The vidette. (Iuka, Tishomingo County, Miss.) 1912-1967, 1917-08-23
JUDGE w. M. COX
Delivers a Strong, Able and Flo
quent Address to a Vast Au-
dience in Iuka.

Last Thursday was a glorious
day for Iuka and Tishomingo |
county, perhaps TIE grandest in its
history, not only on account of the
great religious awakening then be-
ing realized, and the unprecedent-
ed revival being conducted under
the tent in the park, but it was
on that afternoon that Judge w.
M. Cox, of Baldwin, Miss, de-
livered wonderful address on the
present fearful war, the events
and causes that led up to it and
the reasons why the United States
became involved in same, showing
most clearly and conyincingly the
justice, yea the absolute duty and
necessity of our entering the arena.
In short but eloquently worded.
gracefully delivered speech, our
townsman. Hon. J. A. e. Pyle,
introduced Judge Cox, paying a
glowing but well deserved tribute
to his character as man, lawyer,
jurist and Christian gentleman.
The large tent was filled to its
utmost capacity and no speaker
ever addressed a more interested
or attentive audience, his every
word falling upon eager, apprecia-
tive ears and touching respon-
sive chord in every heart. There
may have been those present who
before hearing him were prone to
believe that our nation was wrong
in entering this struggle and that
neutrality and peace should have
been maintained, but they certain
ly left satisfied that we were only
doing our duty, the only thing we
could do as free, liberty-loving
people, and that the proYocation
was amply sufficient for us to have
taken the position we have now
assumed long ago.
Judge Cox addressed himself to
the men present who had been
drafted for army service. He spoke
most encouragingly to them, bid
them remember that they were
Southerners, that their ancestors
were the men who had fought at
Bunker Hill, Yorktown and in
other famous battles of the revo-
ution, the men who had achieved
the liberties which for more than
a century had been ours to enjoy,
and that they were going forth to
fight ruthless, grasping nation
whose aim was to conquer the
world and have it cringing at her
feet-they were going to battle for
a perpetuation of the democracy,
the liberty for which their grand
sires had barred their breasts to
shot and she'll and won by their
valor and intrepidity. He said he
hoped the first American soldiers
that faced the base German hordes
would be we'll disciplined, sturdy
veterans, that when the moment
for attack comes, Dixie, that grand
tune which stirs every Southern
heart, would be played, that they
would go forward with the old
Rebel Yell'' and sweep every
thing before them.
The speaker paid glowing
tribute to our noble and wise Pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson, He be-

Of war was taken BY the American ex.
peditionary forces died In an Ameri-
can field hospital. having been shot
when he encountered an American %,
troll In No Mans Land In front Of the
American trenches. He with another
German was discovered Saturday
night by the patrol and was called
upon to halt. The Germans ran, the
patrol fired. and one Of the enemy was
hit. The prisoner was removed to q
field hospital. where the combined ef.
forts OF several surgeons failed to
save his life.
The prisoner was mail carrier. and
letters Of some value were found ON
him. He explained his presence near
the American trenches by saying he
had lost his way in the dark.
He declared that the German sol.
diers did not know that Americans
were on the front or IN France, the
officers telling them nothing.
London.-The allies are cheered By
the confidence in the Franco-B British
armies on the western front. Try as
they may, the Germans cannot break
that wall of steel. The heavy artil
lery battle Ii unabated in Flanders
and in sections Of the Aisne front and

A special election was held on Tues
day on proposition to divide Chester
township into two townships. The
project was not popular, as the vote
was about two to one against il. Those
favoring division were quite active in
soliciting, while those opposed were
indifferent about getting out the voters.
The result, therefore, proves that the
people, at present, at least, are salts
fed with the township as itnow exists.
The total vote was 318 for to COL
against. The five election districts
voted for and against as follows: 1st,

Insists on Holiday.

Governor Edge expects banking
houses and other business places to OBJ
serve June 5, Military Registration
Day, as a holiday, Notwithstanding the
opinion of the Attorney Generals De-
partment that there is nothing in the
Executives proclamation to bring it in
the meaningof the Holiday Act of 1895,
which provides for observing certain
days for recreation purposes.
II am not conducting the admins
tration, so far as its relations to the
Federal Government in war matters are
concerned, on technicalities, he as.
serted. ut is the spirit, not possible
legal interpretations, that interest all
of us. June will be observed as a
legal holiday in New Jersey, and am
quite sure no one will seriously ques-
ton the edict.
Under Chapter 126 of the Laws of 1917,
the Governor holds, he is clearly given
the power, if in the interest of public
defense, to name legal holiday or to
do practically anything else that could
be SO interpreted. In his view this
supercedes the act of 1895, and all
others relating to this question. The
action of the Court of Errors and APP
peals in deciding not to hold a session
of court June because Of the legal
holiday is taken as a substantiation OF
his declaration by the Governor. The
announcement that the court session
would be deferred was made through
| Chancellor Walker.
After inquiry had been made by
bank solicitors the Attorney General:
Department asserted that banking
paper was to be honored that day.
The 1917 act gives the executive
practically plenary powers to cooperate
with the Federal authorities, and b,
asserts it is certainly in the interest o
the public defense to have everyon'

that men may be encouraged to enroll

promptly, and that the benefit was not
