DIR. SIMPSON BLACKWELL
START SOAP FACTORY

DR.. J.. P. Simpson, like most others
who ever live in Grenada, is back
again. He is back to remain. He
skyrocketed around but found things
about as good in Grenada in a bust
ness way as elsewhere, so he comes
back and states that he will add to
his other business, a soap factory, an
enterprise which should mean no lit
tie in a business way to Grenada. DR..
Simpson has the hustle and the pluck.
and is blessed with the faculty, which
is very important at this time, of be-
ing able to talk over or through any
dark clouds or places that may come
athwart his pathway. He will no
doubt take the public more freely in
to his confidence about his soap
manufacturing plans.

OUR ADVICE DID NOT "TAKE"-JOB WAS CREATED.

II The Sentinel of March 4, we stated edtorlaliy that we mao

nartment that of statistician to direct the distribution OF the
million and a quarter floating educational fund provided by the
last LEGISLATURE. We advised against the creation OF TINS ONCE
mainly for the reason that we thought it absolutely Unnecessary
but orr advice did not take. We expressed a debut at the
time about its taking, nevertheless we performed III outs d

still. There is abundant force IN the department o euuca'tOn
to do this work. This is no time for creation OF more O1nceS. II
is the time to cut down offices and the salaries OF some othcers:
Prof. Gainey is one of the states ableSt educators ana oW'

Election on him. He is in demand in the educational world and
is not even remotely dependent on the state board of education
for employment. He will measure up to the highest standards
in any duty he undertakes.
The ClarionIedger of last Sunday reproduced our editorial
of March 4, above referred to, with the following strong en-
dorsement:
THE above article is from the Grenada Sentinel, of March
4th. This paper is ably edited by O. f. Lawrence, who keeps
well posted on State affairs. He was correct in regard to the
State Board of Education making a new job, when the farmers
are trying to sell their cotton at Z cents per pound and manu-
featuring industries are cutting salaries and. reducing their

as was suggested by the Sentinel. The job may pay So, $50 per
year-the acknowledged is not informed as to this. 1t must
pay an excellent salary for Prof. Gainey is an able man, cap
able of drawing a good salary as teacher, or in any other capa-
city.
IF there was not a man already connected with the States
Educational work competent to do this work, then the Board
acted wisely in creating a new job and going outside to get al
man to fill it. With the enormous amount of money appropriat-
ed for ational purposes in Mississippi, it does seem that

funds. If so, he should have been used for this work, and this
added expense saved to the tax payers of the state at this
critical time"

There have been no new developments in the telephone rate
increase situation. 1t is more and more manifest that the peo-
pie throughout the state are pretty we'll of one mind in opposl-
ton to the increase, and it is clear that there is going to be
enough refusals to pay rate increase to cause the telephone
company to be sued from Yellow Rabbit to Vinegar Bend for re-
moving phones. Whenever the company. goes to removing
phones after the old rate is rendered, and in the face OF the writ
issued by the Judge of the circuit court OF Kinds county, right
then it wall plough up more snakes than it can kill in the next
five years.
Locally, a signed agreement is in circulation pledglng the
telephones patrons of Grenada to refuse the increased rate and

of the telephone patrons of Grenada will sign the agreement.

Away back in the long ago, wher

spring of wonderful medicinal quail.
ties a few miles from where the Ten.
neSsee River turns north to end it
self in the Ohio.
He moved to the springs and used
the waters and Was cured and could
never be persuaded to leave the place
for any length of time.
T~ishomingo, chieftain of another
great tribe, fell sick and his follow
ers ~despaired Of his life until they
heard of the wonderful cure of Chief
Iuka.
Bearing their disease stricken lead
er upon a litter to Iuka's reservation,
they begged of him that their warri-
or chief might be permitted to par
take of his God-given waters.
TishomingO drank and was also
healed and a great friendship was
cemented between these great men.
Annually Tishomingo and his fol-
lowers visited Iuka and camped in the
beautiful valleys and along the hill
tops, drinking from the wonderful
mineral springs.
Their camp grounds are still point
ed out and their arrow heads still
found and their final resting place
will never cease to be one of interest.
but their impcrishable monument is
the little town built around their be-
loved springs, Iuka, TishominGo

The fame Of Iuka'c mineral water,
has spread over the land. ~ the

WHAT SOP IS JACKSON GETTING?

What's the matter with Jackson and why is the cltlzenship
of the States capital not joining with the balance of the state IN
the fight against the increased telephone rate? What sop Is
Jackson getting? Is it because the Cumberland Telephone
Company has a big brick building in Jackson that silence regns
supreme there? One of the newspapers OF Jackson we oeneNe'
has taken the part of the telephone company tor increased rates
