The Teachers Institute.

Noxubee County was most fortunate
in securing Prof. Boyd Of Kosiusko as
Conductor of the County Institute for
white teachers that has been in session
at the public school this week. When
Mr.. Boyd opened the institute there
were only seven teachers in attendance,
but with his usual Enthusiasm and de.
termination to succeed he opened cor.
respondence with every teacher in the
county, and only nine were absent from
his institnte. The institute was charac-
terized by great interest all the way
through, and is the best the County has
had in years.
Right here we wish to say that Prof.
Boyd Of Kosciusko for State Superinten.

States educational advancement for

Mr.. Boyd has been Superintendent of
schools at Kosciusko for ten years, and
his success has been nnequaled in the
history of the State. We learn he has
been employed for two years more at
the largest proportional salary of any
Public School man in the State. Prof.
Boyd is well known in this section, and
known for his firmness of character and
the purposefulness Of his work, He
stands at the top among School men.
He is a man of high culture, and above
all man who will throw the whole
strength of his personality in the de-

kind of man we want to represent Mis-

On last Saturday night lamp ex

two other lamps in town exploded, we
hear of numbers of such accidents in the
county This drives us to the conclu-
sion that we ought to have a better
grade Of coal oil. All oil sold in the
state of Mississippi should be inspected
by coal.oil inspector, and last session
Of the Legislature H. H. Brooks Jr,, "a
representative in the Lower House from
this county, introduced bill providing
for the inspection of cjal-oil which car
red with it the endorsement of Prof.
Hutchinson Of the A. & M. College and
Doctor R. w. lone of the University Of
Mississippi. This bill was also recon-
mended for passage by the entire Judi
ciary committee of the House. 1t fail
ed in it's final passage, by one or two
votes after being up for consideration
for several days. Mr.. Brooks tells us
that he has no idea of giving up the
fight for coal-oil inspection, and he is
now preparing coaloil inspection law
and in the furtherance of this, is in cor
respondence with Doctor Jones, chemist
Of Oxford and Professors Hutchinson
and Hand of the A. & M, College, with
view Of simplifying the method of in.
spection of coal-oil to such an extent
that almost any body can determine
whether or not it is first grade oil with
out being an expert.
With few exceptions every state
in the Union has coal-oil inspector.
We hope that the Governor, in his'mes-
sage to the Legislature in January will
recommend the bill for passage :

The BEACON notes with approval
the efforts the City authorities are max
ing to have the sidewalks of the City
put in something like presentable shape.
This is reform" which Macon has long
needed, and we want to give it our un-
qualified approval If you note that
a man keeps his lot Uttered up and
dirty, or woman fails to sweep and
clean her house. you are not apt to
form very high opinion al the. ability
OF that person If strangers come to
Macon and see her streets; ;and sidewalks
worn full OF holes and washed full Of
gullies. Macon's reputation as pro-
gressive town suffers.
The Board of Alderman have recent
ly passed an Ordinance under which
they have authority, as laid down by
the Supreme Court. to force the con-
struction Of proper sidewalks. The
Board has deemed it fair to property
owners that they should have an op.
portunity to repair and rebuild their
walks, before the City itself takes a
hand, and for that reason due notice
has been published that this must be
done. We note, however that a num-
Der have ignored this notice. and the
only thing for the Board to do is to con-
struct the proper walks and assess the
expenses as charge against the prop
erty, The Supreme Court says they
have the authority to do this.
Aside from their duty as the repre-
sentatives Of the people of the City to
put the best foot forward" and adj
vances the interests Of the City. in this
matter of sidewalks there is a further
duty on the Board Of Alderman which
the average citizen never takes into
consideration. If there is a hole in any
sidewalk in the City. and person falls
into it and breaks limb, the owner OF
the sidewalk is not answerable in dam
ages, but the City of Macon is 1t is
therefore the duty Of the Board repre-
senting all the people, to have all side
walks kept in repair
We have noticed that the sidewalk
and street critics Of Macon belong to
the same class to whom the Biblical in
struction as to the. proper method for
the removal of "motes" and "beams'
was addressed. Listen to the man who
is loudest in his denunciation Of other
peoples walks and the streets of the
City, and the chances are, if you care
to investigate, you will find his own
sidewalk sadly in need of repairs.
The Ordinance referred to requires
the laying of concrete walks in the bus
mess part of the City, and gives speci-
fcations by which they must be built.
The walks in the residence part Of the
City must be put in good condition.
We believe the Ordinance would have
been better If it had required concrete
walks, or a strip three feet wide, to be
laid all over the residence part of the
City. But first the burden would have
to be made equal by establishing walks
on both sides of all streets.
As the Ordinance stands we hope to
to see it rigidly enforced, and it GER
tainly behooves some of our property
holders to construct the walks, or the
city will be forced to do it. Let's
have some good walks, and lets have
streets Of which we can be proud.

Editor East Mississippi Times.
In the wars of recent date vince
lS61-65, the histories and news
papers are full of great losses
sustained by the troops engaged
| in battle: and are unstinted in
their praise of valor, bravery and
sacrifice of soldiers. The world
stands almost appalled, at the
greet loss of life in the battles
now being fought between Rus
sia and Japan; so great that every
one applauds the effort made
by President Roosevelt in bring
ing the ambassadors together at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire in
an effort to bring about peace
settlement.
1t has occurred to me recently
in contrasting the losses with that
of our great war "bctween the
states" to bring out some facts
illustrative Of the terrible strug-
gle of 1876; so that our young
people may see their ancestors in
war we're as brave as the bravest
and they have handed down to

The letter of Gen. Stephen D..
Leein the East Mississippi Times,
is an eloquent tribute to a regi-
ment essentiallyytypical of the
rank and file of the Confederacy.
Certainly no one can read this
story Of their deeds will give to
the hcroism of Japan a higher
place than that won by our fa-
thers. The University Greys, the
the Van Dorm Reserves of Mon
roe and Noxubee Rifles were with
the Prairie Guards in the I 1lth
Mississippi, and the people OF
Noxubce should treasure the his
tory of their heroes, for they
fought with more than Spartan
courage, they endured hardships
with more than Roman hrmness,
and they faced the deadly fire of
artillery with the fanatic inspira-
tion of the Jap. AS stated in
Gen. Lees article, 300 pieces of
artillery played on the 18th Miss
issippi in charge up Cemetery
Ridge for one whole mile, Mead's
division being led by Pettigrew
of South Carolina. Jno. T. Nor
gan Of whom mention is made in
Gen. Lees article, is a citizen of
this county, living in the Lynn
Creek neighborhood and we have
often heard his comrades speak
of his fearlessness in battle.
In the memories of ourVeterans
lies a history that is priceless and
those who are to be with us only
a little while should write the
story CT their deeds and that OF
their comrades, and these stories
should be read at the meetings
and placed in the hands of Dun
bar Rowland, that the deeds OF
Noxubee's heroes should be
chronicled with the heroes of the
State.

/. THE BEACON has at last secured a
classically correct definition OF the
mosquito which is causing all of the
trouble The Hon Charles Strong has
informed us that the derivation and
meaning Of the name is as follows:
"Stego" means stick" "Myia" means
''me,' and "Fasciata" means easy, 3"
from the Latin "Facilis" Therefore
the name "Stegomyia Fasciata" means
'stick me easy" He further explains
that this name was bestowed on them
because the female alone causes the
trouble, and it has reference to the
traditional ease with which the femi-
nine portion Of the human race can
''stick up" the men and get what they
want
