The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, Sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within!

The body of the class would do we'll
to maintain individually the cooperation
and the interest that has characterized
their twelve years in school here. Our
school has been the foremost center of
interest in Lexington for many years,
despite any assertions that might be
made to the contrary.
The town feels responsibility toward
each one of its yearly graduating class
es-the larger the class, the more the
responsibility. With the largest class
in history the Lexington High School.
forty-two in number, our class feels
that it has manifested much interest and
must repay a debt of gratitude by max
ing the most of every opportunity and
proving that the oncoming crop of iit-
terbugs aren't just so many nitwits.
So the class of 80 is looking ahead.
At this time next week forty-two girls
and boys will thrust a spade into 'new

! spect, genuine, sincere love for the
best in life, and an indulgence in

With the confidence of those about

whole hearted encouragement, these

Yes, we're looking ahead--for we feel

Watch The Promises

As the Greenwood Commonwealth
aptly remarks editorially, 1t would be a
wise thing for voters to reason out prom
ises made by candidates this year. Re-
gardless Of what they say, they are un-
able to do anymore than any other man
confronted with government problems.
II more is done, taxes must pay the bill,
and you know where that will come from.
So read the following and see if you
don't agree with the logic expressed:
"The Mississippi campaign is at last
underway, and from present appearances
the late start Of the campaign will be
made up for by the heat of the final
drive.
"This is not statement in favor Of
any candidate nor against any candidate.
1t is merely word Of warning to the
voters.
Regardless Of the promises which may
be made. Regardless Of the rosy state
ments about increasing pensions, exemp-
tions and more spending, coupled with
promises Of reduced taxes, the self evil
dent fact remains, that when the state
spends money it must take the money
from its people by taxation.
"The voter should RENE mber that when
the promises fly thick and fast.
"In determining whether to approve
a new departure into governmental activ-
titles, the voter should determine whether
it is worth the cost, and he should have
no illusions about it,. If the expenditure
is worth the cost in taxes let him vote
it with that understanding clear. He
need not be deceived about increasing
appropriations and cutting taxes. 1t can
not be done.
"Not a single candidate has magic
The Lexington advertiser., 1939-05-25

and we have done in three years what
other states have taken twenty years
to do.
All Of the money will be put under
contract, we hope, by the end of the
year, and the projects will be taken as
provided by the law. It is impossible
for us to put all of the money under
contract within the next sixty or ninety
days, but we are doing our dead-level
best and will continue to do so.
We appreciate very much the courte-
sizes extended to us by the press and
the people of the district and state, and
we assure each and everyone that we
will do our best to be fair to every Sec
tion and that we will get to each pro-
ject as soon as we can.
Yours very truly,
S. T. ROEBUCK,
Commissioner.

Lexington, Miss.
I understand that there is quite a bit
of controversy as to Mississippi IL. No
one with any authority has stated where,
when nor what type construction No.
IL will have.
More work has been put under con-
struction during the past twelve months
than ever before in the history of the
state. We are getting to projects all
over the district and state as rapidly as
possible and we will get to No. IL just
as soon as we can. It is physically i'm
possible to put all of the work under
contract at one time and we have tried
to be fair to every county in the state
and district in the awarding of con-
tracts and, we have fully and strictly
complied with the law as to making
awards.
We regret exceedingly that we have
been unable to build all of the roads
that are needed in the state, up to this
time, but, it is to be remembered that
three years ago there were no roads,

that it is time all dogs should be pre-
vented from running at large. 1t is
easy to allow the dog plenty of exercise
for his health and still keep him out Of
the fields either by fenced runway or
by stretched wire on which there is a
runner to which the dogs collar can be
fastened by light chain. This is a
cheap and effective method. The wire
may be flat on the ground, if preferred,
stretched tightly between low posts. A
small ring on the wire will slide back
. and forth easily. Quail, you know, have
to outwit rats, snakes, owls, hawks, cats,
skunks, moving machines, wet weather
| and what not. Plenty big enough job
for the gallant little fellows, so your
help by dog confinement will be appre-
ciated. Keep them up until September
when the young birds will be able to
