WILL BEGIN WORK
ON PiCkENS LINE
CONTRACTORS WILL COMMENCE
WORK on PICkENS COUNTY
DIVISION OF 4. AND +. Y
RAILROAD THIS WEEK.
Work, However, VIII Begin AT Pick
ensville, and Local Merchants
VIII Derive No Benefit
TherefrOm.

According TO the dope given ont
by officials of the Aberdeen and
Tombigbee Valley Railroad Company.
work on the Pickens county division
f.. OF the line Will begin this week. The
Peters Construction Company, of St.
Louis, which concern has the con-
tract for the building of the road, has
sub-let contracts for grading on this
division TO the following contractors:
A. B. Morrow, of Pine Bluff. Ark,
who has an eighty-muIe outfit; Frank
Smith, OF Fort Smith, Ark. who has
a forty-mule outfit; G. B. Egger and
John Anderson, of White, Ark, who
each have ffteen-muIe outfits.
As far as an increase in trade is
concerned, Columbus would not
know that the road is being built.
and it seems that local merchants viii
derive no benefit from work to be
done on the Pickens county division
One of the contractors viii start out
from Pickensville, and the other
three viii begin work at different
points along the line, none of them
starting out from Columbus. The
company gives as a reason for this
mode of procedure that the route by
which they will enter the city has not
yet been determined, and it would
therefore be impracticable 10 begin
work here.
1t is known that the company is
experiencing considerable difficulty
in securing right of way. The own
ers OF a plat of land near this city
though which the contemplated line
runs have given the officials Of the
road legal notice not TO enter the
premises to make a survey, grade the
road bed or for any purpose whatso-
ever. Other owners of land along the
contemplated line of the Pickens
county division have failed to make
terms with the railroad company. and
it is probable that a large portion Of
the right of way will have TO be Sc
cured through eminent domain pro
ceedings,

TRIBUTE TO NESTOR
OF CONFEDERACY
CENTURIAL ANNIVERSARY OF
BIRTH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS
WAS CELEBRATED AT COURT
HOUSE WEDNESDAY.
Judge Newman Cayce Delivered Me-
mortal Address, and Paid Glow
ing Tribute to Patriot
and Statesman.

The people Of Columbus gave new
evidence Of their love for the South
and their reverence for its heroes
d last Wednesday by celebrating in a
solemn and august manner the cen
turiaI anniversary of the birth Of
Jefferson Davis, the nestor Of the
Confederacy, which occurred on that
day. The celebration took place at
the court house at eleven O'Clock on
Wednesday morning, and was under
the joint auspices of Isham Harrison
Camp No. p, United Confederate
Veterans, and the local chapter Of
the United zAtars Of the Confed-
eracy.
After Gods blessing had been in
voked upon the assembIage by Rev.
W E. DakiD, rector of St. PauI's
Episcopal church, the choir sung
'Many are the Friends Waiting To-
day" and Mrs. J. T. Tarrant, Of
Birmingham, read an appropriate Sc
lection. Then Col. w. C. Richards,
commander Of the local camp of Con-
federate Veterans, presented Judge
Newman Cayce, who delivered the me-
mortal address. Judge Cayce select
ed as his theme The Life and Char
acter Of Jefferson Davis, and in an
eloquent and fOrcefuI address paid
glowing tribute TO the nestor of the
Confederacy. The life Of Davis. 3"
said Judge Cayce, has been charac-
terized as an epic poem, the principal
characters in which We're heroes,
statesmen and warriors, and while
this is true and while the great and
good men by whom he was surround
ed furnish a noble and beautiful set
ting for the central figure, it is the
halo Of the principles of the loftiest
honor, the unblemlshed, unfaltering
and unfailing integrity, the truest pa
triotism and love for his country and
his people which danger could not
daunt or peril or privation change
which rests. a golden glow upon his
knightly brow and commands and re-
oeives the admiration and invites the
emulation of all futures ages
In referring 10 the relationship ex-
listing between the Confederate lead
er and the citizens Of his adopted
State, Judge Cayce said: To Nissis-
sippians Jefferson Davis was doubly
dear. To him, our beloved stare bore
that dearest Of all appellations, that
closest and sweetest name. mother.
and TO that mother he gave all the
impulses of his noble heart, the low
ing, faithful service Of his most illus
trious character, all the devotion of
his loyal, knightly nature.
1t had been planned 10 deliver
crosses OF honor TO three Confederate
veterans whose applications had been
favorably acted upon, but none of
these veterans were present, and con
sequent1y no crosses were distributed.
At the conclusion of Judge Cages /
address Mr.. A. B. Gooche sang Face
TO Face" and Col. v. c. Richards
read the rules Of the United Confed-
crate Veterans governing celebrations
OF this character. After a beautiful
selection had been read by Miss
Miriam Sykes, Mrs Warren Mcclure
very charmingly rendered a vocal Sc
lection, and the assemblage was dis
missed, the benediction having been
pronounced by Rev. ]. ]. Hill, pastor |
Of the First Presbyterian church.
