WHAT UNCLE zEKE SAYS:


Did you ever go into a town and.

IL strike YOU suddenly that the town
was dead? Have yon ever had a
town described to you as a a dead
town? Have you ever stopped to
analyze just what is meant by these
words dead town." In the least
analysis they mean Just one thing
and that is that the merchants OF the
town don't advertise A dead town
has certain positive aspects of demise
which are as bold as piece of crepe
hanging on the door of a private
house. The stores seem to be mere
~ existing. Their shelves are COW

goods. The storekeepers seem to be

knock the town, they knock business.
they knock the mail order house.
They were continually complaining
that other people did business and
made money but they didn't seem to
be able TO sell anything. They guess
ed il was the town. Yes, that was
1.-THE town. II you asked the mer-
chant If he advertised, he would
have looked at you with amazement
What was the use of advertising when
business was so bad? People who had
money TO spend, he would tell you.
We're sending 1t to the mail order
houses. No, he would say he didn't
advertise? He wouldn't throw good
money after bad. On the other
hand, go into live town and what
viii you see? The merchants have
attractive displays in their stores.
The daily or weekly newspapers are
filled with big announcements of
special sales or low priced goods.
They are not afraid OF the mail or
der houses because they have the
same means OF reaching the people
adyertising-that makes the mail
order house great. The merchants
have their local association for mu-
tual help, and behind the associa-
ton the local newspaper is pushing,
pushing, pushing. Everybody is
working and everybody is happy and
boosting. II yon want live town

newspaper viii do the rest. Forget
the timeworn argument that the pa
per is a dead one. The paper is

Death Of Mr.. JnO. Z. Grace.

The sudden and unexpected death
last Saturday morning at about z o'clock
of Mr.. John L. Grace came as a shock
to the citizens of Macon. He had been
unwell for a week or more, but for sew
eral days before his death he was on
the streets of Macon. While in the act
of putting on his collar Saturday morn
ing he suddenly sank to the floor and
died before medical aid could reach
him.
Mr.. Grace came to Macon from Ma
rion, Miss. in the early seventies and
has lived here ever since, being promi-
nent all that time in the religious, poll
teal and business interests of the town.
In 1900 he married Miss Lula Walthall,
who died few years after her mar
rage while on visit to her sister in
North Carolina.
Mr.. Grace was in the mercantile bus
mess at the depot here for nearly 80
years but latterly devoted most of his
time to the business of the Standard
Oil Co., which he has represented in
the county for many years. Mr.. Grace
has been alderman of the city for TWEEN
ty-seven years, and was Mason. Odd
Fellow and Knights of Pythias and was
long prominent in the Methodist church

The Political Pot, Continued

Last week the BEACON had g
short article giving the politica
gossip of the county for this
years election, as it had come tc
this paper. 1t was nothing but
gossip, committed no one, prais-
ed no one and condemned no one.
Mr.. Poindexter, as his card in
dicates, thinks it was an effort to
Smoke out candidates for the
Senate. !" He is mistaken. So
for as any one connected with
the BEACON is concerned there
is no desire to stir up any agita-
ton as to that office. But who
were probable candidates was {
piece of political news and giver
in a way as he says perfectly
fair to all. E"
Other candidates for this anC
other Offices may come out. To
all of them the BEACON is goiI
to be as fair and just as it know
how to be, and-let this be plaii
ly understood-with no ulteriol
motives and no unfair play.

Don't BE Fooled.

The price of cotton is showing
a disposition to advance some
now. This movement in the mar
ket should not be misunderstood
by the southern farmers. 1t will
soon be time to begin prepara-
tions for this years crop and
those interested in cheap cotton
do not want to see a real deep
cut in cotton acreage. In fact,
they do not want to see any cut
at all. They are interested in
cheap cotton. That is no doubt
the influence that is pushing the
price of cotton W now. They
will, in all probability, continue
to do so until the time for the
planting has passed and then, if
they have fooled the people into
planting again largely to cotton
you will see them run the mar
ket down to five cents and keep
it there until all of this crop is
forced on the market and the
next crop. too. This is the time
for the Southern Cotton Growers
to beware Of the Greeks bearing
gifts. You have resolved in your
own mind to cut your acreage at
least forty to fifty per cent and
don't let a little advance in the
price of the staple cause you to
change your plan. When plant
ing time is over if it develops
that acreage has, in reality, been
severely curtailed then the price
Of cotton will 90 up sure enough.

Death of Mr.. w. II. Sanders.

Mr.. w, H. Sanders died January I'll
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. j
E. Sparkman, at the age of seven-twt
years. The body was taken to his ole
home at West Greene, Ala. for burial.
He had been in failing health for sew,
eral weeks and that he succomed to La.
Grippe was not unexpected.
MIR. Sanders was born and reared in
Greene county, Ala, being the son OF
DR.. Sanders, prominent physician of
Eutaw, Ala.
Few men possess as refined and gen
tie manners as did Mr. Sanders. He
was by nature very sympathetic and
was a devoted father and grandfather.
He served throughout the CIVIL war
ard was a brave and true soldier.
While ever remembering the hardships
of battles, he had laid aside all malice
and i'll will, and there never was a truer
union than the reunion which he at
tended at Gettysburg, Pa, July 1st,
1918, with his northern friends as well
as with his comrades of the south.
He was member of the Methodist
church. Besides numerous of friends,
he leaves only one daughter and two
sisters to moan his death.
COZ all our loving Fathers gifts
often wonder which is best,
And cry: Dear God, the one that gifts
Our soul from WEAKNESS to rest,
The rest of heaven-that is BEST"

Farmers Institute, Jan. 10Th.
The Farmers Institute will be held
at the following places on the fol ow-
ing dates:

AT these meetings it is proposed to
discuss two subjects which are of vital
Importance to the farmers of the Prai-
RE section. We will have men thor
oughly posted to discuss the breeding
and feeding of beef cattle, and we have
been fortunate in securing the services
of Mr.. W, M. Newton, of the Board
of Trade of Birmingham, Ala, who is
an expert on hay.
In the past many hay growers who
were familiar with the classes and
grades of hay, have shipped their hay
to markets improperly graded. This
has resulted not only in loss to the
shipper but has caused misunderstand-
ing between the grower and the COM
mission men. Mr.. Newton will not
only discuss the growing and shipping
of hay and the market grades, but we
will have at each meeting several sam
Piles of hay and have been him grade it
and show the farmers the differences IN
the grades.
The prairie section is one of the best
hay sections in the south and is now
large quantities of both John
son grass and alfalfa hay. These meet
ings will furnish an opportunity for
every grower to study the grades of
hay under an expert, and we feel sure
that the meetings will result in great I
good to the growers of this section.

The Tyranny of the Present.

We are all creatures of moods
says an exchange. Even tn {
strongest have their moments OF
unaccountable depression as ofun-
accountable gayety - moments
when it takes immense efforts to
perform the ordinary actions OF
life, and an effort still more i'm
mense to believe that they are
worth performing. Very strong,
healthy, well balanced men get
the grippe. and like the child who
has been denied toy, see the
world all black and empty.
The present is enormous in its
hold on us, and trivial circum-
stances have a momentary but
overwhelming significance. A dull
day, heavy fog, a close south
wind,-especially when we want
ed sunshine seem to take the
sparkle even out of our thoughts,
seem to make what we hoped would
be solid pleasure ''stale. flat, and
Improbable" No man was more
constitutionally optimistic than
Emerson; few men were less visit
ed by the powers of melancholy
and darkness; yet even Emerson
could write of the "vast debility
that some of us know so well as
shattering and undermining all
courage and all hope.
A great help at such times is
wise use of the imagination. I'm
agination is bad master, but a
magnificent servant. Always to
be dreaming of what we might do
means little done; always to be
dreaming of things we might have
breeds not satisfaction, but dis
content, But the other side of
it is the constant realization that
things might be much worse than
they are, that they have been bet.
ter, and will be better again. I'm
agination is the surest and best
protector against the tyranny Of
the present. ;
When everything goes wrong
and you feel discouraged, or in the
still worse moods when nothing
has really gone wrong, and you
know it, aud yet the tears come,
and you have no hope nor vigor !
and no energy, try to make even
q little use of that faithful helper, n
Remember that you a
have felt to before and have ceas- d
ed to feel so, have even looked
back with gay contempt on such
misery. With the
imagination of pleasant things and
lure delights to come as a guide
Ind comforter, slip away from the
clutch of the tyrannous present.
Like many other monsters, it is ,
more easily tricked and lodged j
han openly combated.

Bank Loons on Cattle.

Everybody, including the bank,
ers, are preaching farm diversi-
fcation-cattle raising, in the
cotton region. Without presum-
ing to teach the custodians of the
community cash how to invest
their funds, the following from
Wall Street Journal to the prac-
tice for which all preach:
Section 10 of the Federal re-
serve act contains paragraph
which may have much to do with
the future supply of meat and
leather. This is a provision per-
hitting notes of six months ma
turity. secured by livestock, to
be discounted.
The domestic supply Of beef
and leather rests with the small
farmer, since range operations
are passing away. The chief
stumbling block is lack of capital.
A farmer can turn his cotton
crops into money once a year.
But crop of beef and leather
takes four years. Generally he
has not sufficient capital to do
this.
Bankers accustomed to loan on
the security of cotton safe in a
warehouse might look askance at
four-legged security. They
would consider it more mobile
than liquid. Yet experience
proves the contrary. Bankers in
the middle west. who are fami-
liar with this class of security,
say it is of the best. An official
Of Chicago bank recently said:
II believe livestock has be-
csme the best security in Ameri-
ca. 1t can be classed as a liquid
asset. AS a short time in
vestment it is a classic. "
The federal reserve act gives
national banks an opportunity to
loan on this class OF security.
