The Man Next Door. .@
When, three hours previous, barrow
had arisen with tho remark before
chronicled, Jack Warford had followed
him in the expectation of long ex.
petition. To the young mans sur
prise 1t lasted just to the hall. There
Darrow stopped before the blank door
LOT an apparently unused once. Into
the lock Of this he cautiously fitted q
key, manipulated 1t for moment, and
turned to Jack with an air of salts

"You have your gun with your" he
asked.
Jack patted his outside pocket.

Are you sure you can make yourself
heard above all this row."
barrow nodded, and slipped inside
the door.
He found the once chamber unlight-

that came In around the drawn shades
Of the window. Against the dimness

he could. When he was about half

turned and saw him. For the briefest
instant he stared at the intruder; then
with remarkable agility, cast himself
toward the table on which stood the
wireless sender. Darrow, too, sprane

ty a resolution was being circu-
lated last week petitioning the
Supervisors to appropriate one
third of the fines from blind
tigers to secure evidence against
liquor sellers, when the Supervis-
ors had already made such a pro-
vision some time ago.
The BEACON is and has been
constantly and consistently in ia
vor of the enforcement of the
law. More than that it has been
open and outspoken about things
and persons that others merely
whispered about. But it is abso-
lutely out of sympathy with any
movement or method that must
needs distort facts to arouse eX-
element, or BLACKBOARD the coun-
ty to make a sensation. Nor will
it stand silent when the county
or city are misrepresented. No
good cause can prosper by such
tactics anyway.
Enforce the law by all means
and particularly against the most
despicable of criminals, the whis-
key sellers. Get detectives as
witnesses, if local patrons of
blind-tigers are loath to testify
ard jurles loath to convict on the
testimony of such. Clear the
county and city of such cattle.
Do this, not because Noxubee is
one of the worst counties in the
state, but because it is the best
county in the state and is going
to keep so.

Paul Gilmore in 1.-THE Havoc"

Waco Morning NeWs:
An audience at the Auditorium last
night appreciated the keen dramatic
ability with which Mr.. Gilmore, whom
it knew chiefly as a player of romantic
parts in recent years. presented this
tense story of the accustomed domestic
triangle with a plot very different. Mr..
Gilmore has made no mistake in assum-
ing a character so unlike those of the
greater part of his extensive repertoire.
His playing of the husband, was quiet,
assured dramatic artistry. The play is
rich in the use of the weapon of sar-
casm, has many brilliant lines in repair
tee of the husband and the false friend
who replaces him in the home after the
discovery of the wife's inidelity, and is
not devoid of striking morality. And it
is a clearly play despite the delicacy of
several of the situations indispensable
in the working out of such a theme.
Mr.. Gilmore is ably supported by Miss
Kathryn Hutchinson as the wife and by
William De We're as Hessert. The latter
has a most u~ngrateful part, and acquits
himself in situations that demonstrate
caddishness. inconsistency and thorough
weakness of character. Miss Hutchin-
sons emotional acting in the closing
scene in Craig's Office was especially
praisewortby.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE.

Good citizens without excep-
ton will be distressed to learn
that the support given by the
citizens to the Macon Civic
League has greatly diminished
and the subscribing membership
has dwindled from about one
hundred and fifty to scarcely a
third of that number.
The good women who orga-
nized the League and who have
done so much for the betterment
of Macon deserve better support
than these figures indicate, and
what they have accomplished de-
serves more recognition.
The membership fee is one
dollar a year and no money is
spent in Macon to a better pur-
pose. Here is one small civic
duty that every citizen of Macon
can perform, and doubtless will
perform when brought to his at
tention. Mrs. E. E. Dantzler is
president and Mrs. Gus Minor,
secretary. Get your name on
the membership roll of the Civic
League for it is a Roll of Honor.

MISTAKE AMI


Rev. MIR. Eichelberger, superin
tenGent Of the Anti-Salool
League Of Mississippi, made ;
Temperance address. Both thu
introduction and the main speech
contained erroneous statements
This paper was quoted as endors
ing that part of the last granC
jury report stating that liquor
selling was on the increase. Or
the contrary the BEACON editori,
ally said that much surprise was
occasioned by that part of the re.
port, and that the general opinion
around Macon was that here the
municipal authorities had pretty
thoroughly discouraged blind
tigers.
The district attorney was
quoted as saying publicly that
the grand juries would not indict
and the petty juries would not
convict liquor sellers. 1t is in
credible that such a statement
was made in the face of the
court records. And the district
attorney says positively that he
has never thought any such
thing and never said any such
thing. He did say that the pub
lie was more or less Indifferent
on this matter and the juries who
were made up from the public
were affected with this indifer-
ence.
But these are small mistakes,
though important enough to de.
serve correction.
Why so good a cause as tn,
temperance cause. why SO good /;
body of people as the Mississipp
Anti-Saloon League should navt
as its chief exponent such a mar
as Mr.. Eicheil erger is a matte,
of wonder. The state and the
cause had an example set for it
by Bishop Galloway, No man
ever fought more ably, bravely
or more relentlesslv, Yet he
never found it necessary to be
coarse or untruthful or unjHst.
Mr.. Eichelberger made the
statement that with the excep-
ton of one coast county and three
river counties, Noxubee county
was the worst in the state in the
matter of the illicit sale of liquor.
Nothing but ignorance or reck-
less disregard of the facts could
have caused such a statement
Any one who will make even a
casual examination into the state
of affairs in this county and in
others, will see that in the mat
ter of law enforcement and law
abiding citizenry Noxubee stands
as well as any county in the
state. 1t is a community, by and
that our people have a
to be proud of. {
Of course there are some Grim :
inals here, some active ones. ,
But the old timers have been i
broken up and these new ones :
will be taught their lesson in {
time. There is not an hour in :
the day or night that ladies' can I
not pass along the streets of Ma !
con without seeing a drunken {
person and without hearing pro- :
or obscenity. This was 4,
not always the case. In the last ,
eighteen months in the Mayors t
court there have been lis convic- t
tons for drunkenness and 26 con- l
vlctlons for selling whiskey. :
The officers of Macon have played =;
no favorites. White and black, s
the poor and the well-to-do both S

In the Circuit Court the indict- !

Raising Children

The Richmond Virginian had.
in a recent issue, a timely article
on bottle fed and breast fed
babies. A part of this article is
given below speaking of bring
ing up children, the editor says:
1.-The truth is we are becoming
socialists unconSciously, and
from Incidence, vanity and love
of vain glory. We deliver our
children to the State, through
the public schools, to the church,
through the Sunday-school, to
the teachers of the private
schools, the universities and
colleges, to anybody who will
take them off our hands and re-
lieve us of the responsibility
and labor of training and guild
ing them. When we take the
trouble or consent TO the pain
and cost of bringing them into
the world, we hand them over
to the world as quickly as pos
sible and demand of the world
or the State to take charge of
them. The tendency of our
modern thought and philosophy
is toward bottle feeding babies
and machine made men and
wo men. Statistics collected by
the doctors show that while five
per cent of the breat fed children
die in the first two years,
twenty per cent of the bottle fed
children die. As it is physically
50 it is morally. The child bred
on the bottle is unlikely to
thrive. We cannot develop high
mankind and womanhood by
machinery, however elaborate
and expensive it may be. The
breast feeding is not only by the
mother to the sucking child,
but by the father in his precept
and example, his tender watch
fulness and continued care for
the right training of the chill
dren. II is his part TO drill into
them by his life and constant
companionship and watchfulness
high principles, clean habits of
life and thought, as the mother
may have given them from her
breast and strengthen their
mucs!eS, veins and vitality"

SELFISHNESS

The wool growers of the West
and Northwest are opposing the
removal of the tariff tax on
wool. 1t is difficult to understand
why unselfish men will object
to the passage of a law which
proposes to favor the masses
The greatest good to the greatest
number, instead of protection
Tor the few at the expense of
the many would seem to be a
principle so just and equitable
as to commend itself to every
level-headed, unselfish man on
the earth. But it doesn't, and
the only conclusion within reason
IS that men who oppose this
principle are selfish and sordid.
The men who grow wool are
small in mubmer in comparison
with the number who wear
clothes. The policy of the Re-
publican party for fifty wears
was TO protect The few and let
the many look out for themselves
The big trusts and corporations
have fed and fattoned so long
at the public crib that they seem
to think they have an indisnut-
able claim if not inherent RIGHT
to lifetime protection, and then
s. me.
