The Advertising Committee in
their weekly report, advised that
the completion of the Cananea

came up for discussion it was
heartily approved, and attention
was called to the fact that the
roailroad would make excursion
rates over the line as far as the
town Of Santa Cruz on August 10Th,
to mark the beginning of regular
traffic to that point. On motion

The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1908-12-31

A new train is soon TO be put in
service on the main line OF the Mo-
bile & Ohio Railroad. and officials
of the road are now in St. Louis
working on the schedule. IL viii be
a local train. and the stations be
tween which it will run have not yet
been decided upon. The installation
of the new train viii necessitate
changes in the schedules OF trains
already in operation. and the details
are now being worked out by the
officials in ST. Louis.
1t is understood that the officials
are considering the advisability OF
dividing that portion OF the line lying
between Mobile and Okolona into two
divisions, one division extending from
Mobile to Meridian and the other
from Meridian to Okolona. In the
event that this is done one superin-
tendent viii have charge of both
divisions, but there will be two train
masters. one having headquarters al
Mobile and the other at Meridian.
AT present there is a trainmaster and
an assistant trainmaster, and this
arrangement has not proven salts
factory, the orders of the two OH
cials having at various times been
conflicting
The contemplated changes viii not
materially affect Columbus. as it is
not likely that the train service on
- a -. ar.
creased. While the details have not
yet been completed il is probable that
a schedule viii be sgranged whereby
two trains going in opposite direc-
tions will pass at Artesia. and one
train on the branch viii make con
nection with a train going each way
on the main line

FIRST BOAT OF THE
SEASON ARRIVED
STEAMER NEW HAVEN LANDED
HERE On MONDAY, HAVING
BEEN FIRST IN COLTM-
BUS THIS SEASON.
Left Mobile ON December 10, More
Than a Week Having Been Re-
quired to Make the Trip;
Brought Coed Cargo.

The steamer New Haven, after a
long and tedious trip, reached here
Monday, having been the first boat
to land at the local wharf this sea-
son. The New Haven came from
Mobile, having left that city on Fri
day, December 18th. Ten days were
required to make the trip, so much
time having been consumed on ac-
count of the fact that number of
stops were made and that the boat
travelled only in the day time, hav-
ing remained tied up at night. The
days are short at this season of the
year, and the progress of the New
Haven was naturally slow.
The boat brought good cargo
of freight from points down the river,
cotton and cottonseed having formed
the bulk of her cargo. There were
$50 bales of cotton and 1900 sacks
of cottonseed, besides some other
miscellaneous freight.
The New Haven is controlled by
Mr.. ]. E. Stewart, a wealthy farmer
CT Pickens, and will make regular
trips to Columbus throughout the
season. The boat is in charge of
Capt Charles May as master, and
Mr.. J. E. Stewart, Jr., is clerk, while
Capt. j. r. Johnson, who was for
merly in the government service on
the Tom bigbee and who knows the
river thoroughly, is the pilot.
The New Haven left on her return
trip down the river at daylight on
Tuesday. carrying cargo of misce1-
laneous freight. The boat is sched-
uled to return here Monday, and will
make regular weekly trips between
Columbus and Demopolis.

Sam Smith Drops Dead.

Death came suddenly to Sam
Smith, an aged negro, last Sunday
afternoon. He was attending the
funeral of Tom Glass at Shiloh
church, when he was suddenly strick-
en- with heart failure and died within
few minutes.
Sam, who was more than seventy
years old, was a member of the col
ored Odd Fellows Lodge, and went
to Shiloh church Sunday afternoon
to attend the funeral of Tom Glass,
who was member of the same lodge.
He occupied a seat near the stove,
and when one of his fellow mourners
saw him sink down to the floor he
thought he had been overcome by
the heat. Several men seated nearby
rushed to the assistance of the un-
fortunate negro, and he was taken
from the church out into the open
air. Medical aid was summoned, and
two physicians responded to the call,
but before either of them reached the
scone death had come to the old man.
AIlSI dn OI the UOQy
the physicians diagnosed the case as
heart failure.
Sam had for number of years
been employed as foreman and lot
overseer at Gunter's cotton ware
house on North Market street, and
was well thought of by his employ
ers and the patrons of the establish
ment. He had been in feeble health
all winter, having suffered slight
attack OF heart failure last Saturday.
He soon recovered, however, and
seemed to be perfectly well on Sun
day. He was hard working negro,
and leaves an estate worth several
hundred dollars, having carried in
surance in a number of the lodges
and fraternal orders of which he was
member.
The body was buried at the col
ored cemetery on Tuesday morning,
the funeral having been attended by
several OF the lodges of which the
old man was a member.

Earthquake in Italy.

There was a violent earthquake
shock in Southern Italy on Monday
morning The loss of both life and
property is exceedingly large, two
thirds of the city OF Messina having
been destroyed The earthquake oc-
Cured at five o'clock in the morning,
and the shock lasted for thirty-two
seconds.
1t is stated in press dispatches that
the number of dead at Messina will
run well into the thousands, and at
Calabria five persons were killed OUT
right and many others injured. asa
At Catanina the tidal wave which
accompanied the shock sank five hun
dred boats, and did great damage
to a large number of vessels and
steamers, including the Australian
steamer Buda. The panic-stricken
people, fearing new shocks, absolute
ly refused to re-enter their houses,
and are camping on the public
squares which are free from water.
The property loss has not been
officially estimated, and unofficial es-
Inmates vary from SIS, 100000 to
S150.o00 900, while, according to
press dispatches from the Italian cap
ital, the loss of human lives will run
well into the thousands.

State Dry Affer Thursday.

A special from Jackson says: AT
ter Thursday Mississippi's new stat
utory prohibition law will become op-
erative, and the open saloons in the
seven wet counties of the State
will close their doors and discon-
tinue business.
This l. perhaps the first time IN
the history of statutory prohibition
enactments that no legal test has
been planned TO prevent the enforce
ment of the measure. The saloonists
of Mississippi have decided to make
full surrender, and during the
Christmas holiday period will en-
deavor to dispose of stocks now on
hand, removing the remainder that
may be in their store rooms to points
outside the State after January /.
The wet counties are Jackson,
Harrison, Hancock, Adams, Warren,
Washington and Tunica, and the
large towns in the counties In which
open saloons are operated are Scran-
ton, Biloxi, Natehez, Vicksburg and
Greenville.
From the standpoint of revenue,
the closing of the saloons will have
but little effect on the receipts OF
the State treasury, but in the several
communities where saloons exist it
will be necessary for municipal bod
les to devise other means of raising
revenue to make up the deficit that
will follow the closing of the saloons.
That Mississippi's new liquor law
is legal from every viewpoint is gen.
orally conceded. It was drafted by
several of the ablest lawyers in the
State, afterward submitted for criti-
cism by constitutional experts, and
then given careful review by the Ju-
dietary, constitutional and liquor
traffic committees of both branches
of the legislature. 1t is brief and to
the point, simply abolishing the liq-
uor traffic in all of its forms in Mis-
sissippi, in lieu of the local option
laws that have hitherto prevailed.
So far as known, the prohibi7
tionists and temperance advocates in
the wet" towns have not made prep
arations of any kind to celebrate the
closing of the saloons, and it is not
likely they will do so, in view of the
cheerful surrender that has been
made by the saloonists. When the
statutory law was pending in the leg
islature, the liquor forces, realizing
the inevitable, made no effort of any
kind to prevent its passage. the only
request made by them being that
the date of enforcement be deferred
until December 81, in order to allow
them opportunity to wind UP their
business affairs and retire from the
traffic without financial loss.
