CRUELTIES OF INVENTION

1t is to be hoped, says the Christian
Science Monitor, that report is mis-
taken in saying that somebody in
America has invented a mechanism
which magnifies the sound of the hui
man voiceand would make it possible
for man speaking to be hard for 20
or more miles without the Intervention
of the telephone. The noise of modern
civilizations already annoying enough

on the reported invention, Let US sup

what becomes of the sanity of the
commonwealth? The thing seems
possible. One can readily conceive the

outraged by Brobdinagian voices all
shouting advertisements planned to
compel the purchase of this, that or
the other commodity. If the dangerous
thing has been invented, the public

LOCAL TELEGRAPH OFFICE RE.
MAINS OPEN

The strike over the country of the
Western Union operators did not af-
feet to any great extent the operation
of the local office, Miss Augusta
Horne, who has been in charge of the
Macon office for nearly year, on the
advice of her father DR.. Horne, of
Carriere, Miss, joined the striking op-
orators, but young man was sent to
check up the office here Tuesday
morning and business as usual has
since been done. 1t is believed that the
differences which the operators and
the company have on will soon be ad-
iusted. The Macon office is connected
directly with New Orleans and Mem
phis and both of those offices have
been operating without trouble this
week.
Miss Horne, who was quite novice
in her profession when she first came
to Macon, has become quite proficient
and has been very attentive to the bus
mess of the office. 1t will be generally
regretted if she decides not to return
| to Macon.

TELEPHONE RATES
Slight Raise Effective Since June list

The new local exchange telephone
rates become effective June LIST.
As agents for the United States
Government, tho Cumberland Tele-
phone Company announced the new
rates to be effective May LIST, but the
company was enjoined from putting
the rates into effect and pending the
court decisions the new rates have
been Withheld. The injunction has re-
emily been dissolved and the new rates
have been made effective from and af-
ter June /, 1919.
The telephone company explains
that the new rates are necessary in
order that additional revenue may be
secured to meet the increased operat-
ing expenses. When the new rates
were first announced, the postmaster
general declared that the owners of
the telephone systems would not in
any way benefit from the rate changes
because practically all of the increas-
ed operating expenses were due to
increased wages paid to employees.
1t is stated that the need for in
creased revenue is due to economic
conditions and is not the result of the
control and operation of the telephone
properties by the United States gov
eminent. The new schedule of rates is
practically the same which the tele-
phone company had prepared for pre-
sentation to the Railroad Commission
at the time the properties were taken
over by the government.
Inc company expresses confidence
that the public will recognize the need
for additional revenue to meet the in
creased wages and other expenses
which are so evident in every line of
industry and will cooperate with the
company to complete the re-adjust-
ment of rates.

Chairman Easterland of The Longi-
no State Campaign Committee has
issued another "signed statement"
from which we quote in part as fol-
lows:
Despite the surreptious circulation
of anonymous, INSCRIPTIONS and sour
rilous literature attacking the peoples
choice, Governor Longino continues
to grow every day. being made strong
er by such attacks. This is no idle
claim, but is based on advices daily
and hourly received from fairminded
men from all over Mississippi, who
were not heretofore for LONGING, but
are now quitting other candidates,
whom they hold responsible for what
they characterize as unfair, unrighte-
Gus campaigning. Reports reach these
headquarters that the people are say
ing that such attacks on Longino are
not made in the interest of the people,
. but for the personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of candidates for governor, and that
the tax-burdened, bond-paying people
everywhere have rallied to the support
of the Longino banner with fixed de-
termination to overwhelmingly nomi
nate Longino in the first primary.
The status of the race, according
to information received from all sec
tons of the state, indicates Longino
a sure winner in the first primary
with Russell second, Collins third and
Johnston fourth"
This is but the second passing of a
plate of the same old soup warmed
over" a second pelting of an unseen
and unseeable foe with a conglomera-
ton of abusive adjectives "full Of
sound and fury, signifying nothing"
the sentences of which therein CON
cludes may be accepted as simplv an
expression of Chairman Eastland's
preferences; that is to say that he is
Tor Longlno first, Russell second. Col
ms third and Johnston last. If this is
true, Russell may safely hope if he is
IN the second primary and Lonrino
isn't, the Longino following, if Chair
man Eastland can control il will fall
IN solidly behind the Russell hannor

The above is the most important no
tice that has appeared in the Beacon
in some time and should be of vital
interest to every taxpayer in the
County. A similar notice, according to
law, is published every year, but lit
tie attention is paid to it, and much
dissatisfaction is created over what is
considered the "Un-equalization" of
taxes. The law now requires that
ANY objections to any assessments
contained in said revised rolls must be
made in writing and filed with the
Clerk of the Board before the First
Monday in uly, 1919"
SO it up to every taxpayer to find
out if his assessment as given out by
him has been raised and make his OBJ
jections, if any, or forever hold his
peace.
Much dissatisfaction was created
last year over what was considered al

satisfaction was in every district il

should not lay all the blame on tn
