Wilson Seems Worn out.

That Secretary Of Agriculture
James Wilson has outlived his
usefulness to the country seems
more and more apparent with
every developing incident with
which he is connected. The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch gives the fol-
lowing interesting editorial on the
secretary Of agriculture and his
department of our government:
1t looks as if the department of
agriculture had outgrown Secre-
tary Wilson. A vastly more com
prehensive and responsible
branch of the public service than
it was when the venerable incum-
bent took charge of it fifteen
years ago, it has apparently be-
come too big for the man.
Neither the Pinchot nor the
Wiley affair has reflected credit
upon the secretary of agriculture.
Upon the contary, they have
been alike in raising a question
if the department is as we'll ad-
ministered as it should be. Both
the forestry work and the pure
food and drug work and are
branches put forth by the depart
ment was in the earlier years of
Secretary Wilson's incumbency
accustomed to dealing. 1t is not
to his credit, nor does it argue a
growth in his own executive abil-
ity commensurate with the
growth of the department that
the two most aggressive and use
full men developed by the forestry
and pure food and drug work
have both been attacked from be-
hind.
Bureau politics and intrigue
have crept into the department
of agriculture. Mr.. Pinchot was
compelled to look for encourage
ment over the secretary's head,
and DR.. Wiley testify that in his
from the decisions of the
loaded food and drug inspection
board he was never once sustain
ed by the hesd!ef the depaFttment,

FROM THE PEOPLE
Farmers Union for Good Roads.

To The Honorable T. r. Carroll, Circuit Judge
of the 18th Judicial District:
AS a result of a discussion of
the subject Of good roads, at a
meeting of the Noxubee County
Farmers Union, held with Shu-
qualak Local on August 4th, 1911,
We. the undersigned were ap-
pointed a committee to confer
w tn you at the present term of
Court, and whereas we lbeiieve
t2at nothing is more generally
needed ir Noxubee County than
good roads.
And whereas we further believe
1t IS Wilfully and hurtfully neg
lected to such an extent that
many of our roads have gone
down so that little wet weather
will render them almost impas-
sable even in the summer,
And Whereas, we do not be-
lleVe the dreadful condition of
our roads are attributable to our
present system of road working
as some claim, BUTTS due to the
fact that road overseers are not
doing their duty as the law re-
quires that they should do,
And Whereas it has been re-
Deatedly said that if the Grand
Jury were to indict a road over
seer, that you could not get
jury to sustain the Indictment,
And Whereas, we do not believe
but what we have a better class
of citizens than would purger
themselves 20 shield a defaulting
road OverSeer,
And Whereas, we do not mean
to centure or in anyway reflect
upon OVerseerS who are trying to
work their roads, but we would
positively and persistently fix the
seal of our disapproval on such as
are not doing their duty.
Therefore, we the Farmers
Union of Naxpbee County, in con-
ge1tlan aassealhEeeddl assaNabEleed respectfully |

To Preserve Confederate Relics.

To Preserve Confederate Relics.
Editor of the Beacon
wish to make few suggestions to
the Camps of Confederate Veterans of
Noxubee County.
NV dear old Confederates: We have
done nothing as yet to preserve our
hallowed memories and glorious his
tory of the past.
Pardon me for suggesting that we
have a vault prepared incased in blick,
cement or marble and place it in the
Court House Square or on some public
highway. In the same deposit roll of
all the members of our camp since its
organization; and some history of the
justification of our course during the
sixties: and all relics that we may have;
also the photographs of all members
with biographical sketch on the back
of each photograph writ n with ink.
And that the U. D. C's be invited to
join in with us in depositing anything
they wish. Let the vault be so marked
that relic hunters can only examine and
replace. Something on the order of
Shakespeare epitaph that he ordered
to be inscribed npOn his tomb
'SGoodEfriends, for Jesus sake forbear.
Blest be he who spares these stones;
And cursed be he that moves my
bones."
If it had not have been for this in
scription his bones would have been
moved to Westminster Abbey long ago.
We see that they have now Cromwell's
skull on exhibition disputing about the
Identification. The Egyptian mummies
are being taken from the tombs and to
museums in all parts of the world.
This is very wrong.
We think this need not cost more than
$1OO or $3.50.
If you approve of these suggestions
let it be known through the paper.
Yes, comrades, let us do or leave some
thing that will tell of us for ages to
come, and now, many are in the twilight
of old age. In our lean and slippered
pantloons sans teeth, sans taste, sans
sight, sans everything that ends this
strange, eventful history. For it will
not be long before the last of us will
cross the bar and meet his pilot face to
face. Exit l.. E. EILAND.

In 1000 cases McCabe, the soil
citor of the department, evident
ly placed where he was as check
upon Wiley, voted with that
sometimes pure food and drug
zealot but once. Usually" says
Wiley, 'Dr. Dunlap and McCabe
both voted against me, leaving
me in the minority"
Does Secretary Wilson want the
country to believe DR.. Wiley is
right only about once in 1000
times? We can not believe that
he does. The country is not so
easily fooled, and it has conf
dence in Wiley, just as it had in
Pinchot.
1t has not, however, the same
confidence in Secretary Wilson
that once it had.

When Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gauls for
Rome, what was the first thing
that he did to make them feel at
home! Did he increase the peO-
ple's lOands and liberty forbid.
No, he dug in and built good roads
that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
upon the foreman's breast or did
he try to make them feel the Ro-
man rule was best? What did he
do to make them glad he'd come
their midst amid? He built good
roads in place of bad-that's what
old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill to
hill, good roads from vale to vale;
he ran good roads movement till
old Rome got all the kale. He
told the folks to buy at home,
build roads their hills amid, until
all roads led up to Rome--that's
what old Caesar did.
If any town would make the
town the center of the map, where
folks will come and settle down
and live in plenty's lap, if any town
it's own abodes Of poverty would
rid, let it get out and build good
roads just like old Caesar did

August 22nd started out with
great threats of hard rain but
after light shower the weather
cleared and about 1850 voters out
of a possible 115O, went to the
polls. The sheriff's race showed
the most legal votes, 1897, and
was very close, the winner
beating his opponent by only Is
votes. The closest race was be-
tween Minor and Jenkins for
third place on the Legislative
ticket, Minor winning by a ma
jority of only 5.
For while it was thought to
be tie, but tn e correction Of the
Lynn Creek returns as phOned
in gave Minor 5 lead and count
of the contested votes made no
change.
The Executive Committee had
a trying time over the question
whether or not a recount of all
the ballots should be had. This
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-08-25

was only demanded by Mr.. Nc
Clure in the Sheriff's race. He
specifically stated that he made
no charges of fraud and distinct
ly did not believe any wrong had
been done by Fany one but that
thirteen mistakes or more might
easily have been made in count
we'll over 1000 votes. When the
committee finally decided not to
recount, he very gracefully yield
ed the point and congratulated
his opponent,
This question of a recount by
the Executive Committee was
threshed over two years ago in
a Macon primary. Practically
everybody believes that the Exc
cutive Committee ought to have
the power to recount but the
stronger opinion is that law does
not give them that power.
The tabulated result was as
follows.
