HEBREW
Citizens Prepare For Festival
Of New Year.

Hebrew citizens of Columbus,
as we'll as all other places in this
country are beginning to make
preparations for the observance
of their New Year and Day of
Atom ement, the two most impor-
tant days in the Hebrew calen.
dar.
Rosh Hashonah, the new year,
begins on the evening of Sep
tember 8. Orthodox Hebrews
will observe the festival Septem-
Der 8 and 10. Those of the re-
form faith will observe but one
day.
Yom Kippur, the day of atone
ment. begins at sundown on
September II. For twenty-four
hours from that time Hebrews all
over the world will abstain from
eating and drinking.
The lowliest Jew makes ready
for the event; he gets fresh
clothes for the family; his chill
dren will be made to look spick
and span, and all abandon all
thought of business.
The new year and day of
atonement have strong hold on
the Jew, be he reformed or or-
thodox, and even though he is
careless or has given up the OBJ
servance of other Jewish festi-
walls, he is sure carefully to OBJ
serve these two.
In the old days no sacrifice
was too much for the devout
Hebrew to make on Yom Kinpur
to secure the forgiveness of his
sins. Men atayed in the syna-
all night and the next
day at prayer. So strict is the
law that even Jewish children
must abstain from food and
drink just like their elders.
The Jewish citizens of Column
bus will celebrate their new
year tomorrow, Their stores
will be closed. Services will be
held this evening at six o'clock,
and tomorrow morning ats 10:
30 O'Clock at the Christian church

WILLING WORKER
SkipS FROM Meridian With
Labor Day Funds.

j. +. MorrelI. president of the
Central Trades Council and
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the Labor Day
celebration under the auspices
of that organization, was much
looked for here yesterday. Mr..
Morrell had the receipts from

fair grounds during the day of
September 2, as we'll as the re-
ceipts from the entertainment at
the Auditorium skating rink on
that night from persons who
witnessed the several events
which were the closing features
of the days program.
This money was needed to
liq uidate the several expenses
incurred by the committee in
preparing the series of entertain
ments for Labor Day as announc-
ed by the Central Trades Coun-
Gil. But Mr.. Morrell was no.
where to be found. A search was
made for him and it developed
that Mr.. Morrell has left the city

PRETTY BOY
Attention of Girls Worries
Kermit Roosevelt.

Chicago, September Sit
developed today that Kermit
Roosevelt, the son Of the presi-
dent, who was making the march
from Fort Leavenworth, Kans.
to Fort Sheridan with the Thir-
teenth cavalry deserted the SOL
diers at Joslin, ILL.,, because he
could not longer endure the at
tentions to which the girls and
women along the line of march
subjected him.
The squadron of cavalry with
which young Roosevelt was
marching is between Elgin and
Chicago and is expected to ar
rive at Fort Sheridan tomorrow.
Lieutenant Phillip Sherid an said
today:
"We have not heard from
Kermit since he left us at Joslin,
H.. two wet ks ago. All along
the march he was lionized, and
girls would visit the camp to see
him. They would not let him
alone even at mess, and curious
people would pull back the flaps
of the tent where he was eating.
Early one morning, while we
were at Joslin an elderly woman
his tent while he was
still in his cot. She patted him on
the cheek and called him a dear
boy She was only acting in a
spirit, but that was the
last straw for Kermit and he said
he would take train to Chicago
and we have not seen him since, !"

Telephone Notice.

To Our Subscribers and Gus
toners at Columbus, Miss.
Some two years ago the chief
officials of tie Cumberland Tele-
phone &c Telegraph Company
visited your city and had con-
ference in the City Hall with
large number of the prominent
business and professional men
and the President of our Com
Lany, Mr.. James. Il. Caldwell,
went into the telephone situation
very carefully and fully, and
stated the work that would have
to be done in order TO provide
for the City of Columbus a first
class and up-to-date telephone
service and system, and the min
imum rates that would necessa-
rily be charged for such service.
A large number of those present
followed the telephone official,
and stated their willingness to
pay whatever rate was necessary
in order to give Columbus
modern telephone plant a d
service, and it is safe to say that
no representative of any public
service ever had a better or more
thorough understanding with a
more representative gathering of
business men than was had on
that occasion, to wit: On the
night of June 18th, 1905.
We, at that time, promised to
go to work promptly in prepar-
ing the engineering plans, in
securing a suitable building, and
in doing all the construction
necessary to ebuip an exchange
in thoroughly first class man
ner. This work has been ac-
complished. The people of Co
lumbus have a telephone plant
and equipment second to none
in the world. II is a we'll recog-
nized fact that the number of
telephones embraced in an ex-
change, and the number of calls
handled through an exchange,
determine, regulate and fix the
price of the service as long as
the service is rendered on a flat
basis, or, in other words, at 90
much per month. There are
about eight hundred telephones
connected with the Columbus
exchange. The rates that we are
proposing, to-wit: SD. for bus
mess telephones and $500 for
residence telephones, are neces-
sary rates when the price il
measured by the cost of render.
ing the service, and these are
the rates that we have announc.
ed, and are the rates that were
discussed at the meeting helo
June II, 1905.
The present high price of al
telephone material and electrical
equipment makes the margin o
pragt on business handled at this
time very close, at the rates pro
posed.
| We take pleasure in announc'
ling the satisfactory installation

FIFTEEN CENTS
Is Price Of Cotton Adopted BY
Farmers Union.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. Z
The convention of the Farmers
Union unanimously adopted the
report of the committee especial
lily appointed for that purpose to
fix the price of cotton at 10 cents
per pound. Chairman D. j. Neil
read the following report in con-
vention:
"We. your committee, beg
leave to submit the following re-
port: That the minimum price
of cotton be fixed at 10 cents for
September, and one-fourth of
one per cent per pound increase
per month for six months be fix
ed as our standard. The ware
house comm ttee recommended
the building of warehou ses all
over the south for the purpose
of holding the staple for price.
and, also, to sell direct to the
spinners. Direct trade relations
with the manufacturers is as
sured. The minimum price for
wheat wa fixed at 81 per bushel;
corn 80 cents; oats, 30 cents.
These rates apply to the grain
belt.
The convention condemned the
methods of a Texas warehouse
company which are operating in
in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisi=
ana. This company is an inde-
pendent concern, composed of
outsiders as the head of which
is several bankers. Acting Gov
ernor Pindall addressed the con-
Yention at its morning session.
The price of Sea Island cotton
was fixed at A, 48 and 90 cents
per pound.
Chas. S. Barrett, of Georgia,
was elected national president,
o. P, Pyle, of Texas, placed in
nomination the name of MIR.

gia, seconded it. Mr.. McCnllooh,
of A rkansas, was elected secre-
tary, Miller, of Tax 8; Morris, of
Alabama; Wilson, Of Mississippi,
and Jefferds. of Oklahoma, were
elected educative committeeman.
The report Of the atate bust
meas agents shows the cotton
crop is far below the average,
and much short Of last year. In
Georgia, the crop is 10 per cent
off from last year. In Texas, it is
claimed, only 100000 bales
will be raised. In the middle gulf
states the crops is very short.
The convention adopted the
plan of the state business agents
to establish national bureau.
This bureau will be located at
the national headquarters,
Through the medium of this bu-
reau the producer Of the west
may sell his products of ths oona
sumer Of the south direct, and
vice versa. The establishment of
the bureau is considered one OF
the wisest moves the union has
yet made.
The conYeE ton condemned the
methods OF certain warehouse
building companies who are US
ing the name of the union and
officers to further their schemes.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that it is pity there is So much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do. so much lifting, bending and stOoping; they are bound by custom to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backschs and beaTing-down pains, headache, dizzy spells. faiHtness and lack smbi- tfon. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble
 Ask yourself this question: Are nv kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment, or a stTingy settling in the urine; if passages are too frequent and eopious. or scantv and painful. it Is time to begin using Deans Kidney Pills Delay may run you into

Shingles are one of the most im- portant lumber products in this coun- try. says the forest service report of the United States agricultural de- pertinent. Last year nearly twelve billions were made. Even this enor- nous number was a heavy falling off from the total of the year. It is q significant fact that the chief source of shinglc supply is now the forests of the far northwest. from which shingles are brought even to New York. The eastern sources Of supply are not able 10 meet the eastern de mand IL is therefore fortunate that shingles are so easily given T pre- servative treatment by which their life is heightened. Many handsome residences in all parts of the country have their sides and gables covered with shingles. This architectural use often calls for staining or painting in harmonious colors Such colofing is less frequently seen on roofs, where 1t does not last long. because rain washes it off The forest service has been experimenting in this fcld. also. and has foInd that stains may he carried into the shingles. along with tho conservatives hy a new process.
