To COdity the Ordinances.

The rapid growth of the city
during the past few years has
necessitated the passage of a
large number of new ordinances,
so many in fact that a complete
revision of the city ordinances
seems to be an absolute neces-
sity. AS these ordinances were
passed they were copied in a
book which the city secretary
keeps for that purpose and are
therefore on record. Many of
them, however, conflict with or
dinances heretofore in effect but
which have atvarious times been
repealed and the effect is al
together confusing.
The matter of revising and re-
codifying the ordinances has
been discussed at various times
by the Council but no definite
action thereon has ever been
taken. The time has now arrived
where such an undertaking
seems an absolute necessity, and
it is more than probable that the
Council will soon order it done.

PADEREWSKI IS COMING
THE WORLDS GREATEST PIANIST TO VISIT
COLUMBUS AND GIVE A CONCERT AT
THE COLLEGE CHAPEL
Will Be Heard by Brilliant Audience Representing
the Music Lovers of the Northeastern
Section of the State.

will be here to hear the gifted
Pole play.
In this connection the manage
ment of the engagement is ar
ranging for a special train from
Starkville, via West Point to this
city which will arrive here on the
evening of the entertainment,
about seven o'clock, returning
after the performance. This
train will enable the people of
Starkville, Artesia, West Point
and people on the main line of
the M. & O. to attend, for the re-
turn train will make connection
with the main line night trains at
West Point.
AS per the announcement else
where presented the price of
general admission will be $500
seat and for the special reserved
seats, which will be limited to
one hundred, the price will be
So. 90. The new chairs for the
chapel will be in position by
that time, adding to the comfort
and pleasure of all who will be
present.
Padereweski is certainly the
greatest living piano virtuoso and
is withal one of the greatest art
lists the world has ever produced.
His coming to Columbus is a
distinct musical triumph for this
city and it is one that all should
show their appreciation of. 1t is
his first engagement in Missis-
sippi and it is the first instance
in his career where he has con-
sented to play before a college or
school. From present prospects
it will be the greatest musical
event in the history of Columbus
and it will be attended by thou
sands.

Paderewski is coming. Through
the untiring efforts of the music
department of the Industrial In
stitute and College in cOnjunc-
tion with the management Of the
local Lyceum Bureau, Paderewski
the world s most eminent pianist,
is to play in this city on the
night of Saturday, January 21st,
in the chapel of the College. The
contract was not closed until
yesterday but the gifted artists
coming is now assured and that
his engagement will be the most
brilliant musical event in the
history of our beautiful, little
city goes without saying.
The great pianist is touring
this country in concert work
and begins his engagement in
the South at an early date. He
is visiting only the leading cities
of the South and only few of
them at that, for the demand for
his concerts is unlimited and his
tour only embraces places of i'm
portance. Through fortuitous
com bination of circumstances
this city being accessible to his
route and one night being open,
he was secured for Columbus at
the largest price ever paid for a
single performance of musi-
clan or musical combination in
this city.
Already the demand for tick
cts for the concert has begun
and telephone and telephone
messages are arriving from the
leading towns in this section of
the State asking for a reserva-
tiOn of seats. The engagement
will be extensively advertised
and it is certain that hundreds

Mr.. Jas. A. Perkerson and
Miss Fannie McKissick were
married at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. F. McCOwn, in East
Columbus. last Thursday night,

A CALL FOR CONVENTIONS
OF THE COTTON PLANTERS IN EACH COUNTY
IN THE SOUTH FOR THE PURPOSE
OF ORGANIZATION.
The Farmers of Lowndes County Are Urged to Meet
in the Court House in this City on Saturday.
January 21st, at Noon to Organize.

call The object of this conven.
tion is for business and not for
the purpose of passing resolu-
tions or listening to speeches.
The cotton producers of the
South must definitely determine
whether the price of their great
money staple crop, cotton, shall
continue TO be controlled by the
whims and fancies of specula-
tion or whether fixed and defin-
ite plans shall be adopted by
which the production and price
of the staple will be regulated by
the legitimate laws of supply and
demand. The time for action
has come and the South is ready
for it. We are financially able to
manage our own affairs and the
time for emancipation from Wall
street speculations has come.
Among the matters for consider
alton to be acted upon are the
following:
Financing the entire spot
cotton business of the South:
creating Bureau of Statistics
for benefit of the producers: es-
tablishment of a Cotton Exchange
in each State through which our
cotton can be sold direct to the
manufacturers; Organization
quickly of all cotton producers in
each cotton growing county: re-
duction of cotton acreage and
use of com mercial fertilizers for
1905, of not less than 25 per
cent; adoption of local warehouse
system to meet the practical de
mand of both farmers and bank
ers throughout the South. These
are among the leading matters
for consideration. They are
InomentOuS and some of them IN
volve tremendous propositions.
But none are incapable of quick
solution and practical realization.
The South possesses the brains.
the manhood and the money to
solve any great question which
threatens her future prosperity. "
Round trip tickets will be sold
from any point in Mississippi at
a rate of one and a third fare
plus % cents, The purchasers
of tickets are advised to secure
from their local agents a certifi-
cate of the purchase of going
ticket, so that the rate of one
third fare returning can be Sc
cured in New Orleans.
Very truly,
WALTER CLARK.
Vice Pres. for State of Mississ-
ippi.

French firm of Schneider are preferred.
The fact that England and the United

provided that the cocks come from
England and the water meters from
England or the United States, the
names OF firms even being specified.

THEATER ON MOUNTAIN TOP
Opera House at Thale, Germany, Il
the Most Novel Resort in
the World.

Probably the most novel theater in
the world is that which was recently
opened at Thale, in Germany. The
theater is on the summit of mountain,
and is surrounded on all sides by steep
rocks; the seats for the audience are
hewn out of the rock and accommodate
1000 persons, and the stage, which is
also hewn out of the rock. is 80 feet long
by "a feet wide. No artificial scenery
is used but the background is formed
by the dense forest and by the outlines
of the mountains in the distance. The
dressing-room for the actors is close
at hand in the forest, but completely
hidden from the audience. The theater
Is fully protected from the wind, and its
acoustic properties are so excellent that
every word is heard.
