The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-03-12

The second day Of the session, we
find that Russell introduced and secur-
ed the passage of the following resolu-
ton: page 81
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Senate be, and he is hereby, authorized
to employ two competent stenograph-
ers for the Senate and the compensa-
ton will be five dollars a day"
This was really the first extra"
that Faulkner, RusselPs partner, got
When the legislature provided that the
secretary should get 500 day, it was
not intended as straight salary for
his own service, but as an adequate
sum with which he should pay all the
subordinate clerks and stenographers
he needed to attend to the clerical work
of the Senate. When the State paid
stenographers, it simply relieved Faulk-
ner OF the necessity of employing any
out of his salary.
In the meantime Senator Burkett,
who likewise stood close to Bilbo, had
worked through resolution that Bibo
should name three pages. page 81
Two weeks passed by, and then Sena-
tor Potter, who is now secretary of
Bilbo's campaign committee, got thru
a resolution (page 1867 to pay Joe
Whitfield. Dud Taylor. John Avent and
Henry Patton, all negroes, 81 day

A. Olson and John Martin
txpeCt To Be Busy

The Sentinel being always ready to
aid in any good work and to further
any laudable enterprise, as well to fos-
ter the commendable efforts OF any
citizen, takes pleasure in announcing
to the ladies of Grenada county that at
the organization of the Grenada county
live stock association here last Satur-
day, Messrs A. Olson and John Martin
were named. at their request, as
committee to solicit the membership OF
the ladies. The constitution OF the as
sociation provides for the membership
Of the ladies.
The only hesitancy the association
had about naming these two very eX-
cellent gentlemen was the fact OF their
we'll known timidity and their failure
for the past several years to enlist the
sympathy of any lady in them person
ally. They both offered excuses which
satisfied the association about their
personal failures and. thinking that
they might have another chance, to
crafty their long deferred hopes, while
at the same time serving the associa-
tion, they were designated for this I'm,
portant work. 1t is understood, and
the ladies are requested to bear this IN
mind. that they are first to talk i've

NEGRO ACCUSED OF
POISONING WELL.
NeighbOrhOOd Stirred by Alleged Crime

There has been quite little excite

miles no.'th west of Grenada, cEer an
alleged pollution of the waters of TIE
we'll used by Mr.. G. f. Thomas and
family on his farm. A negro by the
name of Jim Robinson is under arrest
charged with the offense. A trial was
to be had on Friday of last week before
the justice of the peace of that district
but owing to the excitement and the
fact. too. that the waters of the well
had not been submitted to a chemist
caused the trial to be postponed 1t is
claimed that Mr.. Thomas and several
members of his family became i'll and
showed symptoms of poisoning. The
negro under arrest had been seen lurk-
ing around the well several times and
upon investigation small sack con-
taining something having the appear
ence OF -four was found in the bottom
of the we'll
That community has acquired little
celebrity of late because of various and
sundry things connected with the color
ed population. Sometime last fall Just
few miles west where this otfense Is
charged. it was claimed that there were
efforts to white cap certain negroes
and naturally those who had negro ten
ants became apprehensive lest their
labor should be run Off The matter of

guilty, punishment will unquestionsb bly,

Durant, March I6. II. Is.

The Baptist State Sunday School Con-
vention. a Statewide organization and
e.of the largest religious gatt erings
in the State. will convene at Durant,
March l6, II. 1S. An exceptionally fine
program has been arranged containing
the names of some of the best Sunday
School experts in the South.
There are, in Mississippi, about one
thousand Sunday Schools with an en-
rollment of something over two hum
dred thousand. and with teaching
force of more than ten thousand.
Last year over fifty district, associa-
rion, and county conventions were or
ganized. These are all affiliated with
the State Convention and will send rep
resentatives.
DIR. j. Benz. Lawrence, Correspond
ing Secretary of the State Convention
Board and General Superintendent of
denominational affairs for the Baptsts
of the State. feels sure that the con-
vention at Durant, will be one of the
largest religious gatherings as well as
one of the most helpful meetings held
in Mississippi this year.
Every one interested in Sunday
School work should make arrangements
to attend. All who attend are assured
that the program will be one of great
inspirational and educational power

Then resolution page ll04) got
through that Fred Crow Ia Jim Crow
be allowed from the city of Jackson to
Okolona, Miss, his home, mileage at
the rate of five cents per mile.
Senator Saunders then got through
his resolution, page ll06) that where
as, the work of the secretary was so
laborious, that Mr.. John Faulkner, ,Jr.
Russell's lawpartner, be allowed out
of the contingent fund OF the Senate
twenty-five days extra, at the rate al
lowed by law
While that rate was not stated in the
resolution, it happened to be twenty
dollars day. so it footed up nice tidy
sum $500, enough to buy farm.
Then w. H. Rees. doorkeeper, was
allowed page 1920 three days extra
compensation. for services TO BE rem

services were.

he started it, with the following reso-

MR.. HURT SEEKS
TO EXPLAIN.
Something More About Dead
Bank at Meridian.

Editor Sentinel:-It is not my pur-
pose to indulge in any controversy over
the affairs Of the defunct Union Bank
& Trust Company of this city. Suck
affairs DO not concern me and | am sure
would not be interesting to your read
ers. even if you were kind enough to
grant space for me to tell what know
which may or may not extend from
Dan to Bersheeba. The only point
that | attempted to make in my COM
munication to Tie Sentinel last week
was that Hon J. NJ. McBeath of this
city was not such man as should be
used a. a raw head and bloody bones
to frighten voters away from any can
didate for Office who happened to have
his support. So your criticism of the
Union Bank & Trust Company affairs
never touched me. nor did il have
any bearing on what | conceived to be
your unwarranted attack on Mr.. Ne
Beath. Since you discaim, however.
any purpose to do him an injustice.
there seems to be nothing al issue be
tween US, though | would like to re-
peat that the directors of the Union
Bank & Trust Company had signed an
agreement, and it is matter Of record.
to pay S4s, 800 from their own pockets.
if necessary, to reimburse depositors,
the same being made part of the re-
cord at the time Chancellor Whitman
made the : per cent fee allowance
This, with what will be collected, will
more than pay all depositors and the
agreement was legally contracted long
before Gov. Brewer asked Attorney
General Ross Collins to take hand N
the matter.
1t may be little bit aside. but it has
occurred to NE that the state of Mis-
sissippi should not drop criminal prose
cutions or indictments simply because
those Interested in a defunct bank mak-
good the money that has been deposit
ed. If officers Of bank arr guilty of
receiving money for deposit when the
bank is insolyent, they are Just a.
guilty whether they privately pay the
deposltCrs or do not pay them. If they
are guilty Of wrong-doing, the pay
ment OF money does not remove that
guilt hence | told that the state has
no right to allow It's courts u be used
as collection agencies. not TO enforce
the law. but to get money. One direc-
tor, al least, has taken this view, and
he demanded a trial more than year
ago.
Thanking you for the space you have
kindly allowed me for making a de-
Tense of friend, unjustly assailed, a.
thought. and with fraternsl good
wishes. | am,
Very respectfully.

THE SENATE RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.


From recent issue of the Jones
County News the following is taken:
The Journal of the Session of 1914,
the first session in which Bilbo secured
control of the Senate, and this Journal
shows that Russell was on a hot -rail
for the pie counter, as soon as he reach
ed jackson, and he not only got his
share of the plums, but considerably
more than his share, due to the fact
that he stood so close to Bilbo, al ID
thus near the place they came froh.
Secretary of the Senate, for his lak-
partner, John Faulkner, Jr. The nom
ination of Faulkner was by Russell and
it was seconded by Capt. Burkett.
Thereafter, whenever an opportunity
occurred the money was chunked to

cation.
