From Wednesdays Paper.
Meeting Friday Niaht.

Pursuant to the call of the
Vice President a number of the
members of the Citizens Pro
gressiye League met at the
Board of Trade rooms last Mon
day afternoon to hear an impor-
portant matter discussed. The
peoples minds are so engrossed
with politics that they have lit
tie time and attention for COM
mercial and industrial matters
now and this was responsible
for the small attendance.
Mr.. John Stinson. Secretary
of the League. presented a
proposition from Mr.. George w.
Kavanaugh, of Cohoes, N. Y,
a large manufacturer of that
state, who is anxious to move his
plant South and who wants to
bring it to Columbus. Mr..
Kavanaugh has a plant of $780,
600 capital and it employs three
hundred operatives in the max
ing of finished knit goods such
as underwear, etc. It is one of
the largest plants of it's kind in
the country and it's presence
here means that a yarn mill will
follow and that our cotton mill
will find a market for much of
Of its product right here at home
The plan which Mr.. Kava-
naugh presents for the people of
Columbus to consider is thor
oughly feasible and practical and
after Investigating the matter
thoroughly those who have made |
a study of the offer believe that
it is Columbus opportunity. |
The meeting on Monday after
noon resolved to meet again on
Friday night at the Court House
at eight o'clock and it is hoped |
that every citizen of Columbus
who has the welfare of this city
and who desires to see it grow
and prosper will be on hand.
Mr.. Walter Weaver, Vice
President of the League, has
counter offer, which is a good |
one, would be an easy matter for
the people of Columbus to carry
out and it is thought that when
this is presented to Mr.. Kava-
naugh it will be entirely accepta-
BILE. Be on hand on Friday night
at the Court House at eight
O'Clock.

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
In justice to myself as we'll as
to the people who contributed
money to me to buy carcasses
and 20 pay incidental expenses
of a barbecue at Kolola Springs
on July 23rd, I deem it proper
that I should give to the public
an itemized account of every dol
lar paid to me and also for what
purpose it was used. I do this
because there is so much crit
cism owing to the fact that we
fell far short in the number of
carcasses the people expected.
The following is a list Of the
names of people who contributed !:

Irrigation by Pumping.

The proposition Of having wells and
pumping plants from which to irriaate is
receiving considerable attention at pres
ent. In the Arkansas valley there Is an
abundance Of water from 10 to 90 feet
below the surface which can be eheaply
and easily utilized for irrigatiHg. A small
storage reservoir Is necessary to enable
the farmer to collect sufficient supply to
irrigate such crops as have to be flooded.
The only serious objection 10 the uss Of
well water in irrigation is the fact that
much more Of the clear water will soak
into the soil and il will therefore not 90 as
far in irrigating as will muddy water.
Again. the silt laden river water which
comes down during the food time always
brings a great amount Of small particles
Of wood. deeayed leaves and other fertil-
izing elements from the mountains and
pastures which do great deal toward
keeping up and adding to the fertility Of
