ON TO NASHVILLE.

Columbians continue to show much inter-
est in the meeting of the Jackson Highway AS
soeiation, which is to be held in Nashville next
Thursday and Friday, and every citizen who
can possibly do 50 should take time and join
the fifty local boosters who will leave here
next Wednesday morning in a special car, and
20 TO boost the national highway through this
city.
The highway would mean much to Missis-
sippi and by all means should be routed on
the old military road which runs through this
county. The delegation from this state will
fight the proposition to divert the road by Bir-
mngham and Montgomery.
Senator John Sharp Williams writes that
he cannot attend, but says; What your COM
mittee proposes to do is eminently right II
there is going to be Jackson Military High
way from Nashville to New Orleans, it ought
to be the Andrew Jackson Highway. Of
course it is open to argument whether that OF
some other route would be the most useful
highway, but il is not open to argument that II
isn't right and square TO take advantage OF tht
historical memory and the associations tina
cluster around "Old Hckory's" trip to New
Orleans, and then after having gotten thu
money and the aid on that ground, to conver
the scheme into something else. Nothing, by
the way, in the United States is more worthy Of
commemoration than the ever memorial march

OPENING OF THE !. I. q c.

II gives US thrill Of JOY to realize that
the Industrial Institute and College opens this
week
Columbus welcomes alike the new and the
old girls. and extends hearty greeting to
each member of the faculty, who come with
their culture and charm to impart new thought
and IDEAS after months Of study and recrea-
ton
The college is broader and better each
wear 1t is doing great work for the future
citizenship of the state in preparing them for
lives Of usefulness whether it be in the liter
ary field. in the school room or the important
position of home making.
Indeed. through this great institution, so
eapably managed by President Whitfield and
his able assistants, Mississippi has college
that would honor any state.
Girls who come here are fortunate in hav-
ii.g the gates of opportunity swing so wide fof
them and they should enter upon their WORK
with more vigor and determination than they
have ever done.
Here's hoping that this will be the hap
piest and most profitable year in the history OF
the institution.

There Is popular confusion with re-
spect to the presence of armed con-
voys converting a merchantman into
warship, yet the subject is entirely
simple. The conveying of merchant
ship by ship OF war thereby gives to
that ship armed defense and offense
as well II ii chooses to use the latter.
So that ship having such convoy
does, In fact. become rated as war
ship. This character obtains, however,
only 80 long as 1t il being conveyed,
for the moment the convoy leaves the
merchant ship that moment 1t loses Its
armed character and relapses into the
character OF an unarmed craft. Other
wise the fact that merchantman had
accepted convoy during part Of cruise
would make it during the continuance
OF the war warship. Neither inter
national law nor common sense sup
ports the view that ship that has
been conveyed through part Of Its
course Is thereby made wership for
its entire cruise.

FEATHER IN sULLEN'S CAP.

Mr. Frederick Sullens, editor of the jack
son Daily News, has demonstrated what ener-
gy and pluck can do in the newspaper world.
In recent special edition pictures of the
new home equipment, staff and office force Of
the Daily News were given, and would do
credit to any State
Mr. Sulens has been in charge of this
paper about fifteen years, and during that time
it has grown to be the largest and most gener-
ally read newspaper in this state.
Mr. Sullens has labored faithfully to pro-
mote Mississippis interests and especially to
purify politics. Here's hoping that his success
may be unlimited.

WALTER MALONE.

The following poetry, written by
DR.. ]. w. Lipscomb, of this city to
the memory Of the late Walter Ma
lone, appearing in Thursdays News
Scimitar, will be read with interest
by Columbus people
Back to the God that gave thee
birth
Thy spirit soul has wended.
Back from this war trod, seusuous
earth,
Thy beauteous life transcribed.
So long as God did give thee voice
Thy verse rang true and splendid
Up to the throne where all rejoice,
Thy heavenly song ascended.
Carnage, and war, and strife, and
blood
By thee were ne'er defended;
Thy gentle spirit chose the good
To crown thy life most splendid.
We miss thee now, since thou hast
gone;
Our hearts indeed are rended.
Thy soul on angels wings is bourne; /;
With kindred saints It's blended.
Farewell, and may thy spirit rest
From earthly cares suspended,
And may thy song, still at it's best
Join angel choirs resplended.

HIGHWAY SHOULD COME
THROUGH THIS STATE

Jackson, Miss, Sept. l7.-Con-
siderable discu, on is going on in
reference to the route to be fol-
lowed in the building of the Jackson
Highway by the Jackson Highway
Association at Nashville, Tenn,
which is to hold convention in
that city September 1924.
Three controlling factors enter
into influencing national highways
THE route to be adopted
should be through that section Of
the country most devoted to agri-
cultural pursuits, as national high
ways and good roads are purely an
agricultural form of transporta-
ton, and this strong argument for
the road to run through the entire
length Of the state of Mississippi,
as Mississippi is almost entirely de-
voted to agricultural pursuits, while
the suggested route through Alabama
would include sections almost void
Of agricultural pursuits, as it is 9
mining state devoted to the manu-
ufacture ofsgarious industries.
2.--The shortest route from tbs
two objective points should be fay
orably considered and this also gives
the route from north to south
through Mississippi to New Orleans
3.-The most economical rout'
with references to grades and cheaI
materials along the right of way
BY reviewing the Typographical
map from Nashville to New Orlean
comparatively q level route may b.
maintained through the state OF Mis-
sissippi and our geological surve!
of the state shows that lying within
her borders from east to ives
throughout and all through the cen
trail portion as also the southern
through her entire breadth ther
are the greatest deposits of grave
beds of the finest materials in tn
world, as has already been demon
strated by its use in the construc
ton of nearly one hundred thousan
miles of gravel road within the las
five or six years. This geologics
report conclsdes with the followin
language:
"As road-making material thes
deposits are unexcelled and of in
calculable value to the state. The
have been largely developed
The United States governmen
has confirmed these reports on thes
deposits.
Naturally the route throug
Alabama would be rough, rugged an
mountainous, sharp curves, exten
sive bridges, deep cuts and hig
grades to overcome. First and las
to be considered by the state 0
Louisiana and the city of New Or
leans. and the state Of Tennessee
and the city of Memphis, should b
the commercial advantages tina
this Mississippi route would give t.
each of these states, and that Mis-
sissipp is an ally of each of thes
states, drawing almost entirely he
merchandise and commerce through
either the city Of Memphis or tn
city of New Orleans. And while
the city of Birmingham become
competitor with both the city o
New Orleans and the city of Mem
phis and the states of Tennessee an'
Louisiana.
II is believed that with this view
both Tennessee and Louisiana car
easily maintain their position TO
the Mississippi routes without an!
| strong opposition.
II is suggested that the three
states at interest, Tennessee, Louis
lana and Mississippi, have their re
spective governors Immediately ap
point delegation to attend thu
convention at Nashville on Septem
ber 23-24.
