1t is my opinion that the Weak.

upon the statute books Of Missis-

icating liquors have decreased 30
per cent in my district. the Fifth

from the public generally that
there Is less drunkenness than ever
before in the seven counties that
compose this Fifth district. With

The Present liquor law is very
effective. At the September term
Of Court in Holmes County, the
only indictment for retailing liq-
uor was for offense prior to the
time the law went into effect. At
the present term of Court in Sun
flower County, not an Indictment
was returned for retailing, which
never happened here before. ]

maintain it.

SUBSCRIBERS ROLL.

The reader will notice that spe-
cial Election has been called to elect
a new State Senator. Greene coun-
ty is one of three, namely: Greene,
George ana Jackson. that goes under
the new constitutional amendment
apportionment to make up a new
senatorial district and we have to
elect senator if we have one in the
neyt term of the legislature. Posi-
bly, Governor Blbo is determined to
get the Legislature in session this
year is the reason he has issued such
writ of election at this time. The
senator from the coast district lives
in Jackson county, Sc its likely he
will offer for the place as it will be
virtually succession or securing a
new the job to which he was elected
at least by a portion Of the territory
involved.

OtdTkVlllc, MISS.
The grand jury for Oktibbehs
at the October term in their final
report said: "Our observation has
been that most crimes are caused
in whole or in part by Intoxicating
liquors, but in this county at this
term We find no crimes traceable
to liquors, and as a result we have
found for all crimes only ten bills,
the smallest number for this Court
in rs years, We think the new
liquor law prohibiting shipment
OF more than one quart il chiefly
responsible for the absence Of
crime. We think the law has
eliminated the blind tiger. We
hope the one quart law will be sus-
tanned by the people because Of
its fine effect in suppressing crime
and lessening Court expenses. I,
AS judge, ! heartily endorse the
above as applied to my entire dis
trict.

Judges Strongly Endorse
w Prohibition Law.

The Citizens Prohibition Move
ment requested the Circuit Judges
of the State to give their opinion
as to the effectiveness of these
two prohibition laws. Replies have
already been received from nearly
all of the judges. These tele-
grams appear below, and clearly
prove that prohibition does pro-
hibit and that the two laws are
very effective:
Lucedale, Miss.
If the liquor laws enacted by
the last legislature are enforced,
they will drive the bootleggers
and blind tigers out of the State.

are effective in my district, ex-
cept in the immediate vicinity of

E. L. BRIEN, Judge.
Yazoo City, Miss.
Liquor laws 1915 have greatly
reduced consumption of intoxi-
cants and made detection of sales
in the State easier, and is doing
much to suppress unlawful sales.
w. H. POTTER, Judge.
Shubuta, Miss.
New liquor Law has greatly re-
duced number of blind tiger cases.
Except in one county, ! have not
had an indictment ia my district
for selling liquor since new law
became effective.

Judge.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-01-26
Mccomb, Miss.


The prohibition laws enacted at
last session of Legislature are the
most wholesome legislation since
the Civil War. They are suppress
ing the blind tigers, bootleggers
and all kinds of crime in my dis
tPict Under this law, with rea-
sonable enforcement, blind tigers
will either have to quit business
or move to more congenial climes.

e5rtation Of liquor into this State
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-01-26

The prohibition laws are by far
the best and most effective ever
enacted in the State. Since one
quart law became operative, crime
In my district has been minimized
and ! have repeatedly announced
to the public from the bench that
aside from the moral improvement
the law would practically save in
Court expenses the amount of the
lawmakers salaries before the
next session.
A. E. WEATHERSBY,
Judge.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-01-26

is the most effective prohibition
statute ever passed by our legis-
iature. Blind tigers and bootleg
gers are almost entirely suppress
ed under this law, and every Mis-
slssippian should go to the polls
on 7th of November and vote to
sustain the present splendid laws.
