Governor-elect Charles Hillman
Brough, of Arkansas, is visiting the
State Colleges of Mississippi this
week and giving a series of lectures
to the Young Mems and Young
| Women's Christian Associations Of
each.
Sentinel readers remember that
Gov. Brough was born and reared in
Mississippi and that he took his de-
gree at the University of this State.
For number of years he was at the
head of the University of Arkansas,
which place he filled with distinction
and with great credit. SO practical
was he, and such an insight did he
display into the political and Geo.
nomic affairs of the country that his
people this year called him to the
Governorship. Such profound rea
soner was he regarded, and so per-
suasive is he on the stump, that the
Democratic National Campaign Com
mittee sent him during the campaign
into twelve different states of the
North to make speeches for Woodrow
Wilson, and in the language of Gre
nada's departed and widely known
citizen. Capt. j. J. Slack, "Wherever
he spoke there the simmons fell the
thickest. He is one Of the coun-
try's great men, and all loyal Mis-
sissippians take pride in claiming him
as their own.
The writer was associated with him
this week at the State University and
found him to be not only magnetic
on the platform, but delightfully."-
pleasant and charming socially. He
knows humanity and how to deal
with his fellows in such way as to
always leave the most pleasing i'm
pressions.
All of his addresses at the Univer-
sity were most highly commended by
one and all. The writer heard his
address to the student body Tuesday
evening on "America's Opportuni-
ties" 1t was great deliverance.
1t was one that appealed to the high
est and best in young manhood and |
showed the very loftiest conceptions
of the duties of citizenship, of edu-
Gators and public officials 1t would |
he difficult to follow him in brief |
write up. He said so many things
worthy of special note and comment.
but one thing he said, especially, the
writer thinks should be burned INTO
the American heart at this time, and
that Is his. declaration that statistics
show that S3 per cent Of the Grim
inality. 81 per cent of the insanity
and 63 per cent of the illiteracy of |
the Nation is brought to the United
States by foreign immigration.
DR.. BrOugh made special inquiry
about number of Grenadians, some
Of whom are passed over the river.
He asked particularly about the good
and departed Capt. John Powell, the
Leighs and Judge and Mrs. VIM. c.
Mclean.
The public school children and a
number of citizens of Grenada were
at the depot when he passed through
Wednesday at noon to express in the
few minutes he was here Grenada's
appreciation of him.
In an address of about fifteen min
utes in length the Governor recount
ed some of his school days in Missis-
sippi and congratulated the young
generation upon the marvellous op-
portunities of the age. He urged
them to be progressive and public
spirited and to hold fast to that
which is good in the days of their
youth. He declared that President
Wilson was over million and
quarter votes stronger than his party
and was reelected President of the
United States on account of his pro-
and sterling manhood.
