Especial to The Advertiser)- dis
patch received in Vienna late Saturday
from Cettinje, Montenegro, declares the
Montenegrins have taken Seutari. NO
confirmation of the report is obtainable.
1t is received in Vienna with doubt,
because the city ON account of its
strong natural defenses, should be aole
to withstand a protracted assault. IL
has been reported, however. thai the
Turks have been withdrawing their
forces for some days.
The fall Of Uskup and Kumanova and
the Greek victories in the South may
have shown the Turks the futility of
holding Scutari.

was done. He read it to some Of
his farmer friends and customers,
but they were incredulous, and
planted cotton as Of yore. Thei,

cotton and ninety per cent Of
wasted energy, labor and capital.
From six to ten thousand bales

FROM THE PEOPLE.
The DOG Tax.

=, lie Dog Tax.
VIII you allow me space IN Won psuer
for a few words in reference to the
much talked Of dog tax. noticed q
card In last weeks Beacon signed by
W. A. Walker, Our worthy Supervisor
from district s, In reference to the re.
realing Of tets tax. The idea seems to
prevalent among the people that on &C.
count OF some persons who have dogs,
and have not paid tax on them for the
year 1911, that the burden IL unequal
and unfair TO those who have paid. and
mat on this account the tax should be
aorogated. l will admit that the argue
ment Is good. and quite true, but the
same reasoning applies to almost all
other taxes. Take the Poll Tax (which
we all know goes entirely to the school
iund) and see the great number Of per-
sons who do not pay this tax-and yet
are often, In fact nearly always direct
ly or indirectly benefciaries of this fund.
The same will apply to other takes as
well.
claim that the dog tax shouldlbe a.
lowed to remain in force, because. it is
set apart for a purpose that every child
in the county is vitality interested in.
l understand that there will bA
realized from this tax about 50. 900 and
can be used for no other purpose thai
repairing school buildings, and some Of
them are surely in need of it.
Now If we maintain our public schoo'
we must have buildings and we owe |,
to ourselves and our children to provide
better buildings than most of them il
the rural districts are now. This tax al
collected for 1911, will aid greatly il
this splendid work and l don't think il
should be abandoned simply becaus,
some who should have done SO, did no
pay the tax.
The law is very plain and if a little
vigilance is applied, we will collect 8
great deal more from this source il
1912 than in the preceding year. ant
the revenue must come from the people
to run expense of schools etc. II We
discontinue the dog tax, we must pa,
it in some other way so let US continue
it and let every person who owns a dog
pay the tax-or if the dog is worthless,
dispense with it and give the bread il
would eat to something more valuable,
Yours truly,

GOOD ROADS.

The BEACON expects to keep
on harping on the subject Of good
roads. Noxubee county is 80 pro-
gressive in many ways. has done
20 much to make her citizens
proud of their citizenship in Nox-
ubee. that it hurts ones pride in
her to see her tagging behind in
this regard.
The transportation problem is
the most important economic
problem of this age. 1t was i'm
portant cycles ago when the first
hunter transported his hides and
dried meat to the cultivated
plains and battered them for
grain and salt. And it has been
constantly growing in impor
lance ever since. And most of
all is it important to the farmer
who raises things in bulk and
mus transport them to the GEN.
ters Of trade.
Everything a farmer produces
is worth its value minus the cost
OF getting it to the railroad.
Everything he buys he pays its
value plus the cost to him of trans
porting it to his farm. He has
to pay this expense ''guyne and
comm" every time.
He is the great sufferer in physi.
cal discomfort and in p~ocketbook
from bad roads. He will be the
great gamer by good roads. No
legislation, no farmers union,
much as both may help or hurt
him, are of as much importance
as accessibility to the market or
shipping place.
The whole state of Mississippi
is awakening to the Importance
OF good roads. The governor de-
voted part of his message to the
subject. Several laws were
passed this year to forward the
movement. The best and most
complete one, the Walker Bill,
creating q state highway commits
sion which should advise, cooper
ate with and assist each county in
building good roads, and system
atizing road building and making
provisions assisting every county
in the work, failed to pass in the
hurry Of the closing days of the
legislature. Two years from now
it will probably be the law.
In the meanwhile. let Noxubee
lead in road building as she has
led in other wise and progressive
movements.

MINI.
1.-THE Mummy and the Humm;ng
Bird" was presented by Baul Gilmore
at the Metropolitan Theater Thursday
evening. The title Of the play is one
that rouse curiosity.
1t is a society play. Lord Lumley,
the character made famous by Paul
Gilmore is a scientist. He marries a
beautiful society girl and forgetting her
Immediately, settles down to his life of
scientific investigation. He is the many.
The Humming Bird is Sig D'Orelli. He
makes love to Lady Lumley and the
climax comes when she goes to his room
and Lord Lumley discovers her misstep.
He has become acquainted, through his
philanthropy, with Giuseppe. an organ
grinder, who tells Lord Lumley he is
searching in London for an Italian who
wrecked his home. Lord Lumley dis
covers that Giuseppe is after D'Orelli.
BY several clever ruses, which result
in thrilling climaxes. Lord Lumley Sc
cures his wife, forgives her and turns
the vendetta of Giuseppe against
D'Ofelli, giving the latter a short start
Of his relentless pursuer.
The audience was large and undoubt
eddy appreciated Mr.. Gilmore. The part
OF Lord Lumley suits him. The only
time when he is called upon to express
emotion is the third act. when he re.
fuses to be angered by the t>unts Of
the foreigner. He arises to the occasion
cplendidly. He best depicts the sup.
pressed emotion Of a smooth man of the
world. In the act where he enters
D'Orelli's apartments carrying a re.
volver. to find his wife, he is at his best.
THE Mummy and the Hummine
Bird will be found worth seeing.
This is the play that made a star Of Mr.
Gilmore and will live as long as he lives.

THE WEATHER.

1t is to be hoped that the heavy rain.
nearly four inches, that fell Thurs.
day, commencing about 10 o'clock We'd
nesday night and continuing until 8
o'clock Thursday afternoon, was a eli.
max and a finale to the rainy season,
which commenced the second week in
December. Stormy weather generally
comes at the time the sun crosses the
equator and as the vernal equinox oc-
cured last week the present weather
can be account for to that fact.
All the creeks are up and the river is
out Of its banks. 1t is not believed the
river will be any higher than it was
two weeks ago.

HI SoUTHS CANDIDATES.

TIE republicans nave AV PAOo1~
Dental timber to compare with
these men. Either one would
make a great president. Both
measure up to the old southern
standard of stainless private
character, and public courage and
righteousness.
Woodrow Wilson is probably
the ablest man in America today.
In debate or in counsel he is the
only man who could handle Roose-
welt. ard handle him with ease.
In action, in executive capacity,
his short experience has been
enough to demonstrate that his
clear head guides a sure and
strong hand, and a fearless one.
His elevation to the presidency
might inaugurate an era such as
followed the administrations of
jefferson and Jackson and would
have followed Cleveland's but
for internal dissensions in his
party.
From certain sources, at what
was considered opportune times,
came attacks on Wilson. His per-
fectly proper application for a
pension under the Carnegie foun-
dation was set up as species of
graft. His private letter to a
personal friend, in which he ami
madverted on Bryan four years
ago, was suddenly brought to
light to turn Bryan's friends
from him. Both attacks were
met by Mr.. Wilson with perfect
frankness. and both failed of
their purpose.
No southern democrat should
allow his preference for MIR.
Underwood to influence him to
make or join in or condone any
attack on Mr.. Wilson. He is a
gentleman, a democrat and a
southener, and as such entitled
to our admiration and respect,
regardless of where our support
goes.
Oscar Underwood has served in
about twenty years. By
force of character and by ability
he has risen to the very front.
He is eminently a man to he trus-
ted in every public or private re-
We're he elevated to the
presidency the whole country, or
at least every intelligent man in
the United States, would feel sure
that the reins of government, so
far as the executive branch was
concerned, were in safe, intelli-
gent and brave hands. His cleo.
ton would not raise, probably,
quite as high hopes as Mr., Viii.
sons, but would cause, probably,
less uneasiness. He too is a
southerner, and one whom every
southern man can look to as an
exemplar of the highest type of
of American citizenship as devel-
oped south of Mason and Dixon's
line.
Let no southerner, no matter
how ardently he may be for Will
son. say aught against Mr.. Un-
derwood. 1t would be unjust to
both men. Two such men should
run the cleanest of races. Neither
of them will do aught to offend,
and their friends should not.
There is no danger of any at
lacks on either of these men
originating in the south. The
danger is in southern partisans
of one or the other taking up in
sidious charges made by enemies
of the democratic party or inter-
ests inimical to the south.
We have only to keep in mind
the character of the two men and
fght. our fight accordingly. Both
are honors to the south and to
our party, and we want to See
neither harmed, or his greatness
dimmed.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London. about
800 miles, by q motor car driven by
. revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand do Lesseps, and Is called

OF an ordinary motor car. save that
In front It il shaped like the prov
Of a ship. From the extremely OF
the prov extends a shaft to which 10
attached the propeller-or revolving
wins-invented by M. Filippi.
The wing Is small, strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage.
The engine Ia OF 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There Is no other mechanism, the
wheels OF the car being free. except
for footbrakes. by the side OF the
driver is a single lever which con.
trolls the clutch and the forward and
everse movement Of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at q moments
notice. thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs q speed OF
G2 miles an hour was obtained with
2.100 revolutions Of the wing a min.

a made no dust.
