The General Committee on Arrange
ments for the grand political rally to
be held in Macon on July 28th, when
the campaign of 1911 closes, earnestly
desires and requests the hearty assis-
tance and cooperation of every man,
woman and child of the Macon Dis
trict in making success of the occa-
sion. The county has an honorable rep
utation for hospitality and Macon is
not behind the country districts in the
possession of that virtue: We do not
want the idea of letting other people
manage the affair keep a single resi-
dent of this district from helping all he
or she can. This is all our business
and we want all to attend to it, The
28rh should be a day when Macon has
the whole county as its guest and en-
tertain our fellow-citizens with royal
honors and hospitality. In another part
of this paper there will be found the
various committees to which our people
can report.

FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor Beacon.
On the first day of August 1911
the people of the county will be
called upon to exe1 else one of the
aighestfnfunctiops of citizenship,
that is to elected members to. the
House of Representatives, and al
so to elect a State Senator of Nox-
ubee County, as we'll as to elect
all other officers of NOXubee
County that will serve in their
respective capacities for 4 years.
1t is especially important that we
as people should be extremely
careful as to who we send to the
Legislature for the next 4 years.
The next Legislature of Missis-
sippi will be called upon to deal
with some of the greatest prob
lens that any Legislature has
had to deal with since the war.
We must not loose sight of the
fact that that body will be con-
fronted with a strong attempt to
cut down the representation of
this county in the Legislature,
and also the matter of cutting
down the school appropriation,
which has been Noxubee County's
portion since the Constitution of
1890 In order to present this
from being done, it is the duty of
the peol le of this county when
they come to cast their vote for
an officer of this kind. to ask this;
The question is, Is he capable;
Has he experience, and is he able
to cope with that class of men
that necessarily South Mississippi
will send to represent her in that
body, which representatives are
going to use all means honorably
to attain that end. South Miss
issippi is sending the very best
educated and intellectual men to
her legislature, and we cannot
cope with them. We must send
a delegation to the legislature
that would reflect credit upon the
people that they represent, who
have knowledge of the reasons
why the status of Noxubee
County was placed as it is at pre-
sent, and who can give some rea-
son in the committee-room and on
the floor of the house, as to why
it should remain as it is at the
present time. We need men of
fighting parliamentary ability.
AS to which among the candi-
dates is best capacitated to fill this
position it is up to the people to
say.
The above are only two Of the
many great questions that will
come before that Legislature for
correct solution.

Vardaman and His Accusers.

Vardman's champions ask why,
if the white Chief" is guilty of
so many naughty things, his op-
ponents do not have him indicted? ?
In the first place his opponents do
not have the slightest desire to in
flict him with fines, cost, i'm
prisonmert or attorneys fees; in
the second place such an attempt
would find him in many instances
under the protecting wings Of the
statute of limitations; in the third
place, the arraignment is not for
purpose of inflicting personal
punishment but with view to pro-
tecting Mississippi from what is
believed would be ignoble repre-
sentation in the United States
Senate.
On the other hand, if these
charges are not we'll founded
why do not Mr.. Vardaman and
his managers swear out warrants
alleging criminal libel against the
orators and journals that are
uttering or echoing them. and
compel them to prove them or
stand convicted?
The answer is apparant: They
cannot risk perjury in making
aff1davits for warrants, and in
the second place if they could
find any one to do the prelimiu-
ary swearing it would result in
bringing out just what they are
dodging, the proof. for when the
courts call for books and papers
the doors of the bank vaults turn
nimbly on their hinges, and filed
papers crawl reluctantly out of
jealously guarded pigeon holes.

DIVIDENDS FOR CATTLE OWNERS.
Tick Eradication Shows Immense Bene-
fits In Remarkable Short Time.

During the summer of 1910 the
people of Holmes county voted in
favor of tick eradication work, but
actual operations were not started un-
til February of the present season.
The County Board of SunervisOrs
appointed four local inspectors to CO.
operate with the State and Federal in
spectors in February and business was
started in earnest.
One hundred and fifty-two cattle dip
ping vats are in active operation and
practically all the cattle in the country
have been dipped in arsenical solution
every two weeks; in consequence, the
ticks are almost exterminated and the
State and Federal Bureaus of Animal
Industry have granted permission for
cattle to be shipped from Holmes and
other counties of the state in which the
work has been regularly conducted, to
any part of the United State, at any
time of the year and for any purpose as
free cattle, when handled in accondnce
with the modified regulation of Mississ-
ippi Live Stock Sanitary Board.
1t is estimated that the increaced
valuation of every load Of cattle ship
ped from Holmes county this fall will
be $4,000.
Let every county in Mississippi join
in the state wide fight against the tick.
1t pays to raise clean cattle.
Build dipping vats and dip your cattle
in Arsenal solution. Apply for bullitins
and blue prints of Dipping watts.

The playing of brass bands, the
parading of clubs, the shouting of
hundreds of enthusiastic support
ers, the apparent endorsement of
respectable people are all mighty
nice, but they do not and cannot
make an honest man out of dis
honest one.
AS stated above, the cold hard
facts still stands, not one charge
has been refuted. Not one of the
eleven question has the "Great
White Feathered Chief'by seventy
of our citizens has been answered,
unless his statement that they are
all dam lies, and that those who
asked the question in a respectful
manner "were the paid tools of the
Slander Machine in Jackson" can
be called the answer.
Both his followers and all other
citizens of the State are still in
densest ignorance as to what be-
came of the seventeen hundred and
fifty ($175O.OO) dollars he drew
from the contingent fund in one
weeks time in 1906, as to who
loaned the Bryan fund to, as to
why he kept it so long after he
retired as Governor, as to why it
cost him $125 to make the trip
that Governor Noel made on 81
as to what became of the $1,000
that he did not turn over to those
in charge of the relief work at

Grand Rally at Macon.

A number of citizens of Macon
district met at the court house
Monday morning and proceeded to
make arrangements for entertain
tain the candidates and the citi
zens of the county generally on Fri
day, the 23th of July, when the
Grand Rally of the 1911 campaign
will come off at Macon. Mr.. Har-
den Brooks was made chairman of
the meeting and Mr.. Henry Minor
secretary. On motion the follow
ing gentlemen from the various
parts of the district were named as
a General Committee: Messrs. Har-
den III. Brooks. Jr., Morgan Adams,
Paul Augustus, M. c. Weyburn
and G. G. Thompson. These gen.
tlemen are to appoint all other
committees and to have general
supervision over the whole estfair.
The making a great success of this
entertainment of this district was
discussed and that it will be sue
cessful goes without saying. From
those present most liberal contri
buttons were made. Later on in
week the soliciting of money and
provisions will be brought to the
attention of all patriotic citizens by
the committee men of their neigh
bOrhOOds. By a formal resOlu-
tion the earnest assistance of the
ladies of the district was requested.
When the general committee has
named all it's committees the de-
tails of the affair will all be ar
ranged. The other districts have
done exceedingly we'll in their en-
tertainments, and Macon being the
largest district and the central
one much is expected of it.
A nice honor was paid Mr..
Brooks by the meeting insisting on
his being Master of Ceremonies of
the 28th, and he was nominated
and elected such.

law was enacted, Sec. l of which
(Sec. 7429 L. o. L. provides that:
ANY and all person or persons who
shall hereafter as subcontractor, ma
terialman, or laborer furnish to any
contractor to any railroad corpora

shall do or perform any work or la

The lien provided for in this act is

under the general law of 1885, and
! it is contended by defendant. (1) that
the act of 1885 does not authorize a
lien upon the property of a railroad
company; and (2) that if originally
it had that effect, the act of 1889
operates to repeal or supersede the
former law; and these are the only
questions raised by the demurrers.

A Peoples Charter.

Ed. Journal:-There is some vital
questions to be considered in draw
ing up of the plans for a new city
charter, that it may be acceptable to
the people and if it is not so drawn
and worded, and given full publicity,
it will meet the same fate that the
bridge bonds received, in the last
two elections. The people want to
know how the city is to be run,
whether in the interest of the people,
by the city, or to be let out to con-
tractors, who will bring in a lot of
dagoes to do the work that by right
belongs to the people who live here,
and have their families here, spend
their money here building homes,
improving the country. The graft
system is thing Of the past, and the
times demand more conservatism un-
der new charter. The people will
have nothing but the best, and the
approval by the people of any meas
ure for large improvements to be un-
dertaken must be submitted for their
approval, before 1t is undertaken
The ely must plan to do its own
work, and give employment to her
own people at a scale of wages COM
mensurate with the employment or
work to be done, and no other plan
will be adopted, or approved by the
people at the election.
