'. R. James is Commended.
Editor Sentinel:

CultOr Sentlnel.
Please allow country school teacher
space in your paper to pay a tribute to
the service Mr.. V. R. James, our
present county superintendent of edu-
cation, has retSdered to Grenada county.
MIR. James is more man of deeds than
of words. He is of retiring natufe
and is not wont to push himself for
ward. What he does he does quietly
and orderly without the blare of trum-
pets. AS an humble worker in the
public schools of the county, have had
abundant opportunity to measure his
work. to study the man and to under
stand what he has endeavored to do.
am sure that the schools of this county
will class up we'll with any other coun-
ty in the state. | am also sure that
our sceool houses and school room
equipment will class up with any other
county, and the credit for all this is
largely due Mr.. James. He is in inti-
mate touch with the homes and the
children of the county and l am sure
will render that service which expe-
rience and knowledge will enable him
to do if he is reelected. He has given
his time and the best that is in him to
our scool work. He has the confidence
and esteem of the teachers as we'll as
the patrons of the schools and the fu-
ture is just now opening opportunities
to US as teachers that Mr.. James alone
will be able to utilize. I really think
that it would not only be an injustice
to Mr.. James not to again elect him,
but that it would be greater injustice
to the public schools of the county.
When the time comes tn retire Mr.
James think we should chose his sue
cessor from the ranks of the teachers.
There is time that it is unwise to run
the risk of swapping horses.
Very truly,
TEACHER,
Kincaid, Miss.

To the People of the County:
l am deeply sensible of the honor you

Office and that you have faith in me as
a man. shall do my level best to
make you a better officer than ever

helped me in this race and have nothing
but. the tenderest feelings for those
who voted for my opponent.

that it is really a pleasure to visit every
portion of the county. We shall not
forget these kindnesses.
The run-off between my friend, Mr..
Williams, and myself will be conducted
upon high plane. without any unfair
ness or unkindness. Each of US is
making the race upon his own merits.
Most of my people know me and what
l have stood for, il others do not, then
l shall be pleased if they will make in
quiry of my friends who can tell them
before they cast their ballots.
You have no idea how very much
appreciate the endorsement have al
ready received in the first primary. 1t
