C0rrects Rumors In
Race
Hos Not Withdrawn;
IS Physically Able
To Serve As Sheriff

On my return from the separation
center of the US Army at Augusta,
Georgia, a few day ago, l find that
it is rumored in many sections that
l had withdrawn from the sheriff's
race and further rumored, that if
| was elected I would not be able to
fill the job because of my physical
condition. First, I am still in the
sheriff's race and from encouraging
reports from all over the county l
am going to be the next sheriff OF
Holmes County; secondly ! have
been in bad physical condition due
to. in my opinion. an unsuccessful
operation. but this has been remedi-
ed and / win be able to perform
the duties of Sheriff on January /,
1913; furthermore, if for some In
foreseen trouble / am unable to per-
form my duties and run such office,
l will resign, for I certainly do not
want a job unless / can give value
received.
I wish to reiterate and reempha-
size my former announcement.
My record of service of Is years
as mayor of Lexington will prove
to the most skeptical as to where
l stand on law-enforcement. My
greatest recommendation, in my OPT
MON, is not a single dive operator
in Holmes County is supporting me.
If these operators believe that | Will
do everything in my power to RENE
dy conditions in Holmes County,
then it should be easy for the law
abiding citizens to believe in the
same I Did Not Ask These
Operators To Vote For Me When I
Announced And I Do Not Want
Their Support.
l am making no deals with any
one to get votes. The only deal is
to do my duty to the best of my abb
lily; and furthermore with the aid
of the law-abiding people of this
county we are going to clean up a
lot of the messes that are now ram
pant. ! will need your help and will
have more to say on this if elected;
however it is the duty of the law
abiding people to come to court and
take an interest in what is going on;
and I guarantee that ! will be mor
than glad to work with you, provid-
ed I am elected. The day of law
violators getting on juries will be
over, if I ever have to pick up jurors
from the court room, as is usually
the rule; however, I cannot control
the jurors drawn from the jury box.
I have not made a house to house
campaign and have not been able to
see all the people in the county due
to the fact that I was in the US Ar
my for nearly eve years until a
few days ago and could not make
a campaign until / was separated.
/ hope you will not hold it against
me if I have not seen you and per-
sonally solicited your vote.
During the next few weeks ! am
going to contact personally as many
of you as possible and hope that my
efforts will be rewarded with your
vote and support.
For a cleaner and more law abid-
ing County, / am very sincerely
yours,

There are a few people who have
despaired of ever seeing this county
cleaned up to any great extent.
There is some popular opinion
which a v that you can't stop the
sale of whiskey, people are going
to have it regardless, so you might
as well leave the bootlegger alone
the people want it,.
There are a great number OF peo-
ole in Holmes County who do want
and buy whiskey as they have the
personal right to do but they
do not have the legal right to buy
il in Mississippi as long as we have
our prohibition laws. AS long as we
have the prohibition laws our off,
GERS should be compelled to enforce
these laws to the very best of their
ability as they have taken an oath to
do.
When the majority of people want
whiskey let them legalize it. +. elect
men to the state legislature who will
legalize it. But as long a. we have
the prohibition laws we should de-
mand respect for them in order to
maintain respect for any law, II for
no other reason.
Certainly the open Haunting OF
gambling and prohibition laws In
Holmes County has had a tendency
to break down respect for all laws
as it does in any other community.
Don't let anyone tell you that the
prohibition laws can't be enforced.
All it takes is a sheriff who wants
to enforce the law a sheriff who
will make raid after raid until the
bootlegger is broke. They will all
fold and make hasty exit from Hol-
mes County if a man who means bu-
siness is elected to the sheriff's Of
flee.
How many honest raids can any
bootlegger in Holmes County stand?
How many times could he afford to
have his slot machines confiscated
and not given back to him? How
many cases of whiskey could he
stand losing week after week? How
many times could he stand having
expensive crap tables cut to bits?
Not very long.
You say the law "can't be enforc-
ed?"
Don't make me laugh.

HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brunnon

Last week in this column we said:
Holmes County cannot stand an
other four years of open whiskey-
selling and gambling such as we
have had in these past four years..
and remain a decent place in which
to live and bring up a family.
The Jackson Daily News reprints
this and says, 1.-THE situation in Hol-
mes County, while admittedly bad.
is no worse than it is in many other
counties of the state.
If the statement made by the
Daily News is accurate. and we
do not think that it is -. but even
If it were true that Holmes County
is no worse than many other coun-
ties of the state -. does that make
us look better?
To say that we are bad but are
no worse than many other coun-
ties, is that any kind Of excuse Tor
conditions in Holmes County?
Does that absolve us from all
blame for conditions in this county
Just because there r other counties
where the law is also continually
disregarded7
It does not.
And those persons in Holmes Cou-
MY, including our law-enforcement
officials, who justify their continued
neglect Of duty by saying present
conditions prevail in Holmes County
because the people want them just
don't know what they are talking
about or else they are just plain
lying.
The Daily New continues with
these remarks: Liquor joints flou-
IRISH and gamblers frisk the gullible
not merely becauses of laxity in law
enforcement but because q majority
of the people seem to wont things
that wuY"
We do not believe the foregoing
statement Is true, either. in Holmes
County. We do not believe the ma
jority of the people OF Holmes
County want present conditions to
prevail -. open display of slot mac
hines in windows and doors of every
roadside honky tonk, whiskey out
on the shelves, big time gambling,
questionable tourist camps and ac-
companying evils.
We have a higher opinion OF the
people Of Holmes County than this
80. and we believe that when they
20 to the polls on Tuesday, August
9Th. they will vote for a man for
sheriff who will perform all OF the
duties Of this important office.
And while we're on the subject
of sheriffs /. . this writer Is not
running" any man for the office OF
sheriff or for any other office. we
would not presume on the intelii-
pence Of our readers and friends
in trying to tell them to vote Tor
anyone for any office. We haven't
asked a single person to vote for
any candidate for sheriff and do
not anticipate asking anyone in M
future.

ELECTION RESULTS
TABULATED HERE
Canvass Shows Wade Led
Ticket; White Takes
Second Place

An official tabulation Of the bal
lots cast in Tuesdays city cleo
ton showed that James E. l..
Wade, incumbent, led the ticket
with LIPS votes, according to H.
G. Carney, chairman of the board
Of elections.
Taking second place was Z. L.
White, a newcomer to the scene.
He polled 1,063 votes, followed by
Mayor W. Ronald Lane with 1862.
Tied for fourth spot were Rich
ard L. Burnett and W. E. Yopp,
with 1923 votes each.
An organizational meeting of the
new council is scheduled 10 be
held May 81, when the members
will take the oath Of office. The
mayor is due to be named at that
time as well as members to the
various committees.
Just who will be named mayor
Is a matter of speculation at the
present time as the number Of
votes cast for any one candidate
does not determine VINO will fill
the office. The mayor is chosen by
the members of the council at the
first session.
Two present members of the
council, Garland S. Currin ane
Robert S. LeGwin, were defeated
in the primary and a third mem
Der, Harriss Newman, declined tt
run.
LeGwin received a total of 21t
votes in a written campaign but
failed to win a seat as all primary
winners we're elected by substan'
tial margins.

without knowing why she felt
compassion.
She would not let in the thought
that this was the first time she
had gone to bed without Bill. In
bed she lay with her hands clasp
ed under her head, listening to the
repeated sound of paper turning
in Bills hands.
It was wicked to look forward
to it-she was a little shocked to
find herself doing so-but if Bill
were beaten in this trial! Then

said.
He'd said that when Bill was

been permitted to operate. Why?
When Russia S threatened by
Germany and Japan, she could
not risk operating the constitution
of 1886. But what prevents her
from operating it now? Is it the
Churchill speech at Fulton? Is it
the atomic bomb? Is it the Tru-
nan message? Or is it that the
oligarchy which holds power over
Russia cannot retain its power II
it permits the constitution Of 1896
10 operate?
That appears to be the real rea-
son, and if it is, then We must
ask whether Stain was telling the
whole truth, not merely a part Of
it, when he said that RUSSIA
wants to cooperate" For the
question then is: can a ruling
oligarchy, which cannot operate
it's own constitution lest it be over
thrown, cooperate lawfully and
normally beyond its frontiers? For
how could it justify to its own
people the rigors and the Illegal
| ties of its own conduct at home
if it we're on good terms with all
! the leading powers OF the oute1
world? Does not the maintenance
of the dictatorship in Russia de-
pend upon maintaining a state Of
tension and insecurity to justify
it?
This is the dilemma which ex'
plains, it seems to me, the bait
ling fact that Stain is always say
ing that he wants a settlement
and that, with all his transcenden1
authority, he never produces
settlement. He does not want war
He would like economic co-opera'
ton. He would probably, if he
could, renounce the world revo
luton if he could settle for secu'
rity.
But security means to him, not
merely the security Of the Rus
sian patrimony but the security
of the Communist party, and Thai
security, since it depends upor
the suppression OF Russian free
dom. he has been unable tt
reconcile with genuine peace
abroad.
This dilemma will probably mo-
be resolved by any formula whlcf
can be agreed to now In TN
Council of Foreign Ministers. l
may be resolved eventually b,
events which, as we can see II
France at this moment, are begin
ming to take a new turn.

recalled what Lois had said, O,

her! Because she and Bill didn't

wouldn't take into consideration
that Bill had this case to work on.

day, directly after breakfast, to
hunt among the stalls for the
freshest looking vegetables at the
lowest prices, the best cuts OF
meat, always keeping in mind
Bills preferences, to pile her fill
ed bags beside her on the seat OF
the car and hurry home TO stow
their contents On the kitchen
shelves and in the Frigidaire.
1t had been exciting; now Bill
didn't notice what he was eating

flights of stairs. In tae street she
walked fast, needless of her direc-

AWAY from this rebellion.
She had walked several blocks
when, to her surprise, she realized
she was on Oak Avenue and be-
fore her fathers house.
There were lights in the hall
and in an upper room. They're
home!" she thought and felt a
rush Of almost childish relief and
joy and an inclination to run into
the house. She did go a little way
toward the door, swiftly. Then she
stopped. She would have to ex-
plain why she was out alone. And
no matter how plausibly, how
carelessly she explained it, her IA
Their would sense something back
of it.
"Bill's neglecting you, eh?"
She could hear her father say
ing it, giving words to her own

walking back the way she had

though in checking that impulse
to rush into her fathers house she
had found new measure OF herself.

such a possibility.

cried unguardedly.
