The flyer. who Thursday sent the
nerves of downtown Topekans jump
ing with his dipping and swooping ir
and about the Kansas avenue build
ings, max have had lots Of fun out
of it and he may have achieved for
himself the distinction he craved as
being a real daredevil, but it must be
mentioned that had one of his dips
failed to end as he planned it, others
besides himself would have suffered.
Had his plane crashed, it is almost
certain that some of the monday
luncheon goers, would have been in
jured II not killed and that a certain
amount of property would have been
destroyed. What has become of that
city ordinance which was so grandi-
loquently announced some months
ago? It was designed to prevent avia-
tors flying over Topeka at low alti-
tudes. The proposed ordinance was
proposed Immediately after a particu-
larly disastrous accident to an air
ship in Chicago caused by low flying.
Possibly when another such accident
occurs it will be revived for a time.
Possibly after a third accident of like
nature the ordinance carrying the
dust of years will become a city law.

The recent baseball gambling
revelations clinches the argument that
after all football is the real American
sport Football is played by amateurs
it is contested between educational
institutions, it is a game of manhood.
And it is a 22-man game.

The Democrats should not worry
about the alleged Republican cam

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY E. HOUSE
(From Philadelphia Public Ledgar.l

Along with those who retail the I'M
important, those who engage in misdi-
rected effort absorb a certain amount
of our attention. We note in the con-
nection that the few remaining ad-
herents of the Plumb plan, instead of
erecting a tall marble shaft, are de-
voting their time to printing a news
paper.
The editor of the Public Ledger has
received from c. E. C. this letter of
protest, which we take the liberty of
printing: rs the Public Ledger really
as heartless as the On-Second- Thought
column would indicate? 1t was not a
real tragedy in New York-not COM
pared with a pennant loss-and yet
people were torn, mutilated, burned
and killed. 1t is not joke, and surely
you do not stand back of that cruel
paragraph"
Mature reflection convinces us that
c. E. c. is right about it. We seem to
have travelled a considerable distance
at the expense of good taste. propriety
and the finer feelings for an incon-
sidera BILE load. II may interest 9. E.
c.. however. to know that she was
forestalled by Adelaide, who already
had taken the hide Off US for writing

sonal discretion, but I don't see how
you and F. P. A. can rank "A Bird in
Gilded Cage, and THE Fatal We'd

Ahead" Don't you remember its ap
pealing plaintive chorus:
"As the train sped onward,
husband sat in tears
Thinking of the happiness
OF just a few short years;
Baby's face brought pictures
OF the happy life that's sped,
But baby's face can't waken her
In the baggage coach ahead"

Fair Grounds, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Oct. 9-The negro must be given the
same rights as the white man, Warren
G. Harding declared on the border
land of the south tonight.
There were dead silence in the mo-
mentary pause that followed.
~ believe in equality before the
law" he said. "You cannot give one
right to the white man and deny the
same right to the black man.
"But that does not mean that the
white men and the black man must be
forced to associate together in the ac-
ceptance of their rights" he added.

Mrs. R. C. Trusty and Miss Ida

pn Wednesday, October 13, at bridge
luncheon in honor of Mrs. Trusty's
sisters, Mesdames Evans Townes and
Homer Spraggins, of Minter City, and
w. E. Hughes, of Memphis.
Three tables of players enjoyed a
delicious, three-course luncheon and
after this number of spirited games
of auction filed the hous OF a very
perfect afternoon. At the conclusion
of the games it was found that Mrs.
w. R. Mcbride had made the highest
score and that Mrs. B. C. Duncan had
cut the consolation, so to these two
were presented very attractive sou
venirs and all bade reluctant farewell
to the hostess and honorces.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Every one enjoyed the half holiday
which was given US circus day. Two
half holidays will be given during the
fair and the pupils are expecting to
have games and races, which Will be
interesting.
Misses Dill and ROsemand gave a
beautiful duet entitled, Witches
Flight" by Russell, in chapel We'd
nesday morning. Miss Dill is teaching
the boys and girls to sing and every
one is invited to come over to chapel
exercises some morning and hear the
music.
DR.. Pope was over Thursday morn
ing and examined the arms of the
pupils. Every pupil if he has not had
small pox must have a vaccination
scar or a certificate Of vaccination.
We are very glad to have our En-
glish teacher, Miss VickeTs, hack in
the school room again. She has been
i'll for some time.
Monday morning visitors were, Mr..
o. F. Lawrence and Rev. w. ". Wool
lard. Every one enjoyed the talks
made by both.
The girls on the basket ball team
are practicing diligently and expect
to have a game soon with the College.
Every grade in The high school is
planning to organize its class team
soon.
School reports were given oU. to
the pupils the first of the week, almost
every one has decided to get to worn
and to allow cot even one bad grade
to creep in.
We are glad tC see the janitor back
at his work. h was injured last
week by falling beam which struck
him right above the heart, parali@lnsg
him for some time.
The Oxford foot ball team comes
to Grenada today and has as much
right to htink she will beat Us as
Grenada has in thinking differently
Oxford has a good team and always
was up to high standard. The home
team has practiced faithfully after
having won its first game. The locals
are not over confident, an idea which
has lost many games, but they will
have to be supported by Grel.ada.
The team work is up to higher
standard of perfection than it was in
the first game, although it was fairly
good then. On this game the success
of the rest of the season will depend.
A good crowd or rOoters were out
to the first game to see what would
expected at this game. xxx

PUBLIC SCHOOL BOOKS.

The GlOster Record calls attention
to the almost complete change in the
books to be used in the common
school which the State Text Book
Commission made for this session, and
properly criticises the coniSsion for
having having made the change at the
time when everything is abnormally
high.
Public officials as a general thing
have little regard for cost when the
expense is to be borne by the public,
and this seems especially true of the
Text Books Commission. The books
just adopted can be but little better
than the old ones at best, and it is
whether they are any i'm
whatever. On the other
hand, the added cost to the patrons of
the schools will reach far into thous-
ands of dollars. Some Of the text
books used in schools are costing as
high az four dollars each. While the
books adopted by tie commission
may not roach this exorbitant figure,
they will cost but little less.-Port

THE A. & M. TROUBLE

Discussing the financial trouble at
the A. & M. College, in the light Of de-
velopments during the past few days,
the Vicksburg Herald says:
''That Governor Russell has incur
red President Smiths challenge of his
good intent, honest motive, and vera
city, is not strange. Of all Missis-
sippi's scab lot of recent governors
except perhaps, Bilbo, it has been the
fortune of Lee Russell to most invite
distrust. He is now probably expert
encing the distrust he has excited in
his poll of the Members of the legisla-
ture for authority to borrow money
to supply the A. & M. College as
shown by Accountant Cleaver. The
Herald contended upon the statement
of the A. & NJ. College trouble that
it was within the sole jurisdiction of
the legislature to remedy. Since
President Smiths contradiction of the
accuracy of Governor Russell's fig
ures and the, correctness of his de-
ductions it would be a positive I'M
and wro,-g for the mem
bers of the legislature to delegate the
power of borrowing aid expen ling
money there UNDER"

WEAK OPINION OF GOV

on him. l kept up with the Coahoma
correspondence, also the Goldsby scan
dal, and after boiling it down to its
essence, l feel that any fair-minded
man should not condemn Russell. We
are taught by the hictory of the hu-
man race that fool is not held re-
sponsibfe for his folly. Russell is just
an uneducated, uncomfortable fool.

FACTS ABOUT THE
BABIES CONTEST.

Attention is again called to the
Better Babies Contest which will be
held October 1923 at the Fair
grounds. This is not beauty show
ard children are not entered fo- prizes
but for information and help. How
ever, the Woman's Home Companion
offers Better Babies Certificates and
Diplomas and one bronze medal to
babies scoring highest in the physical
examination. The Department of
Health is not interested so much in
prizes to be offered but on the other
hand is most Interested in how much
knowledge and information can be
gained by the parents along the line
of proper care Of their children.
Therefore, by means of physical cx-
aminations of these children, it is
hoped that parents may know more
about their children and that the
children may be given a better start
in life because of the knowledge gain
ed by their parents.
DR.. B. S. Guyton, Ear, Eye, Nose
and Throat specialist from Univer-
sity of Mississippi, will acsiSt in the
examinations. DIR. William F. Wild,
former Director of Public Health in
the State of Kansas will assist, also
DR.. B. F. Gardner, who has been with
the International Health Board and
associated with public health work
in the West Indies Islands will as
sist. DR.. C. NJ. Shipp, of the State
Board of Health will conduct some
of the examinations and all dental and
oral examinations will be m:,Ic by Drs.
Bailey, Dudley and BroaGstreet, of
this city. With this corps Of physi-
clans and their assistants, it will be
possible to examine as many children
as will be brought in, and it is hoped
that parents from all parts of the
county will bring their children from
six months of age to five years in
for examination. There is absolutely
no charge made for these examina-
tionG or fer anything connected with
the work for Better Babies.

tertain than ever attempted in this
section. 1t will be q mag ificent ex-
position of pres~nt day progress.
The opening day will be the big

The night program Will consist of
the Nat Reiss Carnival Company, with
twenty paid shows and two big free

The Fair catalogue issued a few
days ago is quite a credit&ble publica-
ton and shows very graphically what
the Fair management hope for. The
Fair is to be held October 26-29.
President H B .Barbee, is unusually
optimistic about what is to be had at
the Fair and the crowds expected.
He has been earnestly at work on the
job for the past four mont,-s or more
and is one of those characters which
allows nothing to dampen his ardor
and enthusiasm when once he sets
his hands to perfcrm any undertak-
ing. Naturally the community wishes
that his fcndest hopes about the Fair
may be realized.

ROWLAND-CAFFEY.

On Tuesday afternoon at o clock
October IL, the lovely country home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Carpenter in
the Providence community was the
scene of a beautiful home wedding
when Mr.. Fonda G. Rowland, of Char
lesion, made Miss Edna Earl Caffey,
sister of Mrs. Carpenter and daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. Caffey, his
bride, Rev. John Tillcry Lewis, pas
tor of the Methodist church at Char
lesion, officiating.
The home was very appropriately
decorated with ferns an flowers max
ing altogether picture thoroughly in
keeping with the happy function, the
event which was to be elimination of
Cupid's artful work. The bride never
looked prettier than on this occasion ;
her radiant smile showed her happi-
ness and betokened that trust which
she had implicitly given to the man
with whom she had voluntarily linked
her future. Quite a number of the
friends of tho bride and her family in
the community were present to wit
ness the ceremony which wcs most
beautifully and impressive.y said by
the minister. The bride is descrvedly
one of the most popular and one of
the most attractive young ladies in
her community. She has a bright
mind and most gracious and happy
demeanor and never fails to win the
esteem and the admiration OF all who
get to know her. For quite while
she was one Of Grenada's many young
ladies engaged in office work, duty
which she met intelligently and well.
The groom was reared in or near
Charleston being a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ben Rowland. He is at present
one of the trusted employees of the
Womble Furniture Co., of Charleston,
and is one of the most substantial
young men of Tallahatchie county.
He won the confidence of all who
got to know him in the war. He was
one of the splendid young men who
enlisted with the Grenada company.
There were present from Charles
ton the groom's parents, Mrs. II. H.
Womble and Messrs. Jam Rice and
Harry Dogan. Mr.. and Mrs. Q. E.
Lockett, Miss Willie Smith and Mr..
D. w. Dogan, all of Grenada were
among those present at the wedding.
The Sentinel tenders congratula-
tions and best wishes.
