Coincident with this information

will bring the Chihuahua garrison up
to 5000 or more men.
The insurgents realize that with their

they have no chance against the fully

the situation reached the White House.
From the latter to his considerable re-

that Japan was not to have the sta

pan es will have an exhibit at the fol-
lowing fairs:
Tri State at Memphis, Tennessee;
Alabama-Mississippi at Meridian;
Alabama State Fair, at Birmingham;
Georgia State Fair, at Macon, Ga;
Appalachian Expedition, at Knoxville;
Land & Irrigation Exposition, Madi-
son Square Garden, N. Y.
At all these Expositions the company
desires to make a very creditable show
ing for Noxubee County. If 1t is. there
fore, desired that as many exhibits as
possible be submitted by the farmers
of said county for the several shows in
question.
The company desires exhibits in alfal-
ia, broom corn, bermuda grass, grapes,
honey, Johnson grass Lespedeza, NELL
lotus, oats, potatoes, both sweet and
Irish, pumpkins. peaches, pears, pea
nuts, soy beans, sugar cane, sorghum,
vetch, and cotton.
Already quite a number of farmers
and business men have started to pre-
pare exhibits.
These exhibits will be shipped to the
general office at Chattanooga, Tennes-
see, and there the very best Of each ex-
hibit will be culled and prepared by an
expert for the various shows. The
cream of all the exhibits will be taken to
Madison Square Garden. At the Madi-

thousand prizes have been offered for
the following:
Cotton, apples, corn, alfalfa, pota-
toes, wheat, wheat No. 2, Foats. The
railroad company is very anxious to
bring some of these prizes to the

Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-21

Last week the BEACON gave
brief editorial comment on the
Henrv-Bilbo incident from two
of Tennessee's leading news
papers. We quote below an edi-
torial from the New Orleans Daily
States edited by Col. Robert
Ewing, democratic national COM
mitteeman for Louisiana which
we submit for the careful con-
sideration of the decent voters
of Mississippi:
We do not wish to ppear as meddling
in the political affairs of a sister state,
but we cannot help expressing the
opinion that the election of such a man
as Bilbo to the lieutenant governors
office, with the probability that the
accident of death might elevate him to
the governorship would be a calamity
to Mississippi.
If Mr.. Bilbo made use of the language
attributed to MIN in his recent Blue
Mountain speech, and it seems he did,
he is not entitled to any SYM a J forth
the awful thrashing he received at the
hands of a man whose mothers honor
and chastity was SO horribly assaulted.
The language as set forth in the report
is so unutterably vile and insulting that
the wonder is that Bilbo was not shot
to death. Nothing like it has ever been
heard before anywhere or in any politi-
cal campaign or earth, and it wrote
down the man guilty of it's use as an
~unspeakable wretch who should be
barred from all association with decent
people.
The idea of honoring such a man with
a high public office is preposterous, and
the good people of Mississippi owe to
themselves and their own s~elf-respect
to bury Bilbo in the obscurity and the
disgrace he merits and forget him for
all time. 1t is idle for his friends to
claim that he was provoked by the
scurrilous circulars published by Henry,
because no provocation could Justify
the filthy character Of the attack he
made on the innocent mother of the
man who offended him.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-21

We are glad to note that Mr.. E.
D.. Cavett has at last gotten the
Confederate Vetern to publish
the photograph of his worthy old
commander, Captain Charlie
Thomas, and a short sketch of his
life. Captain Thomas assisted
Captain Jake Macon in raising
the Jeff Davis Guards. which be-
came Company A, 10Th Missis-
sippi, and served in that COM
mand in Virginia, until he was
desperately wounded at the Sc
cond Battle of Manassas. Cap
tain Macon was killed at William
sburg and Captain Thomas be-
came captain and commanded un-
til he was wounded, as above stat
ed. Being unable to continue
infantry service, he raised a COM
pany of calvary and served with
tnat company throughout the
war. Captain J. R. Prince. one
of the most gallant men that wore
the gray, testified at his burial
that he was one of the best, if not
the best soldier that left old Nox-
ubee for the war.
MI. Cavett has been trying a
long time to get this honor paid
his old Captain, but on account of
the limited space in the Veteran,
he has been unable to do so un-
til now. This is a worthytribute
to a worthy soldier, and we, are
glad to know that he has received
this honor,
