we notice in the evidence before the University investiga-
ton the other day, one of the witnesses, MI. Jones incidentally
mentioned the name of a certain stenographer, when the follow

"GOvernor Russell was vsibly nervous when this name was
mentioned; and some of the knowing ones in the crowd looked

IN MEMORIAM.

The suddn death of the promising
young man, Mr.. Arnold Bickerstaf
has caused a cloud of sorrow and
gloom to overshadow the hearts and
lives of those who knew him.
Sunday night, June 10Th, the young
man. who was a very successful bar
Der in Central Memphis, met his
death in a very unusual manner in
his room at -161 1-2 Adams Street.
The cause of his death still remains
a mystery, some believing that he was
his assassin, others believing that
from the arrangement Of his room and
the presence of the blood and fatal
weapon, he must have. been the victim
of foul play. There were found in
his possession some money, his watch,
and books, WHICH were two Bibles
and a song book.
Since his conversion four years
ago he had been a conscientious and
follower of the meek and
lowly Nazarene. The Bible in which
he lived was the rule and guide Of
his everyday life until that Sunday
night when he, who had been debili-
lated in health and who had asked
cave Of his employers, met his mys-
death

JUS FOR THE SAKE OF KNOWING FOR SURE.

Our friend, Bro: Anderson of the Ripley Sentinel, rushed
forward only recently to answer for Gov. Russell about the
rumor that the A: & NJ. College graduates did not want their
diplomas to be delivered by the Governor-and the physical
delivery was not made by the Governor.
We would like to know "for sure whether or not a goodly
number of the young lady graduates of the Mississippi State
College for women at Columbus, likewise did not want the
Governor to award their diplomas? Is it not a fact that the
Governor did not award the diplomas-evidently the Governor
eXtrlcated himself from an embarrassing situation very grace
fully by asking the lady member of the Board of Trustees to
deliver the diplomas.
Our curiosity is Just a bit keyed up to know whether or not
there Is any foundation for the statement. that one of the young
ladies OF the Senior class of that institution declined most en-
Pnatlcally and very pointedly Gov. Russells invitation extended
her some months ago, on one of his visits to the College, to ac-
company him to the tea room or cafeteria? And further. did
or did not the Governor upbraid the said young lady upon her
refusal, which was made with more emphasis than grace,
Whereupon the colloquy became rather animated, so animated
that the Governor, 1T is said, told her that he was in a position
to prevent her getting her diploma?
q. ?ust TOR the sake of knowing and of keeping the record
stfalght, we are prOpOunding this question. Of course if there
is nobody who knows or is concerned enough to tell MS we shall
have to be content just where we are at present.

CAMP LUCIA SCOONA.
BRYANT, MISSISSIPPI

Much enthusiasm is being shown
over district No. 2 among the Hi-Y
boys, in regard to Camp Luca Sc0ona,
which is to be held at Bryent. Miss,
or the plantation of Mr.. W. C. Bry-
ant. of C~offeeville, Miss.
There has been some confusion
over the fact that the camp was AN
celted. and then later. OF account of
the many requests Of the bows the
matter vas re~considered and the orr
glnal plans will be carried out. The
camp will be conducted from July
1875, with Mr.. Charlie l.. Wharton
as Camp Director, assisted by an eff
hrlent corps Of college boys as lead
ers.
The annual camp Of the Hi-Y boys
is the big event of the summer pro
gram of the Hi-Y clubs, and the Y.
NJ. l.. a. authorities earnestly urge
every boy in the district TO be present.
The camping site this year is of I'm
usual interest IS it is situated on the
Old hunting grounds of the Chickasaw
and ChOctaw tribes, in fact the
boundary line of these two tribes
runs through the camp grounds.
Nearby is the location of the three
extinct towns of Perryville, Hender-
sonvllle AID Plummersville. The en-
tire neighborhood of the camp is full
of places Of great historic interest.
and MIR. W. c. Bryant hos kindly con
scented to tell the boys the complete
history of the locality.
Another attractive feature of the
camp is the. Cliff Climbing contest.
Along the banks of the beautiful
Scoona River there are four immense
cliffs, which tower high above tbs
tops of the highest trees and these
selfsame cliffs which once served as
signal towers for the Indians are to be
the scene of a desperate encountr
when the valiant campers of Luca
Scoona attempt to scale their lofty
heights.
Quite a number of boys have been
planning to attend this camp and al
ready registrations are beginning to
come in to the Y. N. C. A. Office in
Grenada. Mr.. G.. L. Wharton the
Camp Director, is very anxious to
have the boys who are planning to at
tend the camp to send in their names
as early as possible so that provision
NAV be made for their arrival All
bows of II years of age and over ars
cordially invited to attend.

BIG "EARTHBOUND" SCENE
STARTLED EVEN PERSHINC

The scene in "Earthbound," Basi
Kings great film story, in which one
man pays the penalty for his affair
with another mans wife, is a bit of
dramatic acting which in tragic in
tinsity has seldom been euualled on
stage or screen. "Earthbound" comes
to the Grenada Opera House Thurs
day.
Even General Pershing, who was
being shown through the Goodwin
studio the day the scene was taken.
was startled by it's realism, and
praised the work of the participants
in the highest terms.
Nicholas DesborOugh, plaved by
WynGham Standing, had betrayed the
Confluence of his old friend Jim Rit-
tenshcw (MahlOn Hamilton). The
two men meet half way up the long
stairway in the prominent club of
which both are members and Ritten-
shaw shoots on sight.
The shots bring to their feet the
startled men in the various rooms of
the club, bringing them to the lobby
to stare fascinated at the victim, be-
w1idered, dying even as he stands
there, facing the One-time friend who
shot him.
Then. straight backward he falls,
az a log would topple, and rolls to the
floor below. There is no crumbling.
but a sickening, unbending crash to
the steps.
Drama, pathos, tragedy, are in this
scene. 1t is but one episode in a
story which, throughout, stirs human
emotion to the depths.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1921-07-08

His remains were brought to Gre
NADIA, Miss, where, after a most
splendid funeral service conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Morgan, his body was
inferred in the Hebron cemetery,
three miles east of Grenada. Though
his body is resting mid the scenes of
his earlier life yet his enraptured
soul is resting in the arms of the low
ing Savior whom he loved n deserved.
We extend to his many friends and
loved ones who lament his death our
heartfelt sympathy. May you find
consolation in the fact that his life
was a living epistle of the Lord Jesus
Christ and that his spirit is now with
Him in the City where there is no
din of business or rush for selfish
gain but in the glorious City of God.

TELEPHONE COMPANYGETs ANOTHER KNOCKOU7

The Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Co. got another
knockout the other day when United States District Judge
Holmes refused the temporary injunction asked which was
sought upOn'the plea that the company was losing money and
therefore asked to put in temporary increased rates pending
final action by the State Courts. Judge had previously refused
to permit a transfer to his Court from the State Courts. This
is the third knockout for the poor Cd Telephone company, the
hrst one being in Circuit Judge Potter's Court at Jackson.
The case will now be gone into fully by Judge Potter and, as
we understand, the judgment of his Court will only determine
whether or not the Rail Road Commission was fully and proper-
Iy advised in the matter when it acted.
The Committee of Ten, of which the editor of this paper is
one, named to direct the contest against the Telephone Com
pany in behalf of the public, has carefully mapped out its plans
and is putting up the best fight possible. The suit. we believe.
will finally be decided favorable to the public which will mean
the saving of several hundred thousand dollars annually to
telephoc" users in this STATE.

J. E. SHAW NAMED
TEMPORARILY

The board of supervisors named,
Monday, Mr.. ]. f. Shaw temporary
Road Commissioner for the county
pending the illness of Mr.. H. B. Bar
bee who vas chosen some weeks ago.
The position is a very important
one and many believe Mi. Shaw n
of the best equipped men in the
county for the place.
1t is hoped and believed that Mr..
Shaw will insist on the fulfillment to
the letter of every road or bridge
contract. The rule has been too
much in Grenada county to hold the
county for every dollar and give the
contractor a wide latitude. It is
time for that to stop.

ABOUT BRIDGES.

In our Judgment, the washing away of so many bridges in
Grenada county during the past two years-bridges that were
built only four or five years ago-is a monument to either the
ignorance or careleseness of the engineers who planned them
and a severe indictment of the man or men who built them. If
engineers can not plan bridges that will stand over the little
creeks and branches of Grenada county then there is no need
to have engineers.
We think that our supervisors are fortunate at the present
time in having our own fellow citizen, Mr.. Wallace Hudson, as
engineer. We feel sure that he will profit by the county's
losses and take nothing for granted. Mr.. Hudson is not only a
hlgh-class citizen but is regarded as one of the States best civil
noinn
