Annihilation and No Mercy

In ancient times when men fought

cided less BY skill than by sheer brute

Defeat then meant annihilauon.

DR.. R. S. CURRY, Secretary of the Fair.
COLUMBUS AT ST. LOUIS
Visitors Enrichlng the Worlds Fair
City Financially.

Lowndes county has been in a
very prosperous condition during
the past year. and that money
has been and is plentiful here is
evidenced by the large number of
people from this city and county
who have visited the World s
Fair in st. Louis since its open
ing on April 30. From the
above date up TO the first of Octo-
ber the local Office of the Mobile
and Ohio railroad sold 465 tickets
to ST Louis. Adding to this
number the people who have
gone on passes and by other
lines it is safe to assume that
Columbus has sent at least five
hundred visitors to the great
fair.
The five hundred persons
whom Colum bus and Lowndes
county sent to the fair easily
spent fifty dollars each, as it is
safe to assert that on an average
each spent ten days in ST. Louis
on daily expense of $40 OF
course many spent less than this,
but many others spent far more,
so it will be seen that about
$25, 900 in cash found its way
from Columbus to the World s
Fair City. This is an excellent
showing for both the city and
county and clearly evinces the
fact that our com munity is ia a
most prosperous condition.

Teams com posed of boys from

Franklin Academy played
game of foot ball at the fair
grounds last Thursday after.
noon which resulted in a victory
for the Tenth grade team by
score of eleven to nothing. Earl
Equen is captain of the ninth
grade team and Earl Richards
occupies a similar position on
the Tenth grade team. There
are quite a number of foot ball
enthusiasts at the Academy this
session, and there will probably
be several interesting contests
ere the season is over.

New Railroad Bridge.

For sometime past the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad company has
had under consideration the con-
struction of new bridge at this
place, and it is now officially an
nounced that the work will begin
atan early date. Mr., B. A
Wood, civil engineer employed
by the Mobile and Ohio with
headquarters at Meridian, was
in the city Friday making arran-
gements for the work, and when
seen by a DISPATCH reporter
stated that contracts had been
let and that work work would
probably commence this week.
When asked as to the kind of
bridge that would be erected,
Mr.. Wood said that the same
tiers now in use. which are
strong and durable. would be
put in a first-class condition and
that the superstructure would
be entirely new, and Of much
heavier material than that now in
use, as the bridge is being built
for heavy traffic and nothing but
the best of material will enter in
to its construction. The con-
tract for the foundation work
has been awarded to May and
Fannell, of Tuscaloosa. and as
stated above, this work will be
begun at an early date; possibly
this week. The contract for the
superstructure has already been
awarded, but as the work is to
to be special order and is TO be
done according to certain plans

The University Of Alabama and ! & NJ.
College Contest Forfeit
To Aabama-The University Had the Best OF Gridron
Battle UP TO the Commencement u
the Wrange.

The game of football played by
teams representing the Universi
ty of Alabama and the A. and M.
College at the fair grounds yes
terday afternoon ended in
squabble, and was declared for
feited tothe University of Ala
bama by a score of six to moth
ing.
The game progressed smoothly
during the first half. but about
the middle of the second half a
dispute arose as to how far the
ball had been advanced in three
downs. According to the rules
of the game, if either side failed
to make an advance of five yards
in three downs the ball is for
feited and the team loses the
gain that has so far been made.
Captain Green, of the A. and NJ.
team claimed that the University
of Alabama had failed to make
the required advance and that
they should therefore surrender
the ball. but the decision of Ref
cree Harris was that the Alaba-
mr. team had made the neces-
sary five yards, and were entitled
to hold both their position and
the ball.
The game was stopped, and a
long conference ensued, Capt.
Green and Referee Harris being
the principal participants there
in. Each claimed to be right
and neither would give in, Capt.
Green averring that the only con-
ditions upon which he would CON
tinue the game would be for his
men to be given the ball and for
his opponents to relinquish the
contested ground. This conces-
sion Referee Harris refused to
agree to, and after some further
parly the game was declared for
feited to Alabama.

iy be several months before it is
completed and ready for deliV-
cry.
1t has been frequently hinted
in railroad circles that the Arte-
sia branch of the Mobile and
Ohio would eventually be aban-
doned, and all trains betw ee i
West Point and Colum bus would
travel over the Southern. The
fact that the new bridge is to he
built. however, seems to Indicate
that there is no foundation for
this statement.

ANOTHER ENTERPRISE
To be Added to Our Manufacturing
Industries.

The advantages possessed by
Columb bus as a manufacturing
city are being everywhere recog-
nized. and industries of various
kinds continue to come in. The
latest concern to select our city
as a place for the establishment
of it's plant is the Mansfield Hill
Manufacturing Company, which
will at an early date erect a
factory here for the manufacture
of engines, boilers, steam tnr-
bines and other heavy machinery
The new company will be CAPT
talized at thirty thousand dollars,
one half of the stock being taken
by Messrs. Mansfield and Hill
and the remainder by local
capitalists. The stock has al
ready been nearly all taken, and
arrangements for the erection of
the plant are now being complet-
ed. The concern will EN- mploy
between fifty and seventy five
men, all of whom will be skilled
laborers who earn from three TO
five dollars per day. Placing
the number of meu at sixty and
the average sum paid to each at
four dollars per day, the weekly
pay roll will amount to nearly
fifteen hundred dollars, which
will make quite an addition to
the large sum which is now being
paid out each week by our differ
ent manufacturing industries.
Mr.. @. w. Hill and Mr.. j. B.
Mansfield, who will be at the
head of the new concern, are
both practical machinists and
have a thorough knowledge of
the work which they are to un-
dertake. Mr.. Hill is now en-
ployed as chief engineer by the
Central Furnace and Coal Compa-
ny in Birmingham, and Mr..
Mansfield travels for the Grafton
an d Knight Manufacturing
Company, Of Atlanta. They
are both young men and are very
enthusiastic regarding the out
look here.
A site for the plant has not
been definitely decided upon.
but it is more than likely that it
viii be located somewhere in
East Columbus.

Judge Matthews paused ia the
stern work of dispensing justice
last Wednesday morning long
enough to dispense a little happi-
ness, Mr.. Jesse w. Fortner and
Miss Eta J. Hickman, of Lamar
county being the recipients of
his blessing. They came from
the good county of Lamar seek
ing marital bliss and happiness
and as this is Justice Mathews
long suit he fixed them up and
sent them on their way rejoicing.
They came from Lamar because
their parents lived there and be-
cause there was some opposition
to their marriage at home.
They returned from whence
they came happy and rejoicing.
