CROWN JEWELSOF
BOHEMIA ARE SAFE
Seven Dignitaries With Seven
Keys of St. Vets Set at Rest
Alarming Stories OF Theft.

Carlsbad, September 3.-Alarming re
ports have been lately current in Aus
tria that the crown Jewels OF Bohemia
had been stolen from the holy shrias
Of St Vets Cathedral. Prague, The
question was considered whether to
open the crown cNmber and examine
the casket in which the jewels are
kept.
This was not an easy task, because
the iron door of St Wenceslaus at
Prague. behind which is the chamber
in which the jewels are hidden, is pro-
tected by seven large steel locks. and
each key is in the possession OF one OF
the seven highest Sgnitaries OF the
Kingdom of Bohemia. One OF these
keys IS kept by the Governor of Bo-
hemia. another by the Archbishop OF
Prague a third by the Lord Mayor of
Prague. After obtaining the necessary
consent from the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. these seven high, dlgnltaries met
yesterday at the cathedral but the
condition of the Iron door TO the cham
Der was so bad on account of the thick
layers OF rust on the seven locks that
experts had to be sent for. who. after
great trouble. succeeded in opening
the door. Thereupon the seven dgni-
tar!es applied their keys. and for the
first time since the year 1867 the door
was opened The dignitaries climbed
up on a secret serpentine staircase to
tho chamber. which they found richly
and artistcally decorated and in a
tolerably good condition.
The shrine in which the Jewels are
kept was found covered with dust and
mortar. also protected by seven locks.
and. with the same seven keys with
which the door of the chamber had
been opened, the door of the shrine
was opened. and on a crimson cushion
the crown jewels of Bohemia. which
are OF immense value and 700 years
old, were found a golden diadem
which was thought to be lost was q,
the top. The other Jewels were the
crown. sceptre. imperial globe. the
crown cloak OF Bohemia and all the
insignia which belong TO 1t.
The Jewels were sparkling The
golden settings were rather dim. but
in good shape. After the minutes of
the meeting We're written down, the
casket was closed again with the seven
keys and the door OF the crown cham
Der also closed with the same keys.

MUSIC HA TIL CHARMS.

Maj. James K. Vardaman, who
is making campaign speeches oyer
the State, evidently for pastime
or perhaps from force of habit,
since he declares his election is
already assured by an overwhelm-
ing majority, has added to his
voluminous quotations of poetry,
a little song dedicated to the nom
working negro, which the major
renders in a manner that would
make Fiddling Bob Taylor green
with envy. AS the words of the
song have not been copyrighted,
we take delight in furnishing
them to our readers as a rich con-

NOXUBEE co. STIRRED
BY BEACON'S OFFER
Great Voting Contest Arouses
Wide Spread Interest.
Many Candidates are Planning Effective
and Aggressive Campaigning
for Votes.

There is no section of Noxubee
county that is not interested in
the BEACON'S big voting contest.
ms widespread interest is a
source OF deep qualification to
the BEACON. 1t naturally ex-
pected the announcement that
the publication would give more
than $500 worth in prizes such as
a $3.50 piano, three diamond
rings, three gold watches, three
business scholarships to popular
people would meet with instant
response, but the most optinis-

Information and instructions to
forward a subscription book. A
large number of books have been
mailed out in compliance with
these demands. These have not
been used to any considerable ex-
tent, but the mere fact that re-
quests have been made for them.
shows that the intesest in the
contest is general and intense.
and the books will be used before
1t is over. The Beacon does not
expect any great number of sub
scrlptlons during the first part of
the contest and it is satisfied to
wait for the large numbers of
them that it confidently expects
later on, when the contest is un-
der way in real earnest.
Any big affair like the Beacon's
contest, time is required for a
real start. Several weeks elapse
before some of the candidates,
who eventually win prizes, fully
make up their minds to enter, or
to become active. Many contes-
tants spend some time in study
ing the rules and in mapping out
a campaign. Then they get down
to swift, accurate, intelligent eff
fort and make each day count
for many votes. They estimate |
the number of votes they think
1t will take to win the prize they
covet. Then they divide that
number by the number of days
that the contest has to run and
set OFT for that number each
day. And those kind generally
get it. If they fall down one day
then make it up the next. The
list of nominees is a long one.
But many of these will remain
inactive and others will drop out
after a feeble effort. 1t takes a

Letter From Big Bud.

macon, MISS, Mdrcn 70, 1911.
To the Democratic Voters of Noxubee
County:
l desire to announce my candidacy
for reelection to a seat in the lower
house of the Legislature. You have
honored me twice with this position and
by reason of my experience, 7 feel that
I can serve you better now than | ever
did, and / make this announcement
subject to the action of the Democratic
primary in August.
I have devoted my entire time during
the sessions of the Legislature to your
service; was in my seat all the time,
and voted aye or no on every question.
l answered every letter that I ever re-
ceived from any of my constituents the
day l received it if possible. l attended
to every request, and as l regarded my
position as a representative one, l tried
to carry out the wishes of my people on
every question as far as l could. l had
the honor of being on the ~appropria-
ton committee this last season, and
while l could not curtail expenses as
much as l would have liked to have
done, still my record will show that l
did the best l could under the circum-
stances.
The boil weevil is Invading our state,
and retrenchment and reform must be
our watch word, and l promise, if
elected, to vote for only the necessary
appropriations for all of our institu-
tions and shall try to see to it that this
shall not be done on an eXtravagant
basis.
Every one in the country knows my
position or all of the important ques-
tons, and while l cannot afford to
.--iAO - r~----r~i U~4"0o rU1 LHIS pUoI-
ton, l expect to visit all of the pre-
cincts when the executive committee
orders the grand rounds" and shall
then be ready to let you know how l
stend on every question. Now l want
every voter in NOxubee county to con-
slider this a request to vote for me, and
l believe will be the first choice of
some of the people, the second choice
of some others and ought to be the
third choice of all. So let's make it
unanimous this time. Boys who were
only thirteen years of age when 1 was
first elected to the Legislature, will be
voters at this next election, and l ask
them for their maiden vote. l do not
know all of you personally and have a
bad memory for names, so come up and
make yourself known to me and know
that [ will be very glad indeed to meet
you. To show how deficient in recol-
Letting names l am, l met a gentleman
who wore the red Shirt with me in 1875,
and have be1n meeting him often and
on ever since that time, and he said to
"Cavett, you have never called
my name but twice" And I said: "Mr.
Wilkins, you know l know you WE'LL"
And he said: Yes, but my name is
White, not Wilkins" So you see l am
up against it, but do not want this to
influence any votes against me. If you
believe that l am honest and capable,
and that l can best serve your interest
while in Jackson, vote for me, and if
you think some other man will make a
better representative, it is your duty to
vote for him, ana l will be satisfied
with results. E. D. CAvETT.
