told Mississippi editors Friday
night there is mo question
about the Russian being orbited
and the u. S. relied upon its
own instruments to come to
that conclusion.
Senator Stennis said We got
started four years late in the
space program and the fact is
we are behind the Russians in
many areas of space explora-
ton. He is a member of the
Senate Space Committee.
I'VE make a great mistake in
Understanding the Russians
ability" Senator Stennis told
the editors assembled in annual
convention at Biloxi.
"The Russians today probably
approach the project of firing
nuclear weapons from a space
Ship" Mr.. Stennis reported.
Space is the new high
ground in a military sense =
whoever controls space has a
chance to control the world. We
can stay out of the technology
of space only at the expense OF
the free world"
When confronted with the
| question of whether or not
America is to compete in the
space race, Senator Stennis be-
lieves there is mo choice"
If there were any editors pre-
sent who disagreed with the
Senator they didn't say SO -
and We don't believe there
would be many Americans to
disagree.
The fact is the people of this
nation don't want to be second
to the Russians in anything,
particularly anything that has
the potential of war-making and
destruction Or enslavement of
mankind
America and the American
people want peace with all peo-
pie and all nations including
Russia.
But most of us know that
Russia respects only one thing
- strength.
Whatever policy this country
may adopt now or in the future
must be based on strength, not
weakness.

sixty-five per cent of the funds
allocated to Holmes County

under the provisions of Section

notated.
The roads to be constructed
with funds from the bond ISSUE
would be designated by law as
provided and authorized by
chapter 1876, Laws of MISSISSIPPI
pi, 1860.
The 81, 135, 100000 asked for is
the maximum, principal sum
that could be obtained under
the law.
so Miles
1t is estimated that the ST.,
l35,000.00 issue. if successful,
will build approximately fifty
500 miles of roads in Holmes
County. There is no plan as yet
for any of the roads to be built
with the funds. 1t is not known
which roads will be built or
where.
The cost of the July 5th bond
election will be paid for out of
the county treasury.
20 Petitions

Principles and Men - Truth:
The Weapon which we use in
their defence"
A friend of ours recently
showed us a copy of The Adj
vertiser dated Friday, February
3, 1860.
The name of the publication
then was Lexington Advert
ser" without the The" which
we use today.
Underneath the nameplate,
Lexington Advertiser" at tn e
top of page one was what must
have been the slogan or motto
used by the paper at that time.
Principles and Men - Truth:
The Weapon which we use in
their defense"
Note the spelling of the word
defence" which today we usual
ly spell defense"
Since truth" continues to be
the hallmark of The Advertiser
= and today, as for more than
124 years, the people of Holmes
County continue to look to The
Advertiser for truth and to up
hold principles founded on eter-
nal truth, and in honor of our
forthcoming 125th Anniversary
Edition we are today adding
again the 100-year-old slogan to
u nameplate.
We deem this especially ap-
propriate inasmuch as truth is
under attack now more than it
has ever been before in our his
tory.
Today The Advertiser con-
tinues to uphold the eternal
principles upon which our So
ciety is based - the only eff
fective way to protect and de
fend the rights of the people =
and truth remains the weapon
we use to defend them.
Truth is not always popular
or appreciated. 1t can be tenn
porarilv twisted and distorted
to suit the purpose of dishonest
men and tyrants = but it is the
only thing that will ultimately
prevail.
