THE GAME OF SKAT

A convention which according to
Herman Ridder, the well known Ger
man editor, has within it's power the
opportunity -'to accomplish a verita BILE
mission of culture is being held in
New York this week. The object Is to
seek to popularize in America the eel
ebrated German game of skat, at the
same time sidetracking the equally IA
nous game of poker, which does not
bring into play the same intellectual
qualities as the German game. Two
thousand players will sit in the games
at the convention. The occasion will
be the fftieth convention of the Nor
doestlicher Skat-Verband."
1.-The game of skat," says Herman
Ridder, lis decidedly one of the noblest,
If not the noblest. game of cards in the
world. 1t Is adapted to sharpen the wit
and develop the intellect 1t is just the
reverse of those other games, which
have a deadening effect on the intel
lectual faculties. Skat cannot be
classed among the games of chance, as
good player is able to utilize even a
bad run of cards in such a way that he
does not Jose anything. 1t therefore
bids fair to become a substitute for
poker.p

the victim, but these attempts failed.
As governor, Patterson took a vigorous
hand In apprehending and Furnishing
the notorious Tennessee night riders,
and this activity on his part placed his
life In jeopardy. As q result he was
constantly under guard. Patterson's
veto OF a state wide prohibition bill
which had passed his legislature caused
a state sensation, as Tennessee was I'M
deniably pervaded with strong tenn

ton was extremely tense in Tennessee

oHIo,s CONSTITUTION

Forty-two proposed constitutional
amendments have been framed and
made ready by the Ohio constitutional
convention and will be presented to the
voters on Sept. 3. The most radical
change planned is limiting the power
of the supreme court.
The convention voted the removal of
the word male" from the bill of rights
Of the present constitution and thereby
gives votes to women. A proposal was
passed providing for the direct primary
election of delegates to the national
convention and for the primary nomi-
nations of state and city officials. The
proposal also provides a preferential
vote for the United States senate. The
initiative and referendum passed by
the convention provides for the direct
initiative upon constitutional amend
ments on petition of 10 per cent of the
voters and indirect initiative upon leg

TIL COUNTY

The Supreme Court has decided
that the 1912 law is constitutional
requiring an election on November
9th in each county as to retaining
the Office Of County Attorney.
The people of Noxubee, Therefore,
must vote on the question next
Tuesday. The figures on how the
Office has saved Noxubee County
money and her citizens time and
trouble were given in full a few
weeks ago in the BEACON. Briefly
the figures show:
Cost to county Of five terms OF
Circuit Court without County
Attorney Sli6S5 10
Cost to county of five terms
with County Attorney -- 1857 20
Showing that the County Attor'
ney has saved the county in
the expense of running Cir
cult Court five terms-- 1927 90
From this, of course, must be
deducted the County Attorneys
salary for the period which is
$4,000. 90, which leaves a net say
ing in the county treasury of
1854. 80. TO this must be added
the County Attorney fee collected
from persons convicted amounting
to $500. 90, making the office
worth in oil to the county $3014,-
90. 1t Is therefore indis.
putably proven that the office of
county attorney has saved the
county over $4,000. 90 cash since
the middle of the year 1910. This
alone will convince any business
man Of the advantage Of continu,
ing the Office In this county and
will convince every citizen who
considers public economy when
he votes. In addition crime has
steadily decreased, and the
amount of fines imposed and col.
lected has steadily increased.
One other, and in some respect
the most important aspect of the
office, remains to be considered,
The citizens of the county have
been saved many days attendance
ON circuit court by having cases
thrashed out in their ~neighbor-
hood justice courts. The time
and money saved citizens in this
way amount, probably, to more
than the S3000.00 profit to the
county by the office.
BY all means let Noxuhee coun.
ty show her progress and good
sense by retaining the Office OF
county attorney.
