Williams of Noxubee Pleads
For His MOOnshine; Declares
His People Need The Money
Defended Moonshinng" the Floor of House-Said
Already Hard Enough Get Liquor Without Adding Any
Further Restrictions. Member Declared Himself Best
Judge of Moonshine Liquor in the State

MACON, Miss, March 21.-Con.
sidering with great seriousness the re-
marks of representative Williams in
the Mississippi house on Saturday
when he declared Its already hard
enough to get liquor" number of
citizens of Noxubee county have
drafted a petition of protest against
his stand in the house.
The discussion came up when the
representative moved the indefinite
postponement of a bill making the
possession of a still felony.
Mr.. Williams of Neshoba, chairman
of the committee on liquor traffic, in
terposed:
"When I called up this bill knew
somebody was going to be hit.
"Sure, l am" said his colleague
from Noxubee. "It'g already hard
enough to get liquor"
Taking the floor on his motion to
indefinitely pospone. Mr.. Williams
made the first defense Of moonshine
liquor that has probably ever been Of
fered in legislative body.
Were going too darned far with
this prohibition business" he sad.
every man ought to have some rights
but it's got 80 mighty few are left Us.
''If there is a man on the floor OF
this House who doesn't like a drink
of whisky occasionally I'd like to zee
the color of his eye."
Five or six members arose and
made protest, whereupon Mr.. Will
Jams expressed doubts as to whether
they are redblooded American citi-
Zens.
Asked by Mr.. Hilzim if he has had
any experience in the making Of
moonshine liquor, Mr.. Williams re-
torted:
"Yes, know how it is did, and I'm
also the best judge Of moonshine Ii
quor in this state; am an expert on
the subject"
The speaker then proceeded to give
graphic description of just how
first-class moonshine still, equipped
with copper worm, and using dis:
titled water, is operated.
"But I've got no use for that stuff
thew make in lard cans. using muddy
water and concentrated lye," said Mr..
Williams. "We ought to discourage
that form of traffic"
"What is your real objection to this
bill?" asked Mr.. Curry of Kinds.
"I oppose it because it interferes
with the rights of some of my con-
stituents-their right to make liv-
ing. Gentlmen, there are thousands
Of little farmers in this state. living
on five, 10 and 20-acre tracts, who
can barely earn q living today, and IL
they are TO be denied the privilege
of converting what corn they raise
into moonshine. and marketing it with
some profit, then they won't be able
to paw their taxes"
"Who is running your stu while
you're down here at the Legislature7'
asked Mr.. Curry Of Kinds.
'I turned it over to your brother
in-law who is near neighbor OF
mine" retorted Mr.. Williams.
The member from Noxubee had the
tide of sentiment running rapidly
against the bill when some of the pro-
hibition members brought Senator
Daniel. author of the measure. over
from the Senate chamber and asked
that he be given the courtesies sf the
floor to defend 1t.

THE FIRST
AS
EXECUTOR

ONCE, the widow man
Oaged and settled her
II u S b IN DIS estate. The
husband was a farmer, or
a small tradesman in
those days. His wife was
his close associate in
their joint business. She
knew as much about the
crops and the cattle as he
knew.
Or it may be, if he were
a merchant, that she
shared the space behind
his modest counter with
him.
The task of administering
was primitive then, and
she discharged it as best
she could.
Later. with the coming Of
steam engines and larger
mills, the business man
became the executor of
large estates. Business
had become more COM
pick. Men had their Of
fees and contingencies
where the women seldom
appeared. The task be-
came too complicated for
the widow. A man with
business experience was
drafted to meet it.

tell how the drawbacks

ity especially adapted for seed grow.
Ing. Potatoes require a well.pre.
pared, rich soil, and It pays to use
commercial fertilizer, well mixed with
the soil Of the hills or the rows. Tho
seed should be cut two eyes to
each piece, with plenty Of potato n.
tached. One piece should be planted
in each hill and covered to a denth ~
about ~ or 4 inches. The rows
should be at least 80 inches apart and
the hills u to Is inches apart in the

There is very little, II any, hope Of

think, therefore, prompt efforts should
be made to locate the most healthy

mercial varieties. Since there Is no
means at present Of detecting mosaic
on the tuber the search should be con.
fined exclusively to the fields during
the growing season. When the best
strains are found they should further
be improved by the annual elimination
Of all the diseased individuals.
