A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need OF a
remedy for kidney troubles and back

recommended by grateful people.

OKOLONA MISS. NOV q 1917
Sisson Condemned

Resolution adopted at a Mass
Meeting of the citizens at the
court house on Nov. FL, 1917.
Whereas the Commercial APP
peal of Sunday, the 18th inst,
published an item from Okolona
under the heading "Sisson at
Okolona", stating that Mr.. Sis
son spoke to "a large and APP
preciate audience" Thursday
night, ETC., and
Whereas, we desire to correct
any impression that might be
conveyed by said article that the
prtriotic and loyal citizenship OF
Okolona approved of the senti-
ments expressed by Mr.. Sisson,
we take this method of putting
ourselves on record.
We disapprove and condemn
the labored effort of Mr.. Sisson
to undermine the confidence that
we repose in the President OF
the United States, by going back
to the Farm Loan Bank Bill, and
arguing that the President made
mistakes in advocating certain
sections of that bill, and there
fore there was no duty imposed
upon any representative Of tbs
people to support the Commander
in Chief, even in time of war.
We condemn his Oft repeated
expression 1T makes me tired
for people to be telling me to
stand by the President"
We condemn his disloyal and
seditious criticism of the Selec-
tive Service Law, and his effort
to justify his vote against the
final passage of the Military Bill,
because Of the Kahn amendment,
even with the Country at war.
And, more especially, do we
condemn his encouragement of
opposition and resistance to the
selective draft, by contending
that said law is unconstitutional;
that the United States Govern
ment has no right to send draft
ed or selected men to, France to
fight, and arguing that, in SO
doing. the Government is dopriv-
ing its citizens of their natural
and unalienable rights.
We condemn his attributing
unworthy and selfish motives to
the General Staff of our Army
and Navy in their conduct of the
war.
And, whereas, the elected
representative Of this congress
sional district has come in our
midst, under the guise OF
answering the call of the Presi-
dent to inform the people as tc
the cause of the war, and has
taken advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to give utterance to senti-
ments and expressions that, in

loyal, seditious and subversive of
every sentiment of patriotism,
and insulting to all true patriots;
| therefore
Be it resolved by the people of
Okolona, in Mass Meeting as
sembled, that we denounce and
condemn the above mentioned
sentiments expressed by our
representative in Congress, and
declare Mr.. Sisson wholly unfit
to represent the loyal citizenship
of this congressional district in
the National Congress.
We hereby express anew our
confidence in Woodrow Wilson,
the greatest man who has ever
occupied the presidential chair,
and pledge to our brave boys
who have willingly offered their
all to their government, our con-
tinued and wholehearted devo-
ton and support, and
We condemn any word,
thought or deed that tends to
discourage those selected to re-
inforce them, or discredit the
righteous and just cause for
which they are fighting.

ALIEN ENEMIES CAN
NOT SUE AMERICANS

Alien enemies of the United States
have no right to sue American citizens
in American courts during the period
of the war, according to a decision
handed down by Judge Emory Speer
ol the United States district court, sit
ting at Macon. The Plettenbury Hol-
thans Company filed suit against /
]. Kalmon and E. c. Parker, of Amer
icus. The defendants demurred to the
suit on the ground that the plaintiff
company was owned by Germans, ana
was without right to sue in the United
States courts. Judge Speer sustained
the demurrers. The rights of the plain
tiff company, however, are preserved
and the suit may be brought at the ter
mination of the war.

COUNCIL DEFERS
ACTION On PLAN
|0F COMBINATION

On account of the fact that two mem
bers of the board were absent from
tie meeting of the city council last
night, the proposal to combine the
county and city health departments
vas shelved until the next regular ses-
sio nof the city fathers. Aldermen
Kalmon and Mize were not in their
seats and it was decided to put the
matter over until a full membership
of the council is present.
DR.. D. B. Mayes, chairman of the city
board of health, and also city physi-
clan. appeared before the council with
DR.. w. B. McWhorter, county health
commissioner, to urge the conabina-
ton. DR.. Mayes presented resolutions
passed by the board of health recon-
mending the proposed merging of the
two departments, and both gentlemen
explained the situation in detail.
Alderman Poole, however, uggested
that the matter be deferred until the
entire council was present, anG his mo-
ton prevailed without opposition.
Alderman Bell, chairman of the
street committee, reported that the paw
ing operations on Taylor street have
been seriously handicapped by the lack
of gravel, although the other materials
are on hand in sufficient quantity to
finish the work. The shortage of cars
in which to haul the gravel from the
pits in Alabama is assigned by the rail-
road as the cause of the delay. Steps
will be takeE Immediately to secure the
necessary cars so that the gravel may
be available for the continuance of the
paving work here.
Mr.. Bell also stated that the dirt
surfaced streets of the city have been
considerably damaged as the result OF
the terrific storm of last Friday, and
much patching must be done in various
sections of the city to make the thor
Cughfares passable without difficulty.
Alderman Horton reported that the
work of repairing and overhauling the
vault in the office of the city clerk and
treasurer is proceeding satisfactorily
aid that within few days will have
been completed.

FRESNOY AGAIN
IN THE HANDS Of
CANADIANS

NEW YORK, May 9.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-With massed
reserves, the Germans are striving to
halt continued British assaults on the
Drocourt-Queantl line, the last barrier
protecting the Lens coal regions, to-
day.
Germans during yesterday recaptur-
ed Fresnoy from the Canadians, but,
London announced, the lost ground in
the vicinity of Fresnoy was regained
last night.
Paris reports say the French dur
ing last night captured German first
line trenches over a front of three
quarters of mile northeast of Chev-
deux, near Craonne
In announcing the capture of Fres-
noy yesterday, Berlin indicated that
british troops were closer to the SOU
thern end of the Drocourt-Queantl line
than London had claimed Berlin re-
ported heavy fighting yesterday near
Reincourt, a mile and half from
Queant.
Fighting is constantly developing on
the Macedonian (Balkan) front, and
indications are that the Entente Allies
may be beginning new offensive in
that region.
