Mr.. T. B. Brame for the Legislature,

At the solicitation of many
friends Mr. T. B. Brame has con-
sented to announce for represen-
tative in the lower house of the
legislature. Though he is late
in coming out, his reputation as
one Of the leading members of
the Macon bar for years and his
eminent qualifications for the
position would naturally make
him a strong factor in the race
at any time. His qualifications
for the office is too we'll known
to make it necessary to comment
on. He is now making the rounds
with the candidates and it is need
less to say that if elected no vot-
er in the county will have to re-
pret it.

Cemetery Association.

The 1st of July ushered in the CAS-
sociational year of the Ladies Cemetery
Association, and below we publish a
report of the years work and money
paid out.
AS to the success of the association,
the cemetery speaks for itself compare
its condition at present, with that of
four years ago, and you will see what
has been accomplished. Ali this has
taken time, labor, and executive ability:
and while we are indebted to the citizens
of our town and county, by the payment
of dues, for the mems to carry on this
work, it is the officers and faithful few
who have aided and supported the presi-
dent IN every undertaking, who deserve
the credit of the marked improvement
that has been wrought.
The promptness and efficiency with
which Mrs. A. D. Binion, vice president
Mrs. j. B. Elkin, Treasure Mrs. Leon
Dent, Seceatery Mrs. John Morgan,
Chairman of Cemetery Committee, and
the various other Committees appointed,
have discharged their duties. has been
very much appreciated.
In conclusion, we would urge the lad
les OF our town if they consider this
work a laudable undertaking that they
attend the monthly meeting and thus
encourage US with their presence, and
hold themselves in readiness to serve as
officers, or on committees.
The early payment of dues for the
year beginning July the 1st will be
much appreciated.
NFa' 9 =, naa49bFb,
President.

Whatever the prevailing opinion
in regard to the assault made by
J. j. Henry upon BilbO, the BEA-
CON does not believe there is a de-
cent man in the entire State who
does not condemn the grossly vile
language used by Bilbo in his Blue
: Mountain speech. No man worthy
of the name ., gentleman would,
under any provocation, have used
such language as that attributed
to BilbO, grossly insulting as it
was, not only to the object of the
verbal attack, but to the mother
of the victim Of his abuse as well,
and language, too, used in the
presence of ladies. AS the Knox
vile (Tenn.) Journal and Tribune
well says:
Gin the speech he made against
Henry, BilbO violated the law OF
decencv and prOprietY. None but
men of low instincts would make
such a speech as he made, and on
w those Of low instincts would n
Joy hearing such a speech.'
And to quote the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal:
"In a public speech Bilbo made
remarks 'abOut Henry that were
horribly repulsive, disgusting and
shocking to all sense of decency
and refinement"
The statement of Mr.. T. G.. Low
ry, secretary of Blue Mountain
Female college, and n of Miss
issippi's purest and best citizens,
who was present when the Ian
guAge attributed to Bilbo was
made fully justiies the sentiment
expressed by the foregoing papers,
and it is not surprising to learn
that the ladies who were present
on that occasion promptly left the
hall.
Whatever may be said in regard
to the n of attack employed
by Henry land let it be remem-
bered that Henry is not a seeker
after any office the BEACON can
not see how any self-respecting
man, in a State where respect for
wOmanhOOd has ever been q cher
ished virtue, can vote for any can
didate who, in his language has
not only violated the law of COM
mon decency, but has grossly in
suited the wOmanhOOd, and espec-
tally the motherhood of Mississ-
ippi.

The Business League of Macon
is getting busy these days and
good results are bound to follow.
A spirit of cooperation is being
manifested and plans for the bet
terment of the town are under
way. Every business man in the
community, not alone in the town
is invited to join and assist in
building up our country. Macon
has splendid natural resources
and is the seat of the lest county
in mississippi, and there is no
reason why it should lag behind
other progressive towns in the
state that are so much less favor
ed in location.

OF all the incOngruities of the
present campaign that of having
Maj. Nardaman parade through
the streets of Meridian seated on
an Ox-wagOn undoubtedly takes
the premium. Why Maj. Varda-
man should have been made to
ride on an OX-wagOn is a mystery
this paper does to attempt to solve.
Certainly no one could consider it
an appeal to the intelligence of
any portion of Mississippi's citi-
zenship.
1t occurs to us that of all men
Maj. Nardaman would, of his own
vOlitiOn, be the least likely to
choose such a means of tranSpOr-
tation. In the next place no man
in the State takes greater pride in
his personal appearance than does
the major, nor can we think of any
one who is habitually more spot
lessly attired than the immaculate
Ex-Governor. Men who are accus-
toned to travel via the ox-wagon
route are not as a general thing
devotees of fashion. Then again,
we happen to remember that the
majors usual method of travel is
quite in keeping with the clothes
he wears. Previously to the OK
wagon experience the major had al
ways shown a decided preference
for the Pullman car, free pass style
of jOurneying, and men who ride
on OX-wagons are not often seen
travelling in parlOr cars.
The trnth is, the whole occasion
was the most glaring and disgust
ing piece of cheap demagoguery
ever p~erpetrated in Mississippi.
If such cheap exhibitions as that
pulled off at Meridian are consid-
cred necessary to aid the candi-
dacy of any office-seeker in this
State, then may God save the
State of Mississippi from the reign
of the demagogue.

Hepburn Waves Bloody Shirt.

Washington, July 13.-The re-
ciprocitY debate in the senate to-
day was preceded by an endorse
ment of the plea of Senator John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
for the retention on the senate
pay roll, as laborer, Of Jim Jones
an aged negro, who was body
guard of jefferson Davis.
In supporting Williams the SEN
ate overthrow it's own committee
on patronage which had recon-
mended Jones' removal. Bitter
words were exchanged between
Senator Williams and Hepburn of
Idaho, over Heyburn's character
ization of the Confederacy as an
Infamous cause
Williams, retorting, said he was
unprepared to hear that express
sion from a ''civilized man. But
for parliamentary rules that re-
strain me-" declared Williams,
Il would have a few words to say
about the kind Of human being
in whose heart such thoughts can
exist"
Hepburn acquisced in the reten-
ton of the negro on the pay roll
for services formerly given the
senate, "but not because of
loyalty to the glory Of an infam-
Gus cause"
Williams replied with great
feeling. He said Lee and Jack
son may have been wrong, but
he could not express the senti-
ment he had for a human being
in whom such sentiments can re-
main as had been expressed.
WAS it a glorious cause ask
ed Hepburn.
There was much of glory in
it," replied Williams,
He was sustained by the senate
by 80 to Is.

OUGHT TO HAVE
IMMENSE AUDIENCES

DIR. Lansing Burrows of the First
Baptist church of Americas, Ga, is
certainly a sensible preacher.
In the Americus papers of last Sat
urday evening and Sunday morning,
he invited the male members of his
congregation to attend and added per-
mission for them to remove their coats
during the services. If the church
wasn't crowded, it should have been,
and his example should be followed.
Contrary to the commonly accepted
idea, it doesn't make the average man
fear Sheol to shut him up in a coat
on a hot day. 1t only makes him
thankful to think he won't be bother
ed with clothes in Tophet.
What Is most needed, though, is a
strong man, another John crying in
the wilderness, to lead the timid men
in a strike against the ridiculous Gus
tom of wearing coats at the table in
hot weather A man with hot food in
side, and hot coat outside, might be
more uncomfortable in Hades, but we
doubt 1t. If men would only organize
and all leave off their coats on GER
tain day, and walk out of home, hotel
restaurant and boarding house if the
privilege were denied them, they would

COMING THRU THE COURTS
Proper Steps Being Taken to Decide
the Legal status of Ocaia's
Bond Election

Some of our readers will doubtless
be interested in knowing what is the
present status of the bond issue for
water works. The city attorney, c. l.
Sistrunk, with the assistance OF Mes
srs. Fl. ". Hampton and r l. Ander-
son, prepared the papers to carry the
bond issue case TO the supreme court
of Florida to get the opinion of that
tribunal on its validity.
The attorneys had certain citizens
enjoin the council from issuing bonds.
The council appealed the case to Judge
Bullock in the circuit court The court
ruled against the council and the case
was then prepared as an appeal to the
supreme court, where it now rests and
decision is expected within week
or two, before the court takes its an
nual summers vacation.
The council and its attorneys are
confident that the supreme court will
declare the election a valid one, whom
the work of disposing Of the, bonds can
| be proceeded with.
