OUR PEOPLE SHOULD GET
TOGETHER AND STAND
TOGETHER.

1t may be the same way every
where as it is in Oxford, but that does
not justify that it is right.
1t seems that our people have a
habit of sending away" for what
they want, instead of encouraging
home enterprise by patronizing home
institutions. We find this is the case
in the printing game. People will
inconvenience their needs in order to
"send off" for their printing. They be-
lieve that it is "better" if 1t is done
away from home.
! Such a spirit is prevalent in our
town and in our schools and colleges.
This is one idea which should be
taught in our schools: "Patronize
home" Your work may be done a
little better somewhere else, but your
newspaper is one of your home insti-
buttons, it is an asset to your town,
taxpayer, and as such it deserves
your patronage.
The same is true to merchants of
the city. When a dollar is sent away
for goods the town is just that much
worse off. The idea Of "Patronizing
home" should be encouraged by the
merchants as well as the newspaper.
They should ~ to the people with
printed advert. .nts, stressing on
@home patro Z
So long as this "sending away
spirit exists just SO long your COM
munity will drag.

SHOULD BE ENFORCED
OR REPEALED.

Our community has been considerably
wrought up over the killing of one Elmer Williams
few miles east of the city by officers of the law
last Saturday afternoon.
1t is to be regretted that such action on the
part of the officers was made necessary But it is
are on the statute books and it is right that all
laws should be enforced or repealed.
Regardless of what man may think of a
Prohibition law of any other law, so long as it is
on the statute books of the nation and is part
of the nations constitution he is in duty bound if
he is man of honor and morality, to obey that
law, or else he contributes to the breaking down
of all law and to the destruction of our govern
ment.
It's not only in Lafayette county, Mississippi,
that the Volstead act and the eighteenth amend
ment is being shamelessly Violated Below we
clip from an exchange which will give you some
idea as to what extent the prohibition law is being
violated at other and greater places:

BUSINESS.
Whiskey has been thorn in the flesh of civil
lzatlon ever since time begun 1t has been prob
lem which has baffled our most learned men,
Many laws have been enacted with view Of solv-
ing the Whiskey problem and in the wake of these
efforts to find remedy to control the liquor traffic
IaWlessness has always followed.
In 1874 there was an up rising in PennSyl-
wanna, known as the ''Whiskey Rebellion" against
the enforcement of the Excise law which had
been enacted by Congress in March, 1791 on
domestic spirits. The attempt to enforce the law
was followed by wild excesses, stormy times and
|riotous violence the Federal Revenue officers in
some cases being tarred and feathered. So ag-
gressive became the violators of the law that in
order to crush what reached the magnitude of a
rebellion against the Government Washington
Isent a large military force into Western Pennsyl
wanna against these law vioators One of the
most prominent leaders fled to New Orleans and
Iothers were tried and convicted of treason,
though subsequently pardoned
A somewhat similar condition developed in
1862 and continued for ten years following the
In the "Whiskey Rebellion in 1874 and be-
tween 1862 and 1872 the activity of the liquor in
|terests against the enforcement of these laws
WAS, in proportion to population, greater even
than is the present fight against the Volstead act
and the 18th amendment.
In regard to the situation prevailing between
1862 and 1872 the New York Journal of Commerce
one of the foremost of the commercial publica-
tons of the country and which is not prohibition
advocate, gives the following interesting facts:
