The MaShuIaViIIe School.

The NOxubee County Agricultu-
raj High School at Mashulaville
will open on September 10Th, and
will begin its second session under
the happiest and most favorable
auspices. The school room is a
large and commOdiOus building of
architectural beauty and with a
dOmitory capable of housing from
thirty to forty boarders afford all
physical requirements for a fine in
institution of learning. The
grounds, comprising forty acres,
will be worked by the pupils and
will be made a demonstration farm
where the students will see a prac-
teal application Of the modern
and scientific principles of agricul-
ture.
The school has been fortunate in
securing a good faculty. The
principal, Prof. Jas. G.. Chandler,
has been principal and teacher in
the Macon High School for two
years, where he made a record that
commended him highly to Trustees
Of the Mashulaville school. He is
we'll VerSed in academic learning
and is acquainted with local needs
and conditions. 4 trained expert
from the Mississippi A. & NJ. Col
Iege will be in charge of the agri-
cultural feature of the school.
Mrs. T. II. Hurst, whose worth
and excellence are such as to com
mend her to all who know her, will
have charge Of the dOmitOry. Her
presence and authority there will
go far to remove that lack of home
and wOman's influence that at
taches to boarding schools. The
friends of the school may well look
forward with confident hope of a
long, prosperous and useful career
for the school.
THE BEACON on several former
occasions, has mentioned the NOX-
ubee County Agricultural High
School. 1t can and doubtless will
be made one of the most %conspicu-
Gus as we'll as one of the most use
full factors in this cOunty's up
growth. The combination of AGA
d6mic training and agricultural in
StructiOn is a wise one. Both are
useful and both necessary to make
the most intelligent and useful cit
liens. The trustees and others in
terested in the school are to be
congratulated on what they have
so far accomplished and the people
of the county may feel proud and
confident of their county inStitu-

THE TOWN

There is much talk INDUCED in
right now about Macon combining
against the candidates from the
other parts Of the county in the
second primary and the county
people combining against the can
didates from Macon. There Is
nothing in this except that 1T IS
being used by politicians for poll
cal purposes. The great body OF
the people of NOxubee. whether liv-
ing in Macon or out of it, will pay
no attention to so fictitious an issue.
Macon is so much a part OF the
county, it's citizens so made up OF
bows and men from various sec
tions of the county, that no geo
graphical issue q consolidate
them against their boyhOOd friends
and neighbors. Every town in
Noxubee has the majority of its
business men from the country.
Our state senator is from Pral-
RE Point, where all his interests
lie, although he in person has re
sided in Macon for the last few
wears. Our chancery clerk is from
Shuqualak and Il circuit clerk
from the B~rOoksville neighbOrhOOd.
Our present sheriff was from the
northeast part of the county, our
Treasurer from BrOOkSville. Mr..
DOrroh. sheriff and then chanccry
clerk for years, came from MaShu-
laville. Mr.. Clark, sheriff was
from Shuqualak, Harden Brooks,
district attorney, was a Brooks
Vile boy, and Mr.. Allgood, coun-
ty attorney, was from Lynn Creek
and so on down or up the line.
Nothing herein is meant in any
way to dctach residents Of Macon
from Macon, but their former e
licences are mentioned to show
that politically they are to be as
much accredited to that part OF
the county whence they came AS
to Macon.
The fact is, a good man is al
ways sure of Il strong support from
his home box and from other boxes
where he is best known. That
which makes Shuqualak or Brooks
vile or HaShuqua or Paulette
stand by it's home men operates to
make Macon stand by its home
men, no more and no less. How
much of politics and how little of
merit the attempt to array the
county people against the town
people possesses is shown by the
fact-and let every man recall how
the matter was presented to him
and he will see the truth Of this
statemCnt-that the merit or fit
ness of the candidates is never
mentioned by those appealing to
anti urban sentiment.
Speaking for Macon, the candi-
dates from other parts of NOXubec
a rely on receiving as fair CON
Sideration and support as they will
obtain from any other portion OF
the county, and speaking for the
county, it is believed that it will
not be to the disadvantage of Il
candidate that he lives in Macon.
We are all from NOXubce and all
for NOXubec. Let no false pOliti-
cal issue divert our people from
the real question, a question they
are fully capable of deciding wise
~ and wcll-that is for the county
to elect the best and most effective
men.

tain manner the voters have in
dorsed Vardsmanism and all that
it stands for in Mississippi. The
result calls for no comment or
criticism, certainly no complain mt
from me.

will flow from this election | am
unwilling to say. Any Indictment
so severe I would draw against no
people, but believing in a govern

sessed and with an eye single to
the welfare of the state. I
went before the last legislature,
and later before the state eXecu-
tive committee and urged that
the primary be ordered for No
vember 1910, in order to avoid
the bitter and protracted fight

ponment of it until August, 1911

dorsement of the people of the

mary Of that year that they pre-
ferred to have another serve
them, l would resign at the first
session Of the legislature held
thereafter, so that the place
might be filled by the man of
their choice. While the propo-
sition when made applied to a
primary to be held in 1910, and
was coupled with a provision re-
curing joint debates, and while
the proposition is in no sense OBJ
ligatory upon me now, yet the
reasons given then still seem suf-
ficient.

method Of preventing ,the

and IT'S PROMISES ARE

"The trouble is that most OF
the dentists who do advertise
run their business like a hard
ware store-just hammer and
nails and tools without under
standing their uses.
There are about $4,000 dem
lists in the United States, not
nearly enough to do the work
that should be done for the
health of the people.
"As near as we can get at it,
the average gross business done
by each individual dentist is
$4,000 a year, from which, of
course, must be deducted the
cost of rent, light, heat, instru-
ments, materials.
"The dentist-the good one
can do only certain amount of
work per day. If a man could
get enough to do at $40 an hour
to keep him going eight hours a
day, he would do pretty well.
"Ours is a profession of INDI-
VIDUALITY and PERSONAL
ITY, and if any of us advertise
as individuals, each client ex-
poets the personal attention of
the advertiser.
"Now, a dentist doing a bust
ness of $50 a day gross does not
need to advertise unless he
wishes to spread his fame and
employ number Of competent
assistants.
Tt might be good business for
the successful men in the pro-
