Letter To Editor

The Lexington Advertiser and
Durant News,
Miss Hazel Brannon, Editor,
Dear Miss Brannon:
AS one of the Grand Jury, 1 wish
to say that we had no intentions of
getting even with any one signing
the petition which was presented to
Judge Davis or making any one feel
embarrassed by having them sum-
moned before the Grand Jury. The
first time we met, there were but
three people before us. AS you know
the Grand Jury connot indict except
on some definite evidence against
some individual. We knew lot of
the people who were summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury wouldn't have
any concrete evidence, but would
know the general conditions, and we
hoped that some could give us evil
dence that we could base indict-
ments on. We did get evidence
enough to return So indictments
against whiskey and slot machine
violations.
The Sheriff, Mr.. Walter Murtagh
promised the Grand Jury, The Dis
trict Attorney, and the County At
torney that he would enforce the
law. We believe he will do it, but il
he doesn't there will be other steps
taken
The Grand Jury is 1000 behind
the District and County Attorneys
and will give them all the support
necessary to see that the laws are
enforced. I think we have one of the
best District Attorneys we have had
in long time. hope before another
Grand Jury is empaneled that we
will have a better county.
I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
J. w. CUNNINGHAM.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
6y HAZEL BRANNoN

The Grand Jury did a fine job
when called back last week by
Judge S. F. Davis to investigate
crimes committed since it adjourned
Monday, April LIST.
A real investigation of conditions
in the county in regard to violations
of the prohibition and gambling
laws was made. l16 people testified
before the Grand Jury, khe majority
of whom had signed a petition to
Judge Davis asking him to recon-
vene the Grand Jury for the purpose
of investigating conditions in the
county.
What these citizens told the Grand
Jury must have been plenty for 81
indictments were made by the
Grand Jury for whiskey and slot
machine violations after three-day
session. Six of the persons against
whom indictments were made are
already serving Jail sentences, have
paid fines and costs and put under
bond not to violate the laws again.
Others at large will be arrested as
soon as they are caught. Some have
already expressed themselves as be-
ing through for good" in the whis-
key business. Altogether it looks
like a pretty good start has been
made toward cleaning up Holmes
county. a
Sheriff Walter L. Murtagh, called
before the Grand Jury to answer
certain complaints, said it would be
the policy Of his office in the future
to rigidiy enforce the prohibition
and gambling laws in Holmes county.
He will certainly have our support.
We commend the Grand Jury. Dis
trict Attorney Howard Dyer, ana
County Attorney Pat M. Barrett, for
their splendid work. We also com.
mend Judge Davis for his stiff
charge to the Grand Jury indicating
he wanted an investigation made.
1t all goes to prove that when peo-
ple get enough Of thing they won't
have any more and the people
rule. They might let things get out
of hand for while but when they
get ready to clean things up way
is found to accomplish their pur-
pose. The people of Holmes county
are fed up with the bootleggers
running the county. 4t
The ball is now rolling in the
other direction the pootlegger
is definitely on the run.

15-Day Sentences
Imposed By Judge
On Guilty Pleas
Six Men Get Days,
$4,000 Fines and
Put Under Bond

Six Holmes county men are in the
county Jail at Lexington serving Is
day sentences imposed upon then
by Judge S. F. Davis this week ir
Circuit Court. They pied guilty tt
indictments for whiskey and slo,
machine violations returned by the
Holmes County Grand Jury last
week. In addition each was fined
10000 and costs and put under
$4,000 bond not to violate the law
again.
Most of the men now held had
more than one indictment. The Is
day Jail sentence and fine repre-
sented the Judges decision on only
case Other cases against them were
passed to the files and can be put
back on the docket at any time in
the future desired by the County
Attorney and District Attorney. In
case of repeated violations of the
law they will forfeit their bond and
in addition run the risk of being
tried on all charges at once.
The men are: Herbert Downer,

liquor.

to selling liquor. Three cases in
volving possession of slot machines
passed to the files.

Other Indictments
According to the Grand Jury's re-
port there were So indictments
drawn by it for violations of the
prohibition and gambling laws. The
above arrests account for only 10
indictments which indicates there
are quite a few arrests yet to be
made by Sheriff Murtagh to carry
out Grand Jury indictments.

Aside from the fine effect upon
the body through drinking the

in the rind which is best gotten
by just rubbing it over the face.
Then, save the seed, dry them in

both.
