Alabama, Alfalfa and Charlie
Clay are made the subject of an
editorial nearly a column in length
in the Montgomery Advertiser of
the 9Th inst. Mr.. Clay divides

fine combination.
Mr.. Clay goes as Il missionary

and incidentally sell alfalfa lands.

A great number Of course will

BEACON invites to act and to act
promptly. There is no great
difficulty about obtaining votes
as will be found after a little
experience. They are obtained,
it will be remembered, in two
ways, first, by clipping and send
ing in the weekly ballots that
appear in the paper, and, second,
by securing prepaid subscriptions
to THE BEACON, either old or
new. The latter, of course, will
be found the more effective way,
although it is we'll to turn in as
many of the weekly ballots as
may be had without the waste of
too much time. Remember that
the contest is just getting under
way and that there is always an
advantage in an early start.

The Ballots printed in The Bea-
con are good FIR face value only
and must be polled before ex-
piration of date printed on each

Just a week ago the BEACON
made the first announcement OF
its Grand Voting Contest, at
which time it gave the details of
it's plan to give away more than
$8OO.OO in prizes to energetic
people Of its territory. In this
short time, news of this unusual
offer has spread to all points of
the papers territory and has at
tracted the attention of a number
OF the best people in the county.
Interest has grown with each
day that has passed since the
first announce was made. A
large number of nominations
were received last week. AS a
matter of fact that the contest
is getting under way in better
shape than THE BEACON hoped
for, and it deels entirely satisfied
with the enterprise that it has
launched.
It has however called atten-
ton at the head of this article to
the fact that it invites more
nominations from all sections. for
the reason it takes a great many
nominations to make a very few
live candidates. THE BEACON
also wants every section IN the

of badness, that though a man
might be bald yet he was clean.
He was evidently referring to some
one he and Leviticus both knew
who wore his hair long and wasn't
as clean as he might have been.
We cannot recall any better au-
thOrity on this subject than Moses.
Perhaps we have pulled enough
hair this time, SO we close with one
other citation. Paul, although a
bachelor and supposed to know
much what he was talking about

Pulling Hair.

In his recent speech at Carroll
ton Gov. Vardaman is reported to
have referred to Governor Noel as
the Hairless Wonder. Now we do
not think such plain, personal ref
erences are nice, but since Gov.
Vardaman has set the example,
let's see something about hair bus
mess.
Funny, isn't it ! Hair is always
referred to as the glory of women.
Hair wonder Of the masculine
gender are rather scarce. There
are several prominent citizens men
toned in history who got into Sc
rious trouble with that same long
hair.
Somewhere we have read Of a
man named Samson (we have for
gotten his last name) who was
noted for his long hair. He was
short on intellectually, but long
on hair. He didn't stack up with
the high brows much, but when it
came to the hair proposition he
was right there with the goods.
Once in an unguarded moment he
remarked to a friend of his that
should his hair be cut then his
strength would go from him and
he would be as any other man.
Shearing time came soon after and
10! it was so. Selah.
Elisha was a prominent Chair
less WONDER" Once he was trud-
ing along toward the enterprising
city of Bethel, when some thought
less young people called him ''old
bald head" or words to that effect.
Business picked up right now. His
head got .as red as Gov. Noel's
some times get; he made a few fee
BILE remarks in Hebrew and about
40 of those thoughtless kids were
benevOlently assimilated by bears.
GoU TdTdnndn had better take Udr71-
ing.
Once there was a gay and giddy
young sport whose name was Alb
SALON. somebody. Strange how we
forget those last names. He was a /
pretty boy; had long, wavy hair;
the ladies said he was cute! His /
father was a King Or Governor

TICK ERADICATION.
ArsenicaI Dip Not Injurious as is
Proven by Several Testimonials.

Some anxiety has been expressed
by farmers that the arsenical DIP
prescribed by the government Tor
the eradication of ticks would be
injurious. The letters given below
were received by a government su-
DeryiSOr of tick eradication work
in Alabama, where the work has
been given a thorough trial. vi
course they are applicable to con
ditions here, and show not only
that there is no danger to be feared
from dipping cattle at this time OF
the year, but that there is no dan
ger at any time to be apprehended
from using the arsenical dip. On
the contrary the best results are
obtained:

Dear S,r:-In answer to your favor Of
the 7Ch inst, in reference to the prac-
ticability of the use of the arsenlcal
dip in exterminating the cattle tick, Will
sav that it is the most efficient mode
vet adopted in eradicating the tick:
It is not only the most feasible and
economical method but the less trouble
some way in which to handle stock. 1t
IS sure death to the tick and when hand
led in systematic manner quickly frees
the farm of all ticks.

why every busine man should hesitate
to enter into this WORK at once and for
ever free the country of source OF

Dear Sir:
Answering your letter of the 7th, itst
we wish to say, that in our opinion, the
vat and animal solution has proven eff
fectual since it has been in use, and
we think if kept up it will elimiuhte
the tick this season. The negroes have
taken quite an interest in the dipping
proposition, and bring their cattle in of
their own accord without having to
urge them to do so.
Yours truly,
