Would Columbia people recommend

they confirm their statements after

TWENTY CARS OF
MELONS SHIPPED IN
WEfKFROM cULlt0KA
ALL FORMER RECORDS SMASHED
AT THE BIG cANTELoUPE
SECTION.
Cars Are Bringing The Growers Be-
tween $500 and $500 so far as Heard
From IN Spite Of Quality Being a
Little on.

At the close of business tonight, the
Culleoka Produce company will have
shipped during the six days, nineteen
or twenty cars Of cantelOupes. Up
to Friday night the company had
shipped fifteen cars and planned to
close the week with shipments Of five
cars. However, it may be that only
four will be shipped, in which event
the total for the week will reach nine
teen car loads. At twenty cars this
means that over 10000 crates of the
melons have gone to market from Cul
leoka in the week, record never be-
fore made. Already the shipments,
with the season only two weeks only,
almost equal those Of the entire
season last year.
While the quality. because OF the
adverse season. Is not up to last year,
the returns so far received have been
good and will average more than so
cents per crate, or $4OO per car. One
car that reported this morning sold
for more than $500. If an average Of
$500 per car should be received the
shipments for the week would be
worth $4,000 or within a few thousands
OF the shipments for any season here
tofore.
No buster place in the county is to
be found than the Culleoka Produce
company. At one time this week
twenty wagons were standing around
waiting to be unloaded and the force
is working from early morning to late
ct night. Every melon is inspected
and then wrapped and packed and
then placed in refrigerator car. In
Ave car loads it is necessary to handle
and inspect, wrap and pack more than
10000 melons In addition, there are
thousands that are inspected only to
be rejected.

ESTIMATED AT MORE
THAN 1000.
GENUINE HOSPITALITY ABOUNDS
Inspiring And Eloquent Address BY
Hon Hardin p. Figuers ls the Fea-
ture, OF the Day-Pays Glowing
Tribute to Soldiers of South.

At conservative estimate not lesi
than 1000 people attended the Confed
crate reunion and basket dinner at thu
Culleoka School grounds on Friday. /
was one Of the largest crowds evel
known at that place. People came
from all parts of the Southern section
of the county, from Columbia, Mar
shah county, Giles county. Nashville
and other places. There were large
and small and old and young. Proba
bly, between rs and 100 of the rapidly
thinning line Of the heroes of the six
ties were present to renew acquain
lance and enjoy another reunion. They
were from Maury. Giles and Marshall
counties and from Nashville.
If anyone doubted the genuine hos
pitality of the people OF the Culleoka
section, or held to the opinion that II
was less pronounced now than in the
former days, of which one Is wont to
sigh, visit to the reunion on Friday
would have removed the doubt. There
was lavish abundance Of all the good
things to eat. Everything which a
prosperous country affords was there
in the greatest abundance and every
one, large and small, stranger or not.
was made welcome and forced to eat
of the best that the land affords. It
is estimated that there was enough to
have fed much larger crowd. much
being carried away.
The old soldiers genuinely enjoyed
the day; they had good time. Some
Of them are getting feeble and it cost
them some exertion to attend, but they
we're all heartily glad that they had
been there.
The feature of the day. was the beau
ti1ul ana eloquent address OF Hon. Har-
din P. Figuers, of the Columbia bar.
Mr.. Figuers paid glowing tribute to
the valor Of the Confederate soldiers.
He was boy during the stormy days
Of the war and as a boy was an eye
witness Of much of the great battle Of
Franklin and its scenes left a never
to be effaced impression upon his
mind. No man is more familiar with
the history of that titanic struggle
than Mr. Figuers and his address was
greatly enjoyed by the veterans and
the large crowd.
Another very delightful feature of
the day was the abundance of music
furnished by the Culleoka brass band.
This splendid organization is ever
ready to lend its aid to any public

Spare that Law

There seems to be some demand to re-
peal the "corrupc practice" law.
The demand is both premature and Tn
called for Like great many other laws,
it seems to lie enjoying a period CT torpidity.
A few petty grafters may have failed
to make connection, but We do not attribute
their bad luck to the rigcr Of this law.
This act constitutes ore Of the nest
stringent efforts to legisiate politicians ard
into the ways Of rectitude. It's provisions
We're intended to make virtuous and honest
both the "briber" and the "bribee."
And If it has failed to accomplish tLis
purpose we must not blame the law, but
must ascribe the trouble to human farilty,
for it seems shat humanity will not reform
until it gets good and ready.
But let Us keep the law on the statute
books. Some time in the distant future it
may come into use. Give the people little
mere time and they may evolute to the
moral requirement Of the law.
In the the meantime we may have q
little fun with the politicians who have
vacated their nominations by failing to
comply with its provisions.
For instance, how many have failed 20
file statements Of campaign expenses within
the time required by law, and have thus
forfeited their nominations? There must
be hundreds over the state.
How many nominations have been fol-
feited by failure to live up to the law? An
swer one at time.
Laws Of this character are worthless and
the wonton disregard of then provisions does
bring into disrespect the whole system OF
government. Bat so far the laws seems to
have given no concern to anybody.
If it is dead, why disinter it, by at.
tempting to repeali it?

Villas Nfiack on Columbus

Francisco Villa with band of about
1900 followers invaded United States terri
tory Wednesday, when an attack was made
On the town Of Columbus New Mexico.
Seven United States troopers were killed
besides several citizens, including two
women.
The troop followed the bandits across
the border and reports are to the effect that
more than 100 MeXicans were killed and as
many wounded.
The attack seems to be consummation
of the threat recently made by Villa that he
would take steps to force the United States
to intervene. It is not probable that the
fact of U. S. troops crossing the border will
arouse any great amount of feeling against
this government in Mexico-the result de-
sired by Villa. Nor is it probable that his
forces will be recruited on account the action
Of the troopers.

One of the,large powder plants recently

One Of thelarge powder plants recently
declared a dividend Of about 20 re: cent.
This was for six months, but the payment
was made in war bonds CT one of the belli-
gerents. The next trouble that we may
expect will be that some Of our big finan-
ciers will wake up some fine day and dis
cover that they have on hand a lot Of worth
less bonds. The enormous debts now being
piled Up in Europe will never be paid. The
business man OF this country who gets loaded
with European securities is pretty apt to
suffer loss. If the munision plants are
getting their profits in war bonds there is
nothing strange in the size of the paper
profits that they are making. Now is good
time to put your money in American dirt and
American securities. It may not pay such
large profits, but it is much safer.

americans on Foreign Vessels

A late dispatch from Washington says;
despite the perils Of submarine
warfare 400, coo persons crossed the At
lantic between American and European
ports as passengers last year. Figures
assembled today in the bureau of navi-
cation show that 100000 Of them
travelled On vessels owned by the belli-
gerents Onehundred and fifty thousand
took passage on neutral ships.
Slightly more than half the Allan
tic travellers were eastbUund. and Italian
ships carried more than vessels Of any
other nation. Only $500 Of the pas
sengers travelled first class. Two hun
dred and seventy thousand went in the
Storage"
The report is silent as to the number Of
these travellers who made the trip out Of
curiosity or for pleasure. It is certain that
but few of them could have made the voyage
for business.
Every passenger on belhgerent vesse
furnishes an opportunity to involve this
country in the European war. Would it be
wrong to place some restriction on this
travel?
