HAZEL
EYES
by Huzel Bronnon

The Holmes County Grand Jury
meets Monday Morning at nine
o'clock in Lexington and has pub
licly urged the people OF Holmes
county TO come before it at that time
and report violations of the prohib-
ition and gambling laws in the
county.
The Grand Jury In its report
charged athat the Sheriff has wholly
failed and neglected to perform his
sworn duty"
The Grand Jury further declared:
-swe are satisfied that should the
Sheriff perform faithfully the duties
If his office that there nov and
always has resided in him sufficient
authority to combat these evils"
It should certainly be clear to
everyone by now that Sheriff Muir
taph does not intend to wipe out
the widespread lawlessness in Hol-
mes county; that we cannot expect
OF ever hope for Holmes county to
be cleaned up as long as he remains
in office.
Sheriff Murtagh has been called
upon time and time again to dc
something about the whiskey joints
that line our highways, especially
around Durant, but so far nothing
has been accomplished.
No man in the world could take
the public criticism taken by the
Sheriff and remain in office, brazer
it out, without some deep, under
living motive. What that motive OF
reason is we could not say. only
.surmise.

Unless the men and women OF
Holmes county have enough cour-
age to face this issue now, square,
ly, they have only themselves to
blame for the future.
If every man and woman Will
conditions now with conditions ten
dears ago it will be noted they have
grown steadily worse.
Parents with children should GER
tainly be the most concerned OF any
group of citizens. A child growing
up in a community where the boot
leggers are the most prosperous
citizens cannot have much ambition
to study, work hard and amount to
something -. and we are not ex-
a~ggerating when we say that con-
dition prevails today in some OF our
towns in the county.
This column has done everything
humanity possible to keep the public
informed on conditions. We have re-
ported for your information week by
week arrests, accounts of killings
fights. stahbings, burglary anc
other crimes all rooted in the gener-
al disregard for law and order.
The Grand Jury which met las
week and now recessed until Mon
day is giving every citizen an oppor-
tunity to be heard, 81 if you dom
like the way things are going II
Holmes county the thing to do is tc
