FINE PECANS GROWN
IN GRENADA COUNTY
Grown on Farm of. Thomas 4 Broad.
street. just North of Yalobusha
River Near Spring Lake.

A representative of The Sentinel
saw some as fine pecans as were ever
shown on the Grenada market this
week, and they were home products.
They grew on the farm of Thomas
Il Broadstreet, just north Of Yalo-
busha river and near Spring Lake.
They were well developed, and large.
The taste was most delightful. They
were as good as the best. There were
two varieties, the long and angular
and the more nearly oval (the names
of the two kinds have escaped the
writer's memory.
The growing of these pecans but
adds another feather to the cap Of
this section insofar as adaptability
and diversity Of industries 60. On
the coast, the pecan crop frequently
runs up as high as four hundred dol
lars per acre. The trees do not re-
quire half as much work as either
corn or cotton. 1t is true that the
pecan crop fails in about two years
out of five, but so does corn and cot
ton.
These Grenada County grown pc
cans are being sold in Grenada, and
too, many are being shipped to var
ious points in the North 1t is well
enough for the farmer to give the
matter of growing pecans some
thought and consideration.

vey and issued the following state

Disciples, 10 Luthreans, II Christ
ians, 18 Catholics, % Congregation
alists, 35 Episcopalians, 29 Baptists,
Sc Presbyterians and 80 Methodists.

known and only four were nom
members. There was one Protestant
Episcopalian, one Christian, the
Lutherans, Dutch Reformed, Unitar-
ians and Mormons all have two mem
bers each. There are Catholics and
6 Baptists, z Congregationalists, IL

STATISTICS SHOW
MEMPHIS WORST
Data That Should put the People Of
America to Work to Strengthen
the Power to Punish Those Who
Regard Human Life so Cheaply.
Food for Thought in Figures.

New York, Dec. 8.-Homicides in
the United States during 1920 to-
tailed approximately 5000, decrease
OF 500 from the 1919 record accord
ing to a computation by Frederick l..
Hoffman, third vice president and sta
tistician Of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company of America.
The figures, made public last night
through the Spectator, showed Mem
phis, Tenn, still in the lead, with a
killing record of 63.4 persons for
every 100000 of population. The
safest of 81 cities. for which figures
were tabulated was Rochester, N. Y,
where the rate was but 1.3 for every
100000.
The tables showed that Southern
States, with large negro populations,
had the highest homicide rate, and
that the proportion of negroes slain
was from three and half to seven
times that of whites. The average
was slightly in excess of four to one.
Tabulations for the period 1916
1919, grouped geographically, showed
the New England States to be most
law abiding as far as homicide was
concerned, with a rate of 2.8 for each
100000. The Southern group had the
highest rate, 1913. In the Middle At
lantic States the rate was 81. Cen
trail States, 81; Rocky Mountain
States, 9.4, and Pacific Coast States
g.
Of the larger cities, Boston had
the lowest rate, 81, New York was
second, with So. The Chicago rate
was 1913, San Francisco, 7.6; Phila-
delphia, So; St. Louis, 1876. and
Cleveland, 1875.

CLEEWIiD TO STAND
STALLION AND JACK

The Sentinel feels that many stock
raisers and farmers will be glad to
know that Glenwild Plantation is GO
ing to stand for the coming season
that celebrated Stallion, Wild Dare,
and that splendid Jack, George Mack.
An ad carried elsewhere in this paper
explains fully. It is well known that
this plantation has some of the best
blooded stock in the United States
and it Is an unusual opportunity of
fered this section to get chance to
breed from these animals.

EDUCATION IN MISSISSIPPI"


the "Voice of the People" column
of the Commercial Appeal of Decem
Der 13. The Sentinel reproduces il
not specially to give it its endorse
ment, but with the idea of empha.
sizing to those who constitute them
selves the leaders in school thought
and school programs in Mississippi
that there is getting to be a great
number who think about like Mr.
Sonderson:
Vardaman, Miss, Dec. 6, 1921
To The Commercial Appeal:
Permit me to thank you and con-
gratulate you upon the excellent ar
ticle quoted from DR.. Kinley and your
editorial "a Thoughtful Mans Pro
test"
The people can not be too quick in
realizing that sinister and selfish men
are at work to manipulate and under
mine the peoples control Of their edu-
cational systems.
We have Smith-Hughes and Smith
Lever aids as a bait thrown out to
get the people to surrender the control
of their schools to a federal bureau
cratic system.
We have now, in Mississippi a
propaganda bureau which is at work
to destroy the peoples control over
their public schools.
Every state Legislature in the
United States has had presented for
its consideration some law that has
proposed to control education through
an autocratic bureau.
In Alabama, Louisiana and Mary
land the autOcratic bureau system of
public school control has gained its
strongest foothold.
The democratic spirit Of the west
and north central states has proved
too strong for the sentiment for bu-
control in the state to gain
much headway.
1t is a significant fact, too, that
the states that have administered
their schools in the most democratic
fashion have the lowest per cent of
lliterates.
Mr.. Editor, you hit the nail on the
head when you said: "The progress of
.entering education in the govern |
nent has gone on for the last three |
,r four years at a staggering rate. |
The educators themselves are respon-
ible for this" /
The "Fleshpots of Egypt" appeal
trongly to very many Of our edu-
ators.
Last week there was sent out from
ackson, Miss, a programme called
The Mississippi Legis-
ature will be asked to carry out the !!
dictated by small group
f men who arrogate to themselves
he control of the Mississippi school
ystem.
This programme sent out in the
anne of the Mississippi Teachers As
ociation is, in fact, a programme
utlined by a small group of school
len who propose to make as many
