A LETTER TO
PRESIDENT WILSON.
SUGGESTIONS About Sensible Thugs
and About a Currency Reform
In Particular.
Mr.. w. Wilson, Human Being -care of
White House, Washington, D. c.:

Mr.. W. Wilson, Human Being--care of
White House, Washington, d. c.:
Dear Sir: That last message of
yours which you read to Congress, car
ries out Sam Blythe's contention that
you are still very human, tho president.
You surely have fine opportunity to
succeed in this line of sndeavor, for
you have not any degree of competition
to speak of. Most people who gain
power forget the people, and forget to
be human. If you do. we will almost
despair.
You may recall that in my last letter
| told you that farmer in Georgia
with the very best of security would
find it very difficult to borrow 500.
Here is fine example of this made
public: The state Of Tennessee wants
to borrow $40, 900, 900, and j. 2. Nor
gan & Co. are quoted as saying that
1.-THE security is as good as any other
state" and yet Tennessee cannot get
the $40, 900, 600. Morgan & Co. give
the reason in the same news item, the
money is not available for the people
| Just now.
That is the very point, Mr.. Wilson. |
wish to call your attention to once more.
There is not sufficient money for the
people--I mean, of course, available"
money Bankers and financiers have
the power to lock it up where the peo-
pie can not get it. They have been ex-
ercising this power in the United States
for the past 40 years. They are going
to continue to do it so long as Uncle
Sam will permit it. Congress alone
has the authority to ''coin money and
regulate the vslue thereof. and Con-
gress alone has power to relieve this
condition, and fix matters SO that it
can never occur again.
There can be none of that liberty and
freedom and equality Of opportunity of
which you speak so long as money IS
not available for business available
for the people just now just when they
want it.
Speculation in cotton and corn and
wheat and all the products of life, is
bad enough. but for any combination
of financiers to render money nom
available for the people, is crime
against humanity, and if the Govern
ment has any one duty to perform more
urgent than all others, it is to set US
free" from the tyranny of the money
trust.
You and your Congress are going to
Illu IL very uli4lCult W piedSe Win any
currency bill 10th the men who make
their living handling money and the
people who make their living in spite of
the fellows who control the money
market. But since there are about one
thousand of the latter to one of the
former am going to ask that for the
: first time in fifty years you and Con-
gress forget the money changers
and do a little Jeffersonian thinking for
the people who want money to use in
their business as circulating medium.
If you and Uncle Sam will set us
free from the men who make fortunes
out of our misfortunes you will stanc
2 in history as benefactor.
5 G. T. Howerton.

Grenada Grocery Co.

1t affords the Sentinel pleasure at
any time to say a good word about any
body or any enterprise and 1t is always
a very pleasant duty TO commend those
about Grenada that are developing the
town and that are doing what they can
for the social and material betterment
of the community. Grenada has nu-
merous enterprises that have achieved
far more than ordinary success and
that have reflected much credit on the
business judgment and acumen of GER
tain citizens of the town-none of
which have exceeded in this regard the
Grenada Grocery Company. When this
business was begun there We're many
wise ones to prophecy that it could not
succeed so close to Memphis, and that
there was not territory for its develop
ment. But it has succeeded and is
growing all the while, and the concern
deserves all the business that comes to
| it. 1t is a convenience to Grenada mer-
chants, as well as to many others with
in a radius of more than tWo-score
miles of here. 1t is managed and otti-
cered by men who know what they are
about, who will do what they say and
who have the confidence and esteem of
not only a large circle of friends, but
of the commercial world.
j. H. Brown is the president and he
is a gibralta for anything with which
he associates himself c. H. Calhoun
is manager He is live, wide-awake.
progressive young man; he is courte-
Gus, affable and obliging and will make
friend of anybody who is thrown
with him. Aside from this, he has &
discerning mind and knows how to meet
opportunities. With Mr.. Calhnon is as
) sociated w. NJ. Cook, gentleman wht
understands every phase of the whole
sale grocery business and who has haC
wide experience in such affairs AM
: who enjoys wide acquaintance amoni
retail merchants.
The Sentinel repeats that it is glad t
note the success of of the Grenada Gre
Gerry Company and unhesitatingly rec
!, ommends it to the retail trade.

Mrs. |. NJ. HargrOder, Postmaster.

The Sentinel feels sure that the many
friends of Mrs. Lude Moore Hargro-
der will be pleased to learn that she
has been named as postmaster at her
town, Church Point, La. There were a
large number to take the civil service
examination at the same time Mrs.
Hargroder did, but she made the high
est grade. This, however, is no sur
prise to her old friends in Grenada.
The Sentinel congratulates the patrons
of the postoffice at Church Point and
guarantee them in advance competent
and accommodating service.

Alabama Normal College

Livingston, May 29.-(Special)-On the
morning of Wednesday, May 2S, the grad
uating class of the Alabama Normal col
lege received their diplomas amid the
applause of a representative gathering of
the citizens of Livingston and visitors
from all over the state.

five professional graduates, four in art
six in piano, and two in public school
music, making a grand total of 43. Besides
this 80 received certificates in public

touches of humor impressed upon the aud
ience his views as to the responsibility OF
parents He pointed out the growing
danger to our land from degeneracy, say
ing that degeneracy, rather than illiteraey
filled him with alarm. The illiterate is
negative quantity, the degenerate is
positive influence for evil. Parents must
give their children sterner ideals of duty
Mr.. Lavender addressed his remarks
mainly to the graduating class. He gave
them much valuable advice, incidentally
setting forth his views on woman suf-
frage. He very earnestly impressed upon
the class their importance to society,"
dwelling at length, as was betting, upon
the splendid opportunities which as teach
ers they would have to mould character,
