RANCID FAT?

(From Mrs. L. H. M, Washington.)
Would some one please advise
me to what use I could put 80

than making soap. This is not

margarine was in a wreck and
some one who picked up quanti-
ty gave me this.

Wolfe Pleads For E|edors 10
Vote For Best Qualified Candidate

Carrying his campaign for Con-
gress into Holmes county, State
Senator Oscar o. Wolfe, Jr. APP
pealed to the Independent voters
to decide the Congressional race
ION the ground of which candi-
date is better qualified to be Unit
ed States Representative and not
merely by mutual friendships and
a desire to be neighborly."
Mr.. Wolfe visited a number Of
the communities in Holmes coun-
ty in an effort to consolidate his
position in the run-off primary
September IL.
81 have had an ambition for ten
years to 60 to Congress, but have
never been willing to enter the
race against my esteemed friend,
Will Wilmington. But | have
been constantly equipping myself
for broader public service in the
national Congress when the OPP
p~ortunity was to arise" declared
Mr.. Wolfe. He said that it is now
granted by all that Oscar Wolfe
has the qualifications for a Con-
gresham, but his opponent says
that he is now too old to go to
Washington. "Such a charge
| comes with poor grace from my
Leflore county opponent when 1t
is realized that Will Wilmington
has been reelected six times since
he attained the age of SO years,
my present age. Surely my op-
| ponent must know of the ex-
tremely useful and valuable SER
vice Will Wilmington has given
to the people of this district the
last Is years. AS a matter OF fact,
the national House of Representa-
| tives is a body of mature men who
are daily making decisions vital
20 u national life and having
great impact upon the world
| events. Youth is the exception,
not the rule, in this great deliber-
| alive body"
Mr.. Wolfe said further: u
want to go to Washington to serve
your interests on the home front
without delay. am intimately
familiar with the technique OF
lawmaking, both in committee
Ind on the floor of a legislative
forum. l want to work now for
the people of this district. AS FOL
the matter of seniority, am moi
interested in going to Congress
and simply drawing a handsome
salary of $4,000 a year OF the tax
PAYERS money for an indefinite
/, time to get promoted to a higher
place on a committee of Congress
| That is definitely not my idea OF
public service, nor do think the
American people anywhere look
upon the office of a Congressman
in such a light
In concluding, Mr. Wolfe sale
that he was asking for election or
a basis of two years. THAT VII
be the term of my contract, ane
if then you are not satisfied witt
the lob I have done for you,
would not expect to be continued
in office" Wolfe stated.

To Discuss Future
Of Slaughter Beach
Continued from nrst pager

During the 1949 session of the
State Legislature, bill was intro
duced and passed to supply funds
for the purpose of blowing sand
into the jetty areas already con-
structed for the purpose of build
ing up the beaches and safeguard
ing them in future storms. During
the summer months, an attempt
was made, with what residents of
the beach called a waste of time
and money, to use a small dredge,
taking the sand from the bars in
front OF the beach and blowing it
into the jetty areas. This was
abandoned after about three or
four weeks.
Now they want this money ap-
prOpriated for the purpose of pro-
tecting the beach, used because if
it is not used before June of 1851.
it will be returned to the general
fund Of the State.
Many thousands of dollars in
damage was done to the beach dur
ing the most recent storm of a few
weeks ago and residents and prop
erty owners there know, that un-
less something is done of a lasting
nature, that another storm will be
disastrous.

few attaches and officers-such as
a secretary-are required no at
tempt will be made at permanent
organization.
If a minority floor leader is Sc
lected-and even that was doubted
it will be on a temporary basis.
Favored for that spot on a tempo
rary or permanent basis is Senator
Thomas E.. Peeney, of Wilmington,
a veteran policy-maker, although
never before a member of either
house.
1t is possible, in the event that
Senator Peeney should decline, that
Senator Ernest E. Benger, of West

in the last session, would accept
the post for the special meeting.
After the luncheon at the Dinner

Ex-poIiteman Admits
Abuse Of Prisoner

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (NNPA)
Doyle Mitchum, 24-year old ex-
policeman, once acquitted of a
murder charge in the death of a
young colored prisoner, admitted
last Thursday that he beat the
man with a rubber hose and a
stick.
Mitchum voluntarily appeared
in the Federal District Court here
and pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him and another
Lafayette, Alabama, policeman,
James R. Clark, with violating
the mans civil rights.
The officers arrested Willie B.
Carlisle, 18, last February 18 be-
cause, they said, he let the air
out of a tire on their police car.
The prisoner died of severe head
injuries.
Indicted on murder charges in
a state court, Mitchum and Clark
pleaded innocent, contending that
Carlisle died from a fall. A Circuit
Court jury acquitted them after
a one-day trial.
When Mitchum pleaded guilty
to one of two counts in the indict-
ment, Judge C. B. Kennamer post
poned imposing sentence until
Clark is tried on October 80. Max
imum sentence is year in prison
and a $1,000 fine.
