tx.Supreme Judge Says

Ex-Supreme Judge VIM. c. Mclean

mends J. A. Teat most highly as a Cir
cult Judge. Judge Mclean 5 legal
ability in Mississippi is too well known
to need any comment from The Senti-
mel. and it would appear to the fair
minded man anywhere that the ablest
and best lawyers of the State are com
mending Judge Teat's judicial record.
Judge Mclean is in no sense in politics
and has never been regarded as a par
tisan hence what he states must be
regarded as coming from a man who
desired to do even handed justice.
Judge Mclean said:
II wish to say of Judge j. A. Teat,
who is a candidate to succeed himself
as Circuit Judge of this district. that
he has been an able and upright Judge
and very efficient public official; The
scales of Justice have been evenly bal
anced in his hands and in my judgment
he has shown an honest desire to be
fair and just at all times

To the Voters of the

The Editor of The Grenada Sentinel
who is friend of Judge Teat, has
published in his paper letter written
by me in October; 1913. to Hon. j. r.
Tally of Hattiesburg in which l pro-
posed to support that gentleman for
Governor. 1t was my intention at
that time to do this, but after the trial
of Hobbs at Vicksburg, seeing the
"Frame-up" changed my mind and
afterwards wrote to Mr.. Tally asking
him to release me from the promise,
which he promptly did.
| then wrote Gov. Bilbo that would
support him, and during his trial in
Jack son gave him material aid, which
he appreciated. had always been a
friend of Gov. Bilbo, having voted for
him in the election of 1911. On account
of long acquaintance with Mr.. Tally,
he having been reared in Leake county
where formerly resided, decided to
give him my support; but when | dis
covered the great injustice that was
being done Gov. Bilbo | felt it my duty
to support him. Mr. Talley is an hon
orable gentleman, and denies that he
ever allowed either the original letter
or copy of it to be had at ones soli-
citation t. be handed to any one for
publication or other use. made a

CIRCUIT COURT
STILL IN SESSION.
brand Jury Reported Nineteen Bills.
Officers Commended.

The grand jury concluded its labors
last Saturday morning and made its
final report to the court. Altogether
l9 true bills were returned. Judue
Buckley took occasion to compliment
the grand jury very highly on the dill
gence of its labors and the result of the
work accomplished. The Judge also
pald very high tribute to the officers
OF Grenada county. He said he had
never seen their superior, and especially
did ne commend them for standing for
law enforcement The Judge intimated
very strongly that it was a habit with
too many sheritfs to wink at the law
breaker and he said the state hardly
got fair start with such sheriffs in
the trial of criminal cases.
District Attorney Scott made a rec
ord never before made in this county
last week. There were % Grimm al
cases tried and the state secured a
conviction in %. only one got by. This
speaks we'll not only for Mr.. Scott but
for the petit juries who sat in these
cases and is tribute to the law en-
forcing sentiment of Grenada county.
The juries are to be congratulated, for
in the courts rest the safety of the
home and the protection of life and
property. The presiding Judge did his
part in this commendable work. The
judge on the bench is the real power of
the court and plays a very important
part in strengthening the moral tone
and backbone of the juries. The Judge
who is tendertoed for the man charged
with crime has no place on the circuit
bench or Mississippi.

Elderly Physician Endorses Teat.

As rule there are few people who
are better posted as to the sentiment of
the community than the doctors. They
go in and out of the homes of the com
munity and are in better position to
keep tab on the drift of public sent-
ment than almost anybody else. AS
rule, too, doctors are usually conserva-
tive men and their opinions along these
lines are fairly accurate. The follow
ing is reply made by DR.. j. H. Port
wood of Kosciusko, one of the older
physicians of that section to the letter
of gentleman in this county who was
desirous of knowing the drift of senti
ments sins sAttalla county. DR.. Portwood

"lt has been my pleasure to be
very close to Judge Teat since
his childhood and can only speak
praises for him, and Will say
that he deserves great deal
OF credit for having risen To his
present mental capacities as the
greater part has been accom-
plished by his own efforts" The
| Doctor writes:
Dear Sir:-ln reply to your favor of

candidates from this county which of
course will largely divide the vote; each
candidate has some very enthusiastic
friends and they seem to be at work in
good earnest for their favorite. | am
not in politics, yet so far as | am able
to determine, l feel that Judge Teat
will carry the county. His judicial
acts are not assailed by any one here.
1t has been my pleasure to be very
close to Judge Teat since his childhood
and can only speak praises for him,
and will say that he deserves great
deal of credit for having risen to his
present mental capacities, as the greater
part has been accomplished by his own
efforts. Yours truly.

most all the buildings around the pub
lie square are their output. In many
