WHERE DO GOOD BOOKS GO?

We have no doubt at all that culture in the
United States is in a bad way. Virtually all ex-
poets on the subject say so. We have been told so
many times and so authortatively that America is
not interested in literature of permanent value and
will not buy books of solid intellectual contents that
we now take the Statement as we should an asser.
ton that the sun rises in the east or that water runs
|d0wnhill.
Yet it is curious and inexplicable fact that sell.
ing literature the permanent value of which is be.
yOnd dispute constitutes a well established and ap.
parently hourishing industry. The great poets,
novelists, ~essayists, and some classic historians,
bound in uniform sets, are pretty nearly as staple
articles os urban merchandise as soap and calico.
Bookshops and department stores advertise bargain
sales of them.
Maybe, as one critic suggests, they are bought
merely as ornaments. Then there are several low
priced, small volume libraries, - containing a large
part of the worlds pest literature, from Homer and
.Ilschylus down to Dickens and T%ennyson, which sell
in great quantities. Maybe these are used merely
for birthday presents. OF late years, if any book
makes a real stir anywhere in the world some pub,
Usher is pretty sure to put an English translation on
this market Exchange.

FOR SPEAKER.

Hon. Frank L.!KincannOn, member elect from Lee
county, editor of the Tupelo Journal and for many
years Circuit Clerk of Lee county, is one of the can
didates for Speaker of the House of Representatives
Mr.. Kincannon possesses the qualities and quail
fcations to make a splendid presiding officer over
the House. He is a man of good academic education
and his many years service as a Circuit Clerk give
him a special training that would prove of great value
to him and the body over which he would preside if
elected. He has, too, that frmnesf and stability OF
character and opinion that the Office of Speaker so
greatly demands, and while strong and positive and
loyal both to friends and principles, no one who
knows him doubts that in his rulings he would be
fair and impartial, and in his appointments and 9th
er official acts he would be guided by tight ideas and
a strong sense of justice.
His candidacy appeals to NoXubee county by rea-
son of several things besides his well recognized fit.
ness. He is a native Of this county and still counts
many warm friends among our county people as
we'll as a host of well wishcrs who know him only by
reputation. Then there is a keen feeling that Fast
Mississippi has not been fairly dealt with for many
wears in the matter of state Offices and hOnors.
What the Delta has not got South Mississippi has
received, and the section many fairly believe to be
the very backbone of the States civic strength has
occupied the subordinate places,
Mr.. Kincannon's candidacy will be watched with
keen interest and his success be welcomed with deep
pleasure by Noxubee and East Mississippi generally,
and the whole State to be congratulated if he is elect
cd Speaker.

THE JACKSON HIGHWAY"

In an article written for this paper last week, the
fact that to locate the route elsewhere than as Jack
son planned, laid it out and constructed it, and yet
call it after him would be a misnomer, and would
tend to defeat the paramount object those at the
head of the movement first claimed to have in view.
Since writing that editorial, a letter written by
Mississippi's senior United States Senator, John
Sharp Williams, to DR.. Logan w. Page, director of
public roads, has been published.
AS Mr.. Williams is a gentleman the alembic of
whose splendid mind separates the false from the
true in everything that passes through it, while he
illumes and adorns every subject he discusses. We
here give a brief extract from his statement of the
case as he sees it
"Of conrse, calling the highway the Jack,
son Highway, unless it really is the histori.
cal Jackson Military Highway, is in a sense
securing support and countenance for a pro-
iect under false pretenses. 1t follows, there
fore, that if some other route than the
historical Jackson military highway is Sc.
lected, it ought to be called another name
and that the tender historical association
sentiment of the Jackson highway should
not be used to do something under a false
application"
Nothing yet has been said by any one, anywhere,
more soundly sensible and appropriate than that.
1t is true and logical and more and better than
all, it is characteristic of Senator Williams:
1t expresses, and emphasizes, the sentiment of
right which, with Mr.. Williams, is the sentiment of
duty, and we for that reason are much "gratifed that
he sees the situation much as we do, SO far as the
honoring Jackson is concerned.

The Eternal Question.

When this county, in its endeavor to
keep step with the progress of the bal
ance of the country, spent nearly half
a million dollars in building gravel
roads, the ro~ad.question was not settled.
but really begun. 1t is the opinion of
nearly all who travel the county's
roads, especially the gravel road, that
long before the bonds are paid the roads
will have reached an advanced stage of
deterioration, through natural wsar and
more particularly through bad drainage.
In many instances, drainage provisions
has been made only for ordinary
weather conditions. When the heavy,
beating rains such as we have had this
past season come the roads are washed
over and consequently greatlytdamaged.
One particular piece of road that has
been washed over several times in the
past year is on the Martin place, three
miles northeast of Macon in Plum creek
bottom. 1t has been suggested that
the gravel be taken up and the levee
raised, with larger openings to allow
the water freer outlet. We have been
told of a piece of road in Monroe coun-
ty that is similarly located which has
been remedied by the use of tar pro-
cess similar to what has been used on
the streets of Macon. The water can
then wash across without damaging in
the least the expensive gravel road
that has cost from Sc, 900 to $4,000 to
put down. The use of this oil or tar
would certainly be more economical
than tearing up the road, raising the
levee and ~re-graveling it.
Oiling roads has been tried with sue
cess in many parts of the county, es-
p~ecislly in the central West where the
land is similar to our prairie land. The
following excerpt is taken from the
DeKalh Qll.) Chronicle, and the roaC
spoken of is a part of the noted Lin.
coin Highway, which runs through
land valued at from $3.50 to $500 pei
acre. This method of road improve.
ment cost from 5000 to $3.50 a mile. ant
according to this account has proven
successful. What we need is some.
thing less costly than what we have
had and a road that can, with moderate
cost, ne kept in repair:
Motorists coming through this city
from the west are still talking about
the new miles strip of road just west
of the DeKalb county line at Crestor
and it is rapidly acquiring a transconti
mental fame as the best pit of natura
road between Chicago and Clinton.
This road vas put in by C. S. Pegg
the commissioner, and makes an idea
thoroughfare. The entire strip of a
mile was first graded for a width of al
I feet and proper attention paid to drain
age. Then it was crowned to a heigh'
of two feet after which a strip Is fee
wide was oiled.
I'm this phase of the work, 5.0OO'gal
Ions of No. 4 oil were used at a cost
applied IN the road, of $3.50. The cos
of the grading was $4S, and thus tn,
total cost of the improvement has beel

BEACON'S SIXTY.SEVENTH BIRTHDAY

Birthday anniversaries come to newspapers as t.
individuals, and to those that attlin a respectable
old age it is quite as proper, and i, becoming as much
the fashion, to celebrate the recurring day as it is
for elderly people to do so.
A few days ago THE BEACON entered the sixty
eighth year of its publication.
It's first issue made it's appearance in October
IS49, the owners being u. w. and II. G, Ferris. The
former had come to Mississippi from Washington
City several years before, and besides being the pro.
prietor of a drug store had established a newspaper,
giving it the name THE NoXUBEE RIFLE. When
his Henry G. Ferris came to Noxubce in 1S49, the
name of The Rifle was changed to THE UNION BEA.
CON, the change to its present name being made when
the war came on.
The proprictorship descended to the late Philip
r. Ferris, and from him to it's present management.
THE BEACON is not the Oldest newspaper venture
in Mississippi, but it is, perhaps, the oldest enter
prise of its kind in the State that has been owned
and published, continuously, by the same family.
1t makes no claim to having won fame or fortune
for any of its owners or editors.
That much is said in justice to truth and with
becoming modcsty, but it is not all all intended to
be accepted as sclf,deprecatory.
No; for, when occasion has made it proper, TIL
BEACON has never failed be self ~asSertive and fear
less.
Without affectation it feels it can claim the merit
of having ever despised meanness and malice, an(
uncompromisingly opposed wrong, while being out
spoken in approval, and determined in defense, 0
truth and justice and the rights of the people, N
God gave it to see those things.
1t hopes its readers will ~checrGully give it crcdi
for those virtues.
1t may, here and there, in times past, have mad
mistakes-may now and then have cut too deel
when striving to hew to the line; but at no time no
in any instance, has it ever been swerved by fear
favor or affection to abandon the true for the false
or moved from the honesty of its own purpose t
serve the unworthy purpose of another.
1t feels, therefore, that it can claim, with a hig
degree of pride, and not immodestly, that its caree
has been long and honorable.
Its life record clearly shows: 1t has never raise
steam or turned its prov to seek glory, nor trimme
a sail to catch a popular breeze that might bear it t
iuglorious ease.
When faction has ruled and passion blew the gal,
it has kept reason at the helm and steercd in obed
ence to the dictates of common sense and patriotism
the dictates of humanity-and, in so doing, has q
tablished a gratifying, satisfactory record,
As in the past it has never bent the knee at an
altar erected to Baal or worshipped at any shrine
make unto itself friends of the mammono of upright
ness, so in the future will strive unfalteringly to cor
duct itself.
Its opinion will continue to be its own, and viii
it will not seek rudely to obtrude those opinions upo
the public it will at no time observe a silence whic
lies, for the gold that may be in it.
