Edison says what we throw
away would feed France" He
is probably right. The French
by being the most economical
people in the world have become
in aggregate, the wealthiest. An
American goes into a restaurant
in Paris. and gets UP from the
table leaving half the food he
has paid for. At an adjourning
table sits a Frenchman. At the
conclusion of his meal he calls
for paper, and wraps up and car
ries off every lump of sugar, slice
of bread, piece Of cheese, pickle.
etc.. that be has not consumed.
And this contract is maintained

If pure food expert, DR.. Wiley,

President, he will be by. the peo-
pie he has served so we'll, and
congress will represent the views
of the people by taking his bu-

never has been a public servant

A Public Duty.

The general committee. or rather
one member of it, having in charge
the grand rally in Macon on July
28th, found during the day that to
make the occasion a success expen-
ditures greater than the amount
Of money subscribed were neces-
sary. To save the credit of the
town and district, in fact to avoid
what would shame them, this com
mitteeman advanced the necessary
money out of his own pocket,
amounting to about $685. 90. He
did this on the assurance of some
Of the citizens that the people
would make it up and On his own
faith that they would.
The amount is a small one to for
Macon to make up but a consid-
cradle amount for n citizen to
have to pay: A list will soon be
carried around and it is hoped
that the amount will be speedily
made up. Macon was greatly com
pl;mented on her entertainment
of the citizens of the county. and
the day was an honor to her as we'll
as valuable in a business way. 1t
is the plain duty Of of the candi-
dates, the merchants and the peO-
pie generally to promptly radify
the action of the committee in max
ing the extra expenditure and to
reimburse the gentleman advancing
the money.

Report of Grand Jury.

To the Hon. TH0S. B. Carroll, Judge OF
Sixteenth Judicial District:
We, the grand jury having been
empanelled at this term of the cir
cult court, submit this our final
report:
We have been in session seven
days, have examined PIG wit
nesses and returned so indict-
mentS.
We have examined the books of
the county officers and find them
correctly and sneatly kept
We have examined the pOOrhOuse
court house, Jail, convict camp and
we find that all these institutions
are being properly looked after as
provided by law; the Jail being
kept in a clean and sanitary con
dition, and in the convict camp we
find that the prisoners are well
fed and humanely cared for.
We congratulate your honor
upon his record as a circuit judge
IN this county as shown from the
close examination of the county for
the past twelve months. There
has been very little, if any, crime
within the borders of this county
but that the parties have been
promptly unprecedented, speedily
tried and in no instances have inn
proper results been reached. We
further especially commend this
court for the splendid economy
which has been practiced not only
at this term but at every term
which your Honor has held since
his appointment, and We come to
this conclusion from an eXamina-
ton of the books of record which
we have access to. While we know
the enforcement of the criminal
law is a matter of such grave i'm
pOrtance that the question of eX-
penses is not to be taken into con
Sideration at all times, still where
proper results are attained with
economy practiced we feel that the
body of the people have every
cause for congratulatiOn.
We find though that there are
some matters that should he
brought to the attention of this
Court in making this, our final re.
port, There are q few people In

GIRO UT COURT ADJOURNS.


Onfy minor Importance lined
The second week of Noxubee
county circuit court had for its
main features a trial for rape and
the activity oil the grand.jury. The
negro tried for rape was acquitted,
there being some doubt of his iden-
ity7 with the perpetratOr of the
crime backed by pretty strong evi-
dence of an alibi. Hamp Fleming,
tried for selling whiskey, was ac-
quilted, the jury believing that
the sale was put on Hamp to avoid
telling the actual seller, who was
a white man. Hamp is a good ne
gro and many will be glad he es-
capped. Protecting good negroes
and showing negroes that if they
are law-abiding and honest they
will not be Jailed and punished by
the court is about as important a
factor in good government in NOX-
ubee county as Furnishing guilty
negroes.
The grandjury, which was in
session six days, found sixty true
bills. The Macon depot, that
much-maligned haven of peace,
quiet and rectitude, was shown es-
pecial attention. At one time
practically every denizen of the
place was IN the corridor of the
grand-jury room. A determined
effort has been made by the city,
aided by some of the men at the
depot to break up the lawlessness
there, and the circuit court seems
anxious to advance that purpose.
Judge Carroll seems to grow in
the estimation of u people for
his fairness and impartiality and
his even temperament, and the
bar is a unit in admiring his tech
nical and professional qualifica-
tons.
The learned district attorney,
Hon. Harden Brooks, has proven
again his pre-emiuent qualifica-
tiOns for his office. A prominent
official from a distant county here
On a visit said he was, in his Opin-
ion, the best district attorney in
the state.
Hon. D. F. AllgOod, the county
attorney, has again shown the
great advantage and value a county
attorney is to such a Coz
Noxubee with it's large MI
negro criminals and petty white
malefactors. Without his assis-
lance another week would prOba
bly, have been needed to finish the
work of the court, for Mr.. Brooks
in the court room in trials, and he
in the ~grand-jury room have not
had an hours idle time hardly
during the session.

Tick eradication, by joint action
of government, State and county, is
doing wonders for the cattle inter

many thousands of dollars, while
the promoters of the good work

prophetic wisdom and wise, self
sacrificing patriotism. Theirs is

The secret of making a good earth
road is controlling the moisture. This
can be done by making the road bed
higher in the center and keeping it
smooth by the road drag so that mois-
ture cannot stand there to allow the for
nation of ruts in wet weather and then
to have the sides of the ruts ground I'D
into dust in dryweather. Water should
not be allowed to stand alongside the
70 ad either, as it soaks under the road
bed and softens it. Therefore. provide
drainage bitches to carry it off. If
weeds are allowed to grow up to the
wagon tracks they will remove so much
moisture that the soll will work up into
dust. At least fifteen to eighteen feet
should be kept free from grass and
weeds. If these conditions are provided
the soil will not turn into mud in
wet weather and into dust in dry
weather.,

PRIMARY ON PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE.

North Dakota Will be a battle ground
attracting the attention of the entire
country next March, when this state
will vote in a popular primary on its
choice for the presidential nominations
of the various political parties. The
primary will be held March 10, and the
delegates elected to the national con-
ventions will be instructed to vote for
the candidate of each party receiving
the highest vote in the state.
A statement issued from Washington
by Sen. Jonathan Bourne, jr., president
of the national progressive republican
league, calls attention to the fact that
though Oregon was the first state to
adopt the plan of a presidential primary
election, three other states will hold
their primaries IN 1912 before Oregon.
The first primary of the kind will be in
North Dakota, while Wisconsin will vote
on presidential candidates April 2, and
Nebraska April17. The Oregon primary
will be held April 10, and New Jersey,
the only eastern state that has adopted
the plan, will vote on May %.
The Bourne statement, is part
is credited that North Dakota, by
reason of the prestige that will cone
from the first popular victory, undoubt-
eddy will see a holly contested fight for
popular Endorsement in both political
parties. Republicans probably will
choose between Taft and LaFollette,
with democrats voting on Harmon, Will
son, Clark, and perhaps North Dakota's
governor, John Burke. The primary
will also provide for a popular vote on
vice president, and national convention
delegates will be elected at the primary.
The executive committee of the MIN
nesota progressive republicans will have
another dinner Thursday evening at the
West hotel. At a slimly attended
meeting Of the committee June II, the
LaEollette Endorsement was voted.
While it is claimed that the action was
taken with the approval of almost the
entire committee, Hugh L. Halbert of
st. Paul has been some criticism be-
cause the action was taken by such a
small number, only five Of the seventeen
member RS being present. 1t is the pur-
pose to get a large attendance this time,
and that is why the & meeting has
been called during civic celebration
week. The Lat'ollette Endorsement will
be discussed and undoubtedly ratified.
w. l.. Nolan said today that out of
about 300 members of their league in |
Minnesota who have been heard from
since the Endorsement was voted, 80 per
cent have expressed enthusiastic ap-
proval, and only two or three have de-
clared opposition to LaFollette. Those
heard from however, number only a
small part of the total membership.
