The Fake Dummy.

The deaf and dumb man, who was
neither deaf nor dumb, arrested here
last week was turned loose Tuesday
Instead of being desperate criminal
character it turned out that he was an
Unfortunate inebriate Of good family
and no criminal record Whiskey and
rugs had brought him down. but he
violated no law in pretending to be deaf
md dumb as he gave value received for
what money he took in.
When he went to the depot to take
the train, some generous citizen having
furnished him money to get away, he
was arrested as one of the sake-blow-
ers, But he proved a complete abb
by the sheriff and the jaiIer as he was
IN the Macon iail at the time.

The Middleman in Cotton.

The BEACON copies with hearty ap-
proval the following editorial from the
Aberdeen Examiner. The elimination
of the speculator and not of the legiti-
mate dealers in the commodity of cotton
is what it desired. Pitte1 against the
producers, the manufacturers would
have the matter in their own hands,
But with the keen business men at all
points who make speciality Of buying
and selling cotton competition will be
kept alive and the manufacturers held
to reason, both operating to the adyan-
tage of the farmers.
This is not the only instance in which
the clear and far-sighted intelligence
of the editor of the Examiner has
thrown great light on the commercial
side of cotton.
The day will never dawn upon the
elimination of the middle man and
the coming together of the pro-
Queer and manufacturer of staples,
whether in line of cereals, cottons,
rice, tobacco or meats, until com
merce and civilization perish.
Direct transactions between pro-
Queer and miller means that the
mills shall fix the price, and the
acquiescent farmer deliver the
goods. 1t is a dream of the fad
dist on the one hand, and the
scheme Of the trust and combine
on the other.
Every advance in the material
worlds betterment has been con-
ceived or developed by the middle
men, and it is through their efforts
and competing that markets haveS
been created and extended; trans-B
potation facilities established ands
improved, and the world kept hust
ling.
The scheme to bring the millions
of cotton producers of various
moods and conditions into close
trade with the millers, would, if the
thing was possible, result in giving
the whip handle to class of men
who can easily combine to regulate
prices, anu WHO, DIS SOOu buShlCoo
men have but two objects in view:
the first, to obtain assurance of
cotton enough to keep the spindles
busy, and secondly the obtaining of
raw material at the lowest price
that sustains production Z cents.
Commerce, transportation and al
most all else material that charac-
terize civilization and progress are
creations and creatures Of the mid
dlemen, and their elimination if
that were possible, would mean the
reversion of man to conditions
where the hoe and rifle were sole
dependence for bread and meat,
and life's only object.
Existing trade conditions We're
evolved from man centuries of
experiment and experience, They
are far from perfect but steadily
improve, and the proposition to
blot out the machinery of com
merce and start in on new line,
is something that those who pro-
pose today will disown tomorrow.

l. The Governor has just signed ar
agreement on behalf of the State with
the Foresty Service branch of the Ma
tional Department of Agricultural,
whereby cooperative systematic
study of the timber resources of Mis-
sissippi will be made, This is a most
important thing, and had something Of
the kind been done twenty years ago o.
more the native land owners of the
State would have realized several times
their present proportion of the timber
values of the land here. Our State has
twenty million acres in forest, and the
annual income therefrom is now thirty
million dollars, near forty per cent OF
the value of the cotton crop.

AFE-BL0WERS AT WORK.
c. P. Russell & Co. Lose Their Safe
and $l75 in Money.

Monday night about II O. cock rob
bers blew open the safe of c. P. Rus
sell & Co. at Mashulayille, with a loss
to the loss to the above firm of about
Sl75. The front door of the store had
been opened with tools taken from the
gin of Mr., w. NJ. Hunter, located a
short distance from the store. No sus-
picious characters were seen by anyone
around the village or on the roads lead
ing to Mashulaville, and up to this
time the robbery is as much mystery
as if the perpetrators had gone to the
scene and came away in an airship.
Mr. Walter Hunter, who lives about
one hundred yards from the store, heard
an explosion about IL O'Clock Monday
night. but paid no particular attention,
as he thought it was some one shooting
pistol: and the robbery was not d s.
covered until Mr. Russell went to his
store on Tuesday morning.
1t is thought, from the appearance of
the shattered remains of the safe, that
a large charge of dynamite was used
as the door was blown entirely from its
hinges. While Mr.. Russell's lpss is
heavy. he is happy over the fact that il
might have been worse, as he had col
lected Monday a much larger sum thar
the robbers got away with, but fortu
nately forgot to put in the safe anC
carried it home with him.
Robert Coleman's store was also en-
tered night and about $4 taken from'th,
cash-draw.
| A key-ring man and vendor of
clothes cleaner were in Macon Monday
and as they were seen going in the di
rection of Mashulavlie late the sam
afternoon, suspicion was directed t
them and they were arrested in Shu
qualak, but were arrested after a shor

Disposition Of Justice Gases.


Published by request.
About a year and half ago itseemed
that the circuit court would be smoth-
cred and strangled by appeals from the
justices of the peace, involving insig-
nihcant amounts.
1t is said that in one case, where the
plaintiff recovered a verdict Of one dol
lar. the trial cost the taxpayers of the
county $780, The court, in order to
remedy the evil of frivolous appeals,
adopted a rule to the effect that all APP
peals would be set for the first day of
the civil term of the court, and that as
many of them as practicable, would be
tried during the first day; that on the
End day Of the court, the circuit court
cases would be taken up, but that all
appeal cases would remain set and
ready for trial, and that if, during any
day all the circuit court cases were dis
posed of, the appeal docket would be
taken up, and that if the litigants were
not in court the appeals would be dis
| IIllSSGu. Inc ItSulI has bSSH IhoN NV
olous appeals have been abandoned, and
on Monday, the first day of the court,
the whole appeal docket was practi'
cally disposed Of.
The rule provoked much criticism al
the time of its adoption. but has beer
abundantly justified in results, and that
the courts methods are approved by
the ,peopleFgenerally is shown in The
general signing of the petitions being
circulated praying that Judge Cochran
be reappointed, those in charge of these
petitions claiming that they are signe'
by seven-eighths of the voters to whom
they are presented. The court house
officials, including the Board of Super
visors, have all signee the petitions. -
