$40, 100000 MORE FOR
HIGHWAY PURPOSES

Messrs. Kemp Mattingly and ]. T..
Thomas were in Jackson this week be-
fore the State Highway Commission
for the purpose Of securing ten thous-
and dollars from the State Highway
Department out Of the automobile
fund to properly grade and erect the
four and one-half miles of road that
runs from the old Mullin residence,
district 4, to the old Talbert farm.
These gentlemen were successful on
their mission, fact upon which The
Sentinel congratulates them. AS this
paper understands, this fund can be
used wholly for the purposes named
and the county is not required to du-
plicate the amount. The matter of
graveling this part of the Memphis
highway will be subject for future
but will not likely be
done for more than a year.

came Secretary. l am therefore not
in position to know what has trans
pired since that date. Indeed it would
be impossible to speak accurately as
to figures and balances even at that
date from memory unless had some
data to refresh my memory, but do
know in a general way about the rec
ords of the College and the policy
pursued while Mr.. Powell's predeces-
sor was Secretary.
The law requires biennial report
from all State institutions. These re-
ports are prepared by the institutions
and are published by the Secretary
of State for the benefit of the public.
1t is indeed a pity that our Governor
has not had the time to read and an
alyze the last biennial report of the
a. {: M. College. DR.. B. M. Walker,
vice-president of the A. & M. Col
lege, stated in his published communi-
cation of September Is, that, "The
biennial report submitted to the last
Legislature will show the departments
that were overdrawn at the time and
the amounts of overdrafts. The bien-
nial reports of previous legislatures
will do the same thing, if carefully
examined"
1t was the policy of the board of
trustees named at the same time l

the board to observe strictly every
legal requirement or regulation. AS
recall, we found three Of the insti-
tutions placed under the direction Of |
the board in debt / am quite sure that
the University and the A. & M. Col |
lege showed quite deal on the wrong |
side of the ledger. So earnest and |
so persistent were the trustees about
not allowing expenditures to exceed
and getting the Col
leges out of debt, that as Secretary
prepared a number of orders at the
of my fellow trustees which
we're adopted by the board, all OF
which tended to throw every possible
restraint on those who contracted OBJ
igations in the name Of the Colleges,
One of those orders was quoted by
Dr.. Walker, vice-president of the Col
ege, in his communication already re-
ferred to. / repeat it here: "It is
hereby ordered that the heads of the

Grenada, Miss, Jan. IL, 1922.

Grenada, Miss, Jan. IL, 1922.
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MISS.
ISSIPPI LEGISLATURE:
/ feel almost like apologizing fol
intruding upon your valuable time
in asking that you read something
relative to a matter about which
feel sure that most of you are already
fully informed. But in view of the
fact that Gov. Russell saw fit to de-
vote quite little time to me in his
message delivered to you January A,
] thought that my silence might be
misunderstood and that perhaps it
was a duty l owe you as well as my
self to make some public statement
relative to the issue the Governor
raised in September, 1920, and which
he rehearsed in his message already
referred to. / am therefore reprint
ing letter which l gave to the pub
lie press September 18, 1920, which
] think covers the matter in question.
Possibly many Of you recall that let
ter but may have forgotten it's speci-
fic contents and possibly, too, some
members of this body did not see it
at all. The letter was addressed ITO
the People of Mississippi" and reads
as follows:

l.. G. MAJET DIED
AT EICTHY-SIX

On the night of January 10th, Mr.
Lewis G. Majet died at his home il
Grenada after brief illness. TIL.
funeral services were held at his resi-
dence on the morning of January IL
10 o'clock, after which interment wa.
had in Odd Fellows cemetery.
Mr.. Majet was born in North Caro-
lima in 1885, being a son of Nicholas
and Sarah Walters Majet. His pa
rents removed to Mississippi the yeal
of his birth and settled ten miles cas-,
OF Grenada in what was then Yalo.
busha county. His father died in
1859 and his mother in 1872. One
OF the deceased's sisters, Elizabeth
became the wife of Capt. N. B. In.
gram and another sister, Caroline
became the wife of DR.. C S. Glover
both of which families have played
prominent parts in the his of
Grenada county.
The subject of this 81 1, be-
sides his other college trf 4 lg, was
a student just prior to tb 9 vii War
in the Frankfort, KY, n = Try insti-
tute. He enlisted for y .ce in the
18th % Mississippi iS1 reeim G . pHs He made d,:
a good soldier; dur1 he struggle
he was made a sart = It-major and
on every occasion an e erywhere dur
ing those days of y fe, he gave a
good account of himself.
After the war, he came back to
Grenada county and began anew
farming. In 1867 he made Miss
Louise Ingram his bride and to this
union were born two sons and three
daughters. His wife preceded him
to the grave more than a dozen years
ago, but he is survived by all his
children except one son.
For a number of years he made his
home in Leflore County few miles
southeast of Philip between the Tai
lahatchie and Yalobusha rivers where
he opened up one of the finest tracts
of land in the delta.
His creed was honest dealing and
even handed justice to all re"ardless
of station or color, which is pretty
good chart for any one and while
he never united with any branch Of
the Christian church, it is safe to as
sert that one who practiced the cardi-
nal virtues as stated in the Golden
Rule as he di and who lived in chari-
ty and good fellowship with his
neighbors, is among those who are
to occupy the Mansions of which the
Savior spoke when He went away.
Mr.. Majet was kind hearted. He was
clever and it was highly pleasing to
him to do any one a favor or cOur-
tesy. His consideration of the ne
groes who were about his premises
and on his farm bear abundant tes-
timony to his fair dealing and their
devotion: and fidetitg to HIM slscaax~
emplifies that that race is always sus-
eptible to kindness and that Mr.. Ma
jet believed in the practice of those
virtues which were among the covet-
ed characteristics of the old time
In thinking of his de-
mise, the sad reflection forces itself
upon all that the gray lines who went
out amid hurrahs and the plaudits
as well as the tears and anguish of
1861, will soon be no more, yet the
consoling thought comes that they
are to have a reunion on the other
shore which will be eternal and abid-
ing and where all the mysteries of
earth will be made plain.
To the stricken family and other
loved ones of this aged man, The
Sentinel tenders the sincerest sympa-

Because of poor rating. Miss Bur-
rell was recently denoted and trans
ferred from the o Street Vocational
School to the Lincoln Graded School.
She subsequently appealed to the
board to reconsider its action. which
resulted in the charge of inSubordina-

Attorney Cobb is now preparing a
brief for submission to the board.
which will cite that the action or the
board in the case in question was not
only unlawful. but was an injustice
TO Miss Burrell. He plans to submit
the brief to the school board Satur-
day. 1t is expected that the hearing
will be held Wednesday.
At it's meeting October IL the board
considered the Burrell case for two
hours behind closed doors. At that
time Supt. Frank w. Ballou and As
sistant Supt. Garnet Z. Wilkinson pre-
sented exhaustive reports on the case.
The protest of Attorney Cobb was
submitted to the board at its eXecu-
