the saving of thousands of bushels of
corn in the county. Another week of
dry weather would have been the ruin
of nearly all the early corn.
Mr.. Glenn Douglass. of alfalfa fame,
vas in town Wednesday and stated
that the recent rains had come in time
to save the corn crop and will aus
cotton to put on a growth that in a
months time will seem marvellous.
Cotton, he says. unlike last year, has a
we'll developed tap-root, and all it
needed to make it spring up like a
weed, was a good rain, which appears
to have been general. The firm of
Binion and Douglas have cut 20 cars of
alfalfa this season and have not lost a
bale. something they have never done
before. They expect to get another
cutting in 20 days and every 80 days
until the end of the season, if favora-
BILE weather conditions prevail.
In another column of this paper is
printed a letter from Mr.. Carson, man
ager of the Lyceum Bureau, with head
quarters at Columbus, in which he
charges that MI. Vardaman appro-
priated the money of the Bureau to the
amount of 5000. A similar statement
was made by one of the most response
BILE citizens of Columbus before a num-
Der of Maconites in Columbus about
two weeks ago while they were in that
city attending a meeting of the Water
ways convention. It has been stated
by a friend of MI. Vardaman that the
reason he took the money was because
the bureau owed him money which he
could not collect. The Beacon has no
wish to be unfair and if such is the
case we will be glad to publish the
facts. We will further state that if
any charge against Nj. Vardaman that
has been published in this payer can be
prOve to be untrue, or there is reason
whatever to believe the charge to be
untrue, we will gladly publish it.
