INDEX To GENERAL BUSINESS
CONDITIONS
A NET GAIN OF s622.24

| The quarterly report sent il
by Postmaster Wood for the
period ending June 30th, which
report covers the months o1
April, May and June, shows g
most satisfactorily gain in the
receipts at the local office over
the corresponding period of last
year, 1908.
The receipts for the second
quarter in 1909, just closed, a
mounted to $5337. 81, while for
the second quarter last year they

gain from the sale of stamps,

During the past year many of
the offices in Mississippi and
other southern states have not
been able to meet the same busi-
ness they did twelve months
ago and some offices have been
dropped grade by the post
office department. The general
depression in business of all lines
is supposed to be the cause.
The postal receipts of a city

the general business condition
of the place and when Columbus
continues to grow in receipts
at the local office it shows
good, healthy condition upon US.

Hygienic Hints.

The Torrid-Zone weather
under which we have sweIter-
ed for a month suggests the
interesting subject If Balne-
ology or Baths.
Public baths have never
been common institutions in
this country as in So. Europe
and the East the Y. NJ. C. A.
natatoriums being the nearest
approach, which seem all
the more strange considering
our long. ennervating sum-
mers and our facilities for get
ting plenty of water.
The temperature and dura-
ton of the bath should be de-
termined by certain conditions;
the morning bath should be
cold, and to get the full tonic
or electrifying reaction a
shower or plunge is better.
The best cooling to be had
in hot weather is to spend an
hour in tepid water (100o)
during the afternoon.
Hot baths are best taken at
bed time, as exposure to
draughts soon after causes
colds.
1t is dangerous to immerse
the body in hot water without
first wetting the head to pre-
vent rapid increase of blood
pressure in the brain; another
precaution worth remember
ing is never to bathe within
less than two hours after a
full meal and lest some expo
nent of the great unWashed"
finds refuge behind this in
junction we would urge him
to take the bath, and post
pone the meal.

THE COLUMBUS
BRICK COMP ANY
BRICK YARDS, UNDER MANAGEMENT OF
MESSRS. IIRDAMOOD AND PUCKETT
HAS GROWN RAPIDLY
DOING MUCH FOR COLUMBUS

No doubt there are many peo-
pie in this section who have nc
idea of the magnitude of the
Columbus Brick Company locat-
ed just outside of the corpora
ton limits northeast of the city.
The business is under the super
vision of Messrs. Lindamood &
Puckett, who started here
only a few years ago on a
very small scale, and their sue
cess has been phenomenal owing
largely to their strictly honest
business methods. Their busi-
ness has had such wonderful
growth that they cover a large
trading territory. They are now
Shipping brick to Alabama, Ten
nessee and all of the towns
throughout Mississippi. The
daily output is 100. ZOO, yearly
output 100000, 600 and they
employ about a hundred and
fifty men making a weekly pay
roll of several hundred dollars.
Such enterprising concerns as
the Columbus Brick Company is
what helps build a town, only a
small knowledge of this business
can be had in this brief article,
but a visit to the plant will
prove that this enterprising firm
is doing things, and plays quite
an important part in the making
of Columbus.

A Wonderful Invention, the
Home Comfort Air Pump

A device unequaled for the
conveyance of water from wells
and cisterns into your house
with little exertion, and no ex-
posure to bad weather. Take
for comparison your old style
pump, which is the only device
you have or can get, outside of
city water works, and costs more
than the average man wants to
pay, and at best cost you very
nearly as much as the Home
Comfort Pump" The old style
pump seldom draws water verti-
Gle height over SO feet and you
still have to carry the water into
your house in bad weather. The
Home Comfort sits snugly
in your kitchen, dining-room or
back porch, as you prefer. You
have only with little exertion to
use the air pump which forces
the water into your room. The
air generated by the use of the
pump purifies the water. The
Home Comfort" lasts a life
time and never gets out of order.
Give me a chance to demon
strate this wonderful invention
in your well. You try it and
you will buy it. / have it on ex-
hibition now at Columbus, Macon

JUSTICE WHITFIELD
IS COMPLIMENTED
THAT PUBLIC OPINION IS UNDERGOING
A COMPLETE REVERSAL IS SHOWN BY
COMMENTS
COMEtNTS FROM JACKSON

That public opinion in a cause
celebre is undergoing a complete
reversal is shown by following
comments from Jackson, Miss.
Chief Juctice Whitfield is
being very highly complimenteC
upon the able dissenting opinion
rendered by him in connection
with the appeal of Charles r.
Smith, which was yesterday
evening decided by a majority
of the court against the appel
liant. 1t appears that a number
of members of the bar are in ac-
cord with him on the point made
by the defendants counsel, that
on the trial of the case Smith
did not have that fair and i'm
partial trial which the law and
the constitution guarantee to
every man charged with crime.
This was manifest from the
record and exceptions connected
with the celebrated trial at Co
lumbus during February, when
the very applause and other
manifestations of hostility to-
wards the defendant. and par
tiality toward the prosecution,
went to show that the trial was
not fair and impartial, and
such scenes and demonstrations
were well calculated to influence
any jury" The fact that the
court made every effort to check
the demonstrations, and without
the full measure of success that
should have obtained, was even
more conclusive OH this point.
The learned chief justice holds
also that in view of the very
plain .and uncontroverted main
facts in connection with the
at the Artesia depot, and
all the actions of the defendant
prior thereto, his refusal to ac-
,ept the positive statement, both
If his daughter and of her med
cal attendant as to her relations
With Laurent, and the deliberate
md positive manner in which he
an down and killed Laurent, in
spite of his protests, justified |
he belief that if he was guilty |
# any crime, and deserving of |
my fate at all, it W as plain mur-
ler and death. In his opinion, |
lie was a fit subject for detention
n an institution for the treat
nent and care of the mentally |
1t is understood that the at
orneys representing Smith will
,repare a suggestion of error. as
oon as they have studied the
leciding opinion, and will prob
bly, file it on Monday, for the
of the court in va
alton. The court may or may
lot decide the points to be raised
Turing vacation, and what is
hought more likely is that it
will be held until the fall term,
'ut meanwhile it operates as a
tay Of execution, and there is
10 likelihood that Smith will en-
er upon his life term of impris-
nment for some months, not
the majority of the
ourt has spoken out very painly
\ the affirming opinion.

NORMAL SCHOOL
CLOSED FRIDAY
ATTENDANTS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
THROUGH THE ENTIRE TERM. TEACH
ERS LEFT YESTERDAY
WANT A STATE NORMAL

The normal school that ha:
been in session for the past foul
weeks at the Industrial Institute
and College closed last week anC
examinations were held Thurs.
day and Friday. There were
about two hundred and forty
nine names enrolled all of whom
were serious in the prosecu-
tion Of their work, evidenced by
the fact that they remained until
school closed. Often teachers go
to the normal schools simply be-
cause the rules of the State re-
quire them to. They go and
spend a few days and return
home. This has not been the
case, however, with those who
came to the /. l. and c.. they
have remained here and taken
interest throughout the term
which speaks well for the man
agement.
Columbus people regret to see
them depart and shall always be
ready with a cordial welcome for
them each summer.
There is a move on foot to es-
tablish a State normal for the
training of teachers, and bill
will be introduced at the next
session of the legislature pro-
viding for this school. The nor
NAL schools that have just closed
throughout the State have
adopted resolutions about as fol-
lows:
I'VE believe the boys and girls
of Mississippi are her richest re-
sources.
We believe the education of
these boys and girls is the most
important work the state can do.
eve believe this work must
be done mainly in the public
schools.
In order for the work to be
efficiently done there must be
teachers equipped to do it.
TO provide these teachers,
thus properly equipped to do this
work, we believe the state should |
offer the privilege of a state
school for the teachers.
I'VE therefore, believing all
these things, do hereby petition
the Legislators of our state to
make provision for this training
school at the earliest possible
date.
And this we sincerely urge, |
because we believe a school like
this would come nearer carrying
it's benefits to all the people than
would any other kind of state
The force and energy gener-
ated in a school like this would
be Immediately redistributed
through all the children in the
state. "
