Cotton Seed for Planting.

The probability Of the boil weevil
reaching NoXubee renders it important
that our planters plant early maturing
cotton. l have a quantity OF an early
variety of Cooks Improved cotton seed
for sale. Ipurchssed the seed origi-
nally from the a & NJ college. From
it | raised the first bale for 1910 in
Noxubee. The seed was planted. too.
after the frost of April oath. This
variety has been tried and approved in
this county and throughout the state.
1t is the very best. The fact that l
have sold my Boykin place and must
give up possession places this seed on
the market.
The price is 60 cents a bushel at my
gin on the Bovkin Place. SEND CASH
WITH WAGON.
This is a fine opportunity to obtain
the best seed at a price IN little excess
of ordinary seed. c.. G Clay.

AN ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.

With all Difference to the vari-
liant opinion Of Chancellor Nc
Cool, whose wisdom as a legisla
tor and ability as a jurist have
both been proven, the BEACON
must dissent from his views on
the elective judiciary, published
in last weeks paper,
The first objection to an cleo
tive judiciary is that it puts the
Judges Of our courts in politics
and amcna5le to all the influences
and considerations that officehol-
ders dependent on popular favor
are subject to. These influences
may not all be corrupt, and the
considerations not Interior in
every case, but even over the
best and frmest % men, the 81
lent and constant and unconsci
Gus dictates Of his own ambi-
ton, honorable though it be, and
of his own material interest, how
ever honest intentioned he may
be, will sway him from that alb
sOlute independence every Judge
should have, An elective judici-
airy will have the inevitable effect
Of giving men with political infu-
ence in their communities an lille
acknowledgements our courts.
The poor man, and most all the
weak and friendless man. will
not always stand, as every Amer
lean citizen should stand, on a
par with the richest or most pow
erfuI at the bar of justice,
Nor are the best men SO apt to
be selected as judges. This is no
depreciation Of the intelligence Of
the electorate, Between men
they know we'll, they can be re-
lied on to make a wise selection.
For instance, NOxubee county
would doubtless, from the Macon
bar, elect the best fitted man; so
would LOWndes cOunty's voters
from their bar. They know the
men, But what knowledge has
the people Of NoXubee Of the
lawyers of the six or eight other
counties in this district, or they
of ours. Popularity, the faculty
of winning friends, a pleasant
appearance and address, would be
more potent factors in a mans
election than those serious and
solid qualifications Of a judge that
only an intimate acquaintance
would reveal.
The very temperament and
qualities that. go to make up a
good advocate and d popular can
didate before the people, initiate
against 4 mans making a good
judge. From time immemorial
the phrases the ardOr of an ad-
vocate" and the cold impartial
ity Of = Judge" have been used to
express the antagonistic qualities
demanded Of the two. From Lord
Erskine down. great advocates
have failed to make great Judges.
The paopleoi Mississippi, along
with others o. the Anglo Saxon
race, have always preferred. when
it came TO courts, to have their
lives, rights and property ad-
Judged according to the law as it
is rather than accordingssto the IN
dividualideas of right and Justice
Of Judge, nomatter how wise and
good he may be. This is a racial
trait and shows the hard-headed
common-sense that distinguishes
the Anglo Saxon everywhere.
And the best way to obtain it is
to have the judiuiaay absolutely
independent of the plaintiffs and
of the dependents in the cases
they try.

THEIR FATHERS.
All Three Were Trimmers, but One
Was q Star.

All Three Were Trimmers, but One
Was q Star.
The story, long since familiar, of the
little boy whose boast that his father
had put a cupola on his house was
capped by his playmate, who remark
ed proudly that his father had just
put a mortgage on theirs, is brought
to mind by an occurrence which was
told the other day by prominent poll
dcian.
The small son of man who was In
politics for revenue only on moving
into q new district went out and
struck up an acquaintance with two
other kids of the same age who lived
in the neighborhood. They were in
terested in the newcomer and began
to try him out as to what his parents
amounted to anyhow.
my father is window trimmer and
an awfully big man." said the first
kid.
"Ah, that's nothin'p' said the second.
my fathers a dump trimmer. and
he's twice as big as yours"
1t was plainly up to the stranger TO
make good. And he did it with much
gusto.
my father is politician" he said,
"but heard man tell him last night
that he was the biggest trimmer In
this ward"
And it was apparent to any one that
the new kid had made a strong i'm

The Fortune That Came to q Man and

An Irishman named Whalen found
a fortune in a very amusing way.
says the Cape Town Argus. With the
savings Of his wife he bought not far
from Ballarat few acres of ground
containing water pool and a sluggish
spring. With the mud and gravel from
the bottom of the pool he made sun
dried bricks and, building cabin for
himself and family, started a bar for
the miners.
Quite contrary to their usual habits.
colony of Cinnamon living near by
commenced to visit his bar every
night. Then Mrs. Whalen discovered
that some one had bit by bit carried
of the mud pigstye and its surround
ing wall so gradually that it had al
most gone before she noticed it. Soon
the chimney and the cabin walls also
began to vanish. After a careful
watch Mrs. Whalen discovered that
while one band Of Cinnamon kept her
husband busy In the bar another band
was stealing the chimneys and walls.
Whalen knew the Cinnamon were no
fools, and, acting on his wife's sugges-
ton, he also 'stole pan Of dirt" from
his own chimney and washed it out
Then he ordered tents for his family
to live In and washed away the entire
house. 1t was literally built Of gold
dust. After that the pool and the
spring were also attacked, and the re-
suit was a big fortune for the lucky
Irishman and his cute little wife

wood Too Hard TO Burn.

There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root, but it Is
a curiosity to come across piece OF
common deal-the soft, light wood OF
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to. The piece Of
wood in question was common white
deal from Sweden, but was remarka-
BILE for its comparative weight. 1t had
formed part of boat belonging to a
whaler and had been dragged below
the surface of the water to the depth
of more than half a mile by a har-
pooned whale The length of line and
the short distance from the point OF
descent after being struck at which
the whale rose to the surface was a
proof of the depth to which it had
dragged the boat Only part Of the
boat came mp again at the end OF the
line, and it was taken on board when
the whale had been killed. That piece
of wood was so hard that it would not
burn In a gas Jet. The weight of wa
ter had compressed it.-London Stand

He was regular patron Of the res

justified in making clever remarks to
the mattresses, remarks which they
were puzzled to know how to answer.
One day, however, the smallest and
timidest girl happened to be serving
this irritating customer. and 1t fell to
her to answer him in kind.
'T'll have some steak" he said, COM
ing in late for dinner, land some
squash, and some Got some baked
potatoes, fine, brown baked potatoes?"

gazed at her quizzically.

THE PLANETS.
They All, With Their Satellites, Ex-
hibit Phases Like the Moon.

tHey ALI WIN inelr satellites, Ex-
hibit Phases Like the Moon.
We are likely to regard the moon as
the only thing in the heavens that ex-
hibits phases such as the quarter, the
half and the full. As a matter of fact,
all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases. and most of
them can be easily seen with small
power telescope. Thus Mars and We
nus, which are comparatively close to
the earth, show through the telescope
at times beautiful crescent, at others
half planet fully as brilliant, consid-
ering the distance, as does our satellite.
At times also the planets suffer eclipse,
just as the earth. the moon and the
sun, and these eclipses are foretold
with as great accuracy.
AS to just what causes the phases,
say of the moon, is easy to comprehend
by homely analogy. II one stands in
a corner of a room, places globe of
some description in the next corner and
light in the third corner the phenom-
enon Of the half moon is seen. The
light, representing the sun, shines of
course on half the globe representing
the moon. but the observer in the cor
ner sees only half of the surface to-
ward him Illuminated If now the light
be placed behind the observer and a
little above his head a full moon will
be seen, the sum-" however, shining
on the same area Of surface as before,
merely allowing this time a view from
the earth" of the whole amount of
illumination. All the phases can be
demonstrated In this manner by NOV
ing the moon" directly outward from
Its corner.
One Of the greatest discoveries of sci
ence Is due to observation Of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part, whereas by all rules of
astronomy they should have occurred
ut the same minute each time. 1t was
deduced from this that light was not
instantaneous and consequently took
sixteen minutes to traverse the diam
eter of the earth's orbit, a distance of
about 200,O00,O00 miles, thus giving to
light a velocity of 10000 miles a Sec
ond, which was accurately shown later
by other experiments.-St Louis Re

The first big case set for argument is
the dispute between the state OF West
Virginia and the commonwealth OF

the former owes the latter by reason of
the formation OF separate governments.
Charles E. Littlefeld, special master OF
the court, last spring reported that the
amount varied from about 50, 100000
to about 100000, according to the
basis that might be accepted for a set

lawyers in the country will appear be-
fore the court to argue on exceptions
to the report, which will be preparatory

Gaby Deslys Loyal to Manuel.

Vienna, Oct. THE arms of Gaby
Deslys-Gabriclle of the Lilies-are
open for Manuel, dethroned king OF
Portugal
Il had an appointment with the
king in Paris on October 16, and | GER
tainIy hope to see him there on that
date" said Portygal's 'uncrowned
queen" today.
Il shall not turn against my king in
his misfortune" declared Mile. Deslys.
"On the contrary, l shall be kinder
than, ever before to him who was SO
kind to me. shall remain in Vienna
doing my turn at the Apollo Theatre,
until the fifteenth of this month, when
l shall take the very first train for
Paris. l believe that, even now, the
king will come to me there in Paris,
where we have been SO happy before.
Afterwards I have theatrical en-
gagements in Berlin-There I am to
get $50, 900 for three months-in Lon
don, aud in the other capitals of Eu-
rope. !"
Deslys is the reigning sensation OF
the hour in the Austrian capital. The
Apollo Theatre is nightly damned with
those who would see the little dancer
who ruled an empire through its alb
ject king, and finally toppled his house
of cards about his ears.
