Deoth OF The Dogs

He was a beautiful white and blue English Setter with soft
blue eyes, his long silky alag" waved proudly over the sage fleids;
Still fast in spite of his age his wide nostrils scented the singles
as well as the covies and he retrieved perfectly. He was a saIe
playmate for the children and they loved him, as did his master
and mistress. A good dog in the family is next thing to children.
A recent morning the mistress saw him coming home in evident
distress. His legs gave way and he dropped at his favorite rest
ing place in the yard. She thought he had been hit by a car. me
poor dog wrhhed in silent agony, his paws moved stiffiy, his head
drew up until it touched his back, the muscles OF his abdomen
worked spasmodicaly, gathered in knots and the cramps rolled
along his bowels, his suffering was intense for fifteen minutes
a ~shuddering breath and he was at ease.
1t wasn't long until his brace mate, another valuable Eng
lish setter, was found, still warm, stiffened in agonlzed death.
A pair of smooth, clean, rangy pointers die in excruclat-
ing pain. They belonged to another family.
A little pet house dog of a neighbor picked up some OF the
bait, endured the torment and was buried with it's mlstresses
tears. =.
A staunch and fine Llewellen setter fell a victim to that
sure death dose.
Altogether some twenty dogs have been murdered in Lex
ington. 80
For those who can only understand losses in terms OIL
money it may be stated the actual value of the dogs was not less
than 100000.
All were poisoned in a savage and painful way.
All the dogs were playmates of their families. Many Oh
them loved their dogs greatly.
One who has never known a pet has missed some OF the
best things in life. A faithful, loving intelligent dog is tops Tor
companionship. It is hard to believe that anyone other THAN q
vicious savage man would put out poison promiscuousiy.

OF West, are among the many farm
ers in the county who have found it
profitable to utilize this type land
for grazing purposes. They have
found that much of this improved
pasture land, which was formerly
non-productive, is now producing an
average of from 100 pounds to zoo
pounds of beef per year. At existing
prices this means that land once not
in production is now producing an
annual income of between $500 to
$4,000 per acre.
Practically every farm in Holmes
county has certain acres that should
be planted to kudzu or serecia les.
pedeza. Included in these areas are
the steep barren hillsides, badly erod'
ed plots, and the extremely poor
acres that + not capable of sup.
porting useful vegetation. Both kud
zu and serecia provide excellent
grazing and hay crops and are con
sidered one of the south's finest ero
sion control and soil building crops

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, retiring chief of staff, has
performed another great service to his country.
He has sounded the note of warning that if the Mediter-
ranean nations should lose their independence to totalitarianism
that war would be close to the United States.
The great General outlined what he believes this country
needs in the military to survive until world peace becomes a reah-
ty. Foremost among those needs is universal military training.
spread all over the world for occupation duty, is too weak to do
much fighting.
Our present security measures are inadequate and unless
remedial steps are taken, the Army may, in crisis, prove
too weak for its defense mission. Military weakness on our part
cannot be hidden"
He added that would-be aggressors do not balk at war
they merely fear defeat.
"Our task is to convince any possible aggressor that he can
choose war only at the risk of his own destruction" he said.
In speaking thus Gen. Eisenhower has performed anotner
service to the people of the country. =
One of the supreme functions of a federal government Is
to provide the defense of the country. This is one thing the fede-
raj government must do private enterprise cannot handle
this job. 49,.
The fact that this country has never been ready to fight a
war is an indictment against our national Congress whose res
possibility it lis to see this country is properly defended. The best
the Congress has been able to do thus far seems to indicate that
we may be ready to fight the last war that we are always
late in preparing for the next one. -.
Congress seems always to be behind public opinion and IN
the matter of universal military training maintains its RECORD.
Public sentiment has long been overwhelmingly in favor OF uni
versal military training but our Congress has played pohtl-
cal football with the measure disgracefuly refusing to en-
act needed and wanted legislation. Il
Now as never before do we need statesmen in our national
Congress, men who will enact into law measures to protect ana
safeguard this country and it's people. National defense Is no
small matter and should not be dealt with lightly.
Gen. Eisenhower's warning should be needed by our Con-
gress without further delay.

In a letter to the Advertiser Presi-

Less "~Informotion" Needed

Senator John C. Stennis voiced in a speech Friday Ito
Mississippi Democrats gathered in a mass meeting at jackson IN
response to the call of Governor Fielding L. Wright) the wish for
a true voice of the south" to tell the nation the truth about Mis-
sissippi and the south.
Sen. Stennis said he thought if the people of other sections
of the country could just know us as we are and understand our
problems that we would not be subjected to so much criticism
and which seems to prevail when Mississippi and or the south is
mentioned.
Our Junior Senator might as well be wishing for the moon.
In the first place those persons who are writing and talk
against the south are persons who are not particularly interest
ed in understanding the south they are interested in SEN
sational stories, a headline or a hair-raising news cast or an at
tention-getting picture. They do not have the interest of their
country at heart much less the south.
Another good reason the people of the United States have
a hard time getting a true picture of political developments is
the fact that the Executive branch of the federal government en-
ploys $4,000 press agents and publicity men. % 900 of these high
ly trained and skilled newspaper men and women work full time
for the government, the other $4,000 part-time.
The 1916 expenditure by the Executive branch of the
government for publicity and information was $75,000 600.
Seventyfive million dolarsi
1t is no wonder that whenever any action or policy of the
Executive branch is attacked as arbitrary or violative of the rights
and interests of individual citizens that we sec q large number of
these highly paid publicity experts in "press releases which
"sen" the governments side of the question to the public
against the citizen and taxpayer.
In giving the federal government money to pay these in
formation specialists and publicity experts our Congress is giving
it a powerful weapon to WELD over the heads of the American
people using the peoples money to stab them in the back.
Our Congress should be more careful with the pursestrings
of the national treasury.
The public needs "1ess" information of the kind dished
out by Washington experts waxing fat on the federal payroll.

GueM GAzaMol
The Vote Protector


From The Chicago Sunday Tribune February s, 194S)
President Truman has asked congress to enact a law "pro-
tectlng more adequately the right to vote. HE says he wants to
insure that the right to vote in elections for federal officers shall
not be contingent upon the payment of (poD taxes"
The sincerity of Mr.. Trumans message can be Judged best
by examining his record. He started his career and achieved his
present emlnence under the auspices of the Kansas City Fender
CAST machine, which thrived on the abuse of the right to vote.
Stolen votes elected him to the senate in 1884. One of his first
acts on entering the White House was to pardon Pendergast ma
chine leaders convicted of vote frauds.
In 1916 his Kansas City gang used vote thievery to purge
Mr.. Truman's enemy, Roger C. Slaughter, from the house of rep
resentatives. When a Jackson county grand jury indicted 80 per-
sons for those frauds the gang blew a safe in the courthouse and
stole the evidence.
Until his poll tax message to congress, Nj Truman had
never spoken out for protection of the right to vote. On the con-
trary. he took the senate floor in 1888 to make a scathing attack
on the federal grand jurors and judges who sought to make vot-
ing honest in Kansas City.
If Mr.. Truman is looking for places where the right to vote
IS abridged, he does not have to go as far as the poll tax states.
He can start in his own home town.

Conservation Notes
BY A. p. CARROLL

Never before has the need for
carrying out sound conservation
farm practices been SO great with the
farmers in the hill section of Holmes
county as today. Due to the fact that
this is an agricultural section better
farming practices should be institut-
ed as a means of improving the soci-
al and economic welfare of all the
people.
The farmers are doing a good job
of row-crop farming the acres now
in cultivation. However, production
on this land can be increased up to
200 to 800 per cent by practicing
crop rotation and by using more
commercial fertilizer.
At the present time there is only
a limited supply of commercial fer
tilizer but by alternating close
growing crops such as lespedeza and
other legumes with row-crops in.
creased production will be noted
| Also, this will aid very materially
in conditioning the soil, adding much
needed organic material, and increa.
| Sc the nitrogen content. An album
| dance of organic material added to
the soil in the form of green crops
! and ~barnyard manure will increase
the effectiveness of commercial fer.
tilizer up to rs per cent.
The major problem affecting these
| farmers today is the failure to pro,
perly utilize what is essentially non.
productive land. This non-productive
land accounts for more than one,
half the total acreage of the farms
in the hill section. 1t is either idle
growing broom-sedge, or scrubby
trees. Ninety per cent of this non.
| productive land is capable of makins
| good pasture under proper treat
ment.
If this land is correctly utilized
most of it would be in pasture. trees
or perennial legumes such as kudzl
lespedeza serecia. These practice.
are being carried out by all farmer:
in this area practicing a balanced
farm program.

The first celebration of Negro

celebration was of such interest that
it has been nationally recognized by
all thinking negroes.
Negroes have been making contri-
buttons to this country from the very
beginning. Some of the first came
here not as slaves but al explorers
who were skilled in craft and work
manship. However, the fact remains
that in early art, literature, science,
music, sports, discovery and inven-
tions there was a marked degree OF
African culture.

Milland acquired both of these accom-

Today he is an American citizen. No
Englishman has ever tried harder to rid his
system of lime juice. Few people think of
him as being British. He rarely plays the
role of Britisher; his accent is almost i'm
perceptible. He is California booster, an
unabashed American fag-waver
~Think I'm CxAxy?'
During the war he entertained American
soldiers overseas, being then eligible but not
called for service in the British Army. This
was at time when the USOCamp Show
activities of movie stars were under fire.
A belligerent CT hurled the question direct:
why aren't you in the Army" Milland
was not even momentarily embarrassed.
What, with war going on? Think I'm
crazy?" The retort made him popular
throughout the Pacific.
He is not generally popular. Too reserved.
He has the reputation of being cold, when
he is, perhaps, merely absent-minded. Like
most egocentrics, he tends to divide the
world into the people he likes, and the
people he doesn' like. If he likes you, his
loyalty goes to extravagant extremes. If he
doesn't, you are cooked.
His indifference to casual acquaintance
makes him appear rude - he's been known
to read the newspaper at party. But he is
warm and generous with his friends.

unfounded rumor that the role was true to

to ordering ginger ale at cocktail parties.
