The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1909-10-03

first day of real college spirit
! after the necessary laborious-
ness of registration and classi-
fication which has filled the
past week. The day was replete
with wholesome, rousing events,
and college cheer and enthusi-
asm ran high. At nine o'clock
the Athletic League was organ
lied and its beginning celebrated
by many yells and songs. some
old, some new. The first bas-
ket-ball game of the season,
which was ulled off in the after
noon, was, like all other games,
at the cole e. productive of
boundless enthusiasm. But the
biggest stuat of the day was the
Campus Improvement League
Celebration, just after dinner.
The League was reorganize for
the year '09-'10, and it was then
that the plans. for the campaign
on Saturday, were unfolded to
the old and new members. At
one thirty, yesterday, the great
army of students and faculty, in
aprons and dust caps with brooms
slung over their shoulders,
formed in line of march back of
the dormitory. The officers of
the Outdoor department of the
league with vari-colored banners
were each in command of a
squad of workers, wearing tint
ed badges to proclaim their vari-
Gus assignments, in the pageant.
With courageous and enthusi-
astic hearts, the throng of
dirt-destroyers marched stead
fastly across the front campus,
under the monarch oak, past the
dormitories and music hall, on to
the park, where they circled the
running track in hearty declara-
ton of their loyalty. Then each
doughty lieutenant led out her
company to a different part of
the campus and the line of
march was broken. And now
the leaves, sticks, and paper were
speedily brought into orderly
piles, while Jerry with his dom
key and cart hurried nightly to
keep up with the busy tribe. AS
each tract of ground became
cleanly and beautiful the crowd
scattered and basket ball was the
order of the day. With enthusi-
asm like that of Saturday, our
college campus will soon be as
lovely as its natural beauty de-
mands, and it's influence as a fac
tor in state, county and town i'm
provement will be unlimited.
The Y. w. C. A. of the college
gave its annual reception to the
new students On Friday evening
in music hall. Golden rod and
autumn leaves were used in
abundance throughout the build
ing and gave to handsome sur
roundings artistic charm. The
faculty and entire student body
attended and a music program
was the special feature. The
advisory board with the new sec
retary, Miss Hyde and the presi-
dent, Miss Ethridge, were
in line to receive the guests.
Delicious fruit punch was served

Troops, three companies of the
national guard, were called out
Friday at the request of Sheriff
Prowell. to protect the negroes,
Henry and Reese Belts, who are
in Jail for the murder of J. w.
Smith, the farmer whose mutt
lated body was found Sept. 18th,
buried in a swamp near Chowder
Springs, not far from Smiths
plantation. The orders to the
Caledonia Rifles and the West
Point companies, however, were
countermanded before their de-
parture for Columbus, and only
the Columbus Riflemen were on
duty at the Jail Friday night.
That any move was on foot to
attack the jail has not been ascer-
tanned, but it is supposed that
Sheriff Prowell deemed the call
ing out of the troops justified.
On the strength of the testi-
mony Of the negro. Henry Belts,
who confessed, and was yester-
terday convicted and sentenced
to be hanged for the murder, Mr..
w. S. Muslin, a prominent cit
izen of Columbus, was indicted
Friday for the murder of Smith
and was placed under a S25, 900
bond for his appearance at the
January term of court. 1t is re-
ported that the negro testified
before the grand jury that Mr..
Muslin had promised him 500
to kill Smith.
Thursday, Henry Belts con-
fessed to Judge Buckley and
Sheriff Prowell to the murder of
Smith and yesterday he was
tried, convicted and sentenced to
be hanged Nov. 26. There seems
to be no evidence against his
brother, Reese Belts.
Henry Belts states that he
alone killed Smith, telling in de-
tail the story of his crime, and
swears that none of the five
other negroes in Jail held as sus-
poets had any hand in the mur-
der
It is stated that this indict-
ment against Mr.. Muslin was
found upon the uncorroborated
testimony of Belts, the convicted
negro murderer and of Belts
father. 1t is safe to say that
none of Mr.. Mustin's acquaintan-
ces believe that he had any
thing to do with the murder of
Smith That his bond which
was promptly given was placed
at $25, 600, the largest bond ever
required in a criminal case in
Lowndes county, occasioned con-
siderable surprise. Those Of
Mr.. Mustin's friends who desire
the freest investigation of sall
crimes, express great indigna-
tion and say that it is stretching
things a little too far when a
good citizen is indicted all on the
testimony Of two negroes, one of
whom is a convicted murderer
and the other the father of the
convict.
1t is not doubted that Mr.. Mus
tin will be acquitted on his trial
in January.
