EYES

We call the attention Of our rea-
ders this week to the beginning Of
a feature on page two which
we think will become one
of the most popular features of
this newspaper weekly o
lumn devoted to the Sunday School
lesson.
These Sunday School lessons viii
prove helpful we believe, to a large
number of our readers throughout
Holmes County, both white and
colored, who do not get enourh IL
terature in their Sunday Schools for
everyone to secure a quarterly.
The lessons are beautifully pre-
pared by DR.. William Cu1bertson of
the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago
and we believe every reader. whe-
Their he attends Sunday School or
not, will get something out of these
lessons to help in everyday life.
The Sunday School lesson is the
first of several additional features we
plan to add to your tavorite news
paper as soon as space, newspript
and skilled help become more plen-
tiful.
The attention of our readers in
supervisors district number two is
directed to the order OF the Board
of Supervisors directing .that an
election be held on Tuesday. Sep
TENDER 30th, in beat two precinct
to decide whether or not beat two's
bonds in the amount of $65,000. shall
be issued for the purpose Of building
and equipping a community hospi-
tai in that beat to be operated and
maintained by its citizens.
This is an important question and
one that merits the careful conside-
ration of every qualified elector in
beat two. Every side of the question
should be weighed and all the facts
made known before an opinion is
formed.
We are certain those favoring the
hospital want every fact made
known publicly to every citizen OF
the various precincts in beat two;
that further they want the hospital
to be built only on the favorable ac-
ton of the majority of the citizens
of beat two.
Only in an atmosphere of mutual
trust and respect can anything wor-
thwhile be accomplished for any
community or district and certainly
the majority of people in beat two
are capable of making up their own
rninds what they want without any
dictation from any source outside the
district.
The Holmes County Law Enforce
ment League is not dead.
It has not held meetings in the
past several months due to the fact
that il did not wish to become in
volved as an organization in politics,
more specifically, it did not wish to
become involved in the sheriff's race
in Holmes County.
Now the political season has end
ed, thank goodness, another meeting
of the League will be held at the
Durant School next Tuesday even
ing at eight o'clock.
AT the coming meeting Holmes
County's new sheriff-elect, Mr.. Ell
lis E. Wynn, and our new district
attorney-elect, Mr.. Stanny Sanders
of Indianola, will be present and will
probably be called upon for a few
remarks.
All law-abiding citizens of Holmes
County interested in getting better
Acknowledgement in our county, are
invited and urged to be present.
The Holmes County Law Enforce
ment League, if it never does any
thing else, has accomplished one
worthwhile thing and that /
it served as a medium to show the
people of the county just how bra
zen and bold the ~bootleggers in oul
county have become.
When some twelve of more opera
tors Of b~ootlegging establishment
showed up at the Durant High Sch
DOL building one night at a law
enforcement meeting and tried t
break it up by hurting personal slur
ring insults at individual citizen
attending the meeting, they showet
their true colors and they solidifie'
public opinion on the eastern sid
of the county as it has never beel
solicited before.
Our people knew the bootlegger
were getting too big for their brit
ches but they hadn't realized jus
how far they had come until tn
episode at the Durant schoolhouse.
Holmes County citizens in Duran
Goodman, West and Pickens all re
presented in the League. then AM
there determined to get rid of tn
bootleggers.
The fight is still on.
With the election of a man for she
riff who has taken a public stan,
