Not Pleased With Road Payments and Other Thinqs.

Editor Sentinel:
As citizen and taxpayer of Grenada
county | ask space in your paper to
give my impressions of some acts OF
the board of supervisors of this county,
and what | shall say is without malice
and without any desire to embarrass these
officials in their actions. There are no
public officers that more nearly touch
each and every citizen than the super
visors. They pass upon the property
values OF all the people; they spend the
money paid into the county treasury
and it is to them that we must look to
keep up county Improvements. They
are the agents of the public, employed
to do certain work and as any other
agents, their work is subject to review
and they should be willing to carry out
the wishes of those who put them in
authority.
If the citizens of the county had kept
a closer track of the work of former
boards of supervisors, l hardly think
that county warrants would now be
selling at 80 and IS cents on the dollar.
Tick killing, and still we must march
over and up and down the county with
loaded batteries for these vermin; road
building, and still all agree that our
roads are by no means up to the stand
ard they should be when the cost is
considered-these things with much
other loose business wonld not have run
to where it has, had more of us been
on the watch. | mention these things
only as an object lesson and while this
was done by former boards, it appears
that the present board is starting out
to travel in the same old rut. Neigh
borhood ties, friendly feelings and bust
ness relations, fear, prompt members
of the board to show lenency to road
contractors in their beats that leads TO
the payment for roads that are not up
to contract and are far from what a
road costing $50. 90 mile should be.
At the April meeting the following
order was adopted:
Resolved by the Board that COM
mittee of two members of this Board
be appointed by the President, who.
together with an accountant to be
selected by the Board, meet on the 10th

Finds Wooden Shoe on Horn Island

Mr.. Roy Doak returned few days
ago from an outing with Mr.. d. G..
Ross on Horn Island where the Gulf
breezes were enjoyed and much angl-
ing was done for the finny tribe. Fish
ing was unusully successful, Mr.. Doak
reports.
Mr.. Doak picked up large wooden
shoe which was evidently made for the
foot of some Hollander and was most
probably left on the island by some of
the crew of one of the lumber ships
that sail between GulfpOrt and ports of
Holland. The shoe has a canoe-like
appearance and shows the age of many
months. 1t is unique find and will
prove an interesting link in what was
and what is.

Field Day al Public School
A Day of SNnri and Profit

Wednes 1ay was Field Day" at Gre
naaa Pubic school. The day was
planned for last Friday when ii was
hoped to have quite large number of
the children from the rural schools
present nut the rain interfered, hence
1t was decided to give Wednesday the
exercises planned Tor last Friday.
The children We're out in their cOlors
and some in appropriate uniforms and
1t was day of games, the west ward
VS.. the east ward. Basket ball, run
nlng, rope pulling and egg catching and
Suhdry other sports to appeal to the
athletlc spirit as well as to quicken the
talents and sharpen the intellect. The
rlvalry was wholesome and put spirit
or zeal and earnestness into the school
that can not fail to do good. The din
ner served was bounteous and would
have done credit to even a sure enough
country picnic where there is always
found something good to ear. There
were quite a number of the parents
and grown-ups of the town present
throughout the day and a few of par
ents and children from the country.
Besides the athletic features and the
dinner, each and every department of
the school had on display various ex-
hiblts showing some of the work being
zone IN literary way by the classes
all of which was highly credible to both
the pupils and to the teaches as well.
All the teachers as well as Superintend-
ent Hall entered heartily into the spirit
of the day and Prof. Hall and his corps
or instructors were indeed kept busy
IN looking after all the details of the

ing without taking any steps whatever
to collect what Crook alleged to be due
or making any move to inquire into
same. AT the April meeting, two mem
bers of the board were appointed to 90
over Crook report and these two mem
bers were given the power or authority
TO employ competent accountant to
go over the report with them. With
all Difference to the clerical experience
and ability of the two members of the
board, | must say that they are lust
about as competent to perform this
task as they would be to read original
Hebrew. If it is necessary to review
Crooks 5 work, why was this not done
before he was paid the $500? 1t looks
like either childs play or that the board
is trying to find some loop hole to allow
those who have been checked up as
owing the county to escape OF course
those charged in the auditors report
are entitled to a full, free and fair
ceed TO try to collect from them. These
matters should be gone at as the mem
bers of the board would similar thing
in their own affairs.
1t appears in most instances that the
board hardly knows its own mind about
the simplest matters and that they feel
that they must call upon the attorney
for the board about what to do and
what not to do about the most trivial
1t would have been better.
perhaps, for the county had these men
realized their incompetency-that is if
that is what makes them daily about
so many matters now-before their
election.
The critical eye of the public is going
to be upon what this board is doing
The taxpayers realize that the county's
affairs have been badly handled too
much in the past. 1t is action now that
is wanted and not resouting and talk.
What about Crooks report and the
50, 500 paid him? What about the
81, 700 errors, omissions and irregu-
larities' charged by Crook in his re-
port against others?

day of April, 1916, for the purpose Of
investigating the matter of errors anc
omissions and charges against certain
county officials as contained in the re.
port of Lewis E. Crook, in his audit OF
the officials of Grenada County hereto.
fore adopted by this Board and that
all parties who appear from said report
to be in arrears with Grenada County be
notified ty the Clerk of this Board to
appear before said committee on the
above date, and that said committee,
together with said accountant, return
their report of their action herein at
the May, 1916, meeting of this Board.
The committee appointed from said
Board being as follows: Wv Horton,
l. 7 Hayden.
''Mr S NJ Cain is hereby appointed
and named by the Board as an accoun-
tant to act with said committee, but if
the said Cain should refuse to act, the
above named committee is hereby vest
ed with the power and authority to en-
ploy an accountant to act in the place
and stead of said Cain; and it is futher
ordered that Lewis E Crook be, by the
Clerk of this Board. summoned to ap-
pear before said committee on said
date to assist in the investigation by
them of said audit.
From the above it seems to me that
the board is pursuing a course in regard
to the report made by Auditor l.. E.
Crook that is indefensible. Mr. Crook
was appointed upon the petition of the
required number of taxpayers of the
county to come here and go over the
books of the county for the past eight
years and the law provides for just
what was done. Mr.. Crook is an ex-
pert in this line of work, he has been
doing it for years. He stands well in
the state He is one of the State Bank
commissioners; but when he was about
to conclude his work here and it leaked
out that there were ''errors, omissions
and Irregularities, and some of it
against former county and beat Off
calls, amounting to several thousand
dollars, the board reared back on its
launches and gave the impression that
they would not receive the report nor
pay the man for his work. Gov. Biabo

The board of trustees Of the Grenada

reelected Prot, S. Claud Hall superin-

Miss Hughes and her Work

Miss Annabell Hughes has been
named to do the canning club and
domestic science work of this county
by Miss Susie V. Powell, of the A. 4
M. College, who is the director of the
work in this state, is taking hold of
the situation with zeal and with re-
markable cleverness and The Sentinel
bespeaks for Miss Hughes the aid. en-
enlargement and the cooperation of the
good people of the county. This is her
first work of the kind but she has been
well trained and shows skill that
would do credit to one of extended ex
perlence. What she is undertaking
will prove of incalculable benefit to the
entire county but to get the best re-
suits she needs to have the support and
the cooperation of the people and The
Sentinel believes she will get this.
