LIGHT ON the CITY CHARTER
W. A. LEDBeTTRR's VIEW OF THE
AUTHORITY OF MAYOR AND
COUNCIL REGARDING ELECTION

The state Constitution and the Act
of the Legislature approved May %,
1905. provides that whcn the Free
Holders have prepared proposed
charter for a city. 1t shall he signed
i'm duplicate by the members of the
board or a majority of them, and
one copy delivered to the chief exec
u,ivc officer e the city and the other
to the registrar of deeds. That i'll
should bc then published and not car
licr than twenty days after the publ.
cation IL shall be submitted to thol
voters of the city and il a majority
Of them vote I'm favor Of g.:
1T shall he submitted 10 the Gov
crnor for his approval, and The GOV
ornor shall approve the same II itl
shall not be- in conflict with the Con
stlmuou and laws Of the state. Upon
such approval 10 shall become the orr
ganic law of such city and supcrscdcI
any existing charter and all amend
mcnts thereof and all ordinances iu-
consistent with it,
So that when the governor approved
the Ardmore charter 1t became the
organic law of the city, according TO
it's own terms and provisions. one
of its provisions is:
THAT the foregoing charter and
the municipal government thereby
created shall remain in allegiance aft.
or its adoption and approval as pro
vidcd in the Constitution and laws
of this state until after the first cleo
ton of the officers, which by the pro-
visions of this charter are required
to be- elected, and the present Mayor
and City Council OF such City OF Ard
more shall until after said first cleo
tion continue to possess and exercise
the powers and duties imposed on
them by law"
II is clear to my mind that the
charter Is not in operation now and
will not be in operation until after
the election Of the officers provided
for in the charter.
All that is necessary TO be done is
TO call the election, and when the
elective officers named i'm the charter
qualify, the charter will then go into
effect and supersede the old city gov
crnment. The provision in the law
with reference to filing copy in the Of
] flee of the secretary Of state does not
affect the operation of the charter
but IA copy of the charter certified as
provided by law is required to be
! filed in the Office of the secretary oI
state and kept in the archives of the
state so that thereafter all courts
shall take judicial notice Of such char
| ter"
The purpose Of this provision is tC
relieve litigants and all persons deaf
/ ing with the charter of the necessity
of Introducing it in evidence in the
courts.
| repeat that the charter is not now
! IN operation, but the old government
is still in effect and will remain II
effect until after the election Of the
now officers.

TO PUT ON ACCOM-
MODATIoN TRAIN
BUSINESS ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY IN
MISSISSIPPI plcklHs UP. ANOTHER
TRAIN WILL Be PUT ON IN OCT.
TO MAKE OTHER ADDITIONS

At a meeting of the railroad
commissioners in Jackson last
Wednesday, a question of putting
on an additional passenger train
between Winona and Columbus
on the Southern in Mississippi,
was settled. The train will be
ordered put on October 9Th and
will be run strictly as an accom-
mediation, leaving Winona about
z a. m, arriving back at Winona
about 7:30 p. m.
The question of putting on this
train has been discussed for a
long time by the officials of the
Southern and Mobile & Ohio. 1t
will no doubt be a paying propo-
sition to the railroad company as
we'll as the merchants of Colum-
bus. This city will no doubt
reap more benefit than any other
town along the line; it being the
largest town and wholesale and
retail market in this section of
the state. This will also enable
the people of Columbus to leave
here either at z a. m, 12:45 p.
M, or about A p. m, and visit
neighboring towns, returning the
same day.
The matter of additional sleep
ing cars is a subject that is being
considered. There will also be
two additional freight schedules.

Columbus, Miss, Sept. 10.
1909.-The Columbus CONNER
cial of the 9th inst. again calls
our attention to the necessity of
erecting a Y. M. G. A. building
in Columbus for our young plen
and boys. Referring to the initi-
ative that was taken last year,
whel several hundred dollars
was subscribed-the writer is not
a young man, neither is he an
old man. He is not much of q
mixer. nor does he want to butt
into young mems business. but
he is patriotic and thinks enough
of our young men and of his
home city to assist in building a
handsome Y. M. c. A. building.
We cannot build intelligently
without plans, and he thinks if
we will get plans for a handsome
building that we can get sub
scriptions more readily, thereby
get the structure started in the
near future. Let us make start,
and work together for the build
ing, and for a handsome one,
appropriate to our beautiful and
growing city. Let us get this
matter out of its dormant state.
The writer will make plans free
of charge.

Negro Run Over.

John Henderson, a negro of

bound passenger train No. IL.
Friday at Maben. AS the train
pulled into the station the negro
stepped on the track just in front
of the engine. Several persons
at the depot saw the danger and
tried to warn him, but were un-
able to attract his attention, the
train striking him cutting his
left leg off and badly injuring his
arm and shoulder. He was
turned over to DIR. Thomas at
Maben.

After an illness for several
weeks, Mrs. Alice Dill Morton,
wife of Mr.. Dewitt Morton of
this city, passed away at her
home on Military street, early
Thursday morning. She was a
consistant member of the Metho-
dist church and her sweet Chris
tian influence will be missed by
all who ever had the pleasure of
knowing her. She was always
un iring in her efforts to help
those in distress, and went about
in this work, in a quiet and un-
ostentatious way. For several
years she was connected with
this office and during that time
she never left anything undone
to further the interest of the
management.
Mrs. Morton is survived by a
husband and a little three year
old son, besides two sisters, Mrs.
May Samon of Birmingham, and
Mrs. Thompson Hardin of Stat
ford, Ala. and a brother, Rev.
Ralph Dill. of Littleton, Ala all
of whom have the sympathy of
the entire community in their
great sorrow.
The funeral services were held
from the family residence Friday
morning at $3.50 o'clock conduct
ed by Rev. T. w. Lewis, after
which she was peacefully laid to
rest in Friendship cemetery. The
following acted as pallbearers:
Messrs. w. A. Suber, w. S. Null

COMMENTS FROM
PROMINENT CITIZENS
TWO ARTICLES ON THE GOOD ROADS QUESTION AND THE
BUILDIN6 OF A y M C. A.

In disposing of the road ques-
ton for the coming year, the
board of supervisors must exer-
else their best judgment, and the
citizens of the county must re-
member that the supervisors are
just as anxious as the people to
obtain good results from their
efforts. Thought should be CIV
en- carefully and objections well
weighed before acting to prevent
as far as possible mistakes, how
ever, some will be made. The
objection to bond issue where it
has been tried is the money
will be spent, the Indebtedness
of the county fixed and almost a
certainty some of the territory
of the county left unbeneftted.
1t is best to pay as you go. The
contract system will sooner or
later get you into trouble. You
viii simply pay too much or too
little for what you get. Let us
pay for what we get. Lowndes
county is peculiarly blessed with
material to make its roads. Our
road beds are susceptible of
being easily constructed with
road machines and rollers.
The lime rock in the prairie
makes fine bed for road, but
will nave to be covered to keep
the ali and water from disinte-
grafton. A little clay with
gravel will give a fine top dress
ing. The gravel can be obtained
from The gravel pits and from
the river beds by a traction en-
gine, and at a reasonable cost be
placed upon the roads.
Now the opinion Of the writer
is that the money can be best
obtained from a yearly tax
which should be paid by every
citizen and property owner in
the county. The city of Colum-
bus is greatly benefited by it's
agricultural surroundings and
should cheerfully pay the pro
rata road tax. Intelligent and
experienced white men in charge
of the road machine can be placed
upon this work under the su-
pervision of the county road COM
missioner, being a man of some
knowledge of civil engineering
and practical experience. With
this outfit it would not take all
of his time, and could be pro-
cured at the cost fixed by the
legislature of 5000 per year.
The State farms of Mississippi,
which is advertised so extensive
ly for its experiments, should be
abolished. The convicts of each
county having already been a
considerable cost to each indi-
vidual county should be kept in
its borders except those who are

to be in prison for a long term or
for life. Our county convict

TENT MEETING
MORE INTERESTING
GREAT WORK BEIH6 DONE BY THE MANY
MEMBERS OF THE BAPTIST
CHURCH
TENT MOVED To MAIN STREET

The First Baptist church
of our city for the last
fifty years has been a
beacon light, guiding the poor
lost seamen in sin to safety IN
the Ark of God, and how this
church has accomplished it's mis-
sion in the the past is known of
all men. This church has had
great leaders as pastors, such as
Teasdale, Taylor, Dobbs, Jones
and Miller and laymen such as
Lee, Moore and Halbert. Some
of these good men have passed
over the river to receive their re-
ward. This church during all
these years has gradually grown
in numbers and influence until it
has reached, we may say, its
majority or full age and is now
strong and. courageous and is
doing valiant work for the Mas
ter.
This church now has a young
active pastor, Bro. w. A. Hew-
lit, who is filled with the spirit
and consecrated to the service of
his Master, Jesus Christ. and has
fourteen deacons, all strong bus
mess men. who are in full SYM
pathy with the pastor and are
ready any time, at any place, to
give their means and time to the
work, and about seven hundred
members who are more or less
interested in the work.
To show how these people are
working we will state that in the
last two years they have built
one of the handsomest church
houses in the South at a cost of
approximately fifty thousand
dollars and we understand that
they only owe a small balance on
same, and in all this work there
has been no diminution in their
offerings to foreign or home
missions and there is a balance
in their poor fund to help the
poor in their church and city.
This great church is now hold
ing tent meeting conducted by
Bro. A. A. Walker of sHartsell.
Alabama. on the corner of 10th
and Main Sts., in order to reach
people who are Indifferent church
goers as we'll as to revive cold
church members and as a broth
er said recently to the writer,
to do something that we may
grow ourselves.
To show the influence and good
these tent meetings are doing,
we will say it was our pleasure
at one of the evening meetings
to see fifty-three men, women,
men, women, boys and girls go
to the altar and surrender. We
wish this church God speed in
their work.
