GOOD SHOWS FOR
COMING SEASON
At THE COLUMBUS THEATRE
THE BOOKINGS FOR THE LOCAL PLAY
HOUSE ARE PLENTIFUL AND UAUSU-
ALLY CLASSY SHOWS

The coming theatrical season
will be one which will reflect
credit upon Columbus. from an
amusement standpoint. The
bookings for the local playhouse,
according to Manager Newly.
are plentiful and unusually
classy shows. Many Of the top
liners will appear at the Colum-
bus Theatre during the winter
months. 1t is considered unsat-
isfactory to both patrons and the
manager of a theatre to give
bookings ahead of time for there
never fails to be several changes.
some cancellations and other ex-
cellent attractions added to any
tentative list. Manager Newly
promises his house will open
early. He has remained with
Messrs. Klaw q Erlanger, the
so-called Theatrical trust. " be-
cause those New York represen-
tatives have proven to him they
were better able to arrange dates
and worthy attractions than any
one else who opposes them.
These gentlemen have rewarded
him for his fidelity in substan-
tial style by sending some Of
their biggest attractions to Co
lumbus and they also hold strong
promises for more to follow.
OF course there is an unusual
amount of gossip about 'the OPP
position" sending the best
shows, etc., ETC., but Klaw &
Erlanger will give Columbus
bigger and better shows than
ever before. They offered the
best business proposition and
for that reason their representa-
tion was secured for the coming
season.

COUNTESS INFERRED
HERE LAST MONDAY
WAS REARED IN COLUMBUS
COUNTESS Won VAYER EHREhBURG
DIED WITH MALARlAL FEVER IN
MEMPHIS SATURDAY

The remains of Countess Won
Vayer Ehrenberg who died in
Memphis last Saturday and was
brought to Columbus Sunday
night were taken to the home of
Miss Mary Harrison, on North
7th street where the funeral was
held Monday morning at 10
o'clock, conducted by Rev. w.
A. Hewitt, pastor of the First

tenderly laid to rest in Friend
ship cemetery. The pail bearers
were Messrs. Walter Weaver,
S. B. Johnston, d. d. Richards,
P. Fl. Wakefield, w. B. Harring-
ton and E. r. Hopkins.
The deceased is pleasantly re-
membered here as Miss Lilly Lee
Woodbridge. the only daughter
of Mrs. M. B. Portwood, and a
niece of the late Thomas G.
Blewett. She was reared in Co
lumbus, and considered one of
the most beautiful and charm
ing women that ever resided
here. She married Count Ehren-
berg when quite a young woman
and resided in Germany until
about z years ago, when she
came home to be with her moth
er who was in failing health.
Mrs. Portwood's health however
had been restored and they were
contemplating returning to Ger
many, when the deceased was
stricken with malarial fever and
died in about nine days. She
received every medical attention
that the physicians in Memphis
could give.
The husband and mother have
the genuine sympathy of wide
circle of friends.

HOOPER NAMED FOR GOVERNOR

Nashville, Tenn, August TO-
Captain Benjamin w. Hooper, of
Newport, was nominated for gov
ernor of Tennessee by the repub-
lican convention.
Alf. Taylor, brother of United
States Senator Robert l.. Taylor,
was the only other name presented.
Hooper led Taylor 180 votes.
The nomination was made unan-
imous.
B. A. Enlee, an independent,
was endorsed for railroad COM
missioner.
The independent democrats who
have fought bitterly Gov. Patter-
son, the democratic nominee for
reelection, are expected to sup
port the republican ticket and the
campaign promises to be heated.
The platform adopted endorses
the present prohibition laws,
praises the Taft administration and
condemns Patterson's use of the
pardoning power.
With a whirlwind campaign,
united party and the backing of
the administration, the support of
the Independent democrats, the
republicans predict they will
sweep Tennessee into the republi-
can column.
Hooper is 80 years old, a for
mer member of the state legisIa-
ture, former assistant u. S. dis
trict attorney and served as cap
tain of a Tennessee company in
the war with Spain.
He declared he was the candi-
date of no clique and stood
squarely on the platform.
His nomination marked a big
demonstration.

FAIR VISITORS
MAY SEE AIRSHIP
AVIATOR LESTER NOW HERE
FEATURE EXPECTED TO DRAM TH0US.
AHDs---UP TO PEOPLE or C0LUA-
BUS TO SUBSCRIBE

An air ship feature for the an
nual fair to be given here in Oc-
tober by the Mississippi and
West Alabama Fair Association
is the hope Of the management,
and with the assistance of the
business men of the town it will
be provided. Mr.. William A.
Lester representing the Stroebel
Airship Co., of Toledo. Ohio, is
here to make a contract for
flights from the fair grounds,
one over the central portion of
Columbus. Mr.. Lester is an
aviator, it is said, of considerable
reputation.
For the flights he demands
81. 500, none of which is to be
paid until the flights are actually
made.
To secure this sum it is neces-
sary for the directors of the as
sociation to seek contributions
from the business men.
This morning J. r Randle,
secretary. with Mr.. Lester will
begin a canvass to raise the
requisite amount of money.
Twenty-Five $40, fifty $5, one
hundred $3.50, and two hundred
and fifty 81 subscriptions will do
the trick.
The fair association believes
that this attraction will attract
more people to the fair perhaps
more than any other. With a
reduced rate from the railroads
it is expected to bring vastly
more visitors from North Missis-
sippi and West Alabama than
has ever before attended the an
nual event.

PERCY ADDRESSED
NOXUBEE CITIZENS
IN MACON LAST MONDAY
CAPTURES CROWD BY HIS GREAT SPEECH
WHICH WAS THE BEST EVER DELlY-
Erred THERE

Macon, Miss, Aug. ID. Before
one of the largest audiences of
white people ever gathered in
Macon, Senator Leroy Percy adj
dressed the Democrats of Noxu-
bee county this morning. He
held his audience to a man dur
ing the hour and a half he spoke
and the telling points of his
speech were literally applauded.
He is in no doubt that he greatly
strengthened his cause here.
There were fully $50 voters
present, and many ladies.
Clear, clean-cut and logical,
rising at times to high degree
of eloquence, it is the general
opinion that Senator Percy's
speech was one of the best ever
made here and one of the best
received. The Vardaman sup
porters in the audience gave the
speech close attention and show
ed Mr.. Percy the greatest court
esy, the only cheers for his op-
ponent being given in the general
cheering at the close of the
speech.
MNoxubee county's vote in 1907
was 675 for Williams, against 318
for Vardaman. The possible
gains for the latter due to any
disapproval of the caucus were
largely wiped out by this speech.
There are many men this
county who have been given
distaste for the whole campaign
by the unpleasant factors in the
situation. This state of feeling
was dissipated to great extent
by Senator Percy's appearance
and manner, as well as by his
speech. 1t suited spendidiy the
temper of our people.
Senator Percy spoke along the
lines of his speeches in other
places. His career in politics
and at the bar and his election as
Senator were touched upon.
The caucus was justified and his
record in Washington reviewed.
National political questions and
the Southern attitude toward
them were discussed. Certain
charges made in the Issue were
noticed and commented on with
humor and sarcasm. Senator
Percy was introduced by State
Senator Price. Judge Carroll
adjourned court for two hours
for the speaking, which was in
the court room. Clarion Ledger.

Roosevelt Turned Down.

New York, Aug. 16.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt matched strength
with the "Old Guard" of the re-
publican party in New York
state today and met decisive de-
feat.
The republican state commit
tee, in session here, by a vote of
20 to Is refused to recommend
him for temporary chairman of
the state convention. which will
meet at Saratoga Sept. q. In
stead Vice President James S.
Sherman was selected.
This is Colonel Roosevelt's Sec
ond defeat at the hands of the
''Old Guard" the first having
been the legislatures refusal to
pass the Cobb direct primary
bill, although Mr.. Roosevelt es-
pecially indorsed it. With his
setback today, plans for harmony
within the party in the state re-
ceived a severe setback and as
soon as Colonel Roosevelt heard
the news he issued a statement
in which he enrolled himself as a
progressive so far as the New
York state situation goes.

LARGE REAL ESTATE DEAL

One of the largest real estate
deals that has been consumated
for long while in this section of
the country was closed last week,
Mr.. Nj. McQuillan of Nebraska,
being the purchaser. The prop
erty consisted of about 5000
acres Of prairie land in Hale
county. Ala, on the Black War
rior river.
Mr.. McQuillan has been here
for several months and has
made careful inspection of a
great many tracts. He has been
a successful farmer in Nebraska
and will move to Hale county
with his family and establish one
of the largest alfalfa and stock
farms in the south. Mr.. Nc
Quillan would have preferred to
locate around Columbus. but
could not find any tract suitable
or large enough for his purpose.
The price is not made public,
but it is known that desirable
prairie land in that section is
held from $40 to $50 an acre.
The deal was effected through
the Adams Realty Company who
have closed several other sales in
that section recently.

ATHLETIC MEEHNG TONIGHT.

AnSAC 40 tC N<~0be OuL WLidL Tie
Columbus Athletic Association is
a sure thing. Several weeks ago
about fifteen enthusiastic young
men of the city held a private
meeting and discussed matters
pertaining to an athletic club in
Columbus. and decided to use
every effort towards getting the
citizens interested. For many
years the older people of the city
have been trying to organize a
Y. M. C. A., but all of their
plans have. failed. However
the younger men are de-
determined to make a success of
their undertaking. Several call
meetings have been held at the
city hall lately and nearly two
hundred men have pledged them
selves towards supporting an as
sociation of this kind.
At another meeting held last
Monday night a representative
crowd of men were present.
The purpose of this meeting was
to hear the reports of the build
ing and membership committees.
It has been quite a proposition
for the building committee to
find place suitable for a gym
nasium to be located in the
central portion of the city, but
on Monday night they stated
that they had interviewed Mr..
c. F. Sherrod, who owns the old
McQuown property located on
the corner of College and 9th
streets, in regard to letting them
have the second and third stories
of that building as an athletic
hall. Mr.. Sherrod who is in
every way ready to aid the CO.
lumbus boys toward supporting
an athletic association, was much
in favor of the terms that the
committee put before him and
promised if they decided to rent
his place that he would remodel
it in every way.
The membership committee
was next heard from, and made
a very favorable report, stating
that about sixty men had been
added to their list during the
past week.
A motion was put before the
house that the temporary chair
man, Mr.. Charley Hopkins. ap-
point a committee of three to
draw up the constitution and by
laws for the new organization,
and after the motion was second
ed, Messrs. Charles Garnett,
Frank Harris and w. v. Frier-
son, Jr., were appointed. Mr..
Garnett having been made chair
man.
Before adjournment was taken
a meeting was called to be held
tonight at the city hall at $3.50
o'clock for the purpose of elect
ing directors. 1t is hoped that
at least one hundred citizens will
be present.
