Ihe Herald Has been Doing This Fol-
Years.

Hattiesburg Citizen.
Some OF the generous papers OF
the state have started movement
asking the pagers IN the state 10
mail free of charge copy OF the pa
per to the Old Soldiers Home at
Beauvoir. Tue Citizen gladly joins
n this movement and henceforth a
copy will be mailed there every
week. We will go further and say
that any inmate of the home desir-
ing paper mailed them direct, who
will write US such desire, we will
gladly place him on our mailing list
tree OF charge. Too much cannot be
done to make the last days of these
noble men and women as happy as
possible. When the last of them
have passed we doubt if the world

For months there have been ru
mors that things were not as they
should be in the Supt.of Education's
Office. In fact it has been almost an
open secret in the court house that
something must be wrong there
These whispers or maybe some OF
them came to our ear, but the Herald
felt that it could not afford to handle
SO grave matter but that it should
be work for Grand Jury or call for
an auditing. Now when SO repre-
sentative a body as the Grand Jury
has spoken ana spoken as IL has in
such strong and emphatic terms, it
seems that the matter has reached
that stage where the truth will come

Clever Propaganda For Repeal OF Anti
Trust Laws,

Bonneville Advocate.
The State OF Mississippi is being
overrun with propaganda looking to
the repeal OF our antitrust laws.
1t is easy to discern what interests
are behind it. And il is regrettable
to note that almost every newspaper
In the state is falling for it. The
aim is made that our anti-trust
laws are SO drastic that capital is be-
ing kept out of toe state and its de-
velopment is being retarded thereby.
The encouragement OF manufactur-
ing enterprises is to be desired, and
TO this end the Legislature has pass
ed a bill exempting them from taxa
tion for period of ten years. That
certainly is encouraging. But the
authors Of and supporters of the an
t-trust laws which were passed a
few years ago for the protection oil
the people against unlawful organl-
cations of capital believe these laws
are as good now as they were then

As are all the other sovereign
states of these United States,
M,ssissippl is entitled to two sena-
tors 10 the U. S. Senate. There
are two distinct factions 10 this
state. Both the Senatorial seats are
at present held by what's known as
the anti Vardaman' Faction.
During the War or in 1918 there was
a temporary partial swing away from
the Vardaman organization through
the Wilson administration Influence,
that caused the loss of the seat held
by Vardaman. His factions are de-
termined now with conditions free
and open and intimidation of voters
no longer tolerated, Ito win back
their lost seat with their favorite,
Ex-senator Vardaman as the central
figure round which they are rallyiug
for victory. Certainly SO large d
body as about fifty per cent of the
voting strength of state, are by
any method of reasoning that may
be used, entitled to this considera
ton, and to say the least of it tC

tation. We're an amicable division
made now it might save fight la
ter on the other seat. but with both
sizes it seems to be mo quarter" anc

as we are able to ascertain the rec
ords of the other officers of the Coun
ty are neatly kept and we have no
evidence that they are not correctly
kept.
We want TO call the pubic atteu-
ton to the fact, and also some Justi-
ces of the Peace attention to the fact
that under the law they are not She
riffs or Constables and have no right
TO hold two offices and go about max
ing arrests without warrants or with
warrants. The practice must stop
in Greene County. They have no
more authority, under the law, in
making arrests than any private
citizen. They must bear this in
mind.
We take this opportunity OF thank
ing the Sheriff of this County for the
splendid manner IN which he has
performed his duties as Sheriff, and
also the Circuit Clerk. We thank
His Honor for his splendid charge
and the uniform courtesies and kind
nesses he has shown the Grand Jury,
and we also thank the Court Steno-
grapher, Mr.. Wright, for his assist
ance to the Grand Jury, and also the
District Attorney who has assisted
MS in the performance Of our duty.
and now having finished our labor,
we respectfully ask to be discharged

GRAND JURY REPORT

Recommends That Supervisors Have Such Office Audited
Says County Improved Within Last Six Months
Examined 81 Witnesses Returned IA True Bills

State OF Mississippi
County OF Greene.
To Hon. J. d. FATHERREE. JUDGE:
The Grand Jurors tor the May
Term of the Circuit Court beg leave
to make this as their final report:
I've have examined eighty 49,
witnesses and returned Fourteen IA
true bills. 1t is gratifying to the
Grand Jury to report that the Coun-
ty has improved to a large extent
within the last six months so far as
observing of the law is concerned.
This is due largely to the fact tina
the grand jurors and petit jurors
Uithout fear or favor enforced the
law as best they could at the pre-
ceeding terms OF the Court.
We regret to report that the
records of the office of the County
Superintendent of Education are il
such condition that this Grand Jury
could not hope to unravel the same
and therefore as officers of the Court
and as citizens OF this County We
call upon the Board of Supervisors
of Greene County to have the records
of this office audited so that til,
truth may be known and the schoo
interests of this County protected
and conserved. If conditions ar,
pot changed our Public School Sys
tenn in this County will be wrecked
The affairs of the office have beer
very poorly handled and laxity il
handling the school funds has besl
shown that is almost beyond belief

Give Reasons For Being For vardaman

Simpson County News.
When we came TO this state about
20 years ago, we were spreiudiced
against Vardaman, but as we found
some of the very best OF men for
him, we began to investigate the po-
litical situation in Mississippi. We
found the ring politics in the state
solidy against him, we also found a
gainst him every man or corporation
that was trying to evade taxes or
was locking for legalized plan TO
steal something from somebody.
When we began to seek reason for
this antagonism, we soon found that
Vardaman was in politics not 10 in-
terest of the almighty dollar but for
the people. We found that he was
absolutely true to the best interests
of the people and couldn't be bought.

the crooks out of the penetentiary
and put that institution Tor the

When be went to the Senate he re-
fused to obey the orders OF our Tory
President and thereby incurred his
hatred, but he stood squarely upon
the Democratic platform and by the
people. la our estimation he is the
greatest man this state has ever pro-
duced. Whenever Vardaman voted
with the Republicans, he voted with
Republicans not dominated by Wall
Street. All the Democrats and Re

collar voted the other way invaria-
