Cdntata at Boptist Church.

|
An unusually elaborate and beautiful
musical programme was splendid car
ried out at the First BaptstI church
last Friday evening, The choir assist
ed by other local talent gave Gabriel's
b eutiful cantata "The Nazarene,"
twenty voices taking part.
An audience that filled the church to
yerhowng heard the music and many
expressions of pleasure and apprecia-
tion heard since testify to the success
of the evening.
The cantata starts with the ancient
prosphecies of the coming of Christ and
after depicting various scenes of His
life, closes with the Resurrection. Mr..
Wyatt Jones' excellent redition of the
Prophecy" was greatly enjoyed. He
has voice of marked sweetness of
tone and it was exoellently suited to
this solo. DR.. Barclay gave an artis-
tic Interpretation of his trained solo
work in "Blessed Is He" which called
for triumphant notes, and again in
pathos when he sang, "The Man of
Sorrow" Mrs McMillin sang with
her usual skill and taste "Be Not At
frighted" and 'Thou Art The King"
Her voice and stage presence are both
attractive and always please Macon
audiences. This was followed up by
a pleasing tenor solo, 1.-THE Great
Commandment" by Mr.. Joe ].
Scott. Mr.. George Richmond fine
ly rendered THE Graves Are Opened"
and "The God of Abraham" both
songs exhibiting the organ like rich
ness of his voice. Mrs. Herzberg, al
ways favorite, sang splendidly solo
depicting the death on the cross, and
in quintette, took the solo part.
Solos were also excellently sung by Mrs
Dunn and Miss Bonita Purser. There
were duets by Mrs. McMillin and DR..
Barclay, and Mr.. Richmond and DIR.
Barclay. Another solo much enjoyed
was "Gethsemane" by Major Boyd.
"The Watered Lilies" by Misses Yates
and Jordan and Mrs. Dunn. and "Faith,
Hope and Love" by Misses Holt, Pur-
ser and Dorroh were trios finely rend-
cred and much enjoyed, as was Crock
of Ages" by Misses Clemens, Bonita
and Matte Purser. There were many
other features that deserve mention
that lack lads of space denies.
The whole programme was gotten up
BY Mrs. L'Estelle Barclay. who train
ed the singers and directed the music
and presided at the organ. The per-
Torrance reflected the greatest credit
on her. Mrs, Barclay is graduate of
the Milwaukee Conservatory and has
studied also in New York and abroad. |
Her coming here has been a great ad
dition to musical circles and her work |
is markedly affecting m usic in Macon.

Yesterdays Socialism

We have had occasion to point
out in the past and hereby We
take occasion to point out in the
living present, that what was
crazy socialism" yesterday is
today merely conservative pro-
gress. The Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan could tell tales to
this effect, as many Of the 'isms'
for which he stood in the remote
political past are now embodied
in law and not, so far as may be
ascertained, to the mortal injury
of the country. But it is not
Organism which causes us to take
our typewriter in hand, but Will

What a wall of pessimism went

for which the country was head
ed were liberated once more from

almost happy, including the erst-
while gloomy ones. Prominent

Farm Facts.

Give the agrioulturist ample working
capital and you increase the national
stability.
The world is one great corporation Of
which the farmers are the largest
shareholders.
Tee farmers can never Lope to be-
come factor in public affairs unless
they work through organized channels.
The average farm yields a net income
on the investment Of per cent and the
average business 10 to 80 per cent.
The selfish daya Of the independent
farmer are rapidly passing and we are
beginning to catch the vision and share
the profits Of organized efforts.
The problem of organizing and sys-
tematzing agriculture is one which the
farmers invite assistance of all lines Of
industry friendly to their interests.

The Prohibitionists must have

nation prohibiting the sale OF
vodka, which he had found very

IRON THE PEOPLE.


Editor the Beacon:
In the present crisis in agricul-
tural affairs in the south we are
looking toward diversified farm
ing as a preventative of a recur-
ence of a similar state Of affairs
in the future. We are practical
ly all agreed that the one crop
system meets with disastrous
sooner or later, and that in times
of financial distress like the pres
ent, the farmer who practices a
diversified system of farminc and
makes his living at home, is the
one that suffers least.
The benefits of diversified farm
ing are being ably set forth in
your paper by Mr., j. w. Haddon,
and are too numerous to be enum-
Grated here; but | wish to cite a
concrete example as a means of
comparing diversified with spe-
cialized or "one-crop" farming.
During the month Of October
| was one of a party Of % men
who made a farm business survey
of Frederick county, Maryland.
In this survey we made a record
of every farm, its size, value,
acreage, yield and receipt Of each
crop; an inventory Of stock and
machinery equipment, the years
expenses, taxes, ETC., and from
these determined the farm in
come, and the labor income Of
the farmer. Frederick county is
a community of thrifty, hard
working, home living farmers,
Over ninty per cent of the farm
ers are following the same crop
rotation, namely, corn, wheat,
meadow. The meadows are US
ually cut for hay one year and
pastured the next.
Nearly every farmer operates
a small dairy, but as this is a new
industry for that section their
dairy stock were not of a high
grade; only few had silos.
Dairying with inferior animals
was the weakest point in their
farming system and this will bel
remidied as they learn to appre-
oiate the value of good stock and
silage. The only crops sold were
wheat, sugar corn, clover seed
and occasionally some surplus
corn. Practically no feed is ever
bought except some concentrates
for the cows.
Now as to profits from this
kind Of farming. The farms are
small, ranging from go to 1901
acres. Land value runs from SIS
to 5000 per acre, and taxes were
very high. In spite of high pric-
ed land, high taxes, etc., these
farmers were making labor in
comes from $1,000 to $1,000 a
year, By labor income, | mean
the amount a farmer has left for
his labor after deducting all of
his expenses and interest on his
capital from the farm income.
A volume could be written onI
the agriculture of this communi-
ty, but the few points mentioned
will show what a Well diversified
system Of farming has done for
one section, Is there any logical
reason why it would not do as
much more for this section? Wei
have many advantages in long
growing season, climate, cheap
err land, etc. over Maryland, but
how many farmers here who are
following the one-crop system, |
can show an annual net incomeI
Of from 81, 900 to SO, 600 on GO to
100 acres. M, A. CROSBY,

Hon. Frank Foote
Address RotGriGns

The federal reserve banks are
mot being beseiged with requests
for loans, according to Hon. f. w
Foote, of Hattiesburg, director of
the federal reserve bank for this
district.
In an address before the Rotary
club, of Jackson, at its meeting
yesterday, Mr.. Foote stated that
the reserve bank for this district
has resources Of about 1000, 0G0
and the loans thus far made do
not exceed 100000.
At some length Mr.. Foote dis
cussed general financial conditions
in the United States, and his
views were Of a hopeful nature.
Enforced economy, he said, is 60
ing to have wholesome effect on
the public generally, while the
gripping of European industries
as result of the war will give
American manufacturers decid-
ed advantage in the fight for for
eign trade.
Mr.. Foote also spoke Of the
plan of operation adopted by the
federal reserve banks, referring es
pecially to the character of secur-
ity required The bank will con.
slider only ''liquid paper" as col
lateral, and under no circum-
stances will it accept mercantile
paper that has been removed from
year to year.
'It's a good idea to make every
man pay his debts occasionally"
said Mr.. Foote. "The man who
is careless about paying up, even
though he may be perfectly solv-
emit, is usually the fellow who
does not require Others to pay
him, and that class Of mercantile
paper will not be accepted by the
reserve banks. "-Clarion Ledger.

The Political Pot.

The 1915 political pot in Noxu
bee is beginning to simmer and
appearances indicate that it will
soon boil. 1t seems that there
will be no lack of patriots willing to
serve their county. Only a few
candidates have formally announc-
ed, but many have had their ears
to the ground and have been talk
ing matters over with their friends.
Taking the offices as they are put
down on the ballots, the following
I is the present lineup:
For the Senate, Henry Minor is
an avowed candidate, and j. Q
Poindexter and Walter Stokes,
and possibly others, are consider
ing making the race.
For the House, it is understood
that Emmett Cavett and T. W
Brame will run for re election and
M. O'Byrne and w. r. SwindIt
are about decided to run. Stron'
calls are made on James jenkins,
of Shuqualak, who made such :
splendid race before, to run again
1t is said that in time there will
be dozen in this race.
For Chancery Clerk, no opposi
ton to Jno. A. Tyson has develop
ed.
For Circuit Clerk, C. NJ, Scales
will be opposed by Vernon Adams
The Sheriff race promises to bt
hot and heavy; w. A. Parks anG
J. T. Mcclure have already an
nounced, and probable other can
didates are Vernon Clark, A. II.
Bush, U. w. Mullins and possibly
B. f. Whitehead; Nelson Stevens
has many friends who want him
to shy his castor in the ring.
No opposition has developed to
d. f. Allgood, County Attorney.
For Treasurer, William Barnes,
Jr., W. A. Walker and John b
Cotton have announced, and Max
Williams is only waiting to let
them get a start before he an
nounces.
The hard job of assessing taxes
will be sought by the present As.
SCISSOR r. C. Patty and Mark Tom
linson.
No opposition has developed to
j. r. Jackson for Superintendent
of Education, nor to Mr.. Hubbard
for Surveyor.
For Supervisor, it is said that in
the Macon District, w. I. Stow
ers will run for reelection and will
be opposed by George Pagan and
John P. Hunter, Elmer Sonnet
will run from District Four, and
Leland Hines, John Bell and Writ
White are spoken of as candidates
from District Five. Sam Cock
rell is being strongly urged to run
from District One but is undecid-
ed; no candidate has appeared for
District Two.
If any names are omitted from
the above lists it is in advertent.
From them a Noxubee county vot.
er can come very near getting the
kind of man he wants.

Judge Teat Qaita Anafa County

A Jackson dispatch of recent
date says: Judge Jas. A. Teat
who until January 1, 1915, pre-
sided over the circuit courts of
the Fifth district and was sue
ceeded by Judge II. II. Rodgers,
with whom he ran an exciting
and memorable runoff race in
the second primary, has reached
Jackson, where be will practice
his profession and will make his
home in the future. Judge Teat
was considerably in the limelight
by reason of being called in by
Judge Henry to preside at the
summer term of criminal court
here, at which the case Of Lieut..
Gov. Theo. G. Bilbo was tried.
1t was a rather thankless under
taking but he came, sat and
tried the case, the result ofwhich
is recent history. Judge Teat is
a son-in-laW of Judge H, c.
Niles, judge of the United States
district court in Mississippi, and
has practiced at the Kosciusko
and other bars in the Fifth Judi
cial district for some years.
