that office considers reliable. We ap-
flee has many duties and responsible
ties and requires large number of
deputies to function properly during
certain seasons of the year, such as tax
collecting period, but we think that this
matter of control of liquor traffic is
of such great Importance that it should
not be neglected, even if additional
deputies should be required or the
right to call in citizens of the county
to aid should be exercised; and we do
not believe that the best results can
be obtained by requiring from citizens
reporting violations that they make af-
fidavit on which warrants may issue
This Grand Jury is unanimous in re-
commencing that this county proceed at
once to hold an election to determine
whether or not this county shall have
a county attorney; and we are also
unanimous in reporting to Your Honor
that we will actively aid and support
the movement to install a county at
torney here. We think there is an I'M
perative need for it and that his salary
should be placed high enough to secure
the services of a competent and eff
cient man and one who has a high sense
of official duty.
And now having fully reported, we
beg to be finally discharged.

Grand Jury Deplores
Liquor Violations
In Holmes County

To the Honorable S. F. Davis, Judge of
the Fourth Judicial District includ-
ing the County of Holiness
We, your grand jury, duly empanel;ed
at the February 1929, Special Term of
the Circuit Court of Holmes County,
beg leave to report as follows:
We have been in session for three
days, have examined % witnesses, con-
tinued seven cases, found mo bill" in
two cases, and found one true bill which
we herewith present to Your Honor
We were duly mindful of that part
of Your Honor's charge relating to
violation of the liquor laws and have
made an honest effort to secure in
formation along that line We are con-
vinced that there are very large num-
ber of liquor violations in this county:
that whiskey is being made and sold
IN large quantities; and that this con-
dition could be greatly improved if
proper measures were taken. We have
sought information from such citizens
as we were advised were in possession
of 1t and also from the officers of The
law who are charged primarily with
keeping of the peace and the enforce
ment of law, and the fact that we are
not reporting a single true bill here
with, in which the crime charged is a
violation of the liquor law, is a suffi-
Gent comment on conditions as we find
them. We appreciate the fact that it
Is the moral duty, perhaps, of all good
citizens to aid actively in the enforce
ment of the law but we can understand
why there might be some very GOOD
reasons why citizen might not care

Board Claims Bond
Issue Necessary
for Fire Equipment

A petition signed by citizens and tax
payers of Lexington relative to adequate
equipment for the city's fire protection,
was presented to the board of alder
men at their recent meeting, according
to the minutes the following resolution
was offered by Alderman w. P. Ham
NETT and adopted by the body
That owing to making its budget for
the year 1929, only provisions for the
operation of the fire department upon
the same basis as in former years, and
that in order to inaugurate an efficient
department as requested in the petition
would entail the purchase of a first
class fire truck; the hiring of an eff
cient man to operate said truck; the
storage in a proper building of the
equipment together with furnishing liv-
ing quarters and apartments for the
employe to look after the truck, all of
which would necessitate a bond issue to
ar for such an outlay, which present
unus does not permit. The clerk was
"ltred to acknowledge the petition and
advise the citizens that the board
II consider the petition further if
aid election is desired to carry out the
,tters asked.
The board of aldermen have arranged

rings Many Golf Tournaments for Lnmen Washington District
STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

~ NE of the finest bits of golf that
has been contributed on any
II Of the local courses this Sum-
~ mer came Friday afternoon
from the clubs Of Sam Rice,
Outfielder for the Washington base Dali
club, who bats and hits q golf ball IN
the same way, from the unorthodox side
Of the plate-or tee plates. Sam found
himself strokes back of Byrn Curtiss
after the first round in the competition
for the Namandji Nindj trophy Of In
dain Spring. and, not being used 10
being outgolfed, he proceeded to lessen
So ven did he succeed that he shot
u, over par, and won the event
with 2 strokes to spare. But sans
golf was wierd and wonderful. Not
for him the uncannily accurate strok-
ing of q Jones, nor the monotonous &C
curacy of Horton Smith. Sam oners
more diversity In his golf. He was
Wild from the tee, and had more than
nodding acquaintance with the many
at Indian Spring, but each time ne
came I'D with q birdie or q par.
His play at the eleventh hole was
good example. Here he hooked 70
trap, played out into q trap near the
green, failed to get out with his nrst
shot, knocked his ball on the green
and ran down the putt for s.. The
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
were much the same. And at the END
Sam needed q brace Of pars for 20.
That he didn't get them is no discredit
skidded lightly by the lip of the cup.
AS a piece Of mastery in recovery work,
Rice,s winning effort is in class by
itself.
And then there was Jack Gilmore,
who plays with an iron from the Tee
at Congressional, accepting q stroke
handicap OH the long holes from M.
Parker Nolan and Sidney Moore, stick
ing his third shot 10 feet from the pin
at the long tenth hole at Congressional
to sink the putt for an eagle 4, which
was turned into q literal because OF
the stroke handicap. For that tenth
hole at Congressional, after maSquer-
aiding for two years as a par (Which
II Is mott has been changed back to a
par 6, and isn't a good 9. What Is the
proper cognomen for hole strokes
better than par?. Would it be q condor,
or an albatross, or merely a humming
bird?
But the prize luck yarn Of the sea-
son was brought Dack 1rom HlCnInono
by A. r. Bergman, secretary Of the
Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers
Association. r. Cliff McKimmie, as
sistant pro at the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps Country Club, scored
mediocre S6 In the first round of the
Virginia State open championship.
Then he went out In the afternoon and
literally burned UP the course, playing
the first nine holes in 80 strokes and
getting back much of the ground he had
lost In the morning. A torrential rain
storm burst and McKimmie. like the
other contestants lost a few shots. But
the big blow came when he went into
the clubhouse and discovered that the
committee had decided to call of the
second round of the tourney and make
1t q 54-hole affair, thus throwing out
McKimmie's brilliant effort.

She then retailated to take the second
game on Miss Palfrey's service.
The champion took the next three
games principally on a number Of

time the Boston girl allowed the Holly

Marlowe is particularly effective at the

The sixth game. on Miss Palfrey's
