WEATHER.

Cooler, except on coast.
DUST THRowERs.

The American people have always
nursed the genial assumption that they
were pretty nearly the smartest things
in creation and there has been more, OF
less, justification for the appropriation
of the idea in general sense. They are
keen. bright, receptive, original, and
successful. but, on the other hand, they
can stand more fool dust in the eyes,
considering their normal alertness than
any other people on the earth. The in
dividual American, or the associated
group with definite business program,
is hard to over-reach, but the communal
host, the electorate, the masses" as
they are called, are eternally wiping the
dust of some rank humbuggery from
their eyes; clearing them for the next
batch of binding imposture that i'm
pends. 1t is a raw history, this amenity
to the hoax Of the hour; this everlasting
submission to the crooked, the deceptive,
the alluring fraud; this patient gulping
of glittering hooks of shame and sham.
The commerce Of the country, especially
the corporate phases of it, are abso-
lutely based on the pliancy of the people,
their inane disposition to be played. And
it is time they were awakening to the
utter folly of it all. The dust -thrower
is always at work. He never rests. He
is at the elbow of the councilman, the
legislator, the trustee, the man of the
people, the man that has the place of
choice and control. and his impalpable
weapon is ever in the air. besetting the
ear and eye of those who do the will of
the people. There is gradual, and
growing recognition of the evil, even
now and it may be hoped the bald
claim to national smartness may find its
real expression in the newly acquired
faculty of detecting the plausible bluff
before, instead of after, its operation in
the undoing Of the people.

self, to his everlasting honor. The man
who could devise so vast an amount to
such splendid purpose, must have been
inspired with something beyond the
mere itch of grabbing in the
handling of the tremendous properties
from which he acquired his wealth; and
the one great fact that he set such over
weening store upon the value of educa-
tion and provided for its dissemination
just where it would do the utmost pos
sible good, may be counted on to make
his name and character synonyms for
the future benefactions of men similarly
placed. The world at large may con-
gratulate itself upon the superb gift thus
thrust upon it, even while it honestly
deplores the death of the man who gave
it.

we know, is no older than she looks
certainly she is no older than she looks
to her husband. So long as she is young
in his eyes she is safely within the
limits.
"She knows how to cook" says the
young husband. coming to more prosais
defense. "She knows how to wash, iron.
mend clothes and keep house, and that's
more than a majority of the young girls
of the present day know"
Youth fades. Love very often cools in

1t sometimes takes a good deal Of
remodeling to make successful farmer
out of a city man, for a good living is
not made SO easily on the farm as some
of our city cousins imagine. The farm
er must contend with problems of soil
and seasons never just alike. 1t costs
money to study, and it also requires
much labor with the hands to grow a
profitable crop or a fine herd of cattle.
The successful farmer learns in the
school Of experience, mostly, how to deal
with living, growing things. And while
he is educating himself he pays dearly
at times for mistakes, before he becomes
qualified for farm life.

The widespread scandal anent the

its inevitable and justifahle result in the
commercial barriers raised against IL

countries. While the restrictions are
perhaps, inspired in the competitive
business circle, the broad ground Of the
utter unfitness Of the product of the
American slaughter house is ample pre-.
dicate for its application and will be so
considered the world over. The lesson ia
obvious!

inal courts of Noxubee county have
been broken by the term now draw

Cochrane In selecting his grand jury
was as effective as it was unique, and
proved to be the key to the situation
The personnel of the jury could not
be surpassed, seach seeming to be

the outset appeared to be permeated

At the outset of the court the par
ties accused began to fight their
cases, but the juries seemed imbued
by the same enthusiastic desire to
cleanse the county that the verdicts
rolled in guilty, guilty., guilty, until
hope was lost. A negro woman went
to one of the attorneys and asked
how to plead guilty She said she

TIE LAW: GOOD
AND Rad FEATURES.

The laxness OF the courts of to-
day IS largely responsible for the in
crease OF crime. The kid glove law
breaker, who can WELD an influence
n his community has no fear of our
Juries OF the Judge upon the bench.
Many, while the court IS in session, IL
eheir own city, continue their daily
acts Of lawiessne5s and know nightly
the workings Of each days session of
the County Grand jury The case
Of the Haggerty, Deggs Hartly trio
OF Memphis proves this and shows
what harvest OF crime and murder
any city can expect to reap some
day, unless the laws of state arg

The Beacon believes there has been

All the judges findings showed

One of the most notable facts con-
nected with a country newspaper of
today is the large increase in the
amount of advertising of local bust
ness houses. The change has taken
place gradually, and has been marked
especially during the past year or so.
1t is highly significant, and an inqui-
ry as to the cause of it is of great
profit, not only to those in the news
paper business, but to every business
man and citizen of Our town as we'll.
The change, in brief, means the local
merchants have found it necessary to
call attention to their goods because
OF the immense competition they
face, the most deadly element of
which is that from the great stores
of the large cities. These great es-
Establishments advertise their wares
most lavishly, and the metropolitan
newspapers which contain their adj
vertisements are distributed over the
country, some one paper of which, en-
tersnearly every home. The result
is that these metropolitan establish
ments have built up an immense man
trade In our town, and indeed in
most OF the towns hereabouts, there
is no occasion for this out-of-town
buying. The duty of citizens in the
matter is plain, and where other
things are equal, support should be
given local dealers. Our merchants
have invested their capital, have erect
ed buildings, which are the pride of
the town, and have established con-
Germs which are almost metropolitan
IN character. They have built up our
town, and it is only fair return that
they have the towns trade, to turn,
trade otherwise, even in the line of
small purchases which are great in
the aggregate, is to invite the decline
of property. values in our town.
