state board of
pharmacy and the state board of health.
DR.. j. c. Armstrong of Water Val
ley was appointed from this congress
sional district, on the state board of
health. The appointment is a good
one. DIR. Armstrong is one of the
states best physicians and most public
spirited men.
DIR. j. Sydney Sharp of this city was
very strongly endorsed to the Governor
for the place that went to DR.. Arm
strong, and there is no doubt that Gov.
Brewer was somewhat in adilemma be-
tween these two good men. DR.. Arm
strong had been the Governors family
physician when he was a resident of
Water Valley, fully approaching
what this tie means; and further, that
DR.. Armstrong was one of the best
suited men in the state for the place.
DR.. Sharp relieved the Governor of
any embarrassment as to making
choice by withdrawing his application
and subsequently, as the Sentinel is
advised, wrote Governor Brewer a let
ter expressing the sincerest acquies-
cence in what he had done and appreci-
alton for the consideration shown his an
plication.
The Sentinel congratulates DR.. Arm
strong as well as the Governor. If
Governor Brewer is as happy in ali
other appointments made by him as
that of DR.. Armstrong, he will have
made a record never before made by a
chief executive of the state.

DON'T EXPERIMENT

Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorders, dizziness and nervousness,
it's time to act and no time to expert
ment. These are ommon symptoms
of kidney trouble, and you should seek
a remedy which is recommended for
the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use. No need to experiment. 1t has
cured many stubborn cases in Grenada.

1t was indeed an inspiring scene at the Methodist church on
Wednesday night to see the presiding circuit Judge, G. A. Mclean,
in the pulpit conducting prayer meeting and his aole co-laborer,
District Attorney Lamb, leading in prayer.
The country is safe when its public men will lead in church SER
vices, and the best of all, the lives of these two good men conform
to their professions. What worthy example to young men. The
country is progressing. 1t is growing better. For a circuit judge to
have conducted a prayer meeting a third of a century ago, would
almost have startled a community.
Judge McLean's address was full of the Spirit and a was plea
for a Jealous and working religious life.

Now that the lower house of the state legislature has passed a
bill lowering the contract rate of interest to 8 per cent, it should
lose no time in also passing a bill exemptng money loaned at 6 per
cent, from taxes. 1t is our opinion that the latter is more important
to our people than the former. Very little money is on the tax
books. any way. The poor men, the borrowers, would reap the ben
eft of the 6 per cent exemption. A 6 per cent exemption law will
bring a great deal of money from its hiding and help bushes ISL con-
ditons in general. Where money is loaned at a higher rate of inter
est than g per cent and not listed with the tax assessor, the lender
should not be allowed to collect any interest at all. We hope both
bills will receive the sanction of the upper house.

We are glad to observe that there has been a peace pact entered
into by friends on both sides of the senatorial contest in the lepisla-
ture. This is good. Let us hope that the peace spirit will be en-
couraged throughout the state and that the action of the leaders in
every camp will square with signed agreements. There are too
many able and brainy men in the Legislature for them to allow is
sues that have been already settled to interfere with the discharge
of sacred duties. The mills cannot grind with the waters that are
past. 1t is a useless waste of time to argue for verdicts already
rendered. The past behind US, gentlemen, and look to the future.

He was personally known to many Grenadians and had always
