TILT IN HALL
over PLACING
OF ONE JOINT
Mayor Settles Dispute Between City
Building Inspector and Me-
GiEfnis Brothers.

A dispute over the placing of a
joist resulted in a tilt in the city
hall this morning in which words
were exchanged by Building In
spector John Lindros and the Nc
GinniS brothers, contractors.
The dispute was brought up aft
er Inspector Lindros had warned
the contractors that a joist in a
building under construction be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, on Twenty-fourth-and-a-
half street, would have to be "dou-
bled." The inspector claimed that
the support furnished by the piece
was not sufficient and in compli-
ance with city building regulations.
A. z. McGinnis claimed that the
construction was entirely sufficient
and that it was a mere technicality
by which the city appointee was
making complaint.
Sharp words were used during
the discussion; McGinnis charging
that the city made a mistake in ap-
pointing a journeyman to the office
of city inspector.
Mayor InterVeneS.
After the argument had reached
considerable heat, Mayor H. Nj.
Schriver appeared on the scene and
Quoted the matter
The mayor told Archie McGinnis
that the ordinances laid down by
the city commission are for only
one purpose, compliance. That the
construction in question was suf-
ficient for purposes was not doubt
ed by the mayor.
AS to the controversy raised by
the contractors, Mayor Schriver
said that he would not stand for
any disrespect toward city ap-
pointees, and that whether or not
the residence is being put up prop
erly is not charged in the inspec-
tors complaint.
The mayor also awaited himself
of the opportunity to speak of con-
struction ordinances now in force
in Rock Island. He said that many
regulations outlined in the oTdi-
nances could not be specifically ap-
piled to all cases, but that whenever
a point of issue is brought up the
matter should be settled by arbi-
trary consultation instead of by
open dispute in the city hall.
The case of Sol Langman, con-
tractor, who was charged by the in
spector with having constructed a
defective foundation in the city,
was also brought up. Langman's
case was continued until a later
date, giving the contractor a
chance to repair conditions before
a dismissal.

Mercer county's most prominent
business men and bankers, has an
nounced his candidacy as a dele
gate from this senatorial district
to the constitutional convention
which convenes in Springfield on
Jan. 6, 1920. The primaries will be
held Wednesday, Sept. 10.
Mr.. Beers did not foresee a cam

voters as a possible delegate.
He possesses qualifications
which render him a fit choice for
the honor for which he is pre-
scented. He has been a lifelong
resident of Mercer county, and for
the last 10 years has been asso-
ciated with one of Aledo's leading
banks. In his banker capacity he
has come in contact with the needs
and requirements Of all businesses.

who can fairly represent the agri-

The law provides that delegates

Mr.. Beers. This is most unfortu-

Thin, Nervous People ,
Need BitrO-PhOSphate

Weak. thin people-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks;
thus conclusively proving that thin
ness, weakness, debility and neurasthe-
mia are ALMOST invariably due to nerve
starvation. Feed your nerves and all
these symptoms due to nerve starva-
tion will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one of
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro-P Phosphate. a five-grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal. Being genuine nerve
builder and not stimulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer and the results fol-
lowing its use are often simply aston
ishing.
BY strength ening the nerves, weak
tired people regain energy and vigor;
thinness and angu1arity give way to
plumpness and curves; sleep returns to
the sIeepless; confidence and cheerful,
ness replace debility and gloom; dull
eyes become bright, and pale, sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow of health.
CAUTION-Bitro-Ph Phosphate, the use
of which is inexpensive, also wonder
fully promotes the assimilation of food,
so much so, that many people report
marked gains of weight in a few
weeks Those taking it who do not de-
sire to put on flesh, should use extra
care in avoiding fat-producing foods.

COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE
Grenada Feed Milling Company
Growing Enterrise

The Sentinel is always pleased to
note anybody's success and especially
is it pleased to note the success of a
Grenada business enterprise. In this
connection it is glad to observe the
successful development and growth
of the Grenada Feed Milling Co. un-
der the wise. capable, discerning and
farseeing management Of Mr.. Joe NJ.
Brown. This company began business
a little less than year ago and did
so well last year that it is enlarging
this year and reaching out for a wild
er circle of customers. 1t does not
confine it's activities to this imme
territory but happily reaches out to
a radius of IS miles or more from
Grenada. The Grenada Feed Milling
Co. deserves the patronage and tbe
encouragement of Grenada people
because it is home industry. But
the. main reason is because it is an
enterprise that is worthy and gives
value received for the money. Again,
it fills place in the business life
of the community that has long been
very much needed.

Capt. Walter T. Pate reached Gre

Calf, where he had been ordered
to report under Col. Dulin. Capt
Pate entered the service as a private
at Newport News in July last and in
short while was promoted to a
captaincy. He is in love with the
military and looks to be in the very
pink of health and vigor. Like most
Mississippians who started out after
the Kaiser's scalp, he was sorry that
he did not get to go across and get a
taste of service in France.
The writer was honOred' with a
call from Captain Pate and found
him the same unostentious, genial
and likable character that he was as
civilian.

CLEVELAND CLANTON
DIED IN FRANCE

Press dispatches as We" &c Tho '7@'"s

Department several dt
vey the intelligence of
Cleveland Clanton in an arn-y
pital in France. If the Sentinel IS
not in error, It believes that this IS
the first soldier who went out from
Grenada county to die. Cleveland
Clanton was son OF Mr. and Mrs.
T. r. Clanton of the Redding neigh
borhood. They were violently op-
posed to. the war and were greatly
wrought up when this son was taken
in the draft. These are good people
and had always taken high ground
upon all matters and had never failed
to iditenify themselves with the best
element of the citizenship of the
state. Lack of information and 4
failure to comprehend fully the duty
that every citizen owes his govern
ment were responsible for their at
titude. Mr.. and Mrs. Clanton could
not understand that an assault by
Germany upon the flag of their coun
try was stroke at their liberty and
the very fundamentals upon which
they enjoy the rights of their own
fireside and the pursuit of their daily
labor. Their almost violent Oppo
sition to the sons going to the army
makes his death all the more patEet-
ic, indeed tragic wher considered
from their view point. They should
take consolation in the fact that he
was at his post of duty when he re-
ceived the wound that caused his
death. He made good soldier. He
met the death of Il patriot. The
family should take consolation in the
fact that they do not weep alone,
that there are thousands Of other
mothers and fathers throughout the
land who, too, have. given up their
sons, and in many instances there
was more than one son killed. This
family should remember that while
their boy made the supreme sacri-
fee, so did the sons of the rich, so
did the sons of men of renown among
whom was Quentin Roosevelt, the
baby boy of Ex-President Roosevelt.
The Sentinel extends sympathy to
the bereft parents and expresses but
the hope of thier friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the county
that they may in due time have q
new vision about the war and in
a measure may be more reconcilcd 20
the sacrifice made by their son.
The Government will, in due time
bring his remains to the United States
and turn them over 10 the family foI
final interment.
