Herman-W White.

, Hymen, the god of marriage, who
has smiled many million times in the
last million years. wore broad smile
on the morning of Wednesday, June
the 18th. when Mr.. ] Henry Herman
was united in marriage to Miss Marga-
ret Lee White. The ceremony was
performed in Meridian, Rev. Mr.. Cody
of the Presbyterian church officiating.
The wedding was to haye been in Hat
tiesburg where the bride has made her
home, but her father, who lives at
Philadelphia, could not get to Hatties-
burg, but met them in Meridian and
they were maraied there. Mrs. Her
man is handsome and attractive lady
and is heartily welcomed to Noxubee
by the numerous friends of her husband.
AS for Mr.. Herman he is one of the
most popular men in the county, and
under the title of Duke of Plum Creek
given him by his admirers. has estab-
lished fine business on the Fairfield
road two miles out from Macon where
it crosses the creek, the name of which
appears in Mr.. Herman's ducal title.

result of this law Macon at present can
retire about $4,000 worth of bonds.
The present total bond issue amounts to
about $87. 900. The limit Is about $780,
600. When the $l2, 200 worth of bonds
are retired it will leave a margin of
about $25. 900, which can be issued and
expended for a sewerage system. This
will not entirely cover the cost of
sewerage system but will very nearly
do SO. and | am sure that the small
balance necessary can be obtained in
some way for this purpose.
The sanitary condition of this town is
constant source Of danger to every
inhabtant. II we should have . few
cases of typhoid fever it would surely
become epidemic and the results would
be horrifying and the price greaa In the
most valuable possession which IL hu-
man life. We all love life and we also
love health, and why jeopardize both
for trifling sum Of money.
The object of this article is te try to
create public sentiment in favor of
sewerage system for the town. It is
useless to go further into the details of
the conditions existing here because of
the fact that we have no adequate
means of taking care of the waste.
These facts are well known to both res
idents and transients. hope every
person in town will favor this and will
talk about it and DO what they can to-
ward getting sewerage system for
the town. j. NJ. STANLEY,
City Health Officer.

Why Not Sewerage System for Macon

The sanitary condition of the town is
deplorable and will continue 80 in spite
of all effort until the problem of the
proper disposal of waste is solved.
Why should the health of the entire
community Re jeopardized because of
the conditions that exist, when they
can be corrected.
Macon is now in a condition, finan-
cially to construct sewerage system
and this is che only solution of the
problem. The last legislature passed a
law permitting corporations to use the
sinking funds for retiring bonds at any
time the bonds can he secured. Az q

popular melodies novel to the
surroundings, but certainly as
appropriate for the occasion as
Yankee Doodle. 1t might be
that the maiden in blue and the
maiden in gray. after having
reached the celestial heights al
luded to by shining up a shaft
of granite Truth-a performance
likely to be observed by the male
portion of the terrestrial popula-
ton with interest and curiosity
and to be regarded by the female
sections as indecorous, undigni-
fled and unladylike-might fail
of welcome. Undertaking to
cause the wide arches of Heaven
to reverberate to the harmless
but impressive adventures of
Yankee Doodle doo," it is possi-
BILE that they miget be invited to
return to earth the way they
came and then be kind enough
not to appear again, in any cir
cumstances. above the clouds or
in the sanctuary. st. Peter
might hint automatically that
their musical talent and program
probably would be enjoyed else
where; and in that case the maid
ems would be in an unpleasant
fix, with prospects more exciting
than satisfactory. 1t would be a
risky business to send maidels
to chant yankee Doodle" and
Dixie" in Heaven; for the sue
cess there of those melodies
would be doubtful.

lis a daring man of aspiring and
glittering fancies, and probably
he knows his constituency. We
may assume that the people who
sent him to the United States
senate will admire the word
painting we have quoted as al
most supernaturally eloquent and
perfectly lovely and that Varda-
man admires it himself. He can
imagine two maidens with flags
singing Yankee Doodle" in the
sanctuary of Heaven with the
Cherubim and Seraphim volun-
teering as chorus and accompani-
ment; but we cannot imagine a
man with as little sense of humor
as he must possess having brains
enough to scramble or sense
enough to tote offal to tame bear
with proper directness or reas-
enable discretion.
Why and how do Southern
states send freaks of that kind
to the most important and digni-
fled legislative body in the world.

FOREIGN COMMENT.
rom the NashriRe (Tennl Banner.

From the Nashville (Tenn.l Banner
The senior Senator from Mis-
sissippi has not been heard from
so much since he became a mem
Der of the upper branch of Con-
gress as he was when he was
Democratic leader in the House,
but there are occasional indica-
tions that he is making an i'm
preston there. Mark Sullivan,
writing in Golfers Weekly, says:
d Of all the men in the United
States Senate, the one who comes
as near as any other to deserving
to be called a statesman is John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
There are many Senators whose
names are more frequently in the
papers, many who are more con-
spicuous on the floor of the Sem
ate, and many who have a great
er capacity and devotion to the
drudgery of legislative detail,
but none who so invariably COM
bine learning and original thought
in their contributions to the de-
bates. Any person reading the
Congressional Record is conscious
when he comes to an utterance
by Senator Williams that the
type seems to raise itself above
the rest Of the page. What he
says is always based on the fun
damental philosophy of govern
ment. In a long experience of
reading the Congressional Record
the present writer has never
seen an uttcrance in which Sena-
tor Williams appeared merely as
a partisan. He never states
merely his own case; he always
states the other side just as fair
ly; he never takes a dialectic ad-
vantage. Ee has the air Of put
ting everything from every side
on the table, and then sitting
about to find the combination
which is truth. Frequently he
speaks with deep conviction. but
in his utterances there is always
that wiiiciaaindicatss study of-all'
points ofview and tolerance even
for a point of view which he
strongly disapproves.
Senator Williams is the type of
man most needed in public life.
He is thoroughly educated and a
deep student. There are too
many Senators and Representa-
tives whohave but surface
knowledge of the things they are
brought to consider. no powers
of trained thought and little of
either inclination or ability to
study.
Men Of this kind are often the
most opinionated and headstrong.
ThfJ are always rank partisans
and are utterly unable to present
a question in all its bearings with
the logical nicely that Mark Sui
livan says Senator Williams does.
If they have the natural capacity
they never learned how.
Senator Williams colleague,
Senator Vardaman. presents a
case in point. He is never likely
to be complimented on either the
fairness or clarity Of his reason
ing, but if the opportunity is af-
forded he may make some ultra
partisan outbreak of a sensation
al character that will please
some of his constituents better.
If John Sharp Williams had
not been a pleasing public speak
er and possessed of the saving
grace of humor withal, his supe-
rior education and l,gical quail
ties would not have enabled him
to defeat Vardaman when the
two contested for the senatorial
nomination in the Mississippi
primary.
