States Rights Campaign Goal

States Rights advocates in Holme county have set S3,ooo.
as our goal to be raised as our contribution to the national cam
paign, according to leaders in the drive.
The majority of Mississippi citizens, we believe, are SOLID
ly behind the Thurmond-Wright ticket of the Dixiecrats.
Now is the time to show where we stand by digging down
in our pockets and making as liberal a contribution as possible
for the campaign.
1t takes more than oratory to run a campaign even on a
modest scale. The Dixiecrats estimate they will need at least $780,
600. to carry on their work.
On the front page of this newspaper is carried a list of COM
munity chairmen in Holmes county who make up the Holmes
County Finance Committee.
Contact your community chairman and make your contrl-
button today.

Attention Please:
Voters Of Lexington

Voters Ut Lexington
To The Voters OF The City Of Lexington:
We Have Many Things In Lexington Of
Which We Are Justly Proud, But On The Other
Hand. We Have Some Conditions Existing In Lex
inqton Thut If We Realized The Full Import OF
We Would Hardly Believe 1t. Mean Our lncom-
pIete Sewer System.
Sanitation Is The Most important Phase Of
Our Public Health Program. Sanitation Has Been
Responsible, Probably, More Than Any Other One
Thine For The Lenethening Of Our Average Life
Expectancy, And The Reduction Of Sickness Over
The County. Forty Or Fifty Years Ago A Body Boy
Born Was Expected To Live Thirty Five Or Forty
Years. Now The Boy Has A Life Expectancy Of
Between Sixty Five And Seventy Years; And The
Girl Seventy Years Plus. This Average Has
Been Brought Up Largely By Our Improved Soni-
tution Preventing Sickness And Death Of Young
Children.
The Improper Disposal OF Human Excreto
Is The Most Dangerous Of All Kinds Of Insonitu-
ton. The Old Open Privy Is No Better Than Was
Had Forty Years Ago. The So Called Sanitary
Toilets And Cess Pools Are Very Little Better. A
Single Fly Moy C%ontuminote His Feet And EusiIy
Fly Some Distance To Your House And Poison The
Entire Family. Let's Don't Take A Chance On This
Happening In Lexington. Let's Take Advantage
And Use All Thot Science Has Given Us To Pro-
tect Our Health And Lives.
AGood~ Percentage OF Lexington Is With
Out Sewers, And So Without Proper Disposal
Of Human Exueta. This E%ndangers Not Only
Those Without Sewers, But Endangers The
Entire Town.
The City Council Has Become Sufficiently
Alarmed At The Conditions To Ask The Peo-
pie Of Lexington To Issue Bonds To Pay For
Completing The Sewer System. An Election
Will Be Held AT City Hall, September 7, To
Determine Whether We Complete The
Sewer System Or Not.
The Cost Will Be Negligible Compared To
The Good 1t Will Do And The Amount Of Sick
ness 1t Will Prevent. The Cost Is Estimated To
Be About 81. For Eoch $1,000 Assessed VoIue Of
Property, For The First Year And May Be Much
Less Thereafter.
We Who Already Have 1t Must Not Forget
Thot Those Families Who Do Not Have 1t Are
Helping To Pay The Taxes So Thut We Con Have
1t. Let's Join In, In A NeiehborIy Way And Help
Those Who Do Not Have 1t To Get 1t And Protect
Them And Their Children From Sickness And
Perhaps Death. In Doing This We Would Not
Only Protect Our Neighbors And Their Children,
But Our Families AS Well. Your Children Are Ex-
posed To The Some Insonitoy Condition As Other
Children In The Community. And. Therefore, Sub
ject To The Same Dangers.
You See Then Thot We Are All In The Same
Boot On A Stormy Sea. 1t Behooves Us To Work
Together To Make A Safe Landing By Making
Our EnvironmentoI Sanitation AS Good As Pos

Palmer Squads Win, Lose In Weekend Hoop Series

a 1-point margin at the final gun, losing 34-33. That split the series for the mems squads, for each team has lost one and won one in their home-and-home series.
 The teams were never farther apart than a point or two in that Saturday game, and until the final minute and a half, the Shamrocks topped the Imperials by slight edge. They led 1O-9 at the first quarter, 23-20 at the half and 28-26 at the third quar- ter.
 Again it was the Stewart brothers who were in the lime light, although this time they shared it with Jim Hermon. Jim dropped in four buckets in the first half from his favorite cor ner of the court. Cordova thought it over and worked out a de- fense at half-time that bottled up the clever little sharpshooter in the last half.
 Jim was rested most of the third and fourth quarters, get ting back in the game in the last two minutes of play. He failed to make a pay-off shot, however, although he was try ing desperately as the final whistle sounded.
 Bob Works Double
 Bob Stewart played more than his share of basketball in the first three quarters, and then was retired on fouls early in the fourth period. He was sorely missed in that final five min utes. Bob played Saturdays game with a bigger disadvan- tage than most of the men, for he'd been breaking concrete with a pick for an even eight hours work that day. He snatched top scoring honors again with 10 points, while Jim Hermon was close behind with 9.

 For License Purchasers

Going back for that certificate of ownership is making Valley residents beat the pathway good and deep to the doorway of Lou Henke's office, but that's one thing MT. Henke says he's gotta have before he can issue 1948 vehicle licenses to Valley drivers.
 And MT. Henke cautions that a certificate of transfer won't do the law says it must be cer- tificate of ownership.
 Licenses must be purchased at the Henke office this week for the sale deadline is Saturday, Jan. 31. The office will be open from 2 to g pm. every day ex- cept Wednesday, for the entire week, in addition to regular 9 to 5 daytime hours.

United States and Latin American
Nations-particularly within the
last twelve months. Evidently Am
erican capital is being invested in
Mexico and other Republics clear
down to Venezuela. That country
shows a friendly disposition to-
wards the United States.
Latin America had profitable
business relations with foreign
countries over the years. But those
Republics Joined the United Ma
tiOns and they have lived up to it's
highopurpOses. It's statesmen have
shown increased interest in the af-
fairs of all America. We are ma
