Quite a number of enthusiastic
automobilist of this city were
in Corinth Friday to witness the
passing of the Glidden Tourist.
Five crowded automobiles left
Columbus Wednesday afternoon

The hardest run of any tour
ever made was that of Friday
through the cypress swamps of
Northern Alabama and Mississip-
pi and Southwestern Tennessee.
Mud hub deep was experienced
in the run, and at 9:30 Friday
morning only one car had ar
rived in Corinth from Sheffield,
Ala, where the gliddenites spent
Thursday night. on time. That
was No. l Premier, driven by
Ray F. McNawara, and only by
desperate driving was he able to
get in with 2 minutes to spare,
The first Chalmers pilot car
which started three hours ahead
and the Columbia Pace-maker
which had one hour advantage,
were only five minutes ahead of
the contestant. The Glide came
second about ten minutes late,
and Cino third. About fifty
machines are in the tour.

PROPOSITION ACCEPTED BY
COLUMBUS BUSINESS MEN
Meeting of Citizens Held Wednesday Evening TO Consider
Freight Rate Offer Of M. R. Transportation Co.

What Columbus has been striv-
ing for the past twenty years
has finally come to pass. A
proposition was made to the peo-
pie of Columbus at a public
meeting held at the city hall on
Wednesday night. This meeting
was attended by all the repre-
sentative business men of Co
lumbus. 1t was one of the larg-
est business gatherings that has
been held in this community in a
long time
Mr.. w. II. Moser, represent
ing the Mississippi River Trans
portation Company was the
speaker. He presented creden-
tials of banks, trust companies
and leading business men
throughout the country endors-
ing the responsibility of this
company. He represented that
the Mississippi River Trans
portation Company was organ
lied with capital stock of S10,-
100000. It's business would be
to handle freight from ST Louis
all along the Mississippi river
and important points in the con-
tiguous territory; also from New
York. A line of steamers would
be put into operation at once to
handle all the freight which may
be offered. The proposition
which he made to Columbus was
that this company would deliver
all freight to Columbus except
ing local freight, at the same
rates now being enjoyed by Bir-
mingham and Meridian. This
is the very thing that Columbus
has spent a gre t deal of money
and energy in trying to bring
about for a number of years. 1t
is what has been the means of
Withholding and stunting the
progress of Columbus. While it
is true that there are two rail-
roads entering into Columbus, it
is also generally known that both
of these railroads belong to one
concern and that as a matter of
fact there is no competition be-
tween them. For some reason
it has never been satisfactorily
explained why there was a dis
elimination of freight rates
against Columbus for a number
of years. Despite all efforts to
have these rates reduced to
reasonable sum and on the par
with other competing points, Co
lumbus has never succeeded in
doing so. The only hope that
the business men had of any
prospect of reduction of freight
rates was the coming in of an
independent railroad which
would create competition in freight
rates thereby giving a reduction
in these rates to the merchants
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1910-06-19
and manufacturers.

and manufacturers.
The proposition which is now
offered by the Mississippi Trans
portation Company solves the
problem and the business men
lost no time in accepting the
proposition made by Mr.. Moser
on behalf of his companyi The
only condition which he made
was that Columbus would sub
scribe to SIS, 900 of the capital
stock of the company This the
business men pledged themselves
in the opening meeting to do and
number of subscriptions were
made public, which indicated
the spirit of the business men
and an anxiety to carry out the
proposition. The terms of the
subscriptions are 80 per cent.
cash and the balance in install
ments covering a period of Is
months. The contract was to
be made and approved by the at
torney for the business men and
it is understood that the sub
scriptions are rapidly being made
to cover the full amount called
for. 1t provides that freights
will be delivered on schedule
time and on the par with Merid-
ian and Birmingham; also the
money paid on subscriptions
would be refunded if the agree
ment is not complied with.
The business men throughout
Columbus expressed themselves
jubilantly over the prospect of
reducing these freight rates so
that they will be enabled to COM
pete with Meridian and Birm-
ingham. 1t means the begin
ming of a new era in the history
of Columbus. 1t means the
opening of factories and new in
dustries in Columbus. 1t means
the foundation for big city
combining it with all the natural
advantages Columbus enjoys.
1t was lucky day for Columbus
when Mr.. Moser. representing
the Mississippi Transportation
Company entered this field.

PROF. JOE COOK
IS SUGGESTED
FOR PRESIDENT OF MILLSApS
Mr.. N. i.AN6USTUS or DURAkT, WRITES
JACKSON DAILY NEWS HAMIkG MR..
JOE COOK


Durant, Miss. June Is, 1910.
Editor Daily News: The cleo
tion of DR.. w. E. Murrah to the
episcopacy raises question of
great interest to the Methodists
of Mississippi, for it now be-
comes necessary to elect a presi-
dent for Millsaps College.
/ wish to nominate for the place
Professor Joe Cook, now princi-
pal of the public school of Co
lumbus, Miss. | make the nomi-
nation upon the following
grounds:
1. Mr.. Cook is a loyal, liberal
and devout member of the Meth
odist church.
2. Mr.. Cook is a layman and
therefore has a distinct advant-
age over clerical president, be-
cause there is a barrier between
the clergymen and the average
man or boy, which though unde-
Unable, yet must be overcome in
the quest for patronage which
with rivalry now on in the school
world is a matter to be gravely
considered.
3. Mr.. Cook is well educated,
we'll informed, cultured, with
full endowment Of literary infor-
nation and refined scholarly
tastes.
A. He is a man of great ener-
gy and industry.
5. He is likewise a man of
great initiative who can not only
carry out but originate methods.
6. He is an attractive and
magnetic man who attaches
boys and men to himself.
z. He is a man of practical
sense. being the successful head
of the public school system of
one of our most important cities,
a successful planter and the head
of successful bank.
8. He is a forcible man, pos
sessed of influence in his church
and in the school and political
life of his community.
9. He is a versatile man who
could adapt himself to the va
rious duties of a college presi-
dent.
10. He has had the practical
sense to build up fine income
and would go TO the Millsaps at a
pecuniary sacrifice. Colleges are
more and more becoming finan-
cial institutions and more need
financial men in their manage
ment.
IL. Along with his practical
nature Mr.. Cook has a highly de-
veloped ideal side and he would
have within a very high staE-
dard towards which to strive in
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1910-06-19
his educational and administra-
tive work.

his educational and administers
tive work.
IL. Mr.. Cook has a charming
wife and interesting children
and his home life is a reflection
of the amiability and capacity of
the man.
13. Mr.. Cook has a most ex-
tensive acquaintance with the
teachers of the state. Through
our country teachers he would
be in close contact with the
country boys who must furnish
the chief source of patronry for
Millsaps. 1t would take a man
outside of our public school cir
cles a long time to acquire this
advantage.
IA. Last and chiefly with all
the congenlality of his manner,
he is of a most reverent and re-
ligious nature.
Is. | make these statements
after an intimate acquaintance
of fifteen years. Mr.. Cook
would make a great and phenom-
email college president.
Yours truly,
N. G.. AUGUSTUS.
