GRENADA COUNTY SELLS
FIRST CAR OF SORGHUM
X. F. Carpenter Sets the Pace on
Sorghum Shipments.

The people of Grenada county have
been raising sorghum for many years
but is has been in haphazard sort of
way. Its value has been appreciated,
but there seemed to be no definite
aim, or purpose, to realize the f.
nancial end of the proposition. This
year there has been 4 business appre-
citation shown of many things-which
heretofore the farmer passed up. The
boil weevil has done his part in bring
ing this happy result, and, too, there
has been progress among the farmers
just as among any and all other
classes. The work of the colleges
and universities of the country are
sitting out to all callings and classes.
The agricultural work of the A. & M.
College in this state within the last
half dozen years has been carried to
the farmer and he has been alive to
what has been shown him. OF course
there is muc htheory about the So
called college experts" but there is
theory in everything. There is bound
to be theory before there can be prac-
tice. The man who does not theorize,
speculate or plan, is Ike the blind OK,
he may stumble up on something, but
he will stumble away from more
things than he stumble up on.
Mr.. R. F. Carpenter, one of the
leading citizens of the Misterton COM
munity, shipped few days ago to
Dunbar & Co., of New Orleans, a
whole carload of sorghum. The car
load brought somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $500. Mr.. Carpenter is
to be congratulated. What he can do
so can Others. Now that the pace has
been set let others follow Mr.. Car
penter's example.
| 1t is not supposed that Mr.. Car
penter raised all this sorghum on his
own farm, but the fact that he was
able to gather that much together in
one community speaks well for what
the farmers are doing in the Mister
ton neighborhood.

PAT HARRISON PART OF
A DAY IN GRENADA.
Is Frank and Candid Character.-In
Two Contests Heretofore Made for
Office, All Former Opponents Now
Supporting Him.-Says He is Go.
ing to Preach Loyalty; to Country,
State and Party to the People.

Hon. Pat Harrison spent the great
er part of Sunday in Grenada, where
he was called upon at his hotel by
many of the local citizens. who ex-
tended him the glad hand and ex-
perssed great interest in his sena.
torial aspirations. He was in a cheer
full frame of mind and seemed to
look forward with the keenest relish
to the days that are just ahead, when
he shall have an opportunity to go
up and down the state and preach
pure Americanism, loyalty to the
state, to the nation and to the DEM
ocratic party, which has shielded the
South in its darkest hour and been a
bulwark to the government in every
time of trouble.
Mr.. Harrison was indeed optimistic
about the result of the issue which
is to be submitted to the voters of
Mississippi in August, 1918, and his
experience as successful aspirant
for Noffice in south Mississippi would
seem to warrant the statement that
he knows "the folks" 1t is no small
compliment to him that all Of his
former opponents, both those who
ran against him for district attorney
and those who ran against him for
congress, are now his friends and
supporters. One is in his presence
but a little while until he begins to
understand his success and his pow
er for leadership. He is man of
pleasing address and there is frank
ness and candor as well as an old
time simplicity about him that at
once gives him access to the conf
dence of the stranger.
Mr.. Harrison states that he ex-
poets to visit every town and every
community in the state and talk face
to face with the people about their
business at Washington City.
He went from here to Coffeeville
and from there to Pittsboro, Calhoun
county, where there was a crowd to
hear him Monday morning that could
| not be accommodated in the cour,
house, hence Mr.. Harrison spoke
| from a wagon in the court square.

LOCKETT LUMBER CO.
TO ERECT A SIS, 100000
RESIDENCE IN GRENADA

The Sentinel feels sure that the
community in general will be inter-
ested to know that Mr.. and Mrs. S.
M. Cain have let the contract to build
for themselves a $15,0OO.O0 residence
on their lot on Margin Street, the C.
E. Lockett Lumber Co., of this City
were the successful bidders on this
important job. The competition was
keen, and when it is considered that
Mrs. Cain has her own special ideas
as to how this house should be built
and what should go into it, it is in
deed no small compliment to the c..
E. Lockett Lumber Company to have
been awarded the contract under
these circumstances. Mrs. Cain evil
IDENTIFY thought that she end Mr.. Cain
were not only awarding the contract
to the bidder who would do this i'm
portant for the least money, but
they thought the Lockett Lumber Co.
would meet their wishes perhaps
about the details of construction eq-
ually as well, if not better than any
other bidder. The contract price
above named, as The Sentinel under
stands, means plumbing and heating
included. Grenada is very glad in
deed that this handsome structure is
so soon to adorn the other many
handsome homes on Margin street and
that it looked forward to as one of
the prettiest, cosiest and loveliest res
licences in the town. The Sentinel
cOngratulates Mr.. and Mrs. Cain and
the Lockett Lumber Co., too. May
there soon be others to emulate the
example in building of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cain.

The following from the Headquart-
ers Field Artillery Company came
home last Saturday afternoon on fur
loughs to spend Sunday: Zack
Semmes, Earl Thomas, Paul Gerard,
G. B. (Boots) Jones and Sam Polk
from Charleston. Of course, every
body was glad to see the boys and
there wac none who did not say to
them encouraging words and assure
them Of an abiding interest il their
welfare. They were looking well and
naturally were much pleased to be
at home. But for the fact that only
five per cent can get of or. furloughs
at one time, more would have come.
The limitation on furloughs necessi-
tates their coming in installments.

GRENADA YOUTH
HEAD OF SCHOOL
Malcolm Lawrence Principal at Oak
Grove, Louisiana.

The Oak Grove High School opened
on MonSay morning in the new school
building. and never have we. seen
more 'demonstrative opening in the
history Of the school. We know that
it made the hearts of the new prin-

faculty glad as they glanced over the
smiling faces of the two hundred and
thirteen students in attendance, to
say nothing of the crowd Of patrons
and friends of the school whose
beaming countenances and express
sions of approval evidenced their
hearty cooperation. We have a school
building of which we may feel justly
proud, a faculty, if equaled, cannot
be surpassed, an attendance that
measures up to the standard and a
cooperative school that surpasses the
fondest hopes of an educated patron
age.
Supt. Dollerhide was present at
the opening and made short address
urging the patrons to stand by their
! principal and his faculty and every
thing would run along smoothly and
nicely. He also stated Prof Lawrence
was a graduate of the Mississippi
State University and came highly
recommended as teacher. Attorney
w. l.. Bagwell conducted the devo-
tional exercises. Mrs. A. C. Monroe
presided at the piano while the large
assemblage sang America. Prof.
Lawrence made few remarks after
which the pupils were given their as
signments.

Below is SUNNI cSseotton crop
conditions as ps .sSsed by the Com

The condh.on of the growing cot

according to reports from correspon-
dents of the Commercial Appeal form
over the belt.
ms hgure compares with a gov
ernment condition on Aug. 25 of 67.S

last year, and a ten-year average of
6o.7. The loss in condition for Sep
tenber is points. which compares
with 4.9 last year, and a ten-year av-
erage of So points. The excessive
loss may be explained. however from
the fact that this years crop lost only
20 points in August, due to the late
ness of the plant
Based upon the aboce condition

together with heavy insect damage.
especially from boil weevil in infested
i.~eas, may be held responsible for the
big loss in condition sustained by the
crop during the month. Tempera-
lures have been too low a great part
OF the time, while sudden changes
from hot to cold have caused shedding
OF fruit from plant never too well
fruited. Too much rain in localities
has also caused some damage.
Boil weevil have about DESTROYED
the top crop and have damaged the
middle crop in infested areas of Ark
ansas, Mississippi. Alabama and
Georgia, and have done considerable
damage in localities in Texas. Over
practically all this area no top crop
is looked for. Owing to the extreme
lateness of the crop the late fruitage
!, when unmolested by insects, is in SER
ious damage by frost of average date.
The lateness Of the crop is being
emphasized by the slowness of pick

many local reports of premature op-

crop. There are many growers dis
posed to hold for very high prices
but as rule correspondents report

below that figure.
This is the last report this paper will

GRENADA BOYS BROKE BUT
FALL INTO KINDLY HANDS
Three Grenada Boys Brave the Road
to Try Their Luck. Get Strand
ed at Selma, Ala, But Land
Jobs at Montgomery.

- The following from a recent issue
of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
friends of these boys who braved the
road to "try their luck"
Three lucky boys came to Mont
gomery yesterday, and every one of
them was dead broke when he hit
town, which was by no means good
luck, but by night each boy had a
job, and there's where they We're
lucky.
The names of the boys are Bryan
Baker, Conan Quiggins and Novel
Estes. None is over seventeen years
old, but they are bright boys and
seem to have clever knack of taking
care of themselves.
Stranded at Selma.
Down in Grenada they happened
to hear much of the golries of Camp
Sheridan and the attractions of Mont
gomery, so they concluded to leave
their homes and come to this city to
look for jobs. which they believed
were as plentiful as flowers in spring
time. But when they reached Selma
their money gave out and it was a
long way to their destination. Not
to be daunted. they persuaded the
driver of a motor bus to bring them
from Selma to Montgomery on a
chance, and the generous driver
landed the boys in this city Thursday
morning.
Hebberd Gets Jobs.
When they arrived here they were
still broke and their stomachs were
as empty as their pockets. What to
do for breakfast Chew" they didn't
know, but they took a chance on the
Chamber of Commerce. There they
met j. B. Hebberd, war secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce. who not
only filled the vacuum in their stom-
achs, but gave them little pocket
change. and then went the linnfr~ by
getting each boy job.
One of the boys went to work al
the Gay-Teague Hotel, another at q
soda fountain in the city, and the
third got place in the quartermast-
er's department at Camp Sehridan
much to the envy of the other two
although they were mighty glad tC
have landed as well as they did.
