A CORRECTION THAT SHOULD CORRECT

Editor Herald When you cor
rected an error in your paper several
months past made by you in regard
to my name being connected with
disreputable case that was an issue
in our last term of Circuit Court. the
writer felt Satisfied and believed you
bad done all that could be done,
knowing that every person that saw
the error in your paper had and
would read the correction. Now ii
happens that one or two parties from
this immediate community have will
fully and maliciously injected a lie
into your correction or statement in
your paper by telling people publicly
that your correction was false and
the writer had gone TO Leakesville
and bribed or paid Mr. JAS. Faux,
the Editor of the Herald to change
the first report and make the charge
against viii Platt instead of myself,
Kila Platt.
This letter has been written for no
other purpose and asked to be pub
lished, than to yindicate myself AL
so ye editor and to warn the public
against believing the lies referred to
above; and also to give hint that
all slanderous lies are crimes and
quite often cost some one money
whc1 taken properly before the
courts of our County.
Respectfully,

With reference to the County At
torney law; we believe Il should be
repealed or so amended as to leave it
to county autonomy in each county
as to whe Oher that Office will be re-
tanned or not. That is local option,
but on an econ omic question and not
a moral question as IN case of the
liquor prohibition law. which is quite
a different thing. This is said with
no intent of criticsin@ our present
County Attorney, Mr.. ]. w. Back
strom, who is Offering for reelection,
as it will not effect him or the term
for which he will be returned, as
brought out more fully in another
editorial,

EDITORIAL

This paper can not lend its appro-
val to the agitation now current
looking towards securing the whole
sale adjustment either of the Office
ofDistrict Attorney or that of Coun-
tyAtty.Some counties want and need
the County Attorney account OF
Large populations and heavy amount
ofcrime, while others don t want nor
seemsto need it if the District At
torney's Office is to be preserved.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1911-05-05

AS we understand the question of
abolishing offices the Office OF coun-
ty attorney could not be abolished to
take place until after the term of the
men elected to it had been filed.
They will be elected this year in ev-
cry county in the state for four year
terms, SO if the next legislature
should see fit to abolish the Office o.
yer the state as whole, it could not
be effective till the year 1916.

In this "Piney woods kuntry," so
many people can be found who are
, obliged to resort to eyeglasses at an
early age, on account of having read
or studied by the light from ''litud-
knot fire, which is one of the most
destructive lights that can be used
to the eyesight, as the wavering
glimmer and uncertain heat it gives
off is trying both to the optic nerve
and the tissue that goes to form that
delicate organism of the human body.
The heat dries up the fluids which in
their preserving it's correct shape de-
ponds correct vision.

The drying up process flattens the
ball OF the eye and makes the use of
glasses imperative to secure the TO-
Gus of vision. You know you can
take wet hide and dry it by the fire
until it will shrivel, same with the
liquid formation of the eye-ball. Ev-
cry family owes it to itself to have
at least one good table-lamp, as the
price of oil or even houses are not to
compare with the precious eyesight
of even one member of the household
Children particularly should be given
a fair chance in preserving these
windows of their souls, which aid
them to get acquainted in strange

thrust. We would recommend the

Since the franchise laws of the
state were put into force in Greene
County they have met pretty well
with general approval and no sub
stantial portion of our people would
for an instant consider returning to
the demoralizing conditions anteda-
ting such inauguration. To that
policy we are COMMITTEE today and
we would not align ourselves with
any movement to bring the illiterate
and poll tax paying defaulter into vo-
tive privileges, but we can see that
the present administration and it's
cohorts over the state are straininp
the law in order to dlsqualify a large
body of the country voters under the
belief that this will cut down Varda.
mans strength considerably. We
predict their efforts will not succeed
and yet that the law will be avcrae
edly enforced this wear.
