Wilmington Speaks
10 Rotary Club
"Americunism o.
Communism" Asks
Congressman Here

"Americanism or Communism"
wal the topic selected by the Hon.
Will M. Wilmington, congressman,
for an interesting and Informative
talk to the Lexington Rotary Club
Friday.
1.-THE United States is now at the
crossroads" Mr.. Wilmington de-
clared, saying that during the war
we as a nation were at the height
Of our power and influence but
since the end Of the war we have
failed In the job of production and
economic initiation.
1.-THE very forces we conquered
in the war are now boring from
within, and it is time for real Amer
leans to be on the ramparts," he
declared.
The speaker said what happened
in Italy and Germany to Individual
freedom can happen here and warn
ed that we must be on our guard.
He said he favored collective bar
gaining for labor but that he strictly
opposed the selfish, demagogic ten
denotes that seemed to dominate the
actions of some labor leaders in the
country; that he opposed strikes
against the interest of the public.
Russia And Wdr
In regard to Russia, Mr.. Whiting
ton declared that he did not think
Russia wanted war; and cited as
some of the reasons: the u. S. has
the atomic bomb, has the largest
Navy in the world, a two-ocean
navy, the greatest air force and the
machinery and tools to accomplish
the job of war production.
"But as long as Mo1otov can get
by with bluffing Russia will con-
tinue to gain power" Mr.. Whiting
ton said. at is absolutely essential
that the u. S. and England continue
to stand together for our common
good" he continued. The speaker
said he favored the loan to Britain
as part of that policy of standing
together.
Stuhle America
A stable, united America is essen
tial to world peace, the Congressman
said. and the average American
citizen must return to the same high
resolution and spirit Of sacrifice
that characterized our people dur
ing the war. 1--WE must advance
on our knees" he said, realizing
that God still reigns and rules this
world.
Mr.. Whittington's forceful and in
spirational message was greatly en-
ioyed by a splendid attendance. DR..
G.. d. Russell, program chairman,
was in charge Of the program.

Additional Needy Cases
Placed On PayrolIs

Recent amendments to the FEEDER
al Social Security Act will mean,
among other things, that the needy
aged, needy children, and needy
blind people who car qualify under
Federal and State laws for assistant
ce, can be put on the payroll during
the next two or three months.
It does not mean that those alrea-
DIV on the assistance payrolls will
automatically receive an increase
since those who have been
able to get on the rolls on account
of lack of funds must be considered
first This procedure may take up
all the increase in funds, according

HAZEL
EYES
by Hozel BrGnnon

After reading the Holmes County
Grand Jury's report we are speech
less
Sheriff Murtagh can do only one
of two things: Start raiding e
joint in Holmes county every day
until they are forced to close their
doors forever or resign.
Surely no man can take the con-
demnaticn handed Sheriff Murtagh
by the Grand Jury without doing
something about it.
The vital need for an airport in
Lexington was shown Monday eve
ming when four Navy filters had
narrow escapes making emergency
landings here. Two of the navy
planes were severely damaged and
the others damaged to a lesser ex-
tent. 1t is fortunate no one was
killed.
We are now living in the "air
age Our people will become more
air-conscious as the months and
years 60 by. The towns who fail
to provide facilities for aircraft are
going to be left behind in the future
march Of progress.
We hope to see Lexington secure
an airport before many months have
passed. There Is nc reason why we
shouldn't.
Federal funds are available to help
purchase land and improvements.
The Federal government will adj
vance towns and cities IS per cent
of the entire amount needed to buy
land for an airport; will contribute
fifty percent of the cost Of any i'm
provements except building hangers.
This includes drainage and grading,
fencing and lighting, and erection
Of administration buildings.
We think It would be an excellent
idea to start right now planning for
an airport for Lexington and In.
clude in our plans an administra-
ton building that viii also serve a
q community building, the whole
thing to be planned as worthy wal
memorial to our war veterans.
It is possible to plan the projec,
so that every man, woman anc
child In the community will b.
benefited.
More about this later.

and neglected to perform his sworn
duty in that there now flourisheS
and has continued to flourish in
Holmes county throughout the ten
ure Of the present Sheriff open,
notorious, fragrant, violation of the
prohibition and gambling laws. We
are satisfied that should the Sheriff
perform faithfully the duties of his
office that there now and then and
always has resided in his sufficient
authority to combat these evils.
We have made a thorough investi-
cation of the duties of the office Of
District Attorney and the office Of
County Attorney and we find that
both Honorable Howard Dyed Jr.,
District Attorney, and Honorable
Pat M. Barrett, County Attorney,
are performing their duties faith
fully to the limit of their authority
as exhibited by the fact that every
person convicted in Circuit Court Of
the violation of either prohibition
or gambling laws have served at
least fifteen days in Jail. We find
that they are not enforcing officers
in that they have no more power
to arrest or to make a search than .
private citizen has.
We have been advised that before
this body can return an indictment
sufficient information must be pre-.
sented to this Grand Jury before
such an indictment can be returned.
We have been in session two days
and have had only three persons
from the entire county of Holmes
to come before this body and make
any complaint about violation Of
prohibition laws and gambling laws
in our County. We, therefore, ara
requesting your Honor, to allow
this Grand Jury to recess until 900
o'clock A. M. on the third Monday
of this term, which is October 21st.
1916, at which time we wish to now
urge the law abiding people of Hol-
mes county to come before our body
and that at such time give us suffic.
lent information so that we might
return indictments for violation Of
the prohibition and gambling lawn
of u County, believing that where
the Sheriff of Holmes County has
wholly failed to perform his duty,
that the people of Holmes county,
through their Grand Jury, will
bring to justice those who SO flag
rantly, openly, VIGOROUSLY and with
apparent immunity flout the laws
of u State in the face of the people
of this County.
And now having temporarily re-
ported, we beg leave to be discharg-
ed until our body shall reassemble
at the stated above time, or at n
soone time we may be so ordered
by Your Honor.
Respectfully submitted, this the
9th day of October, 1916.
