The editor Of the Democrats Sun, in a
fit of the dumps last week gave up al
hope of ever seeing Macon a railroad
center, a factory town, and the trade
center of one of the richest agricultural
districts in the South. And the es-
teemed Meridian Star takes up the cue,
condoles with the DIS. and declares it
is all so it is just as the DIS. says, and
"a flneral association should kill off a
few score of the old fogies and persuade
their unprogressiye sons to 60 else
where.
The BEACON is glad it can see
brighter future for the old town, and in
view of the facts that are apparent to
every fair-minded man, it most posi-
lively denies that the spirit of progress
is not in evidence here. 1t is true the
progress of the town has been slow, but
it has been healthy one. Have we not
banks to furnish the farmers all the
money they need to cultivate their lands7
And this reminds us that Noxubee has
more banks than Lauderdale county.
Have not these institutions, in connec-
ton with the congresses and the oil
mills, done mach to attract trade to the
town. And there are other enterprises
which should not be left out in the reck-
oning This has all been accomplished
with one railroad.
We have strong faith in the building
of another road, which will be an east
and west line, 1t may not come this
year or the next, but that uncovered
valuable territory will some day attract
the attention of monied men, and as
Macon is near the center of the region
that offers the greatest inducements to
railroad investors, we may reasonably
look forward to the day when Macon
will be a crossroads city,
Experience has taught us, however,
that crossroads do not always build NJ
a city There are other condition:
which are just as important factors as
railroads. Take Meridian, for instance,
She has had no competing trading point
within many miles of her limits, and
the wagon trade she has enjoyed has beer
almost az great benefit to her as the
railroads. She has acted wisely in i'm.
proving the dirt roads and the small tax
she has paid has returned to her mani.

Consumption

is, by no means, the dreadful
disease it is thought to be
in the beginning.
1t can always be stopped

is; you don't know you've got
it; you don't believe it; you
won't believe it till you are

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not disease but a symp-
tom. Consumption and bronchitis, the
most dangerous and fatal diseases, have
for their first indication a persistent
cough, and if properly treated as soon
as this cough appears are easily cured.
Chamberiain's Cough Remedy has pro-
ven wonderfully successful, and gained
its wide reputation and extensive sale
by its success in curing the diseases that
cause coughing. If it is not beneficial
it will not cost yoi a cent, Sold by T.

~CENTRAL'S FUTURE.
Revival of RumOrs and Suspected
Plans.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette is reviv-
ing the m concerning the pur-
chase of the M. & st. Louis aud Iowa
Central interests by the Illinois Cen
trail, and in its Saturday issue says:
SIT is currently reported from well
informed circles that the control of
the Iowa Central is on the point of
being acquired by interests connec...
ed with the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Enough stock is said to have been
acquired to assure the success of the
transactions. 1t Is almost an open
secret that the Minneapolis and st.
Louis managers have nearly com
pleted their deal with the Illinois
Central Railroad Company and it is
suggested that the former purpose to
include the Iowa Central in any sug-
gestion that may be made. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the last named
company is virtually managed by the
M. & st. L. The developments of tho
above transaction will be watched
with interest in this part of the state,
which is expecting q big move onthe
part OF the Illinois Central in the
near future"

AFTER THE CRIMINAL,
City Council of Omaha, Neb., Offers
$2o,OOO Reward for the Cud-
ally kidnapers.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. AT a specially
called meeting of the city council, that
body Monday afternoon adopted con-
current resolution offering a reward
of $4,000 for the apprehension and
conviction of the ~desperadoes who alb
Quoted Edward Cudahy, Jr., on the
night of December IS. For the arrest
and conviction of one, the resolution
provides a reward of $4,000; for two
$4,000 will be paid, and the whole
amount is offered for the three prin-
cipals. The members of the council
did not deliberate long, and the vote
by which the resolution was passed
was unanimous.
The council also asked Mr.. Cudahy
to withdraw his offer of a reward of
an equal amount for the capture of
the criminals. The object of the city's
offer is largely to relieve MI. Cudahy
and his family of the fear of reprisals
from the bandits, and to remove from
the police and detectives the restraint
they have felt in trailing the bandits
on account of the very trying position
in which Mr.. Cudahy has been placed.
The action of the council is generally
commended by the citizens of the city.

SHOT IN THE Arm.
Roy B~aughman Meets With a
Peculiar Accident.

Roy Baughman, the IL year old %
of Mr.. and Mrs. HI. M. Baughman,
met with a peculiar but very painful
accident Monday afternoon. The boy
was in the Jacob Handler place No.
1908 B venue we st trying on a new
coat. He was standing near a window
that opened on the street. Suddenly
there was a crash of glass and the
boy grasped his arm. Investigation
showed that the lad had been shot in
the right arm near the elbow. He
was taken to DR.. Clark but the wound
is of such a nature that the ball has
not yet been removed. An investi-
cation of the accident showed that
some boys had been near the house
with a target rifle and it is supposed
that the rife was discharged accident
ally and the result was that young
Baughman was hit.
The p plice were notified of the ac-
cident and they made an investigation
of the matter. Several boys who were
seen in the neighborhood of the
Handler place will be examined. A
McGlumphy boy was called before
the mayorthis morning in connection
with the affair and there will be 9TH
ers.
The mayor states that hereafter
any boys found with shot guns or
target guns inside the city limits will
be arrested and the guns will be con-
tiscated as provided for in the ordi-
ances of the city. In addition to
this the mayor states that the firing
of guns in the city limits is contrary
to ordinance and that this ordinance
will be strictly enforced hereafter.

RULE FOR CITIES.
Philippine Commission Completes q
General Municipal Govern
ment Bill.

Manila, Jan. l. - The Philippine
commission has completed the prepare
ton of a general municipal govern
ment bill. The provisions, in many
respects, are similar to Gen. MacAr-
thurs order establishing municipal
governments and authorizing cleo
tions; but they are much more elabo-
rate, covering all details. The most
important new feature is the estab-
lishment of land taxation and doing
away with the sedula Cor head taxi,
and taxation on peoples occupations.
A feature new to the Philippines is
that the revenue from land taxes is
to be expended where it is collected.
The manner of holding elections and
the duties of officers are prescribed.
