RUsso.ENeLIsH TREATY.
chIna's Attitude Toward Thlbet Pos.
sible Stumbling Block.

London-There seems 10 be no
doubt now that the Russo English
treaty will be signed In a few days.
The only point still in dispute is Rus.
sia's interest in ThIbet, but no appre-
hensIon is felt on that score. The AT.
ghanistan and Persian questions have
been solved and the treaty is expected
to become effective between July 10
and &c.
The attitude OF China regarding the
Thibet question may cut some figure
in the final settlement. Quite recently
the governor general Of Sze-Chuan,
Hsi.Liang. established in Cheng.Tu n
school TO teach the Thibetan language.
Just before leaving the province he
said in an address to the faculty that
Thibet formed the natural fOrtificatIn
for the western border OF China, but
that on account OF the ignorance and
primitiyeness OF It's people this west.
ern border was in imminent danger OF
invasion.
China Is now preparing 10 send
teachers who speak the language OF
Thibet TO that state TO educate the
people In commerce and the use OF
arms. The establishment Of railroad
connections is also being considered
atsPekin.

foundation, in fact, for any such rumor
or belief. | am making the race for

hard in the United States court to set

against C. o D, shipments of liquor;
and there are others.
Who is being fooled by Mr.. Brewers
alleged championship of the people
against trusts and railroads? These able
and astute lawyers and politicians or the
plain honest people of Mississippi.
But for the people of NoXubee all other
issues are small beside the one inyolv-
ing the cutting in two of our school
fund. We owe too great a duty to our
children and the future of our county
which depends upon them to hesitate
where their education is involved,
In our educable children lies the hopes
of future years. Let not Noxulee
county be recreant to this trust. Vote
for your children if you be IA poor man; vote
for your neishbor', children II you are rich. Voc
not for Noel or for Brewer-vote for the chill
dreu for No1ubee.

Home Standing.

A good test of mans real worth is
how he stands in his own county. Of
course many men vote for him simply
and solely because he is a home man,
but!still the test is good.
In his county of Bolivar in the first
primary Scott received $50 votes against
1872 for all other candidates for COVER
nor combined.
Noel in his county of Holmes received
HOS votes against 600 for all other can
didates combined.
Brewer in his county, Coahoma, re-
ceived 379 votes against 1852 fora Other
candidates, Scott alone receiving 1926
votes, and Scott was Brewers most
hated opponent.
Thi, is insignificant. however, in comparison
with nhe fact that if Brewers platform is cal
ried out, NOxubee's School children will get only
half as much schooling as they now d.

Vardaman's Friends Beware.

If Mr.. Brewer is elected governor he
will use all his appointments and Unfit
ence to assist Senator McLaur,n in be
ing reelected. No friend of Governor
Vardaman, who hopes to see him in the
United States Senate should vote for
Brewer.
But worst of all, Mr.. Brewer would cut in
half the sum NoIubee receives for the education
Of her children.

The One Issue.

Mr.. Brewer might have written the
balance of his platform any way imagi-
nable but so long as he, or any other
candidate, favors the distribution Of the
school fund on the basis of the number
of electoral votes and not on the basis
of the number of children to educated,
the BEACON is against him There is
no other question for the people of Nox-
ubee to consider,
Her school children must not be robbed.

Noxubee's intelligence.

We people of Noxubee long have
been pleased to consider ourselves one
OF the most intelligent constituencies
in a particularly progressive and intel
ligent Southern State. This mental at
titude though pleasant, and in our
county's case justified by the facts, has
sometimes its dangers. And it would
be very intelligent thing to do right
at this juncture to review our recent
history and examine whether or not we
have always intelligently used our men
tai eminence, and secured for our cour-
ty and her citizens those honors and re-
wards she and her people and their in
telligence deserve.
Prominent and distinguished as Noxu-
bee has been among the counties OF
Mississippi, never has she held the
highest positions politically in the
State, and not for twenty-five years
and more has she had State Office held
by one Of her citizens. Such honors
and the profit that goes with them have
always gone to other and not better
counties, to other but not better men
than Noxubee county can furnish. Elk
cepting the school fund and the pay of
legislative officers things that every
county has and none can be denied) Nox-
ubee county has not, and has not had
for more than quarter of century, a
single man on the States civil list,
and draws no money in salaries to her
citizens from the State Treasury.
State institutions, too, have all been
established elsewhere though no better,
healthier or pleasant location can be
found in the State. So much has Nox-
ubee gained politically and no more.
There is reason for this state of af-
fairs and the reason is very plain. In
voting in State contests our people have
let their intelligence rest while their
enthusiasm worked overtime. Some
other sections has furnished the candid
ate and we the votes. We. have beer
the "Hurrsh Boys" and whooped it W
for others benefit. Alive have gotter
is the joy of half of us Growing over
the other half of us whose candidate
lost out-that and THANK you, my
noble friends, | shall er.forget how
you stood by me-" We have been the
easy marks" the good things" In
the political game we have we have
been what the professional gamblers
call "the producers, meaning those in
no,ents with an enthusiasm for the
game who work and earn real money
and thereby keep the game going. We
have little fun and that's all.

that the McLaurins dropped Judge

to the first primary, in order to prevent

Hence, no true friend of either Scott
