The masses of our people are pay
ing little attention now to the moon
sinners, but the day is not far dis
tant when the masses will have to
take notice of these people aud the
sooner the better for this country, if
we are any Judge Of what is fast
coming. The harder the times the
bolder the moonshiner, and the more
hellish is his work. Better take no
tice, good people. and back your of

called upon.

Suggests Assessments Increases May
Have Been Padded In Some Counties.

Coast Beacon.
Despite the depressed conditions
in many sections OF Mississippl. ow-
ling to the low price OF cotton, there
comes many reports from the coun-
ties in that section to the effect that
the assessment rolls Tor 1921 have
been boosted TO show marked in
crease in values oyer the past few
years. Such an increase under nor-
NAL conditions would be a most heal
thy sign, but we seriously wonder
|if in not few instances these in
|creases have been made more to
boost up the salaries of county Of
ficials, than showing an actual in
crease in the values of properties.
Under the law of today the fixing
the salaries of county officials is rat
ed on the assessed valuation Of the
county, the larger the assessment
the larger the salaries. We would
hail with much genuine pleasure a
bona-fide increase 10 our States
valuations, but we do not want to
see the assessment rolls padded so
that county officials might draw the
maximum pay. The tax payers have
here matter of much concern to
look into.

Why is it that men will violate the
law when it is just as easy to live
and obey the law. Men who will
violate the law are lawless, and
sooner or later prison doors will open
for their peoention. One man said
to us that he would live just like he
did If there was no law, as he never
knowingly violated one. That man s
heart is in the right place aud the
doors OF no prison will ever open to
take him in,

The Road travelling In Beat 8.

The travelling on the main Rich
ton & Leakesville road, has been
completed in beat three from the
Perry County line to new Ayera.
We understand that there is q move
on to have it graveled is feet wide
through the town of Avera and its
thought that there will be money
enough to do this and then come on
Go the district line with the regular
eight foot gravel width has been the
order so far. This writer had the
pleasure recently OF rolling over
that gravelled road IN beat 3 and
we found it good. liz fact we cant
recall having ridden over q gravel
road anywhere over the country that
makes less impression on the eve as
to being gravelieG but yet saves the
bumps and Jars to the car add gives
that comfy feeling OF riding which
so distinguishes hard surfaced road
from the other kind. We guess this
lack of showiness is due to the clay
aud mixture which comes in the par
tieular kind OF gravel they are using
and causes the pebbles TO sink down
and lay close and well packed giving
a smooth riding effect but not so
much display Of the little white
stones, which, is well and good, as
the desired effect is gotten all right.

 Fortunately, there is a fair chance tha. the Irish war may be settled. The general opinion of the Irish people themselves, when I was in Ire land, was that a settlement may be reached some time in October and upon terms considerably more favor able to Ireland than those which the British government has offered.
 '~The facts about Ireland do not come to America in full, nor at all, except in a partial, obscure and dis torted fashion. Conditions in Ire land have been much worse than taa Irish war in a much more tremendous and world stirring affair than Amero- cans have believed
 Ut is not simply case in which power and Ireland little such power. The Irish influence is everywhere. Many of the leading people of Eng land are Irish. Some of the best blood in England is Irish in origin | and sympathy. In Australia 22 per | cent. of the vote is Irish The Irish are strong in New Zealand and Can ada. They are in the India service. When meetings occur of the pre- miers of the Dominions the British government is told that the Irish question must be settled. Neither at home nor abroad has Britain a single mind to settle this question in the British way. It is always a double mind. partly an Irish mind. that every. measure that it takes for the | closure of the Irish problem.

HOW TO GAN
 STRING BEANS

There is still an abundant supply of string beanS-both the green and the wax-being brought into the caty daily by the market gardeners from the nearby towns, according to Bridgeport agent of the marketing bureau of the State Board of Agri- culture These beans are the quick growing fall varieties and because or having grown so rapidly are very crisp and tender.
 They are ideal for canning pur- poses and can be canned by the fol- lowing rule by the use of very little time-and the rule is easily followed and sure in it's results: It is the One Period CoId-pack method. Wash and remove the ends and strings and cut into small pieces if desired. Blanch in boiling water from to 10 minutes, depending on the age. Beans which have been properly blanched will bend readily without breaking As soon as blanched plunge once or twice into cold water. Pack immediately into jars, add one tea spoon of salt and cover with boiling water. Put on rubbers and adjust the bali or screw on top with the thumb and little finger. Sterilize in boiling water for two hours. Re move jars, complete the seal of the tops and cool.
