Ev0KEs LITTLE SYMPATHY.
Governor Lee N. Russell in las

Governor Lee NJ. Russell in last
Sundays daily papers had an article
denouncing the action Of the late
state Democratic convention in leav-
ing his name out Of the delegation
from this state to the national con-
vention in San Francisco, asserting
that old time-honored precedent was
thereby broken. He also contends
that the state convention represent
ed only 5 per cent of the Democracy
of Mississippi. Such plants win
evoke but little sympathy among the
people at large. If voters are SO apa-
thetic as to fail to attend the pre-
cinct and county conventions they
have no cause to complain if the ac-
ton to which they are opposed gains
control. In this instance the support
ers Of the national administration
were the most active and elected del
egates of their own way of thinking
and completely controlled the state
convention. In ONE counties, how
ever, the adherents of the white
Chief" and Governor Russell controll-
ed the county conventions, the other
side being the most apathetic, and
the losing faction has no reason what
yer for "kicking." 1t is claimed that
Gov. Russell was left out of the del
egation because he was not in SYM
pathy with the present Democratic
administration, which the state con-
vention heartily and unequivocally
endorsed.-Lexington Advertiser.

IN OFFICE.

One of the strongest advocates OF rotation in office we have
known was Congressman T. u. Sisson, when he was running against
Hon. Shed Hill in the campaign when Mr.. Sisson was elected IL
years ago. The principal plank in his platfrom was "Give the
Young Man a Chance He said that a man should be elected to
Congress one term, and if he made good he was entitled to a second
term as al endorsement of his faithful service. But in order to be
entitled to a third term he must be such a ma in governmental af-
fairs as could reach up and :" get the moon and stars, - and not even
a Webster or Clay should be elected more than three terms. He
also told the people that if you re going to deed the office to one
man for life, throw water on the pine knots and put out the fire
and quit educating your boys, for they will never have a chance in
life"
If this was true - years ago, it is true now. Young men are
struggling to educate themselves and prepare for a life of service.
Yet Mr.. Sisson has held the office to which he was elected when he
commended for the above principles for six terms, or IL years, and
will have drawn 100000 in salary and several thousand dollars in
mileage from this office when his term ends.
Experience has clearly demonstrated that to keep the same man
in office too long is not best for the country. They come to believe
that they are al[wise; they lose contact with the people except at
election time and lose the proper consideration for the rights Of the
masses and lean toward their own interests; they enact laws en-
trenching themselves about with more power, thereby making a
strong central government at the expense OF States Rights and the
powers that should remain vested in the people. The President of
the United States, by an unbroken precedent, has never been permit
ted to serve longer than two terms.
We have. in the race for Congress this time, splendid young
man who is 36. years old; not too old and not too young. He is a
seff-made man in every sense of the word. He has experienced the
part of the toling masses and has been able to keep his senses when
success has favored him. He is honest, energetic, educated and a
student, and is elninently qualified to fill the office of Congressman.
We refer to Hon. jeff Busby, of Houston. Won't you, by your vote,
give him a chance to prove his worth and merritt Or will you con-
tinue to ''sign the deed to the office to the present Incumbent
Editorial from Houston Times-Post. (Adv)

LOSES CASH PRIZE-WINs BRIDE

although engine trouble caused
Jules Goux, famous French racing
driver, to withdraw from the India
rapolis sweepstakes 500 mile race, he
did not drive in vain. The daring
Peugeut driver did not win N of
the cash prizes offered h the classic,
but he won something infinitely more
valuab1e-a bride.
Goux was quietly married the other
day to Miss Ruth Davis of Indianapo-
lis. After the. quiet marriage they let
it be known that the wedding culmi-
mated q courtship of less than three
months, which had its origin at q
dinner party attended by the now
Mrs. Goux, and the famous driver,
soon after Goux had arrived at India
napolis to tune-up his car for the big
race. They were engaged three days
later.
Goux is general sales manager for

Second Motor Transport Convoy Co
ing Across Country Over Bank
head National Highway.
Presence of Dodge Brothers Cara in
s. Big Train Causes Demonstrations
of Welcome Along Route.

Southern and southwestern states
| will have their opportunity to shrink
or bow, as the case may be, when the
report on road conditions is turned in
by the 1920 transcontinential convoy
of the Motor Transport Corps. Last
wear the truck train travelled from
| Washington to San Francisco by way
of Chicago and the northwest, over
the Lincoln Highway.
This years tour, which started from
Washington June IA, is .ver the Bank
| head National highway, t~raversipg
such states as the Virginias, Caro-
nnas. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, and Cali
forpia, terminating in Los Angeles on
or about September II. The convoy
is now we'll under way and roads thus
far have been fairly good, but the
long hard grind is proving to be a Sc
we're test for the motor equipment
nevertheless.
Much of the monotony of the long
Journey overland is being relieved by
cordial public receptions in the cities
and towns along the route. Dodge
Brothers dealers especially have been
active in this respect, taking the in
litiative in enthusiastic demonstrations
of welcome in which women of the
towns play their part by providing re-
freshments for the travellers. In sew
eral instances large fleets of Dodge
Brothers cars have gone far out be-
yond the limits of their citieseto meet
the train and escort it triumphantly
to the scene of deliberately arranged
festivities.
The particular interest shown in the
event by Dodge Brothers motor car
owners is explained by their pride ov-
err the cars remarkable war record,
coupled with the fact that several
Dodge Brothers a were again
chosen as official units of the train.
Last year a feet Of these cars piloted
the trucks across the country with a
record of unfaltering performance
and low upkeep cost that was fully
up to the military standard that more
than $4,000 of the same cars had es-
| tablished for themselves in the army.
1t is significant that Dodge Brothers
motor car was chosen by the govern
ment as the official army car of its
class and was also included in the
second transcontinental convoy as the
only light car officially participating.
This selection includes both the pas
senger car, for officers, and the bust
ness car, for officers luggage.

FILMS CARRIED BY AlRsnIPs.

Tilmd0m has turned to airships as
express carriers in the mad rush for
speed caused by keen competition.
Transportating q rush shipment Of
film from a company on location at
San Diego, CAL, Norman Manning Of
the Pathe company as passenger in
the PONY limp" belonging to the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, arrived
in Los Angeles recently in three hours
and eleven minutes, just in time to
place the film on a fast overland train
for New York.
The entire trip of 1873 miles was
made five miles offshore over the Pa
ciic at a height varying from 700 to
1000 feet. Two pilots were carried
besides the film company manager.
The little IS foot dirigible, prob
ably the smallest practicable airship
ever constructed in the United States
and the first commercial dirigible in
the country, consumed but nine gal
Ions of gasoline and half a gallon of
OLA cost of approximately two
cents a mile.
Manning, who was recovering from
the effects Of injuries received in an
automobile accident, was badly shak-
en- up by the automobile trip to San
Diego, but suffered no discomfort
from his three hour air trip.
This is the first commercial trip
ever made in the United States by
lighter-than-air craft and the longest
ever made by so small a craft.
The United States army has taken
cognizance of the ~practicability Of
these small blimps by purchasing two
for use in connection with artillery
sporting and observation.

DISGRACE TO HIS STATE.

Inc pOlltlcaI fireworks have start
ed in our state. Governor Russell
has taken advantage of his defeat
for National delegate to come out in
a very d~isgraceful article against the
State Convention because of a sore
toe over his defeat for said place.
His defeat was due to the fact, that
the State Convention was selected
by all the people, proved to be a
straight Wilson Democratic conven-
ton, and did not think it right to
send a half-breed party man to a
Democratic Convention to elect a
presidential candidate at a time when
the country is loaded with pro-Ger-
mans, Socialists and grating Repub-
licans. And it was truly right, and
the lowbred diatribe published by
Gov. Russell is not only a shame on
the man, but a disgrace to his State.
A may big enough for governor of
any State would not have lowered
his dignity by showing his sore toe.

1t seems that it has been left for
q "coon" to catch the latest State
crooks. One ,Goldsby, q Vicksburg
negro who was recently sentenced to
the pen for dealing in stolen goods
as a business in the hill city, was
seen in Chicago by some delegates
from Mississippi who were attending
the Republican Convention. Upon
investigating it was found that Gov.
Russell had secretly released him
from the p~enitentiary. The Sheriff
and Mayor Of Vicksburg hiked out
to Chicago and brought the negro
back the other day, and here's his
tale, and claims he has letters in
Chicago to bear out what he says:
II went out to the farm after /
was sentenced last April, leaving ST.
500 on deposit at the American Bank
e. Trust Company for which ] ex-
pected to get a pardon in July.
Senator Harry Murray told me it
would take that much as he would
have to get another man, Governor
Bilbo, to assist him in getting me a
pardon.
Senator Murray told me that I
would have to get another lawyer to
assist and it would take about $500
after / got to the farm. I took $500
or 5000 with me for this and other
|expenscs and MI. Williamson, superin-
tendent' of the farm has the $500
now.
after ! got to the farm ! told
Senator Murray that l could get out
cheaper than $4,000 and before July,
too, for Wilson Hodge representing
Lawyer Schauber, Gov. Russelrs
campaign manager could get me out
right away for $500.
Senator Murray. said he would see
that / stayed there unless / gave him
the money in bank in Vicksburg and
II called it off.
Governor Bilbo came to me and
said he would get me out for $4,000
and l told him too, that / could get
out cheaper. Finally he said that if
II got him $4,000 he'd pay Williams
| $500 for Schauber.
"Schauber wrote to me after / got
to Chicago and said he'd lever been
paid and threatened to make trouble
for me-"

him the money that had Of mine and
he wrote back that he would not pay
it until after the pardon was secured

The Coast Beacon, which is a sup
porter Of Gov. Russell, in speaking OF
his recent communication on the state
convention, says: "Gov. Russell has
no one to blame for the lack OF In
terest in the county conventions but
his own friends, who, in confidence,
went to sleep on their job" This is
true, and no one has any right to
criticise the county or precinct con-
ventions, for no one was denied the
privilege Of voting for any delegate
he saw fit to send to the county con-
vention, and there was simply 2 lack
of interest on the part of the voters.

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1920-07-09

WHEN we went into office, in 1916, an audit showed a CON-
mon county fund badly in debt, with $3, 10000 unpaid outstanding
warrants against said fund without a cent to pay them IN the county
treasury. We were also without funds with which to pay the curc-
rent expenses. County warrants were selling tor gu Genus 10 ~
cents on the dollar. The County had not been out OF dept IN some
thing like 20 years. County contracts had to be let e contractors
at about Is cents o the dollar above what they should nave oeen
let for 81 as to take care of the discount on the warrants; people
would not take them at less This was a direct loss to the taxpayers
of the County. - -r - r
"Within one year from the time we went into office every war
rant that was issued could be cashed at the county depository just
as a check, the holder getting every cent the warrant was ISSUED
for within three years the common county fund was out of debt
and did not owe one cent; by April l., 1919, this fund had 100000
to it's credit in the county treasury, with which to pay current ex-
penses. This was done without the tax levy being raised during
the time.
1--WE are frank to say that this was accomplished largely through
the valuable services of Jeff Busby, and his policies laid before and
adopted by the Board. His services to us were always efficient and
sound, with a view Of saving the taxpayers money:
1--WE have also been in close touch with MIR. Busby as Prose
cutting Attorney of Chickasaw County for the past eight years. He
always did what he thought was his duty, without regard to wealth,
rank o T station in life, prosecuting all persons alike who were
charged with violating the criminal law. No person can truthfuly
say that he ever "lay down. on his duty; he bears this envlable
reputation, without exception, among his people
1--WE regard Mr.. Busby as q heightened, sober, Christian gentle
man, a good lawyer, and we believe that if he is elected to Congress
that he will make us an able, efficient, conscientious and dependable
representative.
