Tomorrow will be generally
observed as a holiday through
out the city. The postofice and
banks will be closed and also the

the people from Pickens county
in. royal style.
An excursion train will bring
many people from Cochran,

towns in that county and they

DECISION IN
SMITH CASE
DECISION OF THE CASE OF C. R. SMITH
WILL PROBABLY Be HEARD To-
MORROW
INSPECTION OF THE RECORD

The public is already familiar
with the fact that the case of c.
r. Smith against the State
which was argued in the SUI
preme Court several weeks ago
and taken under advisernent by
the Supreme Court. A decision
is expected tomorrow owing to
the fact that court will adjourn
for the term on that day, and
if the case went over to the next
term the decision would not be
rendered until next December,
and it is hardly probable that
the court would delay a decision
of so much Importance until that
time.
On inspection of the record in
the Supreme Court in the case
of Charles r. Smith against the
State shows that no brief was
filed by any attorneys for the
State except one by Geo. Butler,
assistant attorney general. This
practically amounts to abandon
ment by the State of its prose
cution of Smith, and consequent
ly it will not be a surprise to
those who have followed the
case to hear of a reversal of the
verdict as rendered by the jury
in the circuit court here last
January. No reason is given by
the State for the failure to file
briefs in so important a matter.

.RUMORS OF A
NEW COTTON MILL
THE MACHINERY OF THE COLUMBUS
YARN AND TEXTILE MILLS SOLD TO
A COMPANY IN OKLAHOMA
TO Be MOVED

The machinery belonging to
the Columbus Yarn and Textile
mills formerly known as the
knitting and underwear plant,
which was erected in the south
eastern part of the city about five
years ago, under the manage
ment of the Kavanaugh Bros.
has been sold to a company in
Chickasha, okla, and the ma
chinery will be moved to that
city in the next thirty days.
The outfit having brought about
$40, 600.
There is a rumor to the effect
that company will organize a
cotton mill for the manufacture
of cotton cloth in the building
that will be vacated, and they in
all probability will be ready for
business by early fall.
Cotton mills are what we need
in the South where there is
plenty of raw material and the
manufacture of the plain cloth
seems to be easier made, as it
requires less skill.
Columbus and the adjoining
territory is large enough to sup
port another enterprise of this
kind and the new business will
certainly meet with a large pat
ronage and be the means of a
new era in the development of
this section.

MAKING A
TENTED CITY
THINGS ASSUMING SHAPE AT CAMP SAM
PIE. COL. JOHN MAYO WILL
LEAVE SOON
REGULARS WILL Be SENT

The following from the Jack
son Daily News, in regard to the
State Encampment which will
be held in that city this month,
will be read with interest by
Columbus people:
The work of erecting compa-
ny tents for the two regiments of
the Mississippi National Guard
at Camp Sam Sample was COM
pleted last night. and the detail
Of thirty officers and privates on
duty at the camp is now engaged
in the erection of tents for Off
GERS, bath houses, commissary
quarters. etc.
The National Guard tentage is
practically new, the old equip
ment that had seen service for
nearly a dozen years having been
condemned by the board of sur
vey, and both regiments are now
equipped with Sibley round tops.
AS the big tented city gradu-
ally assumes shape it is becom-
ing apparent that Adjutant Gen.
eral Fridge and his associates
have formed their plans with ex-
ceptional care, and when the
troops arrive here on the 18th of
July a model camp will be in
readiness for use during their
ten-day stay.
Col. j. P. Mayo, of Columbus.
paymaster general on the gov
ernor's staff, will reach the city
soon and report for duty. Col.
Mayo will pay off the soldiers a
few days prior to breaking camp.
The battalion of regulars to be
sent here from Fort Mcpherson
will receive their pay shortly be-
fore reaching Jackson. 1t is es-
timated that the soldiers will
spend between $500 and S70.-
900 during their stay here.
Major General S. r. Keesler,
of Greenwood. will reach here
Monday morning, accompanied
by members of his military staff,
and formally assume command at
Camp Sam Sample.

NORMAL SCHOOL
CLOSES SATURDAY
FACULTY HIGHLY ENTERTAINED

This week will bring to q close
the normal school at the Indus
trial Institute and College which
has been a success from every
viewpoint. The attendance has
been good and there was never
such general interest manifested
as has been shown in each de-
partment. State Superintendent
of Education Powers addressed
the teachers Thursday and gave
some wholesome advice to those
who have engaged in the great
and noble work of teaching.
On Friday morning Mr.. Thom-
as Mayo made an Grafton in the
college chapel that was thor
oughly enjoyed.
On, Friday .evening the teach
ers entertained the faculty at
Lake Park where refreshments
were served.
Perhaps no feature of the nor
NAL school has been more thor
oughly enjoyed than the athletic
department which embraced
swimming lessons. Miss Adele
Koch has been untiring in her
instructions to those learning to
swim.
Every lady or girl has the OPP
portunity by paying twenty-five
cents that regular pupils have.

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 80 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 purifes 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
