Just Kind to Boy Prisoner And
Banker Morse Is Sent To
Cooler" Now a Wreck =

deputy warden saw the bill passed
from Westmoreland to the boy
and asked where he got it. West
moreland said Morse had given it
to him. Morse was sent for. He
had SAC and refused to tell where
he got 1t. The deputy warden or
dered him to "face the WALL" a
punishment dreaded by all pris-
oners. Morse refused and he was
sent to solitary confinement and
put on bread and water. When
he came out of the Cooler fis
mustache was shaven off and he
was reduced from first grade to
second grade prisoner. He went
to his cell and collapsed and had
to be carried to the hospital.
Prisoners were shocked at his
ghastly look when Morse came
from the solitary confinement. He
had aged 15 years. Feeling was
so high against the deputy warden
that the prisoners were almost
ready for a revolt.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 10
President Taft is convinced that
Col. Roosevelt is planning to be
a presidential candidate in 1912
and he is determined to give the
colonel clear field. The presi-
dent does not want a second term.
This information came from an
authentic source.
1t is stated that Taft will not
move against Roosevelt, no mat
ter what tactics Roosevelt may
adopt. He regards the colonels
activity sorrowfully, not angrily.
The president has been advised
that the administration has not
been advertised properly, and
what it has accomplished has not
been brought to the attention of
the people vividly enough. A
press agent has been recommend
ed. Taft was unconvinced, how
ever, and the soft pedal" policy
now in effect undoubtedly will
continue.

yesterday handed down his decis-

the Tacoma Railway & Power
company and the Puget Sound
Power company to prevent the
county treasurer from collecting
taxes on the assessment made In
1907.
When Harry Railsback took Of

as other property is assessed, He
put price on the franchises they
held and he doubled UP their
taxes In a way that made the

In other words, the administra-
tion is ready to recognize the pro-
gressives as members of the par
ty and treat them with the same
consideration that the regulars
are treated. The announcement
was made today that this attitude
had been determined on.
To Keep Party Together.
1t is believed that the patron-
age restoration is merely an indi-
cation that the politicians close
to the administration have con-
cluded that IL the party is to be
united and the differences be-
tween insurgent and regular end
ed so that the party can present
united front at the coming cleo
ton something must be done
quickly.
The determination of the presi-
dent to deny patronage to pro-
gressive senators and representa-
tives which was reached early In
his administration has been one
of the causes for discomfort on
the part of the insurgents. Ac-
cording to the insurgents, this
move by the administration was
an effort to read them out of the
party, and after it became known
the disputes between the two
factions became more bitter.

Another feature of interest to
the farmers and dairymen of this
county is the work being done by

Noxubee. From time to time MI.
T. W. Baker of the State A. & NJ.
college visits dairymen here and
inspect their herds. His work
consists in testing individual COWS
with a Babcock testers which
shows the percentage of butter
fat. For example, if a COW gives
100 pounds Of milk in II week
Analysing four per cent of fat, she
produces 4 pounds Of butter and
is Improbable.
The owner is advised to sell her
for beef and rid his herd of a "rOb-
ber'' COW. The idea is to enable
the farmer to select COWS giving
large yields of milk high in but
ter fat. This important fact has
led some of our farmers to find out
the improbable robber COWS and
replace themwith better COWS. This
important work in addition to
general inspection along the lines
of feed, and breeds, growth of
forage crops and ensilage has aid
ed many of our farmers.
In addition to this we have our
tick eradication, which judging
from reports from other states, is
bound to help boom Noxubee.
Our soil survey is completed and
in a year it is expected 10, 600
copies of a book and county map
will be sent out describing the
great natural advantages of our
county.
It seems that Noxubee is being
especially favored by the State
and National government and the
BEACON sincerely wishes that our
farmers will take advantage of all
this great aids to an enlightened
agriculture.

The above is the closing para
graph of the leading editorial in
the Ripley Sentinel of last week.
1t is another of those inuendo
attacts upon the defeaters of ex-
Gov. Vardaman.
Instead saying "a well known
lawyer, why don't the paper
come out and make it's attack in
the open-give the name of the
''well known lawyer" It would
be much @ manly and have
more the appearance of truth.
Sad is the condition of the State
when the character of no man
is above being reproached be-
cause he exercises the right to OPP
pose a certain individual for off

During the past few weeks the
Ripley paper and others of its way
of thinking have had much to say
abont printing things for "'pOliti-

qnoted is evidence sufficient that
that is just what that paper is do
ing. The editor does not believe
that any lawyer-either a ''lead-

any such proposition to any mem

Judge Minor Withdraws

The Hon. Fl. d. Minor has with
drawn from the race for re election
as judge of the second division of
the chacnery court for Shelby
county and the expiration of his
present term will accept the ap-
p0intment of assistant general SOL
icitOr of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroad. Chancellor Min
or only reached this decision yes
terday. He Immediately wrote a
card, amounting his withdrawal
from the race for reelection.
+ Judge Minor was without oppO-
sition in this race heving been
nominated in the April primaries
over d. w. DeHaven. He has
held his position a little more
than a year, having been appoint
ed to the office in May, 1909, by
Gov. Patterson, after the estab-
lishment of the second chancery
court for this county.
Chancellor Minor is regarded as
one of the best lawyers of the
Memphis bar. He is a MISSISSIPPI
plan, and a member of a family
known throughout the South,
After coming to Memphis, several
years ago, he became a member of
law firm of Metcalf, Minor & Met
calf, with which he was associated
until his appointment to his pres
ent position.
Judge Minors appointment as
associate solicitor for the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley system
came about in part through his
solicitude for the appointment of
a friend to the same position.
Speaking of this fact, Charles N.
Burch, general solicitor for the
railroad, with whom Judge Minor
will be associated, said:
''Judge Minor called upon me
in my office not long ago to urge
the appointment to this position
Of a friend of his. When he left.
| began to think over what he had
said to me concerning his friend,
and the more I thought about it
the more I was impressed with his
own qualifications. I decided that
he himsels was the man I would
like to have associated with me.
and soon afterward recommended
his appointment as associate sole
itOr."
Mr.. Burch spoke in the highest
terms of his admiration for Judge
Minor, and expressed his pleasure
in the fact that he is soon to be
associated with him.

SENAT DANIEL.

In the death of Senator John
W. Daniel of Virginia there pass
es away one of the very finest
types of the traditional Southern
statesman. In character, attain
ments, habits, manners, looks and
birth he embodied the moral,
mental and physical qualities that
a generation ago were the ideals
of Virginia and the whole South.
So well did he typify the older
regime that his passing away
seems to mark the passing of an
epoch.
Able, scholarly, eloquent and
brave, and of stainless honor, ne
well represented in the august
Senate of the United States
the Old Dominion Of Virginia.
AS a lawyer and a law-writer his
fame was international, exceeding
that of his father ana gfand-laCn
or, both of whom were distinguish
ed in the same fields. AS an orator
he had few equals, and his rank
as a statesman was high. But it
was in his character, both public
and private, that Senator Daniel
best represented the Old South.
He was the soul of honor and
faith, and in an era when greed
and commercialism infested high
places and tainted the very air OF
the nations capital he lived a life
aspure as that of Washington OF
Lee, and was hOnOred of all
men in their hearts.
