WHY THE SENTINEL WAS LATE LAST WEEK.

On account of a series of accidents to the machinery, The
Sentinel was not printed last week until Saturday morning
A competent Linotype operator has been hard to secure and
two of the office force, with little experience, have been taking
turn about opel ating the machine. One of these embryo opera
tors, who was using bad pigs on account of a shortage of
metal, got a squirt" and had to let the wise" down when the
Elevator was in second transfer position" In endeavoring
was Immediately wired for and in the meantime, through the
courtesy of our good friend, Hon. Walker Wood, the balance
of the live copy was set on The Times Linotype in Winona
After getting to press" and getting about half the run
off, the intermediate gear on the vibrator rack" of the
press was stripped, putting the press out of commission. But
the papers were finally gotten out and mailed, much to the
jubilation of the force and to the satisfaction of anxious read
ers who had been calling around and telephoning all day
Friday to know what was the matter with 'the paper"
So, you see, all in all, we had one heluvatime.

TOM WATSON TRYING TO PLAY VESUVIUS.

We learn that Tom Watson of Georgia is raising funds
to test the Select Draft law in the United States courts. We
are advised that even a few misguided friends in one corner
of our neighbor county, Montgomery, have raised $125.00 and
sent it over to kicking, grouchy old Tom. Tom has run for
every office from vice president down and in nearly every case
has been licked, so it is a case of political indigestion and rot
of patriotism. The Select Draft is here to stay and it is the
only way to make the high and the low, the rich and the poor
alike do their part in army service. Why, some of Watson's
followers may not know it, but it is true nevertheless J. Pier
pont Morgan has a son shoveling coal in one of the battleships
of the country. The sons of two of the wealthiest men in
Grenada have enlisted and this is largely true all over the
and pull it in after you and the country will be better off if you
never come back. You have been "cussing" the Democrats
ever since you turned your mud batteries on Grover Cleveland,
one of the brainiest and most patriotic men the country ever
produced.

THE LAST ARGUMENT OF KINGS.

Germanys Crown Prince seems to realize that if the u
boat does not save Germany that the Kaiser's crown will go
and that kings generally will go tottering to the scrap heap.
He says the submarine is the "last argument of kings" Listen
to his pretended exultation:
Borne upon the nations confidence, with warmest wishes
for favoring gales, upon their bridges the nations best, served
by crews despizing death, hated and feared by our foe and
ready ever for deeds of daring, may our submarines ever float
the German flag VIGOROUSLY through the seven seas and teach
respect for them as the last argument of kings"
The Grenada Sentinel and the Ripley Sentinel are having
quite an editorial debate touching upon the war question and
its political significance in Mississippi. We watch and read
regularly the able Mississippi weeklies, especially those in
the class of the two Sentinels. From the tone of his paper here
of late we had about concluded that Bro. Anderson of the
Ripley Sentinel was getting himself right on the questions of
national policy, but, like Lots wife, we will look back upon old
affections, and when he looks back he heaves and tugs to pull
up his friend, Senator Jas. K. Vardaman, who is already a
hundred miles behind in statecraft. Last weeks Ripley Sem
tinel reached back a full arms length and pulled up as much
as a whole editorial page-The Dixie calhoun County,
Herald.

THE GRENADA SENTINEL


We have heard some echoes of a baseless statement going
the rounds that John Sharp Williams voted for $500 wheat
We have even seen this allegation made in newspapers that
ought to have known better. We can only attribute this state
ment about what Senator Williams is alleged to have done to
ignorance, a thing that always excuses a person except before
the courts. Mr.. Williams voted against the proposition: He
said substantially that the working people had asked for bread
and got a stone, and that a minimum price of two dollar wheat.
instead of lowering the cost of living, would make certain OF
flour at $3.50, which is what -four would be worth with wheat
at 50 per bushel. People of discerning minds try to know
what they are talking about before they talk. OF course, Mr..
Williams voted for the Food Control bill after the two dollar
wheat proposition was incorporated in it by some of those
opposed to the bill in the hope that it would kill the bill as a
whole, and in doing so, he acted the part of the statesman.

A SUGGESTION.

The period of transition from civil to military methods
of living is going to be hard on our boys. Anything that will
tend to tighten the monotony of camp life will made that
period less tedious. The Sentinel suggests that the people of
Granada County, thru some sort of organization collect all old
magazines at stated intervals and send them to our boys in
camp. This work might be done by the Civic League of
Gernada or by the Red Cross association of Grenada County
or by either of the numerous organizations now existing in
this community.

Proctor Knott, in his famous Duluth speech, said that the
great future of Duluth would require the seventeenth and
eighteenth amendments to the constitution, the sixteenth, he
said, would be for the danes and damsels who wanted to
exercise the right to vote. 1t appears now that he was not
far wrong about the sixteenth amendment, of which he face
tiously stated: THE sixteenth, it is of course understood, is
to be appropriated to those blushing damsels who are, day
after day, beseeching us to let them vote, hold office, drink
cocktails, ride astraddle, and do everything that men do"

1t may interest some of those who are holding back on
the war to know how much the German Kaiesr receives as an
annual salary from his government. Only So, $500 besides
this he gets the earnings from a vast amount of real estate.
The Emperor of Austria receives 81, 1000 0o. These figures
serve to show something of what we might expect should Ger
many and Austria defeat us in this war. Wake up. Talk for
your country if you can do nothing more.

the lower House of Congress will also pass favorably upon the
amendment. Booze is on the run.
