States Absentee
Voting Law Erased

Governor O'Conor wiped the abb
sentee service voting law off the books
with a proclamation last Friday, de-
claring it was no longer necessary
Thus came to an end what had once
been a state and national political
issue
The proclamation had the imme-
diate effect of postponing Baltimore's
primary election to April |, step
advocated by Governor-elect W. Pres
ton Lane, Jr., in view of the fact that
the Legislature will be in session in
the first three months of next year
1t was feared that if the emer-
gency law were in effect, there would
have been conflict between the cleo
ton campaign and the Legislative ses-
sion.
Wiping the state law off the books
eliminated at the same time the War
Ballot Commission which had been set
up under a 1914 law to administer
absentee voting.

American Food Needed
To Feed Hungry

Statement by Chester C. Davis,
chairman, Famine Emergency Com
mittee, made public today by the
committee in Washington, in COM
ment upon the report of Chairman
Hoover and DR.. D. A. Fitzgerald:
"The report of Mr. Hoover and DR..
FitzGerald should encourage this
country to redouble its efforts to
send food abroad.
THE report shows that, in the
three countries visited, hunger has
not yet reached stage so advanc-
ed as to put the people beyond the
reach of help. 1t means that food
shipped from this country now or
soon can arrive in time to prevent
mass starvation.
SO now let us all make haste to
use the opportunity we still have to
conserve food at home and save lives
abroad"
One person who saves slice of
bread meal may not be able to see
just how that saving will help feed
people in Europe. But the Famine
Emergency Committee gives assur-
ance that such savings, multiplied in
millions of American homes each
day, will most certainly enable this
country to load the ships with the
food that is needed to prevent FAM
inc overseas.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, for number or years
past there has been an increasing
disregard on the part of some ele-
ments of our Holmes County citi-

violation of the laws provided for
the protection and welfare of all our

WHEREAS, in recent months the
enforcement of our said laws, espe-
cially the laws of Mississippi relat-
ing to intoxicating liquor, has be-
come so lax as to invite and encour-
age the growth of unlawful whiskey
traffic in the county, has brought in
to existence many "ioints" where
whiskey is openly sold to the public,
slot machines and other gambling
devices are made available to the
public, including school children,
and disregard of our laws has be-
come SO widespread that such slot
machines and gambling devices are
often found in otherwise reputable
places of business, and such whiskey
traffic and gambling has now grown
to such large proportions in our
midst that it has become inexcusable
and intolerable. Now, therefore, be

Nuturc's Message

''The heavens declare the glory of
God; and the armament sheweth his
handiwork Psalm 1871.
At this beautiful season of the
year, many ask themselves, "Can
there be any one so blinded to
beauty and hardened by sin as not
to see the hand of God in the glor-
les of nature?" The Psalmist truly
said, 'The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God Psalm AL. The
book of nature is constantly declar-
ing the first elements of religion
that there is God, and that this
God is but one God, and that this
one God excells all things in might
and majesty.
These great facts are continually
being declared by the heavens and
the other works of Gods hand. As
a room hung round about with look
ing glasses reflects ones face at ev-
cry turn, so all the world beholds
the power and wisdom of God in ma
ture is only Gods primer. It is a
one that every man everywhere can
understand. It is universal Ian
guage.
So then, everyone has some knowE
/ ege of God and is without excuse if
he does not serve Him. For the in
visible things of him from the crea-
ton of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that
are made, even his eternal power
and Godhead, so that they are with
out excuse" Romans 1:20. "And
this is the condemnation that ligh,
is come into the world and men low
ed darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds are evil" John
3:I9.
So natures message of Gods pow
er leaves men inexcusable. However
nature does not reveal Gods grace
in saving condemned sinners. Ma

Ministers 5 Endorse Food
Campaign For Starving

In q countrywide meeting at Lex
ington Monday, ministers, school su-
perintendents and agricultural work.
ers agreed upon plans for an inten-
sive campaign in an effort to stim-
ulate and assist the people OF the
county in doing great job of pro-
ducing as well as saving food. The
idea behind all of this being to help
feed the millions Of starving people
in foreign lands.
The ministers were asked to de-
vote q few minutes of their service
every Sunday to this question in an
effort to make the people more con-
scious Of the food needs abroad; the
superintendent were also requested
to devote certain amount Of their
time to the emphasis of this question
in their schools and the agricultural
workers likewise were requested to
devote a certain amount of their
time to this important work.
We are informed that emphasis
should be placed upon the produc-
ton and saving of bread and fats.
Any food produced or saved win In
directly effect the amount we will
have to ship abroad.
The same emphasis on gardens as
during the war will be called for
this year. Everybody who can grow
garden is urged to do so. The more
meals we produce from the garden
will leave that many more on the
shelves of food stores and conse-
quently more for the starving peo-
pie whom we have direct respon-
sibility to help feed.
