Party Members Urged
To Attend Conventions

Attention has been called to the
party conventions to be held during
the coming month, by H. w. Wat
son, chairman of the County De-
mocratic Executive committee.
On May Is, at 10 a. M, at the usual
voting places, each of the sixteen
precincts in Holmes county should
hold a meeting of all voters for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
County convention set for a week
later, Mr. Watson said.
Any voter can call the meeting to
order. The Convention will proceed
to elect a chairman to preside and a
secretary to record action which the
Convention takes. The selection of
delegates to the County convention
will follow. The delegate should be
requested to pledge loyalty to the
Mississippi Democratic committee
program of action.
According to Mr.. Watson, the
chairman and secretary should give
the delegates certificates of their
selection and mail a copy to the
county chairman. The number of de-
legates for each precinct is one for
each 100 votes cast in the general
election on November T., 1914. The
numbers for the various precincts
was given in the Notice of De-
mocratic Convention"
Mr.. Watson says this is a critical
and important matter and should not
be overlooked.
County and State conventions will
be May IS and June %.

head of the regional office of the
Civil Aeronautics administration in
Jackson, has been working for 6
field here, but that the hitch is get
ting interest and raising the nteded
money.
He said the reason the airfield pro-
ject of last fall had fallen through
was the selection of a site by city
officials which according to the CAA
engineer was too low" The present
strip of land under promotion is
not for a permanent airfield, it was
clarified.
Under c. A. A. regulations an air.
field must have two runways and
be 1000 feet long. The strip is the
maximum possible width. If renewed
attempts were made for a municipal
airport, plans would take time for
execution, and in the meantime the
strip could be servicing the area, it
was briefed.
e Fees Nominal
Leasing fees are nominal, he re-
ported. The land, which is owned by
Mrs. A. E. Swinney, is leased for $40
a month plus busting free, and there
is no obstacle" where the railroad is
concerned. Crop busting is done most
economically by airplane, he said,
stating that he had contracted for
400 acres even miles northeast of
Lexington last year, at which time
pasture was used for landing pur-
poses. The crop busting was done for
c. o. Sudbeck, Joe H. Moore, John
ny Bevill, and Dick Barrett, who had
obtained the best yield in the Sec
ton, and on several smaller plots of
land, according to Mr.. Upchurch.
If cleared, the strip could easily
pay" its rental, though whether we
have a small strip or a large field,
it should be a city-owned project"
he said.
Plunes May Lund Sunday
Mr.. Upchurch who has been TAX
ing flying lessons toward a COM
mercial pilots license at Greenwood,
and flying since 1888, reports that he
now has $50 hours in the air. Time
required for graduation under the
G.. I. bill is 160 hours.
Provided the weather is good for
flying, "quite a few" planes from
Greenwood and Pickens, among
which is expected to be one piloted
by John Gwin, Lexingtonian, will
land at the strir on Sunday, he said.
Aside from hopes for the Federal
project, according to Mr.. Upchurch,
all that is needed now for the air
strip are: first-contributions second
to fell the timber and seed
the ground.

The old Democratic party we of
the South have so long revered and
fought for has been usurped by poll
teal gangs willing to pay any price
whatever for control of the offices
and patronage. There is among them
not even a remote understanding of
Southern way of life and they be-
lieve that the South will vote for
anything and anybody labeled de
mocrat." This convention determined
to oppose Truman for the nominal
ton and the inclusion in the Demo-
cratic platform of any of the SO call

advocates. UNRESTRICTED electors will
be chosen.

If the Democratic party under its
new command makes a bolt away
from the time honored principles OF
Democracy it will find that the vast
majority of the South will not &c
with it but will fight for freedom of
the States as well as for freedom of
the individual. Let the States re.

1t was then that We suffered our
first bad break. Knowing that the
Cleveland club has an organized
pickoff play. We now were in the
position to expect it. We had dis
cussed the play in our meeting in
the clubhouse while the Indians
were taking their pregame batting
practice.
1t was understood then that the
Braves would not attempt any ex-
ceptionally long leads off second
base, but instead would take a short
lead and move up with Pitcher
Bob Lemons delivery.
Torgeson took his lead as in
structed, but he moved up before
Lemon made his delivery to Marv
Rickert. I warned him to be more
careful on the next play before the
Cleveland righthander went into
position to pitch. The pickoff play
was on and it was worked success
fully by Lemon and Boudreau.
This, am sure, will not happen
again as our base runners will be
more cautious IN the future.

But late last night, he said, they
were offering SO box seats for $40

On that basis, scalpers stand to
lose thousands of dollars.
