Serious Auto Accident.

A Ford car was demolished almost
beyond repair, Dodge damaged to the
extent of a hundred dollars or more and
several persons bruised, was the result
of headon collision that occurred
Wednesday afternoon just at sunset at
the double bridges four miles north on
the Macon and Columbus road. The
Dodge was driven by Mr.. Walter Con-
nor and occupied by several of his chill
dren and visitor, Miss Zepernick of
Mobile. Mr.. Connor had just turned
into the Macon road when the Ford,
driven by Mr.. L. c. Campbell, a repre-
sentative of the American Tobacco Co.,
vas coming north at a high rate of
speed. Mr.. Connor managed to stop
his car, but the Ford was without brak es
and it hit the Dodge with such force
that it turned itself completely over,
pinning Mr.. Campbell under it. He
fortunately escaped With few bruises
and scratches. Mr.. Connor's car was
hit glancing blow and turned almost
completely around, and two of his chill
dren cut by the broken windshield. A
hedge hides the roads from the view of
autos, and has always been
considered dangerous place.

Stock Show October Sd.

The most important news we have tc
chronicle this week is the stock show
that will be held in Macon on October
Sd. Those who have this enterprise ir
charge are meeting with the greatest
encouragement from every section OF
the country. and it promises to be the
creates day Ncxubee has had for q
long tilne. Subs ,antial prizes will be
offered for various livestock. Aside
from the cattle and horses. two other
very interesting exhibits will be made.
Exhibits will be made and prizes award
ed to the Pig Club boys and to the Girls
Canning Clubs of the county. Under
the energetic management of Prof.
Chandler and Mrs. Tyndall great inter
est has been developed among the boys
and girls in these clubs and the people
Of the county will have every reason to
be proud of the exhibits that will be
shown.
A similar stock show to the one men,
toned above was held last year, but
little time was had to prepare the ami
mails for exhibition, but notwithstand-
ing tlat most creditable show was
made. The livestock industry has de-
veloped wonderfully in the past year,
and we have every reason to believe
the exhibit will be a success in every
respect.

Cattle Die From Forest Poisoning

The frequent rains the past two
months which followed drouth OF
nearly three months has caused heavy
growth of grass and weeds and several
deaths among cattle has been reported
from eating poisonous weeds 1t is
thought that the fungus growth that
i1fects paspalum grass when in seed ia
the cause of most of the trouble. Cat
tlemen have been warned about this,
as it was demonstrated at the A. & M.
College several years ago that paspalum
at that stage would cause sickness and
often death. Mr. Will Taylor lost fine
COW last week, and another was quite
sick, but has recovered. Mr.. Julian
Boggess has heifer quite sick with
the same trouble and he is afraid he
will lose her.

Macon School Opening.

Without any formal opening the Ma.
con school began its new sessions work
Tuesday morning. The children report
ed to their last session rooms and were
promoted to the advanced grades. A
short chapel service was held, after
which the grades returned to their
rooms and began work. After the first
day the grammar grades were able to
take up their regular work. but the
changes in the high school work made
it necessary for the week to be given
up largely to planning and adjustment
While the enrolment of the school is
no larger than last year the teachers
report an excellent spirit characterizing
all the children and the work has been
started with enthusiasm. Excellent
work of preparation has been done by
the faculty and Macon can feel justly
proud of her school.
On the opening day Prof. McMillln
announced that the public opening
would be held a few days later and
plans are being made to make the occa-
sion one of great interest and enthusi-
asm. The plan is to make it a day
when lessons of patriotism shall be
taught and when the community can
gather to witness the school fiag-raising
ana hear the address of the speaker for
the occasion. A program will be an
nounced in next weeks Beacon.

VOLUNTEERS ARE SUCKERS, y
SAYS BIG BIZ MAN, ASKING
UNIVERSAL SERVICE.
1.-THE time has. now come when we
must admit that the patriot who
volunteers for military service is
more or less of a sucker"
A roar Of laughter swept the ball
room of Hotel La Sale at the AssO-
citation Of Commerce luncheon yes
terday when Harrison B. Riley flung
out the above epigram yesterday.
Riley is president of the Chicago
Title & Trust Co., successor to Ira
NJ. Cobe on several traction directO-
rates, and known as Chicago
spokesman for Wall st. interests.
Riley was putting up an argument
that universal compulsory military
service is better for this nation now
than universal military training.
All who listened to Riley got de-
finite impression that he has inside
information from his Wall st. con-
nectiOns that something viii happen
the coming week to plunge this coun-
rty into a war situation so thrilling
that there won't be any way out eX-
cept for the United States to send
men across to Europe.
IF our enemies on the other side
and I say enemies advisedly-live up
to what they say, one week from to-
day will see the final break" said
Riley. IF a week from today we
face tho situation which we probably
must face, it is time for us to quit
talking about training. We need
universal military service. There is
time to quit talking fire insurance
and get out the hook and ladder.
IF we go into the war it is a sure
thing we viii not merely pass out our
dollars and sit on the eastern shore
