Flour Mile at Colunrb ~.

Two big flour mills will probably
be running in this city within the
next few months, and both enter.
prises are to be operated on a
large scale.
The Independent Oil and Fertil.
izer Works is nearing the compile,
ton of a large building to be used
as a flour mill, which will have a
capacity of more than % barrels q
day. Mr.. M. R. Mitchell, of Jack
son, was in this city recently and
took an order for the machinery
to be used for this new enterprise.
which promises to be the first to
be established in Mississippi.
Messrs. Cheatham and Son are
making preparations to have their
big flour mill east of Columbus
ready for operation early in the
summer. Their building will be
one of the largest in the south and
they expect to grind and bolt IS
barrels of flour a day. In connec.
ton with this undertaking, Mr..
Robert Cheatham states that he
and his father will start a large
grist mill and will be able to han.

Several months ago the local
Chamber of Commerce persuaded
the farmers to plant wheat with
the understanding that a mill
would be erected here. and the

Ajax Vardamdn.

The other day in the United
States senate, Senator Varda-
man made a bitter speech against
caucuses in general, and referred
at length to the famous 1910 sec.
ret caucus Of the Mississippi leg.
islature. He spoke bitterly and
in unmeasured terms.
Most sensible people in Missis-
sippi have agreed to disagree
about that caucus and let it go at
that. John Sharp Williams was
not entangled in its meshes and
like the sensible and Just man he
is he has had nothing to say
about it.
But when it is aired in the nat
ional senate and spoken of as the
boldest and foulest spot in Miss
issippi history, not only are the
bars let down for Mr.. Williams
to refute the SANDER on the state
but it may be deemed imperative
that he defend the state and
those friends of his who were
members of that caucus. Mr..
Williams literally flayed his col
legue a few months ago when in
an interview Vardaman harshly
criticised the Democratic Presi-
dent. No man is a greater mas
ter of satire and sarcasm than
Mr.. Williams and there is plenty
of food for that sort of powder
in the revelations Of this secret
caucus and subsequent investi-
cations.
1t may be that Senator Will
liams may think that in the pres
ent crisis there is no time to bring
forward Mississippi politics. But
it is very possible that like Ajax
of old Vardaman has defed the
lighting.
There is a man buried out in
Wyoming and on his tombstone
is inscribed his name and date of
death and He whistled for the

The story ofthe creation of the

All of which goes to prove that
just because a man occupies a seat

he is the possessor of brains.

The Shipping Bin and T0 Foos.

In & copy Of the Times-P icay-
me before US, under big head
lines, "Vardaman Ready to Aban-
don His Ship Bill Stand" we
find him posing as the Sir Oracle
of his party and saying in one of
his irrepressible interviews-in-
terviews which are ever more
distinguished for maleyolent crit
icism and fault-fnding spirit than
for parliamentary decency and
sound sense-th the following;
For a general rule limit
ing debate | would vote with
pleasure even if it should re-
suit in the passage of this
dangerous measure, the
shipping bill.
Il have no hope. however,
that the standpat Democrats
who now are tearing their
shirts in an effort to do their
masters bidding, will vote
for a cloture rule even to pass
the shipping bill. The SUD-
port of this bill has been on
their lips but not in their
hearts,"
1t is easier to pass over and ig'
more the undlgnifed slangy ex'
preston tearing their shirts
he uses when referring to those
of his brother Democrats whc
differ from him as to the wisdom
of passing the shipping bill, thar
it is to condone the impudent
asinine language he employs a
to them when he refers to tn
President as their master
whose bidding they are cage.
to do"-and thus indirectly ant
hagitiously charges them witt
unmanliness and insincerity il
their support Of the bill.
Again, in the same paper, il
another interview, when speak
ing of the seamen's bill, he says
The bill is not as favora-
BILE to the seamen as | wish
it we're, but it is a great step
forward in the interest of
the mistreated tar. Sailors
Of the United States will be
benefited particularly, yet
great benefits will come to
all sailors who come to our
ports.",
If he had but stopped there, n
serious objection might have bee
made to the sentiments he ex
pressed. AZ
But, No; he must needs add:
This bill! is one of the 4sw
laws enacted by Congress
wherein the rights of the toll
ing many are respected as
against the interests of the
rich few"
The addition is not only super
fuous and an ungenerous and ur
just fling at the action of tn
President and the party majorit
and direct wanton insult to ther
and those who have acted wit
them in securing the passage G
the excellent statutes enacted b
this Congress, but it is an on,
rageous reflection upon the pal
riotism of intent and purpose G
the majority of the party
which Vardaman claims to b.
i, long, but for which he really ha
no sympathy and from which h
deserves no more considerable
than does the wolf wearing tn
9 sleeps hide or an ass masqu,
. rading in a lions skin.
, Little he cares for the toilin
masses except for their votes i
the Democratic primaries and a
his actions are shaped to thu
e%nd-more's the pity.

WINTER TRAINING CAMP

Jacksonville, Nov. 9-An effort is
now being made to establish winter
military training camp near this city

the opinion that Jacksonville was the
logical location for such a camp.
Mr.. Mann instructed Secretary

yantages which could be had by To-
eating such a camp at the state
camp grounds and offered to assist

Papers by Judge Sheppard in the
United States court yesterday morn
ing, but not until each of the pros
pective citizens had been closely
questioned by the court, who i'm
pressed upon each that he was re-
nouncing allegiance to former rulers
and swearing to uphold the honor
and integrity of the United States.
The court said that hyphenated
Americans are not desired, but true
Americans only. The matter of the
hyphenated American had been
brought very strongly before The
public since the commencement of
the European war, and the court
said that some of those who boast of
the hyphen had made statements
that they would fight for the United
States provided the country was
right, but would not otherwise.
Judge Sheppard said this was mat
ter for the government to decide
alone and that the individual is ex-
pected to support his government.

London, Nov. 9-Two-thirds of
Serbia is controlled by Germany and
her allies, and within two weeks
they will probably be operating the
railroad through from Belgrade and
Nish. This will give them two
routes to Constantinople. Commun-
is already open. Other fronts were
weakened to accomplish this accord
ing to indications.
There Is definite news of Rus
sian advance on the Riga-Dvinsk
front, the last portion of the eastern
front on which the invaders kept
anything like a definite offensive.
Thus far the Germanic plans in
the Balkans have worked smoothly.
The latest news from Macedonia,
however. indicates that the initiative
viii not be entirely in the invaders
bands much lonter. Reports via
making their presence felt against
the Bulgarians. It Is reported that
the Serbians, holding part of the
Macedonia front, have checked the
Bulgarians, after inflicting heavy
losses. If the Serbians can sustain
the attack for a short period the
French should be able to join them
south of Veles.
The Russians continue their policy
of sharp, unexpected attacks at var
iols points along their front. The
latest consisted of three successful
assaults southwest of Riga, two
southwest of Dvinsk and three west
of Styr and south of the Pripet
marshes, where the TeutOnic line
was broken in two places.
Except artillery cxchan .es on the
western front, there is nothing i'm
portant.
