J. R. Brewer Dies.

Mr.. ]. R. Brewer of Holcomb died
on his farm near Phillip last Saturday,
after a brief illness of hematuriaand.
His remains were inferred in the bury
ing ground at jefferson, Carroll county,
the next day. Mr.. Brewer was stout,
robust man and his demise emphasizes
the truth that death is no respecter of
persons. He had reared large family
and was upright in his dealings; His
motto, "Pay your debts" was largely
his religious creed. He was born anc
reared in Carroll county and moved t
Holcomb about twelve years ago. IL

W." '''''G DRUG SIoRtS-
Or. Semmes Purchases Hughes Drug
Store. Will Operate Two Store.

D. 0. Semmes, proprietor of the End
Glass Drug Store, has purchased the
Hughes Drug Store, corner of Main
and First streets, and will continue the
business, thereby operating two drug
stores. H. E. Duggins, a pharmacist
who graduated at the State University
in June, and who was reared in this
county, and Jay Gore, the accommoda
ing young man who has been with the
Hughes Drug Store for the past few
months, will be prescription clerks in
the store and one and all may rest as
sured that they will continue to receive
fair treatment and correct values at
this well known establishment.
The transfer of this business to DR..
Semmes will be the first time in half a
century WI there has not been a
a. store in Grenada, and
erk .,.ct the change is sad.
DR.. Semmes is an unique character.
He is a man of few words and will do
what he says about any business prop
osition and in this day when there is
so much fol de rol about so many things,
it is refreshing to deal with a man in
whom you can implicitly rely. He has
succeeded in Grenada not because OF
his looks, but because of his correct
conduct with his customers and because

hearts of those who know him best.
While not as well known IN Grenada

No Politics in This..VOter Free.

Imputing the wrong, or some ulterior
motive to the otherwise most splendid
and sincere effort or expression of men
and women, has weakened many good
cause and obstructed the onward sweep
of reformation or the initiation of a
movement of whatsoever character
made necessary in the face of obvious
demand.
Instead of acknowledging the salutary
effect upon official life in our state thru
the Governors probe which has laid
bare whatever of delinquency there has
been in certain public Institutions and
that has answered a wide public de-
mand for just such action as Mr.. Brew
er and the legislature have taken, the
cry of politics" is raised IN many
quarters to discountenance the chief
executives plans and purposes.
Now it may be that the accusation is
just. The Leader is inclined to believe
that when the hour is come, Governor
Brewer will line up and be counted
among the candidates for the United
States Senatorship, as he has perfect
right to do; but while this may be, the
people of The state may still proudly
accredit him with having honored his

that has been incumbent G, loA@
ernor of the state as such\ -. yet not
feel compelled, because of this, to fur
ther distinguish Mr.. Brewer as pub
lie official. Why should this hue ant
cry be raised against the Governor
motive in his Investigations, when ou
state is undoubtedly the beneficiary ant
there is no law written or unwritten II
compel the unpurchasable vote from al
untrammeled people?
Let the Governor proceed and dis
tinguish his Office with the furthe
prosecution of probes that meet tn
approval OF the citizen with an ey
single to the ultimate good of the stat
and to officialdom with its more or les
cultivated conscience that seems alway
to need further incentive than tha
found in its own approval. The fea
of public exposure which this Missi!
sippi probing is arousing in the breast
of public servants will serve throug
! years to come as a deterrent and pr
lection to the states interests, and M
only this, but as a safeguard TO tt
character itself of the Office holder.
