ITO Those Whb Would Be Sheriff

will The Reader Please
Look Under The Front
Seat Of His Car

J. G. Grace, candidate for Justice
of the Peace, Beat 2, would be very
grateful if everybody having an old
Chevrolet in this section would look
carefully under the front seat and
see if they can find a box of candi.
da,e cards which he put there By
mistake.
1T happened this way: Mr.. Grace
came into the News office to ge.
THE cards we had printed for him.
He took out about rs cards and put
them in his pocket. Then he took
the rest and put them under the
front seat of what he thought was
his car parked in front of the News
office
Going down the street and solicit
ing friends and passersby for votes
he gave out of cards and came back
ito get some more.
Much 10 his CONSERVATION his car
was still standing but there were no
cards. He evidently mistook some
one else's car for his own when he
hid the cards.
So everybody having a rather old
model Chevrolet is asked to look I'M
der the front seat-find Mr.. Grace's
cards-and kindly return them to
the News office or to him in per-
son.

Brewers Help Keep Beer
Establishments CIeun

jackson. Miss, Sept. 6-(Special-
The right of two Kinds County retail
outlets to sell beer has been taken
away by Chairman A. H. Stone OF
the State Tax Commission at the re-
quest of the Brewers and Mississippi
Beer Distributors Committee.
Marking initial action in the State
Beer Committees drive to Cleanup
or closeup outlets that flagrantly
violate the aw and permit offensive
practices to surround the sale Of the
beverage, Chairman Stone revoked
the permits of Mrs. M. E. Crosby and
Massie Hawkins.
Mrs. Crosby operates Sunset Inn
a roadside establishment two miles
northwest of Jackson on the Poca-
hontas highway. and Hawkins runs
a place in the heart Of the Capital
City.
Revocation petitions were filed with
the State Tax Commission two weeks
ago by State Director w. W. Pierce
of the Beer Committee. The State
Director produced proof that both
Mrs. Crosby and Hawkins had been
convicted of liquor law violations and
that Mrs. Crosby also had been con-
victed of operating a disorderly house.
Mr.. Pierce said his Committee had
investigated both places carefully be-
fore the petitions were filed.
This is no hit or miss proposition"
he said. I'VE are determined to
weed out the comparatively few bad
beer outlets in Mississippi regard
less of the amount Of time and ef-
fort it takes. We ara greatly en-
couraged by the amount Of coopera-
zion we are receiving from the en-
forcement officials, the public and beer
distributors and retailers.
More than 100 outlets have been
investigated since the Comlmdttee was
organized July 28," Mr.. Pierce said.
We found the great majority Of them
operating clean. decent. law-abiding
places, but we are preparing to a>s
against those few we found out of
line"
He indicated additional petitions
for revocation of permits would be
filed wi Chairman Stone soon.

Sanitary Officer Advises
Requirements For City

Out of 315 homes in Durant having
outdoor sanitary facilities, there are
at least 225 affecting a public health
menace and need to be completely
replaced, according to Mr.. o. w.
Thompson, sanitary officer of Hol-
mes county.
Several of these conditions apply
to white homes in the city but the
vast majority of the cases affect ne
negro houses.
Practically all the 255 units which
need replacing are in a frightful state
and constitute a dreadful health me-
mace, Mr.. Thompson said. Practical
ly every one Of these are adjacent
to homes wherein white families
dwell and are as dangerous to these
families as to the negroes. Flies
which commonly swarm around these
filthy spots easily have ces to all
homes in the locality and constitute
a danger OF the gravest sort.
There is no health ordinance In
the city Of Durant regarding this
measure Of sanitation. The Mayor
and Board Of Aldermen have been
asked to pass such an ordinance by
tho Sanitary Officer but they have
not yet done so.
1t is desired by the health officers
to get enacted a local ordinance
adopting the requirements Of the
state health board in order to ade
quately guard against the spread and
contagion Of diseases afforded BY
such measures.
The cooperation of local municipal
officials is necessary If the heaist
Of all the people Of the community
is to be protected.
