HENRY FORD SUES TRIBUNE
FOR 100000 DAMAGES
AUTOMOBILE MAKER CLAIMS
THAT EDITORIAL BROUGHT
DISGRACE.

Chicago, Sept. Suit for 81 900
600 was filed by Henry Ford, the De-
troit manufacturer, against the Chica-
go Tribune in the United States dis
trict court here Thursday. Mr.. Ford
asks for personal damages as COM
pensation for an editorial printed in
the Tribune June 23, which it is
charged, called Ford "an anarchist"
The bill charges "that the Tribune
sought to bring the plaintiff into pub
lie hatred, contempt, ridicule and fl
nancial injury" by publishing the ed
itorial.
The editorial, it is charged, refer
red to Mr.. Ford as " ignorant; de-
luded human being" and " an anar-
chistic enemy tAthe nation which pre-
tects him in hiS~ealth."
The editorial was based on the re-
port that Mr. Ford's employees
would lose their places if they went to
the border as members Of the Nation
al Guard. The bill quotes the edito-
rial as saying: "Ford is an anarchist" +"
Inquiry at the Henry Ford offices
in Detroit discloses the fact that en-
ployes of Ford who are members of
or recruits in the National Guard
will lose their places. No provision
will be made for anyone dependent
upon them. Their wages will stop,
their families may get along in any
fashion possible, their positions will
be filled and if they come back safely
and apply for their jobs again they
will be on the same footing as any
other applicants. This is the rule of
the Ford employees everywhere.
Information was refused as to the
number of American soldiers unfor-
tunate enough to have Henry Ford
as an employer at this time, but at
the Detroit recruiting office it was
said that about rs men will pay their
price for their services to.their coun-
try"
The editorial continues:
"Mr. Ford thus proves that he does
not believe in service to the nation
in the fashion a soldier must serve it.
If his factory were on the southern
and not the northern border we pre-.
sumo he would feel the same way
We do not know precisely what he
would do if a Villa band decided
that the Ford strong box were worth
opening and that it would be pleas
ant to see the Ford factories burn

RELATIONSHIPS HIS POSI-
TIoN AS SECRETARY OF
LOCAL BODY.
NO SUCCESSOR AS
YET ELECTED
Work Of Organization Will Not
Be Hampered. but will Pro-
ceed as Usual.

After having efficiently served the
Chamber of Commerce of Columbus
and Lowndes county as secretary
and manager for period covering
several months, Mr. ]. G. Weatherly
has rendered his resignation, and as
he was forced to Immediately relin-
quish his duties the directors have
not as yet had time to secure an ex-
ecutive to succeed him. They are de-
termined, however, not to act hastily
as they desire thoroughly efficient
and competent man, and until such a
man can be secured the place will
remain vacant. In the meantime, Miss
Ella Mae Jordan, who has been in
the employ of the Civic Chamber for
nearly year, will keep the Office
open, and the directors will see that
the business is properly conducted.
They will give all correspondence
their prompt attention and no letters
will remain unanswered.
The annual election of officers for
the ensuing year will be held Tues
day, September 26, and in naming
these officers the referendum plan
will be adhered to. This plan contem-
plates the nomination of three candi-
dates for each office to be filled, and
after nominations have been turned
in the members vote on same, and
the candidates receiving the largest
number of votes are declared elected.
While hard times hrve reverted
the Civic Chamber from sesu Srg E.r
Columbus any factories, or industrial
enterprises of great magnitude, the
organization has by no means been
idle, and during the past few months
a great deal of efficient work has
been quietly accomplished. Now that
the fall season is approaching, how
ever, the directors anticipate more
activity along industrial lines, and
will put forth every effort to keep
Columbus before the public and to
add to its prosperity and progress in
every conceivable way. With this
end in view thoroughly competent
and experienced man will be en-
ployed as secretary-manager, and
with such man in charge of its af-
fairs the organization will be in a
better position than ever before to
work for the upbuilding of Columbus
and the contiguous territory.

I. A. BRAhTLEY, STATE GAME
WARDEN, MAKES SPEECH HERE
EXPLAINS GAME AND FISH LAWS
OF MISSISSIPPI TO Lo.
CAL CITIZENS.

Hon. IA. Brantley, state game and
fish commissioner, delivered an adj
dress at the court house here Fri
day night. The object of the address
was to acquaint local citizens with
the game and fish laws of Mississippi
as enacted by the legislature at it's
recent session, and the commissioner
explained these laws thoroughly and
cogently, having made them so plain
that child could easily understand
their full meaning.
Within the borders of Lowndes
county there are great many sports
men who devote considerable time to
hunting and fishing, and as they are
all law-abiding citizens they were
glad to have the game and fish laws
thoroughly explained, so that they
can refrain from breaking them.

In some of the rural precincts
in this county registration has
been very satisfactory and prac-
tically a full vote will be cast at
the primary, but in other pre-
cincts registration has been slow
and unless there is a reversal of
attitude in these a lot of people
will be turned away from the
polls on September IL.
1t is to be hoped that our farm
ers will answer the statewide call
and so arrange their work that
they can call upon the registra-
ton clerk next Saturday.

4 FTER sizing up the con-
"A gressional situation in this
district, it is our opinion that
without doubt >. J. Harrison is
the best man in the race. Not
only is he the best man for this
particular section, but the best
man for the entire district. It
would be difficult to find man
in the entire district who has
been more prominently identi-
fled with the actual development
of the country. In this devel-
opment he has been a principal
rather than a bystander and con-
sequently knows what the state
and the district need from a
standpoint of further develop
ment.
Not only is Mr.. Harrison ac-
quainted with the needs but he
is well equipped by education,
training and experience to i'm
press them forcibly upon con-
gress. His record shows that he
has initiative, he has determine
ton and he has ability.
His fitness, when viewed from
a partisan angle, is unquestion-
able. His republicanism is gen.
uine. He is a great admirer and
a strong supporter of Charles E.
Hughes and if elected he could
be relied upon as an earnest
worker for the success of the re
publican administration.
