WEATHER MAP TO
Be DISCONTINUED

Beginning today the familiar weather
map, which has been a daily bulletin
from the local and other stations all
over the country, will be discontinued,
and as a matter of economy, brought
on by the shortage of paper, a memo
randum only will be issued. This is
the announcement yesterday issued at
the local station:
Memorandum.
On account of the scarcity and hign
cost of paper, and as matter OF econ
omy, the weather map printed at this
station will be discontinued, and, be-
ginning May 1, 1918, a card bulletin
will be substituted in it's place. This
bulletin, which contains practically all
data printed on the lower portion OF
the map, will be sent to all those now
receiving maps.
The above economy measure has al
ready been taken at most weather bu-
reau stations, including such large
cities as st. Louis, Kansas City, Mem
phis, Atlanta, etc.
Those now having map frames will
please display the cards in the frames
until a supply OF special card holders
has been received. whereupon the
frames will be called in.

the whole garden. and also. to mark it
off, after that we had TO take the grass
out of it and plant it. In my part /

radishes and Mildred planted turnips
The ants got in our plot and we were
afraid they would carry the seeds
off. so we dug it up and planted it
over again, this put ours a little be-
hind the rest of the gardens.
The vegetables from the school gar
den will be used in different ways.
some will be canned by the girls cook

My garden is growing nicely and I
hope it will continue to do So NV

DONATIONS,
WAR RISK INSURANCE.

The termination of the Automatic In
surance on February 18th. 1918, cannot
be emphasized too strongly. Any per-
son in the active military or naval SER
vice, who is killed after February 18th, is
without insurance protection unless he
has made specific application. There
is immediate necessity for bringing this
to the attention of all soldiers, sailors
and nurses-all in the active military or
naval service of the Government.
Realizing that those in active war
service at distant points may not have
reasonable opportunity to apply, Con-
gress has granted an extension of sixty
days so that if any mans time for ap-
plying would have expired before April
18th, 1918, he may make application
therefor up to and including April 18th.

Patriotic Exercises at the Macon
High School.

Washington's Birthday exercises at
he high school this year proved to be
he most interesting and impressive ex-
'rcises held at the school on similar occa
IONS. The chief reason for the inter
st was the fact that the day marked
he completion of the Junior Red Cross
organization and the enrolment of the
school for national service. The first
work of the organization was the pre-.
1entati0n to the school of a beautiful
'ervice flag with ffty-eight stars to
epresent those who once attended the
school, but are now with the Colors.
The presentation of the Service Flag
was the most impressive part of the ex-
ercises. After the names of the former
students were read, with date of enlist
ment and present location. the service
flag was unful led while the school stood
and sang "The Star Spangled Banner"
After the exercises it was found that
two names had been left off. These
two anne bring the number up to six
ty. The school is proud that it has
representatives, in nearly every branch
OF service. The list includes a large
number of loyal %privates of whom the
school is as justly proud az 1t is of the
officers who have gone out from the
school. 1t is especially Noteworthy
that on the service flag are stars repre-
senting the Adjutant General of Missis-
sippi, a captain of battleship, a Major,
an aviation lieutenant, five captains,
nine lieutenants, ten sergeants and two
Red Cross nurses. The whole student
body has pledged its support to this
splendid body of men and women who
represent il with the colors.

Bearing False Witness.

1t was reported to Judge Carroll when
he wal here to hold the February term
Of court that a female convict at the
camp in the Paulette neighborhood had
been whipped numerically. that her
cream had been heard for q great dis
lance. that the flesh was slufflring from
the wounds that had been left, etc,
etc. The Judge WIS asked that DR..
Bush, the county health officer, and
Sheriff Mcclure be sent to the camp to
investigate, which was done. and not a
scratch or mark was found or the girls
body. She said she had been whipped
for running away, but the blood had
not been brought. Her name of Lottie
Griffin. is about sixteen years OF age,
and she plead guilty and WAS fined $40
and given 30 days in Judge Cockrell's
court for breaking into several houses
In Macon. lMr. Mauldin used her to
carry water without n ball and chain,
and az stated above, she ran away
twice in one day. and the second time
she was whipped.
Erwin Mauldin has been overseer of
the convicts for about ten years, bar
worked in nearly every ~neighborhood
in the county, and he bears n reputa
ton which we believe he deserves, Of
being humane, and every convict who
serves his time under him leaves with
feeling Of friendli1ess. We have never
heard Of a single instance that would
lead us to believe anything to the con
trary. Az he has worked in every dis.
trict in the county Others must know
better than we do, whether this repu
tation Is deserved.
And we believe, too, that Erwin
Maulin Is honest. straight and courag,
Qua enough'to look any man in the ey, !
and answer any question that can b
asked him. So il any man intercsteo
wants to know il a convict had bee
whipped he could have gotten the i
formation first hand without going /
the judge to send a doctor mad IT,
sheriff sixteen miles, leaving the in
preston that some heinous criue ha
been committed.
Not only is no humane, but there N,
roads all over the county that will b
there for years as n monument to HI
ability az q road builder.
The system under which Mr.. Mauldir |
IA working is probably economical, |
wrona and should be changed. but The
Beacon believes il is testifying to the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, when It says that he is honest, ef.
hcient, and has always had a proper re-
gard for the unfortunates under his care.

Yates Wheeler Wedding.

Cupid has been relentless in HE at
tac6s upon the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
K. E v. Yates this winter, scoring a
second victory within one season, on
last Tuesday morning, when Miss Ethel
Yates, the remaining one Of the two
charming daughters Of this interesting
household. was united in marriage at
high noon to DR.. NJ. H, Wheeler, a
prominent young dentist of Americas,
Georgia.
The wedding was a home one, attend
cd by only the closest Of a large circle
Of friends, and proved an affair Of
s%inguIarly persuasive attractiveness,
the yellow and green MOTIF Of the deco
rations delightfully."- suggesting the
freshness and fragrance of the season.
and blending pleasingly with the artistic
furnishing of this delightful home.
The guests upon arrival we're inform.
ally greeted and lead to the Wedding
Register by Mrs. Hervey Field, the
charming sister of the bride, who is to
the "manner born" in the art of gra-
cious and unaffected hospitality.
A flutter of eager interest ~pervaded
the assembled circle, for this wedding
was ore Of unusual interest to the
whole community, but there were TO
flaws nor uneasiness connected with
the entire affair-everything was in
complete harmony and accord. Prompt
ly at the appointed hour, Mr.. Creighton
Allen sounded the strains of Mendels-
sohn's Wedding March, and the young
couple took their places before the i'm
provised altar.
Rev. K. N. Broyles gave the impress
sive ring ceremony of the M. E. church,
solemnly binding these two young peo-
pie for veal or woe.
The bride, elegantly gowned in a
going away suit of maroon chiffon
broad. cloth, with spring hat and other
harmonizing accessories, and carrying
a brides bouquet of white roses, lilies
of the valley and ferns, was enhancing
ly lovely. Macon holds the reputation
of having no uncomely daughters, and
Miss Yates easily held the head of the
line in the march of beauty. Descended
from some of the finest among the aris-
tocracy of the state, she possessed the
grace and charm of true southern gen.
tility, which, added to her brilliant and
unimpaired loneliness and q%ueenly bear
ing, made her, without a question, the
pride of the social circle of which she
was the leader.
If it were necessary to place empha-
sis on the popularity of this social lead
er. the splendidly gorgeous array of
wedding gifts would supply all that was
necessary. These were numerous, and
on the whole, magnificent, notwith-
standing the fact that the wedding was
one of a quiet nature.
DR.. Wheeler is a successful young
dentist of Americas, Ga, where. be also
holds a high place in social and business
affairs. On his several visits to Macon,
he has won many friends by his friend
Iiness of manner and the pleasing ease
and gentllity of his department.
The young couple left on the noon
for their home IN Georgia, carry
with them the best wishes of a host of
