Thomas and Clynes are particular

LBR. BOARDS RULING
SAVING FOR R. RS.
40 Per Cent Saved on Repair
Work Alone, Says Leader.
Piece Work Will Again Be
Attempted as Standard to
Regulate Workmen's Wage

CHICAGO, April 16.-"Abroga-
ton of the national agreements by
the railroads and their employees will
save as much as 40 per cent on the
cost of repair work alone" according
to statement issued by Samuel Rea,
president of the Pennsylvania lines.
His statement was in the nature of a
reply to the charges of labor union
leaders that the roads had squandered
much money by letting contracts for
repair work to outside shops.
"The fact is" said Mr.. Rea, "that
the direct cost Of the repairs on 5000
cars, out of a total of 1,415,435
freight cars, was much less than in
railroad shops. For instance, the di-
rect labor required to repair 3,O66 of
these 5000 cars was sent to outside
shops cost $608,494. The same work
in railroad shops would have cost the
Pennsylvania Railroad $1,0O0,36O.
The labor cost was 40 per cent less.
Outsid concerns paid their men on the
piece work basis. Under the social
ed national agreement the Pennsyl-
vania road had to pay its men by the
day."

CANDY AND WATTS
HANGED SAME DAY
First Killed Schoolmate, Other
Family Physician

WAYNESBORO, Miss, April Is
Lester Candy, aged about 27, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. G. Candy, was hang
ed in the county Jail here today by
Sheriff A. L. Crowsby for the murder
of Cleveland Rowe. Young Candy
held his nerve until the end, having
had a good nights sleep. He was
visited by his mother, brother and
sisters during the morning, as well as
by number of citizens from all parts
of the county. He refused to make
any statement further than that he
brought it all upon himself. When
Sheriff Crosby notified him about IL
|o'clock that he would be hanged at
noon, his reply was: "I am ready to
go whenever it suits your conven-
ience." The trap was sprung at
1855 and the doctors, ]. F. Pou, F.
E. Christopher and o. A. Lomax,
pronounced life extinct seven and
one-half minutes later, his neck being
broken in the fall. The body drop
ped very quickly and, with the ex-
ception of slight quiver of the
muscles, the body did not move. Be-
sides the sheriff, deputy and the doc
tors, only a few guards were pres
ent and witnessed the hanging. The
body was Immediately cut down, plac-
ed in casket and conveyed to the
Candy Cemetery, about IL miles
northeast of here, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Frank M. Gray, where
the remains will be laid to rest late
today. His relatives declined to
claim the body, which fact made it
necessary for the sheriff to look after
the burial.
PORT GIBSON, Miss, April 15.-
Jesse Watts of Vicksburg paid the
full penalty for his crime of the MUIR
der of DIR. d. s. Alverson, a prOmi-
nent physician of Vicksburg, on the
gallows here this morning at 10:49
o'clock. Watts killed DIR. Alverson
near Vicksburg Jan 5. 1920, and Sc
cured change of venue to this place,
and was convicted and sentenced to
hang. Watts, represented by Judge
Pat Henry of Vicksburg and Robert
B. Anderson of this place, appealed
to the supreme court; the supreme
court affirmed the judgment of the
lower court. The supreme court fix
ed the day of execution for Feb. IL
of this year. Watts then appealed
to Gov. Russell for commutation of
sentence. The governor on Feb. 8
granted Watts respite until today.
Watts attorneys have been at work
on the case before the board of par
dons and the governor all of the time
during the respite in order to get q
Communication of the sentence of death
to that of life Imprisonment, but
without avail. Watts was accom-
panied here by Sheriff S. III. Bagnell
of this county and his three special
deputies. Mrs. Jesse Watts, wife of
the condemned man, and his two sis
ters and Father M. C. Hale, one of the
Catholic priests of Vicksburg, were
also here. Watts remains were car
ried to Vicksburg on the evening

CARD OF THANKS.

When the Weeks home burned in
which we lost all of our personal be-
longings, indeed barely escaping
with our lives, we were made to see
and realize more fully than ever be-
fore the kindness and thoughtfulness
OF human nature and the real good
ness of heart of so many dear people
OF Grenada. Our distress at losing
so many things which we treasured
highly was greatly mitigated by the
evidence of genuine sympathy of so
many and by substantial marks of
sincere interest in us. To one and
all, we are taking this method of ex-
pressing our gratefulness.
Very Sincerely,
MIR. and Mrs. H. D. Lane,
and Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Dycus.

HAY SHIPMENTS RECU-
LATED BY PLANT BOARD

Agricultural College, Miss, July
3O.-Beginning August l, all ship
ments of hay entering Mississippi
must have a permit from the State
Plant Board attached to the ~yaybill.
Permits can be secured from the
Chief Inspector of the Plant Board
by furnishing satisfactory evidence
as to the origin of the shipments.
This is the substance of a rule re-
Gently. passed by the Mississippi
State Plant Board in order to pre-
vent the possibility of bringing in
the alfalfa weevil from the infested
states of the West 1t was also made
necessary by the rapid spread of the
Mexican Bean BEETLE in Alabama.
Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Another rule of the Plant Board
adopted in 1919 prohibited absolute
ly the shipment of hay into Mississip-
pi from the alfalfa weevil area of the
West Colorado, Wyoming, Utah.
Nevada, Idaho and Oregon), but did
not give complete protection as it
was easily possible for shipments
from these states to be re-bilied or
broken up into smaller lots in Kansas
City. st. Louis, or Memphis, and then
enter Mississippi with its origin un-
known. The new rule will require
proof of the origin Of all hav ship
ments and thereby remove the menace
which. has heretofore treatened the
alfalfa growers of Mississippi.

DR.. VESEY WHO WAS
IN GRENADA IN 1878

The writer received this week a
letter from his friend and Grenada
fellow citizen, E. L. Gerard, written
from Valdosta, Ca, which stated that
recent reproductions Of parts of The
Sentinel Of Nov. 16, 1878, reminded
him that DR.. Vesey, who came and
ministered to so many in Grenada
during the epidemic Of '78, Mr.. Ge-
rard himself among DR.. Vesey's
patients, was still living in New Or
leans. Mr.. Gerard stated that he had
only recently called on DR.. Vesey
and that the aged physician remem-
bered we'll the period and asked
specifically about so many whom he
treated. Mr. Gerard also suggested
that DR.. Vesey was among the first
to suggest the mosquito as yellow
fever transmitter. He further sug-
gested that the Doctor be extended an
invitation to visit Grenada which
this paper feels sure will meet with a
hearty response from the community.

CROP OUTLOOK RE-
PORTED GRATIFYING
Grenada Merchants can Count on Good
Fall Business. Cotton and Corn
Above The Average.

1t pleases The Sentinel very much
to note the gratifying reports as to
the outlook for both the cotton and
corn crops in this immediate section.
A feeling of optimism seems to per-
wade the farmers which is a happy
transition. Of course the cotton crop
is not yet "out of the woods. Ordi-
narily it could be stated that the cot
ton crop is fully two-thirds made at
this time of the year, but owing to
the fact that all cotton is late, much
depends upon the next three weeks.
But if it continues reasonably dry, it
would seem that it is safe to say that
this immediate section may expect
more than an average yield of cotton.
Thus far, the boil weevil, if reports
are correct, has done very little dam
age and the intensely hot weather
OF the past week or more is calcu-
lated to greatly retard the activities
of the pest.
UnquestiOnably the corn crop has
suffered, especially early corn, from
the drouth, yet in but few localities
has the damage been such as to make
a failure. Late corn is doing well.
The potato crop is good and taken
all in all, the outlook is gratifying n
deed. Thus it would seem that Gre
NADIA merchants and other business
men may safely count on an average
fall business. With cotton selling at
like fair market price and
with plenty of corn in the crib and
hogs grunting around the barn and
cows in the pasture, people will have
some money to spend this fall, and
it is hoped also to be able to pay the
interest on their bank notes, if no
more. Any way, the outlook is far
more satisfactory and more hopeful
than for many months. Let every
body smile and think about the bless
ings of living.
