Not Il Pleasing Reflection.

In recent address to the Illinois
Legislature Hon. Joseph G.. Cannon,
Speaker of the House of Representatives
said:
Whenever you or whenever any State or
States fail to exercise your proper jurisdic-
ton and seek to unload upon the federal
government that which the States should do
for themselves, you are surrenderng that
much of jurisdiction, and, IN my Judgment,
it is not a wise surrender
Mr.. Cannon has doubtless seen how
Maryland Ill or about 1927 abdlcated and
invested its State sovereignty i'll the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
SO completely was this done that State
courts still feel bound to overturn any
and every legislative enactment which
contra venes in whole or in part the great
Legislative surrender" of 1927.
In this connection it may be stated
also that there has been much school
talk of Maryland neglect of Maryland
preservation and study of Maryland
early history, but if the courts reading
be correct, the history of the State since
1927 has been the history, of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company.
Hence, let us rise and sing
The despot's heel is on thy track

Not a One-Sidcd Matter.

Not "A One-Sidcd Matter.
Baltimore newspapers are this legis-
lative-electing year unusually sore over
alleged advantages the counties ENJOY
from city-taX incomes.
They argue upon premises that imply
that the city is pretty nearly the whole
thing.
But the facts are that without the
counties Baltimore would make a poor
show as a town, much less city.
Without the continuous flow of county
production to swell Baltimore-city prof,
its and promote BaltimOre-city growth,
there would not be divergent cent to
quarrel over.
All that Baltimore has been, is, or
will be, has, is and will be due to its
predominance over the counties as Il
trading mart.
With the city's thousands of drum
mers ON the road in the counties, each
trade and city business.
Otherwise, there would he no drum
mers
Now tell US how many drummers the
counties have in Baltimore seeking Bal
timore custom
If there be any, state how much city
patronage of any kind they are getting
for county goods:
Not a cents worth.
All the counties have in coal, wheat
etc, goes to Baltimore by the law of
railroad gravitation, and i'll the exchange
which follows Bai'imorc prices r"I" on
both sites
Hence, AS mere trader and handler
of produce and goods Baltimore makes
t"o profits out of the country people
who do the producing.
Let it be admitted, then, that i'll only
one respect it happens that compare
lively small one, Baltimore gets the
lighter eud OF the bargain is it not too
small a business for big, boastful city
to kick because it does not get the big
end i'll al the distributions?
But the newspapers are i'll earnest
about gobbling the only little advantage
the counties have-that little mainly
devoted to the promotion of popular
education.
They want D,orf city representation
i'll the Legislature, and urge that
stranger men be sent to the Legislature,
IN effect, to compH REIMBURSEMENT of
absolutely the only inequality of gov
ernmental profit that exists to the
detrlment of the city.
In the interest of Baltimore wealth
the counties educational dividend, one
of the very few tangible blessings State
government confers outside the cities
this dividend is a fraction that must be
''reduced to It's lowest terms.
We say-in the interest of Baltimore
wealth. because that element wants
more money for popular education with
out contributing more for it.
To meet the pretensious set up for this
grab i'll the name of equality the
JOURNAL hopes the counties will send
representatives able, strong and brave ;
men who cannot be bamboOzled out of
the only little interest their constituents
own in the firm of city and State.

Senator McLaurin has received a let

saying that this States representatives

those who wish to be examined for that
service appear in Washington for that
next examination, to be held on July
9th. Brandon News.
The Clarion-Ledger prints the above
to call attention to the Discrimination of
our people to stand civil service exam
nations, and as result negroes from
this State are getting most of the
places than come under civil service
rules. Our people refuse to stand these
examinations and then abuse the gov
ernment for appointing negroes to Of

Noxubee Cotton Report.

The following is the report of cotton
conditions in the Times-Democrat of
last Monday which contained similar
reports from all the cotton growing
states:
/. Taking into consideration land not
planted this year land, planted and not
replanted with cotton when the first
crop was killed, and poor stands on land
replanted, it is estimated that as COM
pared with 1906 there is decrease if
cotton acreage in Noxubee county on
from rs to 80 per cent.
Q. The character Of the stands IS
generally bad Few places have fine
stands, good stands are uncommon and
very poor stands numerous. The stand
is estimated to be 80 1-3 per cent. be-
low par. Replanting has been neces-
sary all over the county. Many have
had to plant three times and some even
four. Noxubee has planted her 1907
cotton crop IL times,
3. The insufficiency Of labor is nc
greater than usual, except that the
trouble is aggravated by the increased
need consequent upon the doubled work
of planting and the necessary haste in
which the work should be done.
4. S me 20 per cent of the land orig
inally planted in cotton is now planted
with other crops.
5. Our cotton growers are still hope
full of a fairly good crop, subject tC
discount from above causes if favora-
Bile weather conditions prevail the RES
of the season.
Hon. j. Q. Poindexter, who was il
Macon this week, when interviewed re
garding the above report, expressed
the opinion that the decrease in acre
age was over-estimated, he thinking i
was but little over ten per cent, arr
that the insufficiency of labor was mucl
greater than usual even after allowing
for the special extra work required b
the replanting. Many other prominen
planters in the county agree with tn
figures given in the Times-Democrat
The report, in fact, was based on tn
figures given the Supervisors at thei
last meeting.

Important Educational Changes.

At meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees held at Jackson on Thursday, June
18th, Hon. H. L. Whitfield was elected
to the presidency of the l. l. & c, the
position made vacant by the elevation
of..President A. A. Kincannon to the
CHARACTERISTIC of the State University.
Now, the office of State Superinten-
dent of Education becomes vacant and
for that place, doubtless, there will be
lively contest among several proml-
nent educators of the State. The
BEACON would be pleased to lend its
support to Prof. J. C, FAINT, Superin-
tendent of schools at Meridian for this
office but it is reliably informed that
his aspirations do not tend in that di-
rection.
Among the probable candidates fol
the State Superintendent are Prof. j,
N.sPowers, Supt. of Schools at West
Point; E. L. Bailey of jackson; c. E
Saunders, of Greenwood; G. F. Boyd
of Kosciusko; and H. P, Hughes of Nc
Comb City.
This office by reason of the interes
of the people in the public schools ant
the great development of States edu
cational system has become one of thu
very first Importance in Mississippi anc
its occupant should possess scholar
ship, leadership and character of tn,
highest order
In considering the aspirants for thi
office, THE BEACON knows no worthie
man than Prof. j. N. Powers of on
neighboring little city of West Point
who is well-qualified in every way b.
native ability, training, and experience
We people of Macon and vicinity wi
remember pleasantly Prof. Powers a

memorial address in Macon last Apr
on the occasion of the decoration of tn
Confederate soldiers graves.
