Good Work of Scales.

When Gov. Bilbo picked Erie C.
Scales for Adjutant-General of the
Mississippi National Guard, he made no
mistake.
The appointment was made during a
period of peace, but Gen. Scales has
measured up to the requirements Of
war.
The Adjutant has had mo small sized
job on his hands during the past year.
For the past four months he has been
occupying position requiring execu-
tive ability of the highest character,
and in military circles it is the unani-
nous verdict that Gen. Scales has sue
cessfully stood every test.
While directing the very tedious work
of the selective draft, he has also had
on his hands the job of organizing a
regiment of National Guardsmen, and
so efficiently has been done by him and
his able assistants that first class
regiment will came into camp in Jack
son just as soon as the First Mississippi
is moved to Alexandria.
An emergency generally produces the
man who can measure up to it, and
Mississippi is fortunate in having Erie
c. Scales at the head of the national
guard while our forces are being re-
cruited for the war. jackson Daily

The Selective Draft.

The Beacon wrs very much disap-
pointed that it was unable to publish
the selective draft list for Noxubee
county in last weeks paper so as to
give weeks 8 notice to the young men
of the county who had been selected by
the government to fight its battles.
The list was not received from the gov
ernment until Saturday afternoon, and
it was Monday afternoon before it
could be copied by Circuit Clerk Ad-
ans and given to the printers. Depu-
uty Sheriff Clark, who has been assist
ing Clerk Adams in the laborious work
of copying and numbering, and all the
other work connected with the draft
since registration day, was busy with
his duties in the sheritf's office, and
consequently there was some delay.
This list was printed by the Beacon
Tuesday morning and turned over to
the Roard to be sent to every postmas-
ter in the county to be posted No
other notification will be given by the
government and all these selected are
expected to find out from the posted
and published list that they must be
examined and passed on by the local
board on Saturday, August Attn, and
Monday and Tuesday, August 9th and
7th.
