CHARITIES TO BENEFIT

The four undenominational charities already named by the committee. Chill dren's hospital, Mercy Home. Two Neighborhood Houses and Anti-Tuber- culosis association, will be the four institutions to share in the money raised over and above the $35.000 set as the quota for the Armenian and Syrian sufferers in the near east. No other charities have been added, nor will they be added, as 1t is considered that the above are the most urgent now. and that the remaining Birming ham charities can be taken care of in the coming drive later on in the year for all charities when the "Give-a- Day" plan is launched.
 At the luncheon today L. A. Cooper, field director of the southeastern de- partment of the American Committee for the Armenian and Syrian relief. will address the workers. MT. Cooper is a forceful speaker, has big voice and is well grounded in the work, as we'll as being thoroughly posted on the hardships of the people of Armenia and Syria

DR. EAvES' LETTER

Chairman Barnett yesterday re- ceived a letter from Dr. George Eaves, secretary of the Jefferson County Anti Tuberculosis association. which is self explanatory Dr. Eaves' letter fol- lows
 My dear Mir Barrett:
 This will express to you and to all helpers whom wou can enroll the high appreciation of this association for the self-sacrifice involved in making a suc- cessful drive" for aiding the children and homes of Bible lands along with the needy children at home. It will interest you to know that 1 have already been able to send to the Armenian and Sy- rian relief committee $540, being one-half the proceeds of tinfoil collected since June, last year, mostly by the children of this county, and that 1 am now forward
 ing an additional check for $18lS4 as pledged to the givers and to the above named New York committee. The sue cess of the present campaign will appar- ently make further division of tinfoil funds unnecessary. Its result was doubt
 less beneficial to all concerned, both givers and recipients. I also send you check for BIO handed me some weeks ago In anticipation of the campaign you are now waging. You see that the total amount passing through our hands for those unhappy victims of the dileberate anu ucNillSu COuSpiIdCy OI

 The building to be erected at the san atorium for care of suspicious and very early cases of tuberculosis among chill dren we want to make worth while, per manent and attractive.

 out of tinfoil. As fast as the money comes in from that source it will release whatever you can give us, and so your dollars will do double duty, first for building and then for maintenance.

During the past year no buildings eX. eept those actually needed for manufac- turing purposes or to house employees engaged in the production of materials and supplies essential to the successful prosecution of the war have been under taken, and work on a great many that were under construction a year ago was labor were needed by the government.
 Now conditions are changed. The gov ernment wants building operations re. sumed in order that the labor producing the materials and performing the con struction work may be given employment if for no other reason.
 Information secured from architects yesterday indicate that several hundred thousand dollars will be invested in new buildings in Birmingham during the pres ent summer, the buildings ranging all the way [rcIn small cottages to big apartment houses.

THE cOLORED CITIZENSHIP
OF THE COUNTY

The Sentinel feels sure that the
statement which appears elsewhere in
this paper W. the signature of a
number Of the representative color
ed citizenship of Grenada County
will be read with interest.
The Sentinel gladly gives space to
the communication for many reasons.
In the first place, the colored citizen
ship of Grenada County numbers ap-
proximately 60 per cent of the total
population, and furthermore, they
are important factors i'm the econom-
ic, agricultural and industrial life
of the County. The white citizenship
Of the County appreciates the color
ed man and would not have him go
elsewhere if he wanted to, and The
Sentinel also believes that the color
ed citizenship would not move away
if it could. These things being true,
it then behooves the best thought of
both races to strive for those things
that mean for better contentment
and for a more satisfied relationship
all round. When the negro prospers,
so does the white man; when the ne
gro suffers distresses or Universities,
the white man must help bear the
burden and likewise when the white
man prospers, he shares that with the
negro. And again, the best thought
of the white man wants to give the
negro youth that training that will
best serve him as a citizen and as a

white children and a school for col

Grenada also has a College-Gre-
NADIA College-an institution owned
and controlled by the Methodists of
North Mississippi where 175 young
ladies are receiving college training.
1t is an A. College and one of the
States best and most prosperous ed
ucational institutions and is also one
of Grenada's biggest assets.
Besides every neighborhood has a
school in the country districts, there
are two consolidated high schools in
the County, one at Holcomb, eleven
miles west of Grenada and on the
Y. & NJ. V. railroad and one at Gore

which manual training and home sci
ence departments are maintained.
There are as colored schools in the
county which are maintained and sup
ported by public funds. The last
census showed 1894 colored farmers
in the county and ats white farm
ers Many of these colored farmers
own not only their own homesteads
but a vast deal besides. For exam
pie, A. n. Henderson, who is now
farm demonstration agent for work
among the colored people, owns ap-
proximately 1000 acres of land and
his note is as good as gold at the
banks for ten thousand dollars or
more. Along with him might be NAM
ed substantial colored farmers sucn
as Reuben Donley, j. X. Ask, Payne
Reid, Joe Patterson, Albert Harde-
man and scores of others. In this
connection, it might be proper TO
state that A. H. Henderson was prin-
cipal of the colored school in Gre
NADIA for 25 years and that when. he
voluntarily retired two years ago to
take up farm demonstration work, he
practically named his successor, Rev.
H. H. Buckingham, who is doing fine
work in the school.
If space allowed, several hundred
names of dependable and trustworthy
colored men could be named who
think along lines that the best and
most fa~r-seeing white citizenship of
the county would have them think.
In short, the two races are travelling
most tremendously and most salts
factorily together in Grenada County
and what is true of this County is
largely true of the whole state.

There is a great deal of virgin for

one tract were sold about two years
ago at $32 and during the past few
months, other large timber tracts
have changed hands at greatly in
creased prices.
Land values range from $40 to
500 per acre. A few country resi-
dences are shown in this issue. Some
of the best homes in the County are
on the farms. Good barns, good
fences and silos and other farm ne
cessities are the order Of the day.
The County has invested thousands
and thousands of dollars during the
past five years in roads. It has had
the road spirit which has seized the
balance of the country. New roads
have been laid out-the shortest line
between given points-and much
grading has been done. The roads
in the Country are 200 per cent
better than they were ten years ago.

Tanks Like a Deck Of Cards.

In the open stretch, beyond the last
fringe of wood, we struck the field
where the American tanks attacked
the Huns on flank and rear and fin
ished the battle of ArgOnne wood,
Elizabeth Frazer writes in the Satur'
day Evening Post. Later we saw
complete outfit of these grOtesque
monsters go wallOping across a she'll
torn field. Their insignia were the
characters on a deck of cards, and
they always followed suit. Thus an
ace of spades was always followed by
the king of spades, the king by his
spouse; and so on down to the tray.
AS we passed, the knave of hearts
thrust forth a grinning face from his
round armOred little turret and waved
a grimy paw. Close on his tail wag-
gishly tangOed the ten spot. 1t was
like some mad scene in "Alice in Won
derland."

is dated 1913, and was used at funer-
ais in the parish, a small fee being
charged by the kirk session for its.
use. The beadle rang the bell
through the town when he proclaimed
a death, again when the arrangements
for the funeral were to be made
known, and again when he walked at
the head of the funeral procession.
The sand-glass dates from 1902, runs
for about 20 minutes and it was no un-
usual thing for it to be turned two or
three times during a sermon. The
gifts are being exhibited in specially
constructed case in the cathedral.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS DUCK
Peggy of Rouen, N. j., Laid 325 Eggs
in. Single Year, and Was Easily
Worlds Champion.

The death of Peggy, the famous
duck of Rouen, New Jersey, comes as
a reminder to US that we would do
well to follow the principles which
guided the life of this excellent bird.
Peggy was celebrated in two hemis-
pheres as the champion egglayer Of the
world, the New York Evening Post
states. Peggy, in one year laid as
many as 325 eggs. Yet, celebrated as
she was, noted wherever eggs were laid
or scrambled, head of her glorious pro-
fession, what was her attitude after
we entered the war? Did she rush into
print, airing her opinion as to what
the president ought to do? Not at all.
Despite numerous tempting offers from
fowl fashions and other magazines,
she refrained from utterance and con-
tinued contributing her daily drop to
national victory. Even when the Ger
mans opened their recent peace drive
Peggy did not turn hysterical and de-
mand that they at once surrender all
the Strassburg geese. She, still in 81
lence, went on with her lay. 1t is re-
lated of her that on the morning of her
demise she quietly produced an egg,
and, indicating her satisfaction with
a feeble quack, keeled over and ex-
pired.

O'MEARA DEFENDS
 ARBITRATION BOARD
Says Attacks Were Made for a Purpose-Will Make Strong
 Effort to Change Law.

Relative to the statements printed ln the New Haven afternoon papers charging the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration with neglect of duty, Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the Connecticut Federation. of Labor, and a member of the state board, said to the Connecticut Labor Press:
 "The charge that has been made that the board has been neglectful is abso- 1utely without foundation and the idea of sending out such news IS intended for a purpose, and I, for one member of the board, will not stand by and see the board unjustly accused.
 Tn my office 1 have letters from employers of this state that have re- gently refused the services of the board.
 T have also in my office copies of letters that 1 sent to employers that had disputes with their employees offering the services of the state board, and these letters have remained unanswered, and one part of the charges that we did not offer our services in the Nau gatuck situation is one instance where the employer was offered the services Of the board and has not seen fit to even be courteous enough to reply to tine letter.
 Regarding the Naugatuck Valley situation 1 have letters to show that we offered the services of the board and our services were refused.
 Our services have been offered to the Shore Line Trolley situation, and it has not been accepted"
 Regarding the state law in Connecti- cut, Mir. O'Meara said that the law has no teeth in it. The law does not pro- vide any penalty for refusal to testify before the board and also there is norh- ing in the law that gives the board the powers that are necessary to have wit nesses come before the board. In con clusion MT. O'Meara said that he had his resignation ready last month to send to the governor of the state, but that he had been persuaded to remain, and that many influential employers have promised MT. O'Meara that they will back any change necessary i'll the law to make it as strong as the Massachu- setts law, and that will be sought for at the coming session of the legislature.
