Clark Hicks is a civil litigation attorney and Hattiesburg resident. Write him at clark@hicksattorneys.com.
The morning of January 10, 1975, began as an unseasonably warm, humid, and gloomy winter’s day. At 7:30 a.m., a school bus loaded with energetic and loud third graders departed Otken Elementary in McComb. I rode near the back of the bus wearing a light windbreaker and quietly hummed Elvis Presley songs. My dad, a huge Elvis fan, had bought most of the King’s 45s as a teenager. He packed them away after marriage until I found them and endlessly played his Sun and RCA label records on my portable box turntable.

Earlier this year, colleges in no income tax states used that as a selling point when trying to snag players in the transfer portal. Mississippi lawmakers say the Magnolia State needs to remain competitive in that arena.
In this new era of college football so heavily focused on the almighty dollar, schools in states with no income tax have sought to use that to their benefit when recruiting players.

U.S. Senator Roger Wicker carries peace through strength message to Europe.
The tyrants in China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are on the move, and their aggression makes at least one thing clear: America needs strong, reliable friends. In February, I traveled to Europe to bring a message to our most important allies. In this increasingly dangerous world, the nations of Europe and North America must stand united.

Dr. Leana S. Wen, an emergency physician and clinical associate professor at George Washington University, believes Kennedy, the Health and Human Services secretary, may seek the removal of “aluminum salts” from vaccines.

Elijah Jones is a proud Hattiesburg native who enjoys writing. Email him at edjhubtown@aol.com.
I'll never forget the first time I cast my ballot in an election. That would have been 1975 when I voted for Republican Gil Carmichael, who ran against Democrat Cliff Finch for governor. I'm sad to say my candidate lost, but I don't remember Mr. Carmichael shouting that the reason he lost was because of voter fraud.
