UNCLE SAM DRINKS
AND SMOKES MORE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The
American people are drinking more
whisky and beer and smoking more
cigars and cigarettes than ever before
i'm history according to tax returns
received by Royal r. Cabell, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. From
July TO OctobO 1912. more than
3S0O.O0O000 3 cigarettes We're smoked
an increase Of l,OO0.000.O00 over the
corresponding period OF the previous
year, which broke all records.
The nation consumed 33,150.000 gall
ions of whisky during July, August
and September, an increase of 100000
gallons as compared with that quar-
Ter Of 1911. while nearly 1,950.OOO.0O
cigars were smoked during that time.
The cigar consumption promises to
establish a new record.
A total of 19.SO0.000 barrels of beer
were consumed during the three
months. which was 100000 barrels
more than I'm the same period of 1911
This somewhat surprised revenue Off
cials as beer-drinking fell off consid-
elably during the fiscal year ended
June 80 last That decrease was part
ly accounted for by Commissioner Ca
bell by the increased popularity OF
buttermilk as a summer drink.
The growing consumption of these
articles has greatly augmented the
Governments revenue The internal
revenue receipts for October, already
more than $20O0,O0O greater than Oc-
tober. 1911, will eclipse all records for
any October.

HOLIDAY PACKAGES
GOING BY EXPRESS
Officials Say the Christmas
Rush Has Begun---HOw to
Avoid Delay

During the past week there has
been noticeable increase in the num-
ber of packages being sent away from
Wilmington by express and the local
officials OF the Adams and American
Express companies say that the
Christmas rush is on. Efforts are
again being made to induce people
to shin their gifts in time to be de-
livered before the holidays and to so
mark them that they will be taken
care of in the proper manner by the
companies employees
There is always a great rush at the
very close OF the Christmas season,
thousands of persons neglecting to
send their gifts until the very last
minute and then choking the express
offices until it is impossible to get
half Of them to their destination on
time, though the companies employees
work night and day during the two
weeks preceding Christmas.
IN order TO avoid this kind Of con-
RestiOn at the last moment, all ship
ments for points outside of the State
should be dispatched from the local
express Offices not later than Decem-
ber Is, while all packages for points
outside of the city should be shipped
not later than December 49, II this
rule is adhered TO the express COM
panies will be able to get all gifts to
their destination by Christmas day
Baggagemcn at the local railroad
stations are beginning to have their
troubles with travellers who insist up
on checking excess baggage without
paying the extra charges that are al
ways levied upon the same. The
heavy rush of travel that accompanies
tho approach of the Christmas holi-
days always brings out that class of
travellers who endeavOr 70 get all out
OF their transportation that is COM
ing TO them and more too, and on
this account there is much to adjust
by the men who look after the welfare
Of the railroad companies.
II invariably happens that travelling
men carrying heavy sample cases and
franks at this season OF the year are
the ones who balk at the extra charge
that is levied upon excess baggage,
anu there are many warm sessiOns
held at the baggage departments over
the rights that belong to the travellers
and the encrOachments that are often
made upon the transportation COM
panies.

CONGRESSMAN GAMBLER

y Hon. +. s. Gambler, Jr., the
Democratic nominee for congress
from this, the First Mississippi
district, spent Monday the 18th in
Macon. In the forenoon he saw
and talked with many of his
friends and enjoyed an automo.
bile ride with Mayor Horton out
into the prairie section.
In the afternoon he spoke in the
court. room to a goOdly number of
democrats. He was elOquently
introduced by Hon. Harden
Brooks, Jr. Mr.. Gambler. as is his
habit, spoke to the point. He
expressed his high sense of graft
tude to the people of his district
for re'electing him by so large n
majority and in this connection
owned up to a special feeling for
Noxubee for giving him the larg
est proportionate vote of any
county.
His speech was instructive on
what the democrats had done in
the last session of congress on the
tariff and other matters, and he ex
planned the position of congress
in excmpting American coastwise
trading vessels from tolls through
the Panama Canal.
He told his hearers about the
Democratic nominees and their
chances for success.
Mr.. Gambler received a most
welcome and his speech
was much enjoyed.

Prof. Fast Visits Macon.

In the discharge of his duties as Su
pervisOr of Secondary Schools. Prof. J.
c. FAINT recently visited the Macon High
School. Prof. Fant's visits to the Ma
con School are of special interest be-
cause he feels such deep interest in the
educational progress Of his native city
and makes his visits of inspection some
thing more than mere routine work.
Prof. FAINT has for the last two years
been Supervisor Of Secondary Schools
for the State by virtue of holding the
chair of secondary education in the Uni
versity. This chair is supported by the
General Education Board, which has
done much to stimulate the South to a
larger and more vital interest in the
general problems of public education.
The duties of the position are manifest,
having for their object the raising of
the curriculum in the high schools to a
uniform standard, improving the efici-
ency of the teachers, and the closer af-
fliation of the public schools with the
State University.
Prof. FAINT in his address 70 the pu-
pills of the High School laid special
on the Importance of con tinuing
heir studies in institutions of higher
eerning, and showed the immense adj
vantage possessed by the educated mar
'ver the ignorant. 1t is when this adj
,antage is clearly recognized that the
ichools will fulfill in larger measure

COUNTY ATTORNEY

The ballot to be voted in the
November election will be a long
one. Besides four sets of presi-
dental electors, several proposed
amendments to the Mississippi
constitution are to be voted on, and
i~yrN-Ahse the voters must decide
VI not the office of county
-at to be retained.
The better opinion, and the one
followed by the lower court in a
recent case, is that the law under
which the matter is put to an
election is unconstitutional. But
as the matter is now before the
supreme court and undecided, it
behooyes our people to vote right
ON the proposition.
In another column of the BEACON
will be found some statistics from
the county auditors office show
ing how the office Of county attor.
ney has worked in Noxubee Coun-
ty. They are sufficient to con,
vince any one that merely rs a
money proposition it has worked
well here. 1t has saved the coun.
ty nearly three thousand dollars
net, after deducting the county
attorneys salary; and over five
thousand dollars in costs of court
terms.
But probably the most valuable
effect of having a county attorney
is saving the citizens from useless
prosecutions and unnecessary at.
tendance on court. The guilty have
been more certainly convicted and
punished. The innocent more
quickly acquitted and protected
from indictment and prosecution.
The course o fjustice has been made
freer, easier and more certain.
Mr., Allgood who a year ago
was elected to the office can ap,
peal with deserved confidence to
the people of Noxubee to endorse
the office and his administration
of it. AS the figures show he has
done great service to the county,
and those who are most familiar
with his performance of his duties
rs county attorney commend him
the most.
