Mr.. J. G. Chandler for Saperin-
fsndenf of Education.

We announce In this issue Mr.. j. G.
Chandler as acandidate for Superinten-
dent of Education for Noxubee county.
Mr.. Chandler came to this county
several years ago and has been SO we'll
identified with the educational interests
of the county and is so favorably known
that he needs little introduction to the
voters from the Beacon. 1t is sufficient
to say that he has made good in the
different positions has held as every
one connected with the institutions can
testify. He was assistant principal of
the Macon High School for two terms,
was principal one year and afterwards
principal of the Agricultural High
School at Mashulaville. He is compe-
tent for the work. as has been shown
from his past record, and will appre-
ciate the votes Of the citizens of the
county.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1915-01-29

To the Editor of the Beacon:
AS we are to elect officers this year,
| wish to call out a couple of candi-
dates.
First, I want to call the Hon. Iva L.
Dorroh to stand for the Senate. He is
a Noxubee raised boy and has an hon
orable and enviable record made as
representative in the lower house of
the legislature. Mr.. Dorroh is too
well known to need any eulogy at the
hands of any body. His we'll known
legal ability and high character are suf-
fcient guarantees that he would make
senator we'll worthy of the mantel
lately worn by our lamented Walter
Price.
Next, l wish to call my good hearted
friend, Bob Evans, for county treasur-
err. The funds of the county would be
safe in his hands. No better man for
the place could be found. Every body
who knows Bob likes him and those
who have known him longest are his
best friends. If he will consent to run
feel sure his old friends from West
Noxubee will stand by him to a man.
Yours truly,
Jan. 18th, 1915. SOVEREIGN VOTER.

Henry Minor for the Senate.

THE BEACON announces in this issue
Mr.. Henry Minor as a candidate for the
Senate from this, the 10th senatorial
district. Mr.. Minor was elected as
representative from this county to the
legislature four years ago. He was
well known at the capital, having a
year or two previous to that time spent
several months there indexing the code
and when the legislature convened,
Speaker Quinn, in recognizing his
known ability, made him chairman of
the committee of Local and Private Leg
islation, one of the most important
committees and the most important
Craftsmanship held by a Noxubeean
since John R. Dinsmore held the same
position. This committee handles about
one-fourth of the business of the House.
It was matter of general comment
how we'll and thoroughly this work was
done by Mr.. Minor.
1t is worthy of note that while the
Senate committee was under suspicion
and charges of bribery was made
against some of its members, the House
committee was held above suspicion.
That Mr.. Minor possessed the con-
fidence of the House in a note worthy
degree is evidence by his ability to get
measures through and defeat others and
as testified to by his colleagues. By
motion, he appeared three times before
the Senate in 1914, very high compli- |
ment to member of the House.
In 1914 he introduced and secured the |
passage of much good road Legislation.
His friends feel that the record he |
made will insure his promotion at the |
hanes of the people of Noxubee.

Negro Murderer in Jail.

Will, alias Junk Anderson was sent
to jail without benefit of bail yeste r,lev

negro named Cockrell who was ar
rested as an accomplish, along with his
wife and a woman who was an inmate
of the house. The murderer went
across the state line, which is only a
short distance from the scene of the
killing into Alabama and returned and
was captured few DAYS ago and plac-
ed in Jail. Cockrel ana the woman
were released on bond.
Anderson, the murderer, is son of
Nose Anderson, who was hung several
years ago for the murder of Mr.. Gle

Vernon Adams.

A young man comes out this year for
circuit clerk as will be seen by tina an
nouncement in this issue of Vernon
Adams. Mr.. Adams was born out in
the Salem neighborhood, which has
furnished so many of the men consti-
tuting the bore and new of the coun-
ty, and has always lived in the county
After leaving school he went into bust
ness and for the last few years has been
with W. M. Hunter & Co., at Nashua
vile. He has established the character
of being thoroughly capable and effic-
lent business man, clear headed, fair
and energetic. His friends believe he
will make splendid circuit clerk, and
are enthusiastic in their support of him.
With the two announced candidates in
the field, the race for circuit clerk is
sure to be notable one.

"Skinnine a Skunk. +"

The Conversion of Governor Patterson.
All over this country they advertise
Mr.. Patterson's conversion as almost
as miraculous as the conversion of St..
Paul." OF course, there is nothing in
the world more disgusting to me than
that comparison, and they compel me
to make contrast the conversion of
st. Paul with the conversion of Patter-
son. You will find st. Paul was Jour-
neying to Damascus, and at noontide
there sbone around about him "a great
white light brighter than the sun. I"
Patterson will not deny that when he
got converted there shone around about
him ''red light in the city of Nash
vile, Tenn. (Applause.) The man
named Ananias, who was sent to st.
Paul, found him at the house of Judas
on street called Straight. This man
was sent of God to find Paul. But, ac-
cording to the police records of Nash
vile, Tenn, the twelve men who found
Patterson were sent by the chief of po-
lice of that city. cloud applause
Instead of finding him in house on
street called Straight, they found MIN
in house of ill-fame on street that
was crooked (Applause.) And here
is another thing: Mr.. Patterson says
and / have got his statement that
he became SO drunk that he didn't
know where he was going when he went
to this house of i'll fame-that he had
lost all sense of responsibility. Well,
why didn't he drop into livery stable
or a church? loud applause) There
were plenty of them on the way.
Compare this mans conversion to that
of st. Paul! st. Paul became Chris
tan; Paterson became prohibitionists.
(Applause.) st. Paul went out to
preach that if righteousness come by
law then is Christ died in vain, while
Patterson is preaching the virtue of law
as a means of grace and redemption.
(Appause) That is the difference.
Now, my friends. Patterson had been
wet, had been on the wet side up to
that point; and he knew that the liquor
interests of this country could not use
a man that had been arrested under
circumstances; that he could new
er again appear on platform in favor
of the vets. That is what he knew
that his usefulness was at an end so far
as the liberal cause was concerned. |
But this is what Patterson also knew:
He knew that if he announced his con-
version to prohibition, that all of his
past wohld be instantly forgiven that
the Anto- Saloon League would receive
him to its bosom, wipe out the past,
give him certificate of specification,
take him into the full fellowship, bap-
tie and make him a bishop, and put
him on the payroll. This was the oc-
,asionI and this the description of Pat
,ersoHs wonderful conversion hat
preachers are calling today miracle
almost as miraculous as the conversion

Senator John Sharp Williams
claims that a mint toddy, while
pleasant, is only a temporary en-
joyment, and therefore he can
get alone without it. He might
say the same thing about a bath.
but if he should attempt to get
along without an occasional ablu-
ton he would have to summon
all of his eloquence to make peace
with the missus when he goes
home. -Scimitar.
One wonders what John Sharp
would have to say about a person
who does not differentiate be-
tween the spiritual, moral and
physical effects of a bath and a
hot toddy,

The Secret Caucus" Bueaboo.

We have not heard anything of
the TRADE waged against the eau
Gus in our state two years ago, for
a long time. This was carried on
through malice and ignorance on
the one hand and thoughtlessness
on the other, and thousands of
good people were convinced that a
great wrong had been perpetrated.
Since then they have witnessed
continual caucuses in congress and
in every legislature in America
without hearing single protest,
and naturally wonder "where they
are at" Moreover all the eau
cuses abroad that they have read
of, congressional and state, have
been secret caucuses behind clos.
ed doors and with galleries, clear
ed, whereas our Hhorror of hor-
rors" down at Jackson, was held
with galleries filled with auditors,
and open to press and people.
That "secret caucus" so called,
furore, was the joke of the age, or
would have been but for it's traffic
influence upon the minds of thou
sands of honest but deluded peo-
pie, and but for it's success in
transfer of power to the conspira.
tors. In every country at some
stage of history the same baneful
spirit has pervaded and controlled.

Death OF Capt. Frank johnston.

The Clarion Ledger is this morn
ing called upon to chronicle the
death of Capt. Frank Johnston,
one of the states most prominent
citizens,' a native Mississippian
who has left his impress upon the
history of the commonwealth. A
gallant Confederate soldier with a
proud record, his old commander,
Capt. Ratliff, saying he had never
known a Drawer soldier than the
deceased; an able and conscien-
tious lawyer, who had won some
of the largest cases tried in the
civil courts; a splendid state off
Ger, whose work speaks for itself;
a gentleman and worthy citizen,
whom to know was an honor and
pleasure; Christian gentleman,
the noblest work of God.
Capt. Johnston not only gave
four years of his life to his coun-
try, enlisting when he was 10, but
devoting years in assisting to
wrest it from Republican control,
asking no recognition for his serv-
ices after the overthrow of Ames
in 1876.
He was the author of many
wholesome reforms in this state aft
er the Democracy had gained con.
troll, his browning achievement be.

Capt. Johnston was never an of.
seeker, but always an earnest
purity worker. lie had an extern
'ive acquaintance with the leading
men of the state, by whom he was
highly esteemed for his ability and
fine social qualities.
He has served his state well on
the field of battle, on the forum,
in the political arena, in Office,
whenever he was trusted with a |
commission; and now that his life's
work is ended. and he has crossed

The Dream of Neutrality.

An eIlOrC is Delng maze TO pass
bill in our National Congress
forbidding the sale of any NUM-
tons of war to the belligerent
powers of Europe. 1t is urged
as means of stopping the war.
If America does not furnish the
sinews the war cannot continue.
1t is furthermore argued that our
position of neutrality demands it.
A big Neutrality league has
been formed to press the adop-
ton of this suggested legislation.
Mass meetings have been helt
throughout the country propagat-
ing the spirit of neutrality. The
columns of the newspapers ar,
crowded with letters from people
in every walk of life, preaching
the doctrine of neutrality. From
Washington came the advice that
Americans abstain from discus
sion of the war and assume q
neutral attitude. Theaters and
cafes have barred "Tipperary"
and "Deuthland Ueber Allies. y
We have. become obsessed with
the idea that it makes no differ
ence to the true American who
wins in the big European fight.
The divinely appointed destiny
of America is to play referee and
give the decision after one of the
combatants has been defeated.
This is our beautiful dream of
neutrality.
We doubt if there is a genuine
Simon pure neutral in the length
and breadth of the land. If
there be one he probably don't
know there is any war in Europe.
There never was a normal human
being that did not take sides in a
fight between two strange dogs.
When a man acts the part of
judge between contestants he has
to harden his heart to feeling and
human sentiment. He gives his
decision with a wrench at his
heart strings. 1t does not follow
his sympathies or his desires.
Every one of us is interested
in the European war. Each is
looking at it from his own angle.
1t is easy to speak in the abstract
of neutrality. 1t is hard to ask
a man who was rocked to sleep
in a German cradle to be indif-
ferent to the cries Of agony that
come from his brothers in the
Fatherland. 1t is hard to talk
neutrality to t he Frenchman
whose father fell before Paris
when the beautiful capital of his
native land was invaded by the
hated Prussian. Can you ask the
Belgian to be neutral when he
pictures the smoking ruins of
Louvain or Antwerp? They are
all Americans now, but a mans
owe for his wife does not make
him forget his mother. This
neutrality talk may mean some
hing for a man who has no heart,
10 soul, no haunting memory,
,ut the war means too much to
he average man to expect him to
,e neutral.
The one thing for all of us to
10 is to be frank about it and
how decent respect for the OPT

FROM THE PEOPLE.

1t is reported from the northern and
western parts of the county that there
is some hog cholera still extant. Any
one who has suspicious case of sick
ness in his herd of hogs should isolate
II at once and change quarters of the
rest of the herd. If the hog should
die and you are not satisfied with the
examination you make, a veterinarian
should be called in Immediately to make
a post martum examination.
Every one should have the serum
treatment given his entire
herd. This will not be very expensive
and it gives you absolute protection
because the hogs are then immunized
against cholera. for lefe.
