"Vardaman'S Weekly"

The first number of "Varda.
mans Weekly" will come from
the press this week. Ex-senator
Vardaman has just closed a deal
with the Issue Publishing Co., at
Jackson, whereby he will take
over the plant, and with the last
issue of the paper, its publication
has been suspended. Senator
Vardaman will begin this week
the publication of a new weekly,
and everyone familiar with his
record as newspaper man must
admit that as a fOrCeful and in
cisive writer of vigorous English,
he has few equals and no supe-
riors among Mississippi editors.
His six years service in the
United States Senate have given
him an intimate touch with ma
tional affairs and a firm grasp of
questions that affect the entire
nation. This equipment pecul-
iarly fits him to fill the editorial
chair of such a paper as he con-
templates establishing. and in his
able hands it is bound to be a
factor in the affairs of the State
that will mean much to its proper
development.
Whether one agrees with Sen
ator Vardaman or not in all his
views on public questions. all
must admire his unquestioned
honesty and courage of cOnvic-
ton, and his Weekly is sure to
find popular response among
all who want to read a strong.
fearless paper. which will touch
many questions upon which PEG
pie want unbiased information.
The paper will be eight to six
teen pages, and will be $3.50 a
year. with one free yearly sub
scription for every club of six

State Council Of
K. of C.'s To
Be Held Here

Opelousas has been selected as the
place for holding the State Convention
of the knights of Columbus next May,
and the local Knights are alreday be-
/ ginning preparations for the event.
There are now thirty-odd Councils of
the Order in this State, and it is ex-
pected that the delegates and officers
in attendance at the Convention will
be close to one hundred Besides
these many members from over the
state will likely be present for the oc-
casion. and some ofs the members are
going to bring their wives and daugh-
ters, so that Opelousas will have a
large number of visitors next May
when the Convention takes place. The
session will likely last two days.
That Opelousas was elected as the
Convention City of this popular fra
ternity is due in large measure to the
activity of the Grand knight of the
local Council, Mr.. L. A. Andrepont,
VINO as one OF the delegates from 0pe-
lousas extended the invitation to the
Knights. He was able to convince
the newly-elected State Deputy, John
x. Wewmann, that here was the place
to hold the annual meeting, and that
official knowing something of Ope-
lousas hospitality finally decided to
have the Convention here next year.
We understand that prominent mem
bers of the Opelousas Chamber of
Commerce have given assurances to
the local members of the Order that
the organization as well as its indivi-
dual members would welcome the
Convention and do all in their power
to properly entertain the visitors, and
as the Knights know well the art of
entertainment it is safe to say that
a fine time is in store for all who at
tend. The men who will come here
are among the best in their respective
towns and we are sure they will ap-
preciate the courtesies which Opelou-
sas will bestow upon them.

Wool Alcohol
Causes Blindness

The first New Orleans case of
blindness causeed by the drinking
of wood alcohol as a substitute for
whiskey, since prohibition went in
to effect, was reported Monday to
DR.. Oscar DoWling, president Of
the Louisiana Beard Of Health.
DR.. Dowling was called into con-
suItation in the case by the at
tending physician. The name and
address fthe patient were with
held but the facts are vouched
for.
The victim told the physicians
he drank one-half ounce of wood
alcohol from lamp about
week ago. He became uncon-
scious, and when he awoke he
was totally blind in one eye and
had only faint sight in the 9TH
er. DR.. Bowling is an eye expert
and he was called to help restore
the sight of the victim.
Il mention the case" said DR..
Bowling, "as a warning to all
other persons who may seek sub
stitutes for whiskey. 1t is a
dangerous matter to experiment
with fluids resembling former al
coholic stimulants or supposed to
contain alcoholic properties.
Many of these fluids viii prove
poisonous, as in the case of wood
alcohol, where blindness is likely
to be one of the effects OF large
dose"

BY Measure

Washington, July 22.-By vote OF
nearly three to one, the House, weary
of talk on prohibition, passed a bill
for its enforcement with provisions
and penalties SO drastic as to bring
from the men who framed it the pre-.
diction that it would forever suppress
the liquor traffice on American soil
Exactly one hundred-fifty-two Dem
ocrats and forty eight Republican,
refused to support it. Against this
even hundred the prohibitionists, put
ting up solid front to the very last
polIed 287 votes
A broard smile spread over the faces
of the prohibition leaders, for their
work in the house was ended and
the measure was ready for the senate,
where many of its restrictions may be
modified or stricken out. The cloak
room rumor persisted that all of the
legislative efforts might end on the
shoaI of a presidential veto, although
the general view was that it would
be signed as passed.
Before the house put the bill on its
passage a feeble hand was reached
forth to strike it down and put in it's
place briefer and more liberal meas
ure This took the form of three
paragraph bill by Representative Igoe,
Democrat, of Missouri, introduced
some days ago and offered in the form
&C a motion to recommit, which
meant its substitution for the general
enforcement measure if the house saw
fit. But the house did not. Mr.. Igoe's
motion was defeated, 255 to 1856, and
this vote, analyzed, meant that at least
thirty-six members who favored a
more liberal bill took the more drastic
one later when there was no other
choice There were no unexpected
reversals in the individual vote. Rep
=resentative Hustled, Republican, of
New York, who voted as a. member
Of the judiciary committee to report
out the bill, was recorded against it,
while Representative CIasson, Repubi-
can. of Wisconsin, who signed the
minority report, was recorded for it.
Representative Pou, Democrat OF
North Carolina. an ardent prohibit
zionist, voted against the bill after
having pointed out that law SO sew
ere as not to permit farmers wife
to make a bottle of blackberry wine
