A Record Year.

In the sale of prairie lands the
G. G. Clay Alfalfa Land Company
at this place have made an envi-
able record in the year just ended.
In all, this company has disposed
of over 20, 900 acres of high class
prairie land in the Demopolis Sec
ton, of which passed into the
hands of desirable Northern and
Western people. Many of them
have moved into this section to
make their homes amongst us, and
others will, making good neighbors,
and building up the country
around them. We are reliably in
formed that this is more land of
its class than has been handled by
any firm between OkOlona, Miss,
and Montgomery, Ala, the length
of the Black Belt. In the matter
of lands between Demopolis and
Uniontown this company has sod
more to new corners than is covered
by other sales from the Civil war
until now. AS a boil weevil cure
these gentlemen are introducing
the right medicine, in the new
blood being infused into our farm
ing section. -Demopolis Times.

THE FARM.

The columns of the BEACON have been open to
the citizens of Noxubee for a discussion of the
county farm proposition, but no one has taken adj
vantage. of the opportunity. Several heavy tax
{ payers in various parts of the county, however,
! have been interviewed and have endorsed the idea
of the county farm. Among those favoring the
, proposition are Messrs. AT, Dent, L. L.. Anderson,
tE. V. Yates, H. H, Brooks, Jr., Wallis Cooper and
j. J. Prince, and many others.
The business men of the county seem to be of
the opinion that Noxubee county with its paupers
to care for and as many county %convicts as are gen
orally under conviction can hardly fail to make a
success of a county farm. 1t cannot be gainsaid
that without interfering materially with the work
. on the roads, the %convicts can do a gr at deal to-
wards improving a farm. 1t cannot be gainsaid
that on a farm the paupers can be made useful.
These are two certain items of profit.
The county has an agricultural commissioner
and the county farm can be used as a demonstra-
ton farm, and indirectly be a source of great adj
vantage to the farmers. A successful county farm
would lbeSnot only a source of profit, but would be
a great advertisement to the county. And it
would be a success. 1t would be an undeseryed
and. uhjustified slur' on the present Board of Super
visots, to argue that they could not successfully
start such a farm.
The cost of such a farm of course must be con-
sidered. The county has not sufficient money on
hand to purchase a farm, but it can borrow the
money at six per cent and it has at present $4,000. 90
loaned out at seven per cent. Whenever those
loans mature the money can be used to pay for the
farm, If the farm does not pay for itself in few
years. AS shown before, the saving on fuel each
year will about pay the interest on the amount
needed to buy a farm.
The establishment of a county farm is q sound
business proposition, and it is to be hoped that the
Supervisors will establish one.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE

Prof. William R. Webb, better if not more
widely known as "0le Sawney." was last week
elected by the legislature for the short term as
United States Senator from Tennessee. Whether
or not it was a case of thieves falling out and hon
est men getting their due need not be debated
Whatever the circumstances, Tennessee gets a SEN
ator worthy of her best days and one Of her citi-
zens gets an honor he is in every way worthy of.
Ever since the Civil War Mr.. Webb has been q
school teacher and a good one-a great one. Scat
tered over the South. with manv in the North and
West, are a great many of his old pupils who hear
with peculiar pleasure of this political honor that
comes to their old teacher and friend in his latter
days.
It was a gracious and graceful thing to do, the
giving, unsought, of this laurel leaf, this rounding
out of a long and useful career by high civic honcrs.
In a school masters life, as a general thing, virtue
is its W and only reward. But somehow the
tenth legion got in the saddle, and Mr.. Webb over
came the Nervii, and is become a Pater Conscnp-
tbs. The toga never fell on more deserving
shoulders.

SPECIAL SEssIoN LEGISLATURE

There is some talk in certain portions of the
State of having a special session of the Legislature,
theImoving cause therefor being the urgent need
of a banking law. 1t is true that certain commune
ties, Newton and Woodville notably, have suffered
much from the acts of dishonest bank officials, but
it hardly is just to saddle the State with the cost
of an extraordinary session of the the Legislature.
especially when the next regular session is less
than a year off and in addition there is no assurance
that a good banking law would be passed.
That we should have state bank examiners and
that the state banks SHOULD, so far a 'law can make
them, be as safe and secure as national banks COM
mends itself to every ones good sense. Yet after
wrestling with the matter several weeks the Legis-
lature could not agree upon a bill. The main cause
of disagreement was whether the examiners should
be appointed by the governor or elected by the
people. In other words, politics defeated the bill.

JUNGLE JOE'S" GOODBYE.

While all good Democrats rejoice in the fact
that inroads have been made in the Congressional
delegation from the State of Illinois, many will re-
greet the passing of that unique national character
and good old man, Uncle Joe" Cannon, who was
defeated for reelection, and who will bid good
bye to his Congressional associates on March 3rd.
'Uncle Joe" is not Cnlya good man but a great
man, albeit he is a stand-pat, dyed-in-the-wool,
reactionary Republican of the most pronounced
type He has many admirers not only among his
own party associates, but in the ranks of the Dem
ocrats, who admire his fearless, straightforward
characteristics and the bigness of his generous
heart.
AS an indication of his observation-disclosures is the
speech he made a few days ago in the halls If Con.
gress, when in advocating the appropriation of
~, 900, 900 for a Lincoln memorial, he stated that
there were four men in the history of this country
who would always stand out prominently as her
greatest national characters, Washington, Lincoln,
Lee and jefferson Davis. Coming from the recog-
nized head of the Republican party in Congress, a
man who represents an Illinois district in the
Yankee country, such tribute to Southern lead
ers is the greater appreciated by the people of the
Southern States. 1t stamps him as a man big
enough to set aside fractional prejudice and do
honor to whom honor is due regardless of past diff
%ferences, giving to every one credit for patriotic
motives in the role they played in the great drama
of war which rent the nation into two factions and
drenched it's battleields with blood, but upon
which the curtain was rang down a half century
ago, the actors in which the greater minds Of the
nation are beginning to see in their true light, and
it is to such men as Uncle Joe" Cannon, who
does not hesitate to praise those of both sections,
to whom we may look for the total obliteration of
sectional lines and the Punishment of all feelings
of prejudice.
Uncle Joe" is not only a statesman and a pa
triot but somewhat of a humorist, as the following
%allusion to himself will prove in the conclusion of
his address below quoted:
There are certain great characters that will
dwell in the history of the country, " said Mr.. Can
non, first, and barely first, Washington; second,
Lincoln; third, Lee, great man, a great general
who did his duty from his patriotic standpoint;
fourth, jefferson Davis, a great man performing a
great service for the republic as he saw his duty.
"A hundred years from now the ordinary read
er will recall this period and there will be in the
mouths of school children the names of Washing
ton, Lincoln, Grant, Lee and Jefferson Davis.
But you will have to search the Congressional Rec
ance of US who have been speakers. members OF
Congress in the House and Senate. Take Mr.. Can
non for instance. | have been speaker for eight
years. They will say, 1t does appear that there
was a man from Illinois by the name of Cannon,
but | don't know much about him; there was
another man by the name of Cannon from Utah
and it was said that he had seventeen wives.

JOHN SHARP RAPS AT TRAFFIC CLUB.

A Washington dispatch of recent date says,
Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, as a
guest of the Washington Traffic Club at it's annual
banquet here last night, made some pointed criti-
cisms of American railways and compared them
unfayorably with the systems of Europe"
Don't imagine the system of transportation
you have builded is perfect. 1t is not" he de-
clared, Don't imagine it is the best in the
world. 1t is not. And don't imagine that a law
which allows you to underbid water transportation
rates on long hauls and then to make up the de-
fciency by raising the freight rates on short hauls
is just. 1t is not.
'"When we do at last succeed in establishing a
just relationship between the railroads and the
people, the trouble between us will be over. But,
on the whole, | want to say that you have done
your work devilish we'll.
81 suppose you know" Senator Williams con-
tinued, when the laugh that followed his last re-
mark had subsidized, that irrefutable statistics
show that your percentage of passengers killed and
manned is fifty times as large as that of Great
Britain. Yet | would not say that the fault is al,

WASHINGTON, p. c.. Jan. 3D.
Enormous frauds against the govern

postage stamps have been discovered
by post Office inspectors. Reports re-
ceived today by Postmaster General
Hitchcock show that the frauds have
been conducted on SO tremendous a
scale that they involve at least ST.
100000 annually. Indictments already
have been returned against stamp
brokers in New York, Chicago and
other large cities. Confessions receiv-
ed by the inspectors from some Of the
men they have investigated are to
indicate that the ramilcations of the
frauds extend throughout the country.
