THE ELECTION.

After a splendid long uphill fight, Harden
Brooks was defeated for congress. He has &C.
cepted his defeat bravely and gracefully.
His friends cantfnd much to congratulate him
on despite the adverse result. He got many more
votes than any preceding candidate against Mr..
Gambler. Moreover, no losing candidate for con-
gress this year in Mississippi, received SO many
votes as he, and one winning one, Pat Harrison,
did not get so many. He has something more than
1000 friends in the district-an honor to any man.
Noxubee can be proud Of her candidate even if
he did not win.

ed by not being tout to Old Cavett's,"
at the meeting OF the Blue and the Gray
there last Friday, August 18th.
We were not there but We know what
we missed because we have been there
heretofore.
We know ''Old Cavett'' from A to
lizard from Alpha to Omega, from Key
West to Kalamazoo, from Boston Har-
Dor to the PactoIean sands of the Paci-
fic's shore-know him through and
through, by and large, in the path or
out, FIRST, last and all the time, ands
know his dependability as well as any
man, for no man knows just when or
where or how or upon what slight
provacation he isIgoing to make a break
turn loose and tell, and when he does
turn loose and start to telling, the.
Lord only knows what he is going to
tell or where he is going to stop.
q He has two things to his credit and
to as great an extent as any man we
have ever known, to-wit: He is. in
whathe tells, as unsparing of himself
as ne is of others; and he never cells
anything of others with intent to leave
a strong, unless he believes he has ius-
tificable cause.
But when he feels he has sufficient
provocation, he is as unsparing as the
unrelenting King of the Hun, who. in.
the fifth century, won for himself the
title. The Scourge of God.

G PARAGRAPHS G
ORIGINAL AND OTHERWISE


The paragraph fiend-He was made
a 6end by the toughness of his job--of
the New Orleans Daily States in his
column, which he captions "The Pass
ing Show" has this to say:
Thus writes an unknown friend: Eyes,
paragraph writing is no easy Job, but just
think OF how much good you are doing
Your old friends extend a hearty shake and
say, Keep 1t up for we need it in these trou.
blesome war times" 1t is gratifying to feel
that ones work is appreciated, and also to
know that there are people outside of a
newspaper office who have some knowledge
of the fact that writing a column of para
graphs every day is not as easy as making
gum drops in a candy factory"
This writer has had no experience at
the job, but he's going to try his hand.
The results will follow.

AS IT OUGHT TO BE.

Down on the Sea Coast congressional district of
Mississippi, Bilboism received a severe check, if
not a shock, and a rebuke in the Democratic nomi-
mating primary held on Tuesday last.
No candidate for congress anywhere in Missis-
sippi ever before was so overwhelmingly defeated
as was the case with DR.. Donald, of Hatties-
burg, Forrest county, who ran against Pat Harri-
son, and made as vigorous campaign as he could.
Mr.. Harrison was detained in Washington by
his congressional duties and was unable to make
any canvass whatever and yet he defeated the
would be legislation traffcker" all over the dis
trict seven or eight and possible ten to one.
Further comment is unnecessary.
And so. too, in another election of which the
Beacon will have something more to say later.

grind exceedingly small. or words to that effect.

"You are uneasy; you never sailed

How, where did Jackson get that?
Well. about 1900 years ago, julius Cea-
sar said practically the same thing,
only he said it better than did Andrew
Jackson.
The story, as it is handed down to
later times, relates that on one occasion
when, like the / hief of Ulva's Isle, who
was making off with Lord Unen's
daughter, Caesar, had to cross stormy
water and when the boatmer became
frightened and lost his head, the great
captain with sublime confidence in his
destiny, said to him:
"Hsve no fear-thou carriestL Caesar
and his fortunes!"
Under like circumstances, the would
be Napoleon of MISSISSIPPI. politics,
doubtless, would have said:
Row, brothers, row. the stream runs
faSt,
The rapids are near. and the daylight's
oh. I'm the white Chief and the Peoples
Choice,
Put me ashore, please. and they'll all re-
joice.
It's well enough, as we go along, to
scatter a few chunks of information
selected from The paragraphist s roper
tory.
Some folks, whose simplicity of char
acter is only equalled by their charity

of much learning; while others. older in
the ways Of wickedness land more ex-

Who's Who," and "How to Do It."

Mississippi is the only State in the Union in which the
negro voter is not an active participant in politics. This
fact imposes an obligation of Justice and honor upon his
white ~neighbors. 1t we assume political responsibility
for him, it should be our pleasure and pride, as well as
our duty to see that he is fairly ard equitably treated in
all matters involving his life, liberty, property and hap
piness. We have in this matter shouldered tremendous
responsibility, and God will not hold us guiltless if we
fail in the execution of the great trust.
The foregoing from the Aberdeen Examiner has
the ring of the true metal.
1t betrays the heart of it's author, Major S. A.
Jonas, who if not the Nestor of the Mississippi
press, is one of the oldest in years and, barring
Hon. J.. s.. McNeilly, perhaps the oldest in contin-
led newspaper service.
The sentiments expressed bear upon a question
If deep and abiding Importance to Mississippians.
They breathe not only the essence of a christian
spirit but the air of patriotic purpose and states

In dealing with the problem with which the ne
gro's presence in our midst c%onfronts Mississip.
plans, if we would observe the divine injunction
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which
be Caesars, and unto God the things which be
Gods there is no room for clap trap, artful decla-
nation, and Cheap John appeals to passion and
prejudice.
All our best efforts should be in the direction of
seeking the best enlightenment to be had on the
question, and then dealing with it as nearly as pos
sible in the spirit of the golden rule laid down by
Christ for our instruction and guidance.
The negro should be protected as far as ~practic-
able both against himself, and against those of
the white race, whose ~scruples are small enough
to permit them to over reach him and, playing
upon the credulity and the fears, resulting from
his talk of education and business opportunities to
hold him up and rob him in the name of law or of
a so-called contract.
THE BEACON takes no stock in the silly asser-
ton made by Mississippi's Junior United States
Senator in his sensational speech a few months
ago when he solemnly declared that every white
woman in the black belt of the south is in a state
of siege"
That is not the case anywhere in Mississippi.
1t certainly, is 70 where the case in the black
belt of Noxubee, where white men living on their
plantations or smaller farms surrounded by the
blacks, sleep in peace feeling assured their wives
and daughters are absolutely safe.
Do you doubt it, you gentlemen who see in the
so-called White Chief of Mississippi. a parapon
of political excellence, possessing every virtue. and
a sage and stateman. in those wisdom and patrio-
tism, there is no fault or flaw!
If you do, go ask Emmett Cavett and John
Poindexter, j. B, Gurler, the Cavett Bros. or any
one of the hundreds of white men, good and true,
living on their country places in Noxubee county,
whose daily lives and habits give the lie most en-
phatically to the senator's ill-tuned, senseless.
illogical and wholly erroneous declaration.
