Wheat savings-They must have wheat. It is W 1ne

and willingness shown to do all that
was necessary to satisfy any body
particular matter. Mr.. Thompson had
a just cause of complaint because of
the error in his name. Mr.. Heath,
too, is to be congratulated on his
ready acquiesence in the actions of
the Executive Committee. He, too,
received NOR than half of the vote
cast for aldermen in that ward. It
should also be stated in behalf of Mr..
T. E. Moody whose name was on the
ticket for alderman in the west ward
,that he took no interest in the race at
all and was absolutely indifferent as
to The result.
Tomorrow for the run-otf. Besides
the names of the mayor and other city
officers, there will be five names to
be voted for for membership of the
Executive Committee. There will be
seven names on the ticket while only
five are to be selected.

reason he did not change his name.
He was in and out from Wilson. A
watch had been instituted there for
him and the day before his capture,
he had just returned from rather
extended absence in Memphis. A
negro man came back on the train
with him from Memphis and put the
officers in Wilson wise.
A gallows has been ordered erect
ed in the Jail yard but the law very
properly requires that the execution
shall not be open to the public.
If Brooks story is correct about
the course he pursued after striking
deputy Gilbert, and circumstances
seem to corroborate him, this is only
another of indictment of bloodhounds.
The dogs made Brock cross the river
not far east Of the Grenada Oil Mill
and pursue route through the
woods and briars like q wild animal.
Even the next day the dogs were
thought to be trailing him something
like ten miles west while the negro,
according to his story, was on this
side of the river headed towards
Greenwood.

SEN1lNEl'S CONTEST
GAMERS MOMENTUM,
Mise Mary Horizons Vote Makes the
Biggest Jump.

The Sentinels Big. $3.50 subscrip-
tion Contest wherein it planned to
give away to Sentinel subscribers and

affected by the bad weather and bad
roads just like everything else but
now that the weather is milder and
people can begin to get around busi-
ness is going to gain momentum.
The biggest recent gain is in the vote
of Miss Mary Horton of Torrance.
Mrs. H. G. Talbert's vote slightly
exceeds Miss Horizons but Mrs.
Talbert's vote has increased
slightly during the last two weeks.

FIRST CITY PRIMARY
HELD FEBRUARY 2.
Brown and Taum in RunOf for Mayor Mcleod
in Run-Of for Marshal Aldermen Nominated City at
Large and in Both Wards Initials Causes
Another Aldermanic Race in East Ward Lamb and Long
for Treasurer

The first city primary for the NOM
ination of officers to serve from the
first of May for the next two years
was held last Saturday. There was
remarkable absence of the usual
election enthusiasm. Everything was
good humored and the best Of spirit
was displayed throughout.
The vote for Mayor was as fol-
lows:
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-02-08

From the above it viii be seen VAt-
the second primary to be held to-
morrow (Saturday) will decide the
run-off for mayor between J. II.
Brown and s. T. Tatum, and for
marshal between w. A. Mcleod and
A. Gerard. H. G. Talbert was re-
nominated without opposition for re-
corder and r. Pressgrove was again
nominated for alderman city at large,
place he has filled for the past six
or eight years, and so :lso the run
off for treasurer will be between
Lamb and Long. In this connection
The Sentinel will state that while the
name of Mr.. w. E. Smith appeared
on the ticket for treasurer, he was
| in no sense candidate nor did he
authorize his name placed on the bal
lot. He did not know his name was
on the ticket until he came down that
morning to vote; with this attitude
by Mr.. Smith, and with two of the
other candidates who are cripples
and actively at work, it will be seen
at once that he got most compli-
mentary vote, To the credit of Mr..
H. B. Peacock, it should be said. that
had he known the contest for treas
urer was going to. assume the shape
it did, he would not have submitted
his name.
From the above figures it will be
observed that Mr.. j. w. Vance con-
siderably exceeded half of the total
vote polled in the west ward and that
it was seen at once that he had been
nominated in the first primary. 1t
was at first thought that Mr.. Horton
and Mr. Mcdaniel would have to GO
into the run-off for the other alder
man from the west ward but subse-
uent investigation by the City EXecu-
tive Committee convinced that body
that Mr.. Horton had polled more thar
half of the vote cast for alderman ir
that ward. hence he was declared the
nominee. This was situation thai
grew out of the failure of the sol
diers to vote on the aldermen. A
similar situation confronted the Com
mittee as regards the aldermanic race
in the East Ward because of the fail
ure Of the soldiers to express pre-
ference for aldermen. DR.. Ferguson
got S5 votes and was nominated will
votes to spare, even had all the sol
diers voted, but in view of the con
fusion about the soldier vote an'
the fact that there was an error II
printing the name of Mr.. W. A
Thompson on the ballot-the nam
} on the ballot was H. A. Thosmpson-
all agreed to go into the second pri
mary and allow the two receiving
the highest vote to be the nominees
} Dr. Ferguson is always chivalrou
and magnanimous and is especially

CONVICTED FOR USING
DRAFT GIVEN HIM,
Overdraft Merchant Held for His
Dealings with Defunct Bank at
Sails. Cashier not Tried but Ad-
mi.s his Wrong. Lambs Case Ap-
pealed.

The case Of Oscar Lamb referred
to in these columns last week as hay-
ing been transferred 10 this county
from Attala on the charge Of eni-
bezzlement in connection with the de-
funct Bank at Sails. resulted in
victory for the state Wheroupon the
court sentenced Lamb to term Of
ten years in the State penitentiary.
Lamb was a former resident Of Sails
and had been doing business with the
defunct Bank for seven or eight
wears. or even before he left Salli,
and enlarged his business in Jackson.
Miss Before leaving Stills. the cash
ier had allowed him to overdraw his
account, and 50 when he moved 70
Jackson and went into larger bust
ness. the boil Weevil came along and
Fate dealt no more kindly with him
He continued to get his money from
the Sails Bank and the cashier con
;inued according to his own state
ments. to falsfy his reports to the
banking department and to hide away
the exact standing Of the account
from bank officials. The matter
rocked on going from bad to worse
and finally the crash came. Il
was realized by both Lamb and the
cashier of the Sails Bank that if eth
Ell failed that that meant that the
other would fail too. Thus they both
continued to fight against the fate
full day. in the hope, evidently. that
something would turn up to save
them. Lamb continued to put every
dollar he got into his business to keep
il going and when he failed his as
sets exceeded his liabilities. The
Bank cashier enjoyed the confidence
Of his community and was man
known for his religious zeal and al
hgnment with every good work.
There was no collusion shown upon
the part of either one 9f them to loot
the Bank for joint results or any
thing of that sort. Undoubtedly they
lboth erred. and that gravely. and the
outcome of the affair shows the dan
ger of once doing L wrong act. Had
the Bank cashier never made one
false report. there would have only
been the failure of a little bank and
the busting" of 4 little merchant,
certainly no prison sentence would
have menaced either OF them. The
case of the Bank cashier was ordered
brought to this county az the same
time Lamb was given n change OF
venue. but somehow the papers were
not sent over here by the court Off
cials. He was the principal witness
against Lamb. but he told a straight
forward story and impressed the pub
lie more as q sincere. plgin. good sort
of fellow than business man. The
verdict against Lamb was quite "A sur
prise to many who had listened to .
greater part Of the trial. Lamb
attorneys appealed his case at once
and he gave $4,000 bond and re
turned to his wife and children Al
