The above is q good likeness of
Marshall County's candidate for
Congress. JUDGE Mahon is now busy
making canvass of this congressional
district and reports coming in are
fiattering and encouraging as to the
impression he is making, not only in
this county, which should and will go
solid for him, but with the neighbor-
ing counties which appreciate his
sterling qualities as a citizen, man
and progressive statesman. 1t is also
appreciated by the district at large
that Marshall County has not sent a
man to Congress for nearly half
century. In about 1874 Manning.
Marshall County man, made the race
and won out. Since then we have had
Morgan from Desoto. Kyle from Pa
nola, Sullivan from Lafayette, Spight
from Tippah and Stephens from
Union. 1t is now high time that
Marshall County should send ore of
her sons. In Judge Mahon the dis
trict has one who would be a credit
and who has the intelligence and the
force o. character to make himself
felt in national affairs. In the period
OF life between youth and middle age
he has the best years ahead to work
out the questions which vitally con-
Germs his constituents. The papers
throughout the district and through
out the State are making favorable
comments on his race and it is felt
that it will take strong man indeed
to come out ahead of Judge Mahon.

FRIEDMAN REVIEW CASE.
Would Show { Profiteering Charge
Premi62s Are False.

In The Commercial Appeal Of June
3 there appeared 3 news item from
Columbus, Miss reporting the indict-
nRnt Of II. and j. Friedman of Ok
fold, Miss, dry goods merchants, for
profteering in shoes. In Justice to the
Friedmans. Who of course, were not
permitted to present their state
ment to the grand jury and who have
received much Managing notoriety
from the indictment. the following
facts are submitted in the case, which
are supported BY sworn affidavits by
some of the best people in Oxford, in
cluding a preacher, physician, a law
yer and farmer and a well known
eastern shoe manufacturer.
About April is an agent of the fair
price commissitA procured from the
Friedmans two invoices Of Crossell
shoes. one datad August 13, 1919,
proving the wholesale price of these
shoes to have been on that day $3.50
per pair, the other invoice of later
date proving the price of these shoes
to have advanced several dollars per
pair.
In establishing the wholesale price
Of these shoes to the grand jury the
invoice OF August 13, 1919, was pre-
sented and the charge of profiteeilng
based on the sale OF pair of that
make Of shoes for $3.50 about six
months later, the exact date being
February IL, 1920. The affidavit OF
the factory shown proves that the
wholesale price of these shoes was on
and after August %, 1919, SLIPS per
pair up to May %, 1920, the date Of
the affidavit above referred to.
The other affidavits of citizens Of
Oxford who bought Crossett shoes
from the Friedmans proves that the
Friedmans sold these Crossett shoes
the entire fall season and as late as
December 16. 1919, at $11 per pain,
including war tax, which was less than
the prevailing wholesale price, as
shown by the affidavit of the factory.
It was some time after January, 1920,
when the early purchases were about
sold out and new purchases made that
the Friedmans advanced the price of
.Crossett shoes to $3.50.
This statement Of facts is submit
ted in justice to the Friedmans, who
are considered among the best and
most patriotic citizens of Oxford.

The praises of Mr.. and Mrs. Tartt
by the old soldiers is audible evidence
that they are the proper people to
superintend the Soldiers Home. This
is one of the greatest institu-
tions of our state, and yet, its pro-
gress is being challenged by one E.
F. Noel, who seeks to retard educa-
ton in Mississippi as well IS care
for the poor old Confederate Veterans
whose days are but few. Mr.. Noel
opposes the bond issue for the pur-
pose of properly caring for our old
Veterans and the tuberculosis hospi-
tai as well as enlarging our educa-
tional institutions. Mr.. Noel is not
meeting with very much success in
his efforts to retard the progress of
education and care for our Con-
federate soldiers, and he is so blind
that he cannot see why our people
should not fall to his political scheme
to hinder education. Poor fellow, we
feel sorry for any person who has
who has reached the case-hardened
point where they disrepect our old
soldiers and refuse to assist in car
ing for the dying tuberculosis pa
tients of our state. We pity the man
who fights the state educational in
stitutions as a part of his political
program.

RESOLUTION.

Whereas in the past Southern
schools have been forced to accept
text books-histories that are unjust
and unfair to the South and her peo-
pie.
And whereas we recognize in the
Truths of History" as given to us
by that splendid Southern woman,
Mrs. Mildred Lewis Rutherford of
Athens, Georgia, in her laudable eff
fort to correct these evils and secure
the adoption Of such histories as shall
be fair to the South and her people,
relating to the war between the
states embracing events occurring at
that time before and since that period.
Therefore be it resolved by the
Mississippi Division United Con-
federate Veterans in convention as
sembled at their annual reunion at
Oxford. Miss, we most heartily COM
mend the Truths of History" as
published by this patriotic southern
woman and We send message of love
and devotion for the noble and laud-
able purpose as set forth in the Truths
of History.

The delegation from the Soldiers
Home greatly enjoyed their trip to
Oxford. Every automobile in the city
was placed at their disposal and they
have wanted for nothing.
At the County Court House this
morning the delegates to the reunion
mingled with old comrades. some OF
whom were in the same Company dur
ing the Civil War, some of them had
not seen each others since Lee sur
rendered at Appomattox. Their meet
ing was very pathetic. All the fore
noon the veterans rested under the
shades of the oak trees at the Court
House Square, where they sang old
war time songs and talked of the
days Of sixty-one. They had nothing
to say about state OF national poll
tics with the exception Of the move
ment on foot seeking to invoke a
referendum election to defeat
act Of the last legislature proposing
to issue less than five million dollars
in bonds for repairs and for buildings
to meet the present day demand for
the State Institutions.
The Beauvoir crowd is very much
opposed TO the referendum as the Sol
diers Home is affected by it. The
bill proposing to repair the Soldiers
Home place of comfort is tied up
with the proposed bond issue and the
old veterans are greatly disturbed
over the movement OF the referendum.
They are begging their friends not to
sign the petitions being circulated by
the referendum people.
To make matters lively at the Court
House this morning Col hampton,
Col. McGrath and Captain Moreton
inaugurated contest to give the best
looking man from the Soldiers Home
cash prize of $500. This was award
ed to Rev. Abner Walker. A prize
of $500 was awarded to the best look
ing veteran over ft. and 8 inches
tall. This was won by DIR. Young. A
prize of $500 was awarded to Judge
R. H. Parker of the Soldiers Home,
for being the best looking man under
S It. 8 inches tall. "Uncle Pat" Nc

ceived from the hands Of Superin-
tendent Tartt and his good wife. Mrs.
Tartt is grealy loved by all the in
mates. One of the old men at the
Home yesterday who could not come

Mrs. Tartt good bye. They keep Mrs
Tartt supplied with little presents as
a token = their friendship. some of
them buy toys and give her.

him to be very careful in guarding
the health Of the good people and their
physical endurance is very limited.
