TRYING TO THROW OFF ON BILBO AND DISCREDII
HARRISON.

1t is just a wee bit funny to see some of the friends of our
Junior Senator, wherever they think it will count, trying to
throw off on Gov. Bilbo and discredit Pat Harrison by seeking
to create the impression that there is a deal on between Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Bilbo. When our Junior Senator could profit
by Gov. Bilbos support, it was all we'll and good. Gov. Bilbo is

If the soldiers can afford to lay down their lives and their
future on the countrys altar, it does look like the balance of us
should not bubble about the amount of money the government
should spend to equip the boys for the best and easiest fighting,
thereby shortening the time the war can last.

The ladies of Grenada are doing their bit towards help
ing the government win the war. That noble young woman and
lovely character, Miss Bessie Young, is giving absolutely all of
her time to the work of theRed Cross. She is fortunately
situated where she can do this and The Sentinel is glad to note

The editor Of the Summit Sentinel, one of the oldest news
papers III the State, has announced that unless his patronage
greatly increases within the next few weeks he will be COM
PEELED to suspend publication of his excellent paper. His pa

Let Us not overlook our labor for another year. Our lands
will be valueless without we can use them and we can not use
much Of them without the labor. 1t would therefore seem to be
wise to give the colored farmer of the county some special at
tention. The war is intensifying labor problems as well as all
other problems.

The son who feels called upon to proclaim his allegiance to
his father has undoubtedly led a chequered career. So also
must the public acts of the public man have been questionable
indeed who feels the necessity of saying when his country is at
war with another nation, "Yes, l want the United States to win"
Can the readers of The Sentinel call to mind at this moments
public man who is now proclaiming that he is not against his
government?

The next movement that is to be pushed throughout the
country is raising $50, 900, 900 for the work of the Young Mems
Christian Association in the army. MissSsippis pro rata of this
allotment is 100000. Should we not be proud of the fact that
so much thought is given to the care and comfort of our boys
who have donned the uniform? The government is determined
to throw the very best influences around them and, if possible,
send them back home better morally and spiritually than when
they went away. The Y. NJ. c. A. is regarded as one of the
greatest forces for good in the army.

Pirate John Allen died at his home in Tupelo on Tuesday

South a distinct service. His fame as a humorist eclipsed any
other feature of his character. and while he was an anecdote
teller, he always used his stories to enforce an illustration or to

Just for the sake of telling them. Peace to his ashes.

EARL GREY PASSES
To GREAT BEYOND

LONDON, August 29.-Earl Grey,
former governor general of Canada
died today after a long illness. He
was born Nov 28th, 1851.
Lord Strathcoma described Earl
Grey as "a statesman and philan-
thropist in the best sense" His &C
tive career comprised not only the
administration of the government of
, Rhodesia and representation of the
British government as goyernor-gen-
eral of Canada, but industrial and fl
nancial operations in the development
of South Africa. One of the most
noted movements to which he gave
his support, and in which he was
leading spirit was the Public House
Trust Company of England, an enter
prise DESIGNED to supplant the ordi
nary saloons for the sale of intoXicat-
ing liquor by the establishment of well
conducted public houses and to dis
courage the use of intoxicants by sub
stitution of tea and coffee.
Earl Grey was an intimate friend OF
the late Joseph H. Choate, American
ambassador to Great Britain, often
visited the United States, called upon
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at
Washington, and declared that he was
a lover of America This sentiment he
gave as his reason for restoring to the
United States picture of Benjamin
Franklin which had been in possession
of the family since Earl Grey's great
grandfather, Major-General Charles
Grey, was quartered in Franklin's
house in Philadelphia as an officer of
General Howes staff during the Reyo
lutionary War. The restoration of the
picture was announced by Earl Grey
a a banquet rendered to him in New
York, while he was governor general
of Canada. In making the announce
ment he said he believed there were
higher laws than the laws of posses

Although born an aristocrat, Earl
Grey was very democratic in his SYM

pathies. This found chief expression
in his almost lifelong activity as a So
cial reformer, in his efforts to reform
the saloons of England and in the es-
adjustment of cooperative partner
ship system on his estates in North
cumberland. He was not an idle bearer
OF great name, but was imbued with
restless energy and spirit of en-
thusiasm in all his enterprises, consti-
tuting a multitude of interests. Cecil
Rhodes found him full of passionate
for the growth Of the Brit
ish empire and that he was willing to
bend every energy to the achievement
o. that object One of his most pro-
found convictions was that union of
TIE English-speakings people would be

JULY

Sweet June has gone with all her
flowery train;
Her roses in the gardens droop
and die,
And faint an echo comes-a parting
strain
Of music sweet that tells where
she passed by.
And 10! across the fields of ripening
wheat,
And Ger the hills with fragrant
clover red,
Where hum of bees comes drowsily
and sweet,
Sun-crowned July comes slow with
silent tread!
The sovereign sun in splendor now
looks down,
Upon the ripening fullness of the
year,
With glowinx beams of light and
heat that crown
The earth's fruition with theiy
plenteous cheer.
The city swelters; on its pavements
hot
CLOVIS down the sun with fierce,
IMPLYING rays;
In vain its many millions, polygot,
j Sigh for the GOODNESS of dim, leafy
ways!
On mountain. or on shore of sandy
beach,
Or on the sea, with sails of winged
yacht,
The pleasure-seekers throng and seek
to reach
Surcease from heat and care by
Summer brought.
But far in depths of inland country
green,
The wild rose mods upon its droop-
ing stem;
The heavy boughs of fruited orchards
lean
And cooling down at morn the
meadows gem.
Forth to his labors goes the farmer
blithe,
For ripened harvests wait the
reaper's whirr,
And slow before the mowers whetted
scythe
The long grass fails to swaths with
soothing sklrr.
At noon beneath the shade Of Ieafy
elm
The farmer rests in grateful, we'll
earned ease;
For king is he of all the fruitful
realm
Which far and wide in ripened
wealth he sees.
For July's sun, which to the city
brings
Discomfort on the busy, shadeless
street
Der the green country it's effulgence
filings
And turns to gold the rirening
fields of wheat.
And so, o Royal Month, from Julius
named,
A sovereign largest to the earth
you bring
AS when of old on Ceres altar famed
Thy richest gifts to the All-Nour,
ishing!
H. T, Sudduth.
