A little more than q month and
one of the most drastic liquor
laws ever in effect in the United
States will begin to be enforced
in Mississippi, says a Jackson
dispatch.
Not only does this law make it
unlawful for persons or commen
carriers, in any manner whatso-
ever, to ship or import any intox-
icating liquor in any quantity in
to the state, but it makes it un-
lawful for any person to possess
any poretables in any quantity.
No property rights of any kind
exist in intoxicating liquors, &C.
cording to the law "or in any fix
lures, furniture. or vehicles, con-
veyances, boats or vessels, kept
or used for violating any law of
the state OF of the United States. y
This section was designed to
stop the importation Of liquors in
to Mississippi by automobiles and
boats, and officers Of the law are
empowered to seize any convey
ances used in the traffic, which
will be sold after they have been
condemned by due legal process.
Violations of any provision of
the law is punishable by a fine of
not less than $l0O nor more than
$500 or by imprisonment of not
more than thirty days or by both.
Exceptions are made in the
cases of ministers who keep wine
for sacramental purposes. and ol
physicians, dentists. druggists,
medical and pharmaceutical col
leges and hospitals, whose bust.
ness requires grain alcohol. Wine
may be made at home and used
there, but must not be allowed tc
stray away from there.
Senator Wilmington of Leflore
was the author Of the bill, which
goes into effect May 26.

Editor The Beacon:
I had the great pleasure o1
speaking to the white and col.

day afternoon. Brother Broyles
was also there and led off in one
on the finest speeches l have
heard on the war. | have heard
all of the big speakers who have
been sent to Jackson by the Gov
ernment to speak to the people
and get them enthused on this
war business and make them
realize what a job we have ahead
of us. and that each and every
one must feel that they have a
part in this work, and I verify
believe that Mr.. Broyles can do
this as we'll as any of them, for
he has studied this question, is
we'll posted and can give an in
telligent reason to show why it is
necessary for each and every one
to do his "bit." He is posted on
the geography over there, and
when he finished telling what the
Germans had gained by the Rus
sian surrender, it made me al
most sick myself. While perhaps
he does not indulge in as many
flights of oratory as the famous
Major Morris does, | am sure his
speeches are just as effective, and
he ought to be sent over the
state to arouse the people to do
their duty. / was glad indeed |
was there and heard him.

white and colored, seem to be do.

children were taking Thrift

old Cooksville will "go over the

we will get results from this
meeting.

MAC" SM0CK
EhL|STS IN army
Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. II. =. SmOck
Though Under Age, Enlists Us
Driver.

Mccullough Smock, better known as
"Mac," went to Fort Dodge Saturday
to enlist in the aviation department OF
the United States army, trying for a
place as an automobile driver. Mac
tried to get into the navy few
months ago, but could not make it,
because of being under size and
weight. This time, however, he passed
one examination. He has to make
another trip though before things are
settled. Aside from being under size
and under weight, Mac is under age.
The papers, therefore, must be signed
by his father, r. p. Smock. The patrio-
tism of this family, however, is un-
questioned and the father of this
young aspirant for army life will not
interfere. He expects to sign the pa
pers and let the youngster go to help
Uncle Sam.
Harold Smock, the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs Smock, also aspired to army
life. He enlisted at the Fort Dodge
recruiting office week or so ago and
was examined for several different de-
partments. Broken arches, however,
prevented him from entering the serv-
ice
