Beavers To Stand
On His Record

Atlanta, July 3.-The executive
ability of Chief James L. Beavers,
as an independent issue separate
from the question of whether he has
been right or wrong in listening to
the wishes of the Men and Religion
leaders, is apparently the PROPOSE
ton on which the chief will stand
or fall in the police commission.
The report of the probe committee,
Which was made UP of men sever
al of whom were heartily in ,sympa-
the with the anti vice crusade of
Men and Religion, set forth that
from an efficiency standpoint the
Atlanta police department was woe
fully lacking, and that friction be-
tween the various branches Prevent

Jailed To Save His Life

Atlanta, July 3.-To prevent
him from committing suicide, the
police have locked up r. L.
Beverly, the young man who
wrote poetry about the sadness of
life and then turned on the gas.
Beverly, who is we'll educated
and refined young man of good
family, was down in his luck, and
was found dav before Yesterday
in his boarding house room on
Capitol avenue, half dead from the
fumes of gas which he had turned
on with suicidal intent. On the
table besides his bed were found
scraps of poetry and epigrams all
bearing on the futility and ipius.
tice of life.
Beverly was taken first to the
Grady hospital where he fully
recovered, but when he was sent
back to his boarding house he be-
gan to brood again, and the kind
hearted landlady, purely from the
wish to save the young mans life,
called in the aid of the police.
Beverly has been placed in a
comfortable cell at police head
quarters, without any specific
charge being docketed against him
and is watched continually. while
efforts are being made to cheer
him up and if possible to get him
to agree to go to work and try to
get fresh start

Locker Clubs Re-Opened

Atlanta, July 3-All the locker
clubs in Atlanta are open again,
and running full swing. The clos
ing order which put nine of them
out of business at midnight Wed
nesday was short lived, as it was
not considered fair to them to
keep them closed while other clubs
were operating and while the gen.
eral issue was still hanging in the
balance.
Mayor Woodward's veto has put
all the clubs back now sat the
post'' as he expresses it, with a
practically even chance of getting
by council or not getting by.
1t looks now as if they will eth
er all remain open and be granted
new licences, or will all be closed.

TaIbert TO be Chief Deputy.

The Register understands that Mr..
H. S. Sharpe who has managed the
Walnut Grove plantation at Rena Lara
for the past fifteen or eighteen years.
has accepted position as manager for
Mr.. J. O. Baugh at Sherard. and will
look after this property in the future.
This change was made necessary
from the fact that Mr.. Baugh has
moved his family to the city to reside
since he will be inducted into the sher-
if office on the first Monday in Janu
ary and to the further fact that his
main plantation man. Mr.. j. c. Taylor.
will also move to the city. having been
appointed deputy sheriff.
"As previously stated, Mr.. H. l.. Tai
bert will be Mr.. Baugh's chief office
deputy and Mr.. G. G. Lacy will be Mr..
Talbert's assistant.
The above from the Clarksdale Reg
ister conveys the gratifying intelligence
that Mr.. H. l.. Talbert is to be the
chief deputy in the Office of the incom-
ing sheriff of Coahoma county Sheriff
Baugh has chosen wisely Mr.. Talbert
was Mr. Baughs deputy in this office
! from Jan. /. 1868. to Jan. 1912, and the
feet that he has again named Mr.. Tai
bert for this important place shows
that the people of Coahoma county
knew what they were about when they
elected him.
Mr.. ralbert is former Grenada boy
and is worthy of any good thing tina
comes to him.

Press Notice.

l,2OO. 900 Red Cross Christmas Seals
have been distributed from the state
headquarters for sale in Mississippi
this year. This means that an average
of ten persons in every town lover 3OO
inhabitantsl have received these cherry
little reminders of the winning fight
our Commonwealth is making against
the Great White Plague.
Last year 600, 900 seals were distrlb-
uted; this year l,200.0 seals have
been distributed. This fact speaks for
itself of the interest the public is tax
ing in this tuberculosis problem.
Local interest in the sale is spread
ing cheerfully from town to town.
Public men and women are giving their
time and thought to this work. 10
date Sc towns are conducting local
sales. Though, for the most part those
acting as agents are as usual the de-
voted club women, there are also many
others. Postmasters, merchants, prln'
cipals of schools. and in one instance
youthful agent of twelve years, little
Miss Cora Petrie of Lambert, Miss.
All are enthusiastic workers in sell
ing the seals, and so spreading the
gospel of hope to the sufferers and o

l;Iaud Hall Announces for Reelection.

The Seminal directs attention of its
Grenada readers to the announcement
of Mr.. Claud Hall who seeks re-elec.
tion to the office of City Marshal OF
Grenada. Mr.. Hall has been public
factor in Grenada for number of years
and the people as awhole know whether
or no he has pleased them as an official
and they should also know whether or
not he has measured up to the proper
standards in the service he has render
ed With these facts before them they
should be ready to say about his reten-
tion in office. Of course Mr.. Hall would
not claim to be perfect nor would he
assert that he has made no mistakes,
vet such admissions are those that every
human being ought to make. None will
deny that Mr.. Hall is strictly and abso-
utely honest and he has undoubtedly
endeavored to render faithful service.
Unoues tionably there is better law

Rev. 7. 6. freeman
Announces for Treasurer

The Sentinel is authorized to make
formal announcement of the candidacy
of Rev. T. G. Freeman for the office of
CITY Treasurer of Grenada.
Mr.. Freeman has had long and hon
nred career in the ministry of the
Methodist church but for the past tif-
teen years has been on the retired list
of that church and has been making
his home in this city. The people have
had fine opportunity to know him in
timately and to measure him carefully.
commen, then by The Sentinel would
seem to be superfluous. He is a man
of decided opinions and of strong con-
victions and has been bold to proclaim
his position about most public ques-
tions. That he is honest goes without
saving and that he is capable in every
way Of discharging the duties of the
office which he seeks will also go with
out controversy, it ther efore follows
that if he is elected to the office whlcf
he is aspiring to the public may rest
assured that all funds committed to his
custody will be properly accounted for

of cotton on account of the war and

ment has reduced our people to con-
dition which they have not suffered for
many years. But the southern people
are optimistic. patient, brave and long

evitabe with a smile. But they are
not in favor of any more taxation now,
and present conditions will not justify
their senators and representatives in
Congress in imposing any additional
burdens upon them.
Il do not think twenty per cent of
the people of the South are in favor of
the Presidents preparedness scheme.
If it were submitted to a vote of the
white people of Mississippi it would not
get enough votes to fill President Will
sons large hat
The advocates of preparedness are
working industriously in some of the
towns of Mississippi-all sorts Of
schemes are being devised to misleat
the people and obscure the truth. Blu
their efforts will avail little. The rip

One Of the most beautiful Gus
toms that has ever prevailed in
Natchitoches, is one adopted by
The Mutual Aid several years ago
the one that appeals most to the
general public and it is the giving
of the sweet spirit of Santa Claus,
that rightfully belongs to every
child.
There are many children in
Natchitoches who would face the
probability of cherries Christ
mas If it were not for the Mutual
Aid, but as it is, not one little tot
but will have his or her visit from
Santa Claus, if the good people Of
Natchitoches respond as they
always do. And we are sure they
will, as they are che most generous
and thoughtful people in the
world and will give much of their
own to make some one else happy.
So amid your many plans for the
coming Yule tide remember the
custom of the Mutual Aid and
plan the filing of a good pair of
serviceabIe stockings with goodies,
toys and a little coin so that the
little fellow will have his own
