Superior Product
And Hard Work
Spell Success
BY Hazel Brannon Smith

Some of the best charcoal
on the American market is
being produced in Holmes
County a. the Black Creek
Charcoal Company in Lexing-
ton.
In fact, the demand is in
creasing rapidly for the "Star-
lett Briquets" manufactured
at the Lexington plant situat-
ed on Highway II near Black
Creek from which the product
gets its name.
1t seems incredible to own
err Herbert Hyman and his
employees, as indeed it does
to the en- ire community, that
this thriving industry is hard
ly more than two years old
1t seems only yesterday
that the first kilns were be-
ing built to process the hic-
kory, oak and other select
southern hardwoods from
which the charcoal is made.
Today the plant capacity
has grown from eight tons to
100 tons per day. Other kilns
are being added and the dry
ing capacity of the Lexington
plant is being practically
doubled, from two to three
tons per hour at present to
five tons per hour. The kilns
operate "a hours per day, Sc
ven days a week. They have
an Unsuitable appetite for
wood - and 10000 pounds
per day is used, wood that
otherwise would be a waste.
AL processing of the char
coal, bagging and shipping, is
done at the Lexington plant.
The giant warehouse, never
yet filled to capacity, will
hold more than six million
pounds of charcoal.
The Illinois Central Rail-
road and a fleet of fourteen
trucks, three of them COM
1any-owned, keep the char
coal moving out virtually as
fast as it is completed. Ship
ments are made to every sec
ion of the United States and
he demand is constantly in
creasing. The foreign market,
90, is growing and Mr.. Hy-
nan is looking forward to a
considerable export trade in
he future.
Forty people are employed
~ the industry and as many
IS two hundred persons re-
,eive gainful employment
when the overall operation of
kilns, trucking. etc. are taken
nto consideration.
The annual payroll runs
around $500, 900 per year -
and with each dollar turning
over at least four times, it

Reupportionment

Groups Noted

The President of Mississippi
Young Democrats this week
described the Editor of the
Holmes County Herald as 4
'puppet" for Holmes County

The Grim Reaper has re-
moved another well known
neWsman from the scene in
Mississippi = and we are sad.
w. M. Lauderdale, or
Billy" as he was known to
a host of friends throughout
the state, was editor and CO.
publisher of the Leader-Ad-
vertiser, semi-weekly news
paper in Brookhaven, a COM
bination of the former Brook
haven Leader Times and Lin
coin County Advertiser. The
two papers were merged in
February of this year.
Billy was very well known
in Jackson and central Mis-
sissippi, having been a for
mer managing editor of the
Jackson Daily News before
purchasing The Lincoln Coun-
ty Advertiser. He began his
career as a high school cor
respondent for the Daily
News in 1886 and continued
that career while in college
at Millsaps, at the same time
serving on the staff of the
Purple and White.
Although only As years of
age at the time of his sudden
and unexpected death, Billy
had spent twenty-five years
in the profession he loved and
served so well.
Many persons will read
this week very carefully, we
suspect, his column, "Our
Town" which appears on page
l each Tuesday in the Brook
haven paper. Writing it was
possibly the last thing he did
in the performance of his job.
There was nothing very re-
markable in it, just the usual
things editors write each and
every week, boosting and tell
ing about the various things
that are happening in the
community = so unremark-
able, in fact, that most folks
in the community just take
them for granted, like the To-
cal scenery.
But the good editor who
does an important job well
is missed and will be missed
for a long time, Someone else
will take his place, certainly,
but not yet fer a while.
Such a man was Billy
Lauderdale.
God rest you, Billy. .

In Mississippi, as in much
of the nation, reapportion-
ment is one of the voids
where our own legislative
body has failed to discharge
its responsibilities. Now the
federal courts are breathing
down our necks = but they
will act only if our own Lee
gislature continues to refuse
to act in a fair and equitable
way.
This newspaper has long
advocated a realistic and fair
reapportionment of the Mis-
sissippi Legislature = at the
same time regretting that in
any plan advanced our own
county NAV lose some repre-
Sentation. We regret this very
much. But at the same time
we realize that a democratic.
representative government
which We claim in our repub-
lican system demands that re-
presentation be drawn from
he people = and in order to
have the representatives tru-
ly represent the people they
must be elected by them,
wherever they live. town or
country, urban or rural.
Well, if this sounds compli-
Gated. 50 is our reapportion-
ment problem.
In the plan advanced bv
chancellor Horton, Holmes
County would have only two
representatives instead of
three - and we would share
q senator with Yazoo County
instead of having one of our
own.
1t remains to be seen what
plan the Legislature will try
to put into effect. if and when
he special session is called
