Vandervyn.
Hardy waited until the Indian boy
had served the soup. At last he sue
ceeded In fixing the cool gaze Of his
hostess. "Please do not consider that
hospitality requires you to do me the
favor, Miss Dupont" he said. II do
not wish to intrude. highly as I should
appreciate"
The Difference of his manner soothed

and combined a friendly response with
n side thrust at her father:
Indeed, we shall be delighted to
have you Captain Hardy--I. because Of
your company. and Pere because Of the

His faith was justified by each sue

tables had come out OF cans. they were
prepared with consummate skill. The
trout were fresh from the creek; the
grouse and beef had beer hung exactly

icehouse; the champagne was frappe.

good cheer. and the cordiallty of his

wholly severe expression had given
place to genial animation.
Upon the return OF the hostess from

Vandervyn smiled over his cham

Marie was looking at him. But Hardy
was watching her. He saw her proud
face soften and her brilliant eyes melt
with tender passion. His own face
became grave. A moment later she was
rallying him for his seriousness. and
her animation Don compelled him TO
forget what he had seen. vandervyn
had not been mistaken In his assertion
that she could act the lady to perfec-

ANTI-SLOT MACHINE
ORDINANCE SUSTAINED.
Special Ordinance to Go to Supreme
Court.

1t will be recalled that two or three
months ago the City Council of Gre
NADIA passed special ordinance seek
ing to knock out the punch boards,
slot machines and kindred devices in
the city of Grenada which it was be-
iieved was doing incalculable harm
especially to the small boys who, it
was believed by many, were getting
tae gambling spirit by dropping in
their nickles from time 10 time. A
test case was made before the recent
term of the circuit court and Judge
Polgers sustained the ordinance and
so also did a jury of " elve men give
their approval to the enforcement of
the ordinance. 1t is understood that
the case will be appealed to the Su-
preme Court and it is well that il
should, for the matter will then reach
final adjudication and it will be
known whether or not city or town
operating under special charter
and not the Code can pass specia
ordinances to cover what are regard
ed as offenses untouched by statutes
Grenada is operating under specia
charter and not under the Code.

CARS
LIVESTOCK SHIPPED
During the Months of December and
January Alone There Was $50, 900
Worth of Live Stock Shipped From
Grenada.

During the months of December
and January there were shipped from
Grenada 27 carloads of live stock,
or somewhere approximating $780,
10000 worth This will go a long
way towards meeting the deficit in
the cotton crop in Grenada county
and is indeed an encouraging sign.
II is a pretty good record for peo-
pie who are just embarking in stock
aising, who are just learning the
alphabet of things besides cotton. II
the number of cars were counted for
the months of October and Novem-
ber, these figures would run much
higher, but twenty-five thousand dol
/ lars a month is pretty good show
ling. Undoubtedly it will be long
Ewhile before the world catches up
with the food problem; in fact. it
would seem that the population Of
the world is increasing while the hog
.sand cattle industry has been decreas-
ing. There used to be a great num-
Der of sheep raised but the number
cf sheep within the United States
have fallen off more than 25 per cent
I. during the last ten years. This should
hot be so. Sheep are valuable, not
only for food, but there is a far
/. greater profit in them, that of their
wool, than in the meat. Everybody
knows that wooden goods, like most
other things of late, have been going
Up and up, and for the past few
years all ground holding seems to
have been cut loose and they have
gone skyward. One of the reasons
for this is the scarcity of sheep.
Only last week one of the good
farmers of the county who learned
several years ago the wisdom of rails
ing feedstuffs, sold one wagon load
cf lespedeza seed in Grenada for
s332. He also advertised corn, seed
ed ribbon cane syrup and seeded rib
bon cane seed for sale, and The Sen
tinel carrying the ad was scarcely
out before he had sold all he had
He sold the corn advertised in Stark
vile.
The Sentinel knows that the farm
trs of the county can not get ready
at once to raise stock; it knows thai
they must be sane and gradual il
turning their attention to othel
things than cotton, but it does hop'
that they will prepare for perma
nent boil weevil siege. The Dol
weevil is treacherous-he is from
Mexico.

W. F. Martins Experience Warrants
Him In Saying That 1t Is Better
Than Peas.-Others May Profit By
What He Has Done.

Editor Sentinel:-I know you are
interested in the farmers of the
county diversifying their crop. I
ask space in your valuable paper to
give my experience in 9O-day velvet
beans.
had one 8-acre piece of corn on
good land, planting velvet beans in
every fourth row when worked my
corn the first time. Made splendid
crop of corn and after gathering it
turned 1876 head of cattle on the
corn stalks and beans. This gave
the cattle good pasture for ten days,
il being before frost. Another piece
of corn, larger acreage, ! planted in
beans the same way. turned 1872
head of cattle and forty mule colts
on same January 81, and got as good
results as from the piece above re-
ferred to, after picking about 100
bushels of beans.
1t is my honest opinion that if ev-
cry acre of corn land in Grenada
county had been planted to velvet
beans, bean to every hill of corn,
lthe way am sure it should be
planted), it would have kept every
horse, mule, cow, hog, goat and sheep
fat through the winter without feed
ing them thing. Beans are much
cheaper than peas, and much safei
crop. They did well last season
while peas were almost complete
failure. If ! had peas as a gift,
would buy beans and plant in pref
erence. ] have no beans for sale
am buying my seed now. They car
be bought at $l.50 per bushel, ant
one bushel will plant four acres.
} In insist on every one who is in
terested in raising corn to see tina
) every stalk of corn has a bean plant
ed by it. You will raise as mucl
corn as you would have without tn
beans, and your bean crop will b.
more valuable than the corn crop
, and besides you can gather the bean
cheaper than 10 cents per bushel.

AN ECHO FROM
THE PAST.
Judge Works Out Own Destiny
Among Signing Pines and
Abandoned Well.

The Sentinel has had in its files the
following story for several years. and
has been baffied each time it intended
to confirm the story. Time has OBJ
l,terated the scenes. and the Death
Angel has carried off the witnesses.
50 it is passed on upon its own mer-
During the Reconstruction days in
the South, certain hitherto unob-
strusive negro was appointed Judge
in certain district. At once he be-
came quite conscious of the pompous-
ress of his position. and sought III
every way to impress upon the peo-
rle under his jurisdiction the weight
mess of his position. A certain
white man, Mr.. Jones. was brought
before him charged with some minor
infraction of the law. OF course he
vas found guilty. The Judge in i'm
POSING sentence said, "Fo' God; de
Bible say dat the nigger is de drawer
Of water and de newer of wood. /.
ewine er controvert de Bible" Anc
so the white man was sentenced to
cut wood and draw water in the
home of the august judge.
The leader of the ku-kluX klar
organization heard of this and deter
mined to punish the negro Judge ii
a way that the negro would not Soor
forget. Early on the morning fol
lowing the imposition of the sentence
the Judge was called to his front
door. There he beheld "A bunch OF
mounted men, all of whom were en-
shrouded in long white robes. He
was grabbed by two of the men
strapped onto a horse and carried un
ceremoniosuly away. The leader dl
rected his party to most isolated
part of the county, a place to whlcl
men seldom went. There in th
midst of forest of tall pine tree

case now goes to the Supreme Court.
The case, as the writer understands,
was argued on demurrer which was
r, epared and ably presented to the
court by Mr.. W. NJ. Mitchell, attor-
rey for the county. Mr.. Cowles
Horton represented the railroads and
it is needless to say that no feature
of the case was overlooked by him
and that their interests were in safe
ahnds. Both attorneys have been
highly complimented on the presenta-
ton of their sides of the cases. If
there was any doubt in the mind of
the court it was but natural that he
should resolve that doubt in favor Of
the county and against the railroads,
especially in view of the fact that
nearly every other taxpayer had come
up to the lick log and planked down
the coin for his tax receipt upon the
basis of the levy made by the board
But it is supposed to be the position
of the rail road, that although this
may have been willingly done by the
other taxpayers. yet this does not re-
peal the statute nor does it rob an:
ether taxpayer of his rights under the
law. 1t is the position, as the writer
understands, of the county that the
loan warrants, for which the excess
levy of mills was made, were pro-
vded for by order of the board be-
fore the specific law was signed and
that inasmuch as the supervisors were
proceeding under law which author
iaed the issuance Of loan warrants,
even TO an amount greater than was
issued, that they can not be estopped
from collecting taxes to pay that
which they were authorized to issue
however, it is alleged that the loan
warrants were not issued as matter
of fact until sometime after the
passage of the statute which limits
the tax levy, outside of some specific
purposes therein named, to Is mills
The law became operative April 3
, 1916, and on the same day the su-
pervisors passed an order for the is
suance of the loan warrants but it is
claimed that the warrants were not
, issued April 3, that they had to be
| prepared, printed and signed after
that day .and that the money for then
did not go into the county treasur!

Henry Baldwin, We'll
Known Railroad Man,
Ill, Kills Himself

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-Henry Bald
win, aged sixty-three, regarded as one of
the best known railroad men in The
south, shot and killed himself at his
home here late today. Relatives said
he had been in poor health for several
months and expressed the opinion he had
committed suicide. Mr.. Baldwin was
alone when the shooting occurred and
was dead when found by his sister a
few minutes later. A pistol, with one
cartridge discharged, was on the floor
by his side. .1..
Mr.. Baldwin for the last few years
was customs agent here for the Illinois
Central and YaZoo and Mississippi Val
ley railroads For nearly twenty years
he was general foreign agent, with head
quarters here for the Illinois Central
Previous to 1895 he was connected with
several smaller railroads operating in
Louisiana.
Mr.. Baldwin was prominent socially
and was a member of the exclusive Bos-
ton and Pickwick clubs here.
