PIOW WORKS SALE ENJOINED.
MIR. &. II. Smith, One of the Leading
Stockholders, Enjoined the
Sale Yesterday.

Messrs. J. NJ. Street, president, ana
E. c. Chapman, cashier, were treated
to a surprise yesterday when they
were served with the papers in an
Injunction restraining the Merchants
and Farmers Bank from selling the
New South Plow Works, which was
advertised to occur on yesterday at
noon. The injunction was secured
from Chancellor McCool by Mr.. c..
r. Smith, one of the. principal stock
holders of the company, and its et-
feet was to stop the sale until the
matter could be heard on its merits
in the courts, or until the holder OF
the mortgage and the stockholders
could arrive at some basis of settle
ment. when the cause could be with
drawn from litigation.
The bank was advertising to sell
! the plant under the provisions of a
| trust deed which they had on the
same to the amount of fifteen thou
sand dollars, and the hour of the sale
| had been set for noon on the Gath
of November That date was yester-
day. and but for the injunction the
! sale would have occurred. All kinds
Of rumOrs have been in circulation
the past week that local capitalists
had organized to buy and operate
the plant, and the injunction is there
fore a development unlocked for il
industrial circles.

THE ToNRIGBEE IMPROVEMENT.
Congressman Gambler is HopeIuI ana
VIII Never Give up Until lie
Secures Appropriation.

The Dispatch is in receipt OF let
ter from Hon. E. S. Gambler, Jr., our
efficient representative in congress,
ing Elm ,sinstheAlaC Egg cmfwypf
in which he writes in a most encour-
aging manner regarding an appropr1-
alton for the improvement OF the
Tombigbee, and states that he Will
never relax his efforts until the APP
propriation has been secured. Mr..
Gambler states that the difficulties 10
be encountered are very great, the
most serious of which is that there
are now pending before the rivers
and harbors committee projects in
voIving the expenditure of six hum
dred million dollars. These projects
have already been approved by the
board of engineers, and are merely
awaiting appropriations to be put
into execution. Hence TO secure an
early appropriation it will be neces-
sarv to convince the committee that
the project for the Improvement OF
the Tombigbee is more feasible than
any heretofore reported by the engin-
eerine board Mr.. Gambler says that
q rivers and harbors bill will unques-
tionably be passed during the coming
session of congress, and that he hopes
to see an appropriation for the Tom
bigbee included therein. He states
further. however, that in the event
that the appropriation is not forth
coming during the coming session
the people should not feel discour-
aged, as for reasons outlined above
il NAV be necessarily delayed.
Mr. Gambler, who is at present witt
his family in Corinth, expects tc
leave for Washington this afternoon
and as soon as he arrives there vii
renew his efforts to secure the ap
propriation. Mr. Gambler, since be
ing elected to congress, has served
his constituents most faithfully, an'
has shown in many ways that he /
deeply interested in Columbus. Gu
people have every confidence in hin
and feel sure that, though it ma,
require several years TO accomplish
the task, he will eventually be sue
cessful in his effort to secure an ap
DroDriatiOn for the TOmbigbee.

LOST THE FIRST GAME
LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM LOST
FIRST GAME OF SEASON
FRIDAY EVENING TO
THE A. * VI TEAM.
Visitors Won by a Score of IL TO D,
But Considering the Recent
Organization of the Local
Team, it Was Good.

The first game of football TO be
engaged in by the Columbus team
took place Friday afternoon, when
the locals faced a team from the A.
and NJ College on the Lake Park
field The Columbians lost the game
by a score of II to 6, but considering
the fact that the team was only re-
Gently organized and the boys nave
had but scant practice, they made
very creditable showing. The con-
test showed conclusively that there
is plenty of talent here to make up
a frst-class team, and little more
practice is all that is required TO
whip the team into shape.
The A. and NJ team is composed
of lot of fine young fellows, and
they put up a nice, clean game Fri
dav afternoon. The boys have been
coached by Mr.. P. J. Fife, who is
we'll known in this city, having been
popular member of the local base
ball team last summer. He played
with the visiting team Friday after
| noon. ana dttOul bIioiiCd ociIlC ~ a
liant work, his achievements having
been applauded by his friends and
admirers here.
The game was umpired by Mr.
Carter, of the A. and NJ. College
while Mr.. Harold McGeorge, a Co
Iumbus boy who is a student at the
college, oficiated as referee. Mr.
McGeorge, it will be remembered
had the misfortune to be hurt in the
game which was played here betWee1
the A. ard NJ. and the Louisiana STATE
University fair week. He has par
TALLY recovered from his injuries
but will hardly be able to participate
in the game with University o
Mississippi, which is to be played a
Jackson on Thanksgiving day.

How it is Done in Chicago

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Ferdinand l..
Barnett, the coIored assistant States
attorney, who, according to the re
turns, was elected Judge of the new
municipal court at the recent cleo
ton, has been unseated by the can
vassing board. The first returns gave
Barnett a plurality of 4y9. but the
official count of the thirty-fiv9 wards
of the city, which was completed to-
day, shows that Thomas B. Lantry.
Democrat, was elected by plurality
of 304. Barnett was the only Repub-
lfcan defeated for a city Office at the
election.

ALLEN MULLEN KILLED.
wall Known Young Man Meets His
Death While Logging.

Mr.. Slyvanus Mullen received tel
egram from McShan, Ala, yesterday,
telling him that his half brother. Mr..
Allen Mullen, had been killed and
telling him to come at once. Mr..
Mullen left on the noon train FOR
McShan TO investigate the unfortun-
ate affair.
The fact that Mr.. ]. ID. Mullen,
a brother of Mr. Allen Mullen, had
killed q negro about two weeks ago,
at first caused friends and relatives
of the unfortunate young man 10
suspect that he had been killed by
some negro in avenging the death or
their kinsman, but later reports show
that Mr.. Mnllen's demise was purely
accidental. Mr.. ]. d. Mullen, who
killed the negro, was compelled 10
do it in self-defense, and at the trial
which was held few days ago he
was completely exonerated, the tes-
timony going TO show that he had
been fired at twice before he killed
his man.
Allen Mullen. who was killed Fri
day. was about twenty-siX years old
and was unmarried. He was engaS-
ed in the logging business for some
of the many saw mills OF that sec
ton. and it was while following his
occupation that he met death. He
had gone out in the county about
three miles from McShan logging
and nothing further was heard from
him until his lifeless body was found
+ 1t is supposed that he fell and that
a heavy log passed over his body
crushing out life instantly. The ac
cident is a distressing one, and many
! friends and relatives are sorell
! grieved in his death.

Fanatics TO Li0nizc the Discharged
Negro Troops.

Negro Troops.
New York, Nov. 22.-The three
companies Of negro troops discharg-
ed from the United States army by
order of President Roosevelt viii be
taken to Chicago, Philadelphia and
New York, according 10 plan an
nounced in this city today. The
movement is said to have been start
ed by the citizens of the three cities
According to this plan, the for
mer soldiers will be clothed and car
ed for by the committees selected
for the purpose, and plans have been
so arranged that any citizen who is
interested in the case and who de-
sires to hear the soldiers side of the
story will have access to the men.
How long the discharged troops
will be held together in their COM
pany formation has not as yet been
decided, but pains will be taken to
see that not a single non-commis-
stoned officer or private suffers for
lack of food, lodging and, eventually,
employment.

The Count to Saturday.

The below is the count up to Sat
urday at noon in the subscription
contest. Very few votes have been
polled the past week, and the candi-
dates are holding back all ballots
for the count on Saturday, December
the Sth. at which time all Novembe
ballots will be voted, and those not
voted at this date will be invalidated.
The ballots issued in December will
be good up to the last count on the
22nd, but November ballots will not
be good after the 8th of December.
The last ballots which will appear
in the paper will appear the week
of December 9Th. The semi-weekly
of this week will have two ballots
in it, and the weekly, which is issued
on the 9th of December, will have
two ballots in it. These will be the
last ballots in the paper. The re-
naming two weeks of the contest
will be devoted to issuing ballots for
old subscribers and new ones, and
ten ballots will be given for every
dollar paid on subscriptions, whether
a new subscription or a renewal
This is done that all Of the candi-
dates and their friends may devote
two full weeks to the work Of col
lecting renewals and securing new
subscriptions.
The final count of the ballots will
be made on Saturday at noon, the
22nd of December, and as soon as
the result is known orders will be
issued for the premiums. The last
two weeks of the contest will be the
busiest of all, and hundreds of re-
newals and new subscriptions are ex-
pected to come into this office.
The result of Saturday at noon
follows.
