was opened by prayer by the Christian

appropriate. In his petition lie called
upon the Lord of Lords and God Of
Gods to teach the people the purposes
of Governments in its principles and
its objects, which WAS grand and sub

was composed of mostly women and

to investigate as to our claim to frac-

be school lands. The board ordered
the land surveyed and it was found to
be in possession of parties claiming it
under a quit claim deed of 40 or so
years standing.
By direction of the Board l COM
menced correspondence with Col.
Hooker to have the titleto these lands
investigated He turned my letters
over to the Land Commissioners at
Washington City, who made u thor
ough investigation from the year 1916,
with maps aud diagrams of the origi-
nal survey and the survey of 1929
and 1880 aud aseertained that the
Government had never parted with
its title to the 208 acres of land. Sec

declaration that he would vote for the

he must go farther and would vote for

back had been an outspoken antipro-

DIR. John A. Brown, of this city, told
me today that he would vote for Prohi-
bition. The Doctor is great admirer
of Gen. Weaver and Is in accord with
the Peoples party platform, but thinks
the most important question was left
out, and that is Prohibition, because
it more Immediately affects the hap
piness and well-being and well-doing

Editor Mississippi Leader:
/ am winding up my business that

work for Christ and to fight the liquor
traffic and its kindred evils. The

mighty and every true man arraign
the church in this country as being
largely responsible for this deplorable,
degenerate condition. Il faith had
not spread her gentle wings and left
the pulpits and in her stead, upon her
sacred perch that hideous, foul vulture
policy taken her place, things would
have been different. Many n soul to-
day in hell and the gutter and the
penitentiary would not have been
there. The virtue Of many a fair wo-
man had not been slain. If the pulpit
had been doing its duty things would
have been different.
Never since Martin Luther's day has
the church sunk to so deep degrada-
ton as today. Never since that time
have her skirts been so bedraggled in
filth and slime and s.vomit as now.
The difference between Martin
Luther's day and now is they sold in
dulgences to damnatiOn then and now
they give them away. That's the
only difference. When n handful of
dirty, debauche5, gambling Demo-
cratic or Republican politicians can
exercise more influence over the nior-
ais of Il comnunitt, STATE or nation
