LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
is VERY RAPIDLY CROWNS
Two New Establishments Now in
Course Of Erection Near N.
and o. Depot

Columbus is rapidly growing
as a wholesale market. and the
center Of this trade seems to be
concentrated around the Mobile
and 0hio depot, in which section
there is a continual air of hustle
and prosperity.
Messrs. J. l.. Walker & Co. and
G. C. Richardson & Co. are both
erecting large and commodious
structures to accommodate their
ever increasing trade. and these,
together with the handsome es-
tablishment of MIR. t. ]. Locke,
Jr., make the neighborhood
around the M. and o. depot COM
pare favorbly with wholesale dis
tricts in many cities much larger
than Columbus.
Mr.. Walker has been in
business for a number of years,
and has always been progressive,
while Messrs. Locke and Richard
son, who represent the younger
generation of merchants, have
both made progress their watch.
word. The large trade enjoyed
by both these gentlemen has been
built up not only by industry but
by applying modern methods to
the buying and selling of goods.
and they have just cause to be
proud of what they have accom-
plished.

Session Which Concluded Fri
day was Perhaps the Brief
est Ever Held Here.
LASTED ONLY FIVE DAYS
Grand Jury Also Held Short Ses-
sion, Having Returned Only
Eighteen True Bills.

After the shortest session held
here in many years, the Septem-
ber term of circuit court adjoun-
ed Friday. The term lasted only
five days, and the oldest officials
at the court house can not re-
member so brief a session.
There were few cases on eth
er the criminal or State docket,
and some Of these had to be con-
tinued. The cases that did go to
trial were mostly Of an unimpor-
tant nature, and were quickly
disposed of.
The grand jury also adjourned
Friday after a brief session dur
ing which the inquisitoriai body
examined 136 witness and return
ed 18 true bills.
Judge Carroll charged the
grand jury to inquire particularly
into gambling, which he said
had been reported to him as be-
ing freely INDUCED in here, and
the members of the body state in
their report that they made dill.
gent inquisition into this matter,
but could not locate any violation
of the gaming laws. They state
that gambling may or may not
be practiced in Columbus. but af-
firm their inability to secure suffi-
cient evidence on which to pre-
dicate indictments.
Regarding the inquiry which
they made into the somewhat
mysterious disappearance Of Matt
Brown, negro who was last
Sunday taken to the Jail for safe
keeping, the members of the in
quisitorial body declare the state
ments of county and city officials
to be go conflicting that it is
impossible to form a definite con-
clusion in the mat ter. They re-
commend, however, that the
sheriff instruct the jailer to exer-
else greater diligence in looking
after the safekeeping of prison
ers intrusted to his care.
The report states that the
books of the county officers were
examined and found correct.
The jury declares the Jail and
county farm TO be well kept and
the report closes by thanking
Judge Carroll. District Attorney
Brooks and Circuit Clerk Gunter
for courtesies extended.

cipal for several years. resigned

theology with view of entering
the ministry, and is to be sue

College will open on Tuesday,
September 20. In this institution,
as in the public schools, there
have been quite a number of fac
ulty changes. several teachers
having resigned and others hav-
ing been given temper ary leaves
of absence to pursue their stud
les at higher institutions of learn
ing.
Both the public schools and the
Industrial Institute and College

The hearing lasted two and
one-half hours, and the engineers
seemed very favorbly impressed

asked numerous questions not
only about prospective commerce
but concerning the installation OF

handling this commerce. Col.
