Another Macon boy who has distinct

Cavett Binion who is now sheriff of
Oklahoma county, Oklahoma. in which
Oklahoma City is located.
He was elected by the support of the
law enforcement element in the county
and is enforcing the law to the distress
OF those wishing a w~ide-open city. The
reports are that because of his pro-
nounced position on the question and
his known courage and capacity, there
is practically no gambling or whiskey
selling in the county.
Mr.. Binion is the son of the late DR..
A. II. Binion and a nephew of Mr..
Deale Binion. He left Macon about
twenty-five years ago, but is still well
remembered here.

Don't be afraid to do your duty
because someone ridicules or Op.

have opposition in this world be-
cause he runs contrary to other

right ahead if your conscience is
clear. Don't bother yourself about

too short for that. Some abuse

The Recent Weather.

The twenty-six days..of September
have been made up of IL cloudy. 8
rainy and 6 clear days. The h CHEST
temperature registered was l02, on tn,
4th-one Of the warmest of the sum
mer. the lowest was 43, recor e1 OF
the ed. Other stations in the South
report this the lowest temperatui e
recorded in fifteen years. The rainfa
to date for month has been a fraction
yer five inches, an excess for the nor.
NAL. or ten yeer average, of 1.80.
There is a deficiency to date for the
year Of 5:4 inches.
The down-pour of rain last week,
judging from the rise in the river, and
reports received from the southeastern
portion of the county, was much heavier
In those sections than in the central
part of the county. The rain, while
OF great benefit to the grass, for
hay. and the pastures for cattle, was
disastrous to cotton, as the grade wss
damaged considerably and all the cot
ton that had been blown out totally
lost. On account of the bad weather
OF last week cotton picking was stopped
almost entirely but the clear days this
week have been taken advantage of,
judging from the number Of wagons
filled with cotton that are lined I'D
around the gins.

Lesalized Robbery.

Less than one year ago tn,
Union Bank & Trust Company al
Meridian closed its doors and went
into the hands of receivers.
A few days since Chancellor
Sam Whitman approved an ac
count submitted by the two re
ceivers, Joe A. Mccain and W. G.
Moore, and their attorneys, Nc
Beath q Miller and s. M. Houston,
allowing them $50, coo for their
services to date.
The receivership was authorized
by the courts last November. Thus
it is apparent that, for a period OF
ten months, these men have been
paid an average of &c. 900 each,
or 81, 900 per month.
Unjust he admitted that this is
a very nifty sum, especially in
view of the fact that the duties Cf
the receivership have occupied hut
a small part of the time of these
men each day.
Up to date the depositors and
creditors Of the defunct bank have
received aboutStO0, 900, which rep.
resents fifty percent ofthe amounts
due them.
In other words, it has cost one
dollar for every two dollars of the
banks assets converted into cash
by the receivers.
We understood that fees for re-
ceiverships are fixed by statute.
If this be true, then an amend,
ment is needed that will check

survey for this county three years ago,
spent n day or two this week with Mr..
Crosby on his farm four miles east of

survey of the lands of Bullock county.
Alabama, and he says he finds the same
type of lands there as in this county.
and in population of whites and blacks
the proportion is about the ame A
similar condition prevails as regards
the boil weevil, but he SAYS that Noxu-
bee is much better prepared to figh,
the pest. Only one county separates
Bullock county from Georgia, and one
can e from this that the weevil will
soon reach the Atlantic coast. Mr..
Smith was much pleased with the many
improvements he notices since he was
here three years ago-not only the
roads. but the farms. fences and en-
eral agricultural and business conditions.
