DOUBLE KILLING
AT PHILLIP.
Edward Powell, a Former Resident Of
This County. Shoots Whitney
Greenham and Bert lawson.

A Phillip, Miss, dispatch, Nov. II,
says: Edward Powell, manager of the
Lone Star Planning Company, shot and
killed Witty Greenham, single, aged
26, of Boyle, Miss, and Bert Lawson,
single, aged 20, of Blaine. Miss, yes
terday morning, killing them instantly.
Greenham and Lawson were employed
by the A. A. Hubbard sawmill
The trouble arose over dispute con-
corning some logs, during which Pow
ell shot both men. Lawson was not an
interested party and took no part in
the argument, but started to run away
/ when the shooting commenced and, ac-
cording to witnesses, was deliberately
shot down and killed. Neither Green
ham nor Lawson were armed. Both
men had just recently been employed
by Mr.. Hubbard and were reputed to
be good workers, quiet and honest men.
| The remains of both parties We're ia
ken to Greenwood on the evening train
to be prepared for burial Grecnham
leaves widowed mother, of whom he
was the sole support.
Sheriff Champ Taylor arrived from
Greenwood in an automobile.
Powell gave himself up without any
resistance. He has been employed as
manager of the Lone Star Planting Co.
for number of years and was well
known among the many lumbermen of
the surrounding country and was held
in high esteem by the entire commu-
nifty.
The above does not tally with Pow
ellis version of the affair. A friend of
his informs the Sentinel that the fol-
lowing are the facts about the killing:
The men who were killed We're doing
some logging for the Hubbard ,awmill
people. The Lone Star Planting Co.
was also doing some logging. 1t seems
that Greenham and Lawson had finished
logging from a certain tract Of land
and that they were instructed to go to
the tract of land upon which the ne
groes for the Lone Star Planting Co.
were logging and assist in getting in
the remainder of the logs. POWELL
states that when his negroes returned
for their next load of logs, after -reen-
ham and Lawson had gone there. they
were given cursing and told not to
move any logs, that they (Greenham and
Lawson) were going to do the ,emain-
der of the hauling. The negroes natu-
rally went to Powell to consult him,
; whereupon he went to the woods to in
terview Greenham and Lawson End to
ascertain if the negroes were telling a
correct story. Upon reaching tle scene
he was greeted with about what the
negroes got, and the two men ted him
they would give him whipping. A
| quarrel ensued, and when the m,h who
| We're killed made for their guns, Pow
ell was just too quick for them.
: Powell is now in Jail at Greenwood
and his committing trial will b. held
Monday. He was reared near Ulster
ton, in this county, and has always
been regarded as an orderly citizen and
as law abiding man. His friends, of
course, deeply regret the unfortunate
8 tragedy, but cannot believe that Pow
f ell did not regard himself as justihable
in doing what he did.

ADVOCATES HIGHWAY.
W. B. HOffa Wants to Interest Peo'
pie In Building Highway from
Memphis to New Orleans.

You, as editor Of your paper, have
always advocated movements looking
to the uplift and betterment Of your
state, and have championed all things
looking to its material and moral pro-
gress.
I am writing, asking that you begin
an active campaign in your paper for
the establishment through the GEN.
tral portion of Mississippi of a great,
public highway from Memphis through
Senatobia, Como, Sardis, Batesville,
CORTLAND, Enid, Oakland, Grenada,
Duck Hill, Winona, Walden, Durant,
Canton, Jackson, and on to New Or
leans; and another line leaving the
Bristol Highway at jackson, Tenn,
paralleling, as nearly as possible, the
Illinois Central railroad, coming thru
the towns of Holly Springs, Oxford,
Water Valley, Coffeeville, and joining
Memphis to- New Orleans Highway at
Grenada.
If you can, through your paper, get
the papers of the respective towns
along the proposed route to begin act
i've agitation of this highway, l feel
that before the end of another summer
we would have made long step for
ward in carrying out a successful con-
summation Of this great project.
Between Memphis and Grenada the
patriotic people Of De Soto, Tate, Pan
ola and Yalobusha counties have al
ready established the highway and done
many thousands Of dollars worth Of
work upon the same. If the people Of
Tallahatctie county could be- induced tt
fill in the short loop between Oakland
and the Pamela county line, the roat
from Memphis to Grenada would be. {
certainty. The good people Of Mont
| gomery county are alive to the advan
sages Of such a highway, and ! under
stand are determined to put goot
roadway north and south through
Montgomery county, furnishing an i'm
portant link in the chain Of the Mem
phis-to-New Orleans Highway.
Hoping that you will give this laud
able enterprise your editorial support,
remain, Very truly yours,

In the proclamation of Governor
Brewer setting aside Health Day, Nov.

comes the knowledge of the extent OF
their prevalence in the community

by an efficient system of vital statist
les. 1t is universally recognized tina
modern sanitary science is absoiutel,
dependent upon complete and correc
vital statistics derived from the reg

CoIOred People to Have Fair.

The Sentinel gladly notes that the
colored people Of Grenada county are
arranging to have fair at the fair
grounds in this city Nov. %, 20 and 80.
They have issued their advertising
matter and have a right interesting
program. 1t is hoped that the busi-
ness, thinking element of the colored
people of the county will take hold of
the enterprise and make it mean some
thing to their race. The colored people
are essentially farmers and stock rails
ers and there is no reason why they
can not have a creditable fair. The
Sentinel feels sure that the white peo-
pie will give the colored fair proper en-
couragement.
