TWO PLOTS OF GROUND
NOW BEING CON-
SIDERED.
EITHER WILL DO
Committee Hard At Work Try
ing To Secure Camp For
Columbus.

Now that Columbus has definitely
decided to go after an aviation camp
officers of the local Chamber OF
Commerce have entered upon the un-
dertaking with determination to
win, and are working earnestly and
untiringly with that end in view.
Specifications showing what the
city will be expected to furnish have
been received from the War Depart
ment, and the most important re-
quirement is tract of land one mile
square, perfectly level and free from
all trees, shrubs, underground and
other distractions calculated to pre-
vent safe landings by the airmen
after flights have been made. The
War Department also stipulates that
the local committee must furnish title
abstracts of 5000 acres of land i'm
mediately surrounding the tract offer
ed as site for the aviation camp; but
this land will not be required for inn
mediate use, and, in fact, may never
be needed, the object of the War De-
pertinent in making this demand, be-
ing to place the Government in po-
sition to quickly negotiate deal for
the land should it be required in the
future.
Several sites are being considered
by the committee, the one most ia
vored being a tract of land about
three miles north of Columbus on
the Aberdeen road. Most of the
land in this tract is owned by Mrs.
+, M. Leigh, and negotiations for an
option are in progress. Another
tract of land a short distance east of
Columbus on the Tuscaloosa road is
said to be also well suited for the
purpose in view, and will probably
be the second choice Of the committee
in the event that the tract owned by
Mrs. Leigh can not be secured.
President Street, Secretary Slat-
ter, Hon. T. j. Locke, Jr., and other
officials of the Chamber of Com
morce are devoting much time to the
undertaking, and if earnest and in
telligent work will turn the trick
Columbus will get the aviation camp.

agement of the Mississippi Farm
Sales Agency to be established here
during the next week or ten days.
The business engaged in will be
that of listing and selling of farm
lands, both improved and unimprov-
ed. When seen Mr.. Hauser said
This new department or addition,
will in no way interfere with my
present business; that will be looked
after by me with the same personal
care | have always given il; but
have long thought that Columbus
should have concern making a
speciality Of farm land sales in order
to encourage more white people to
settle here by being prepared to give
them all the information required for,
knowing the merits Of this country
il is our purpose TO invite all those
who have farms for sale to list them
with us so that may examine them
and be able to exploit their advant-
ages intelligently when called upon.
We shall endeavor to get in touch
with the people In the north and west,
as well as adjoining states, who are
looking for good farms, and enlist
their interests in coming here and
seeing what we have to offer. By
judicious advertising | believe | can
add many good farmers to the pop
ulaton of this county. am not pre-
pared just yet to give out the full de-
tails of our plans, but will do so later;
however, you may say we are going
to open up the Mississippi Farm
Sales Agency very soon, and go after
business in a way to show that we
arc not asleep on the job"

DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH NEGRO
DISPOSITION OF COLORED
TROOPS is PUZZLINC
ARMY OFFICIALS.

Washington, August 4.-What
shall we DO with the negro soldier?
The question is perplexing war de-
partment officials today. Within 6
few days nearly 5000 negro nationa
guardsmen will be called into federal
service. Within few weeks severa
thousand more negroes will be draft
e1 INTO the national army.
Winter quarters are necessary foi
tha PROPER training of troops. These
dup ters must be in the south. Wan
d.rartment officials are hes..ant to
send oo'ored troops int) the south, in
ritw Of recent race trour'ss
White soldiers and negroes in the
national army cannot mingle; this
much has been decided upon. The
question now before the general staff
is whether there shall be a separate
cantonment for the colored troops.
Present plans call for sending
drafted negroes to cantonments with
drafted white men. The negroes will
be placed in separate companies and
separate barracks. Officials have no
fears for the negro soldiers. Their
fears are based entirely upon the
prejudices of the whites.
Serious thought will be given by
the war department, of the establish
ment of a training camp for negro
guardsmen and drafted men, north
of the Mason and Dixon line. III Des
Moines, Ia, there is a training camp
for negro officers and it may be de-
cided to locate training camp for
negroes in that locality.
Southern congressman nav, con.
ferred at length with war department
officials. They say the south has had
the negro problem for many years
and that the negroe soldiers will be
welcomed if they are well diciplined.
There are two complete regiments
Of negro guardsmen, the Fifteenth
New York and Eighth Illinois. There
are two battalions, lone from the
District of Columbia and Ohio. Con-
necticut, Maryland, Massachusetts
and Tennessee furnish four seperate
companies.
These troops will be mustered in
to service August 5. The Illinois
troops go to Houston, Texas; the
New York troops to Spartanburg, s.
c.; the District of Columbia to An
niston, Ala.,; the Ohio to Montgom-
cry, Ala; and the Connecticut and
Massachusetts, companies to Char
lotte, N. C. If there is any trouble
it will be handled by the United
States army, but no trouble is antici-
pated from the troops.
The attitude of the war depart
ment is epitomized in telegram sent
to Brigadier General Parkert TO a
Texas town where negro troops were
sent: "As these men are United
States soldiers it may be relied upon
that they will be law-abiding and it is
earnestly hoped they will be received
with a patriotic spirit"

There is on foot a movement to
secure boat for the local river trade
during the coming season. Crops in
this section are unusually large, and
it is a foregone conclusion that rail
roads will be unable to handle ship
ments promptly The need for a
boat is fully recognized, and local
whole sale merchants will unite in an
effort to secure one.

List, While Not Guaranteed,
Is Believed To Be Ac-
curate.
EXAMINATIONS TO
BEGIN SATURDAY
First Eligibles Will Probably
Appear Before Board On
That Date.

Inc Commefclai puDllSneS Del0W
a list of Lowndes county citizens
who are to be called before the local
exemption board for examination as
to their eligibility for service under
. the provisions of President Wilson'S
selective draft order. There are 302
names of the list and out of this num-
ber 15l will be selected for service
this being Lowndes county's quota
under the apportionment made by the
War Department.
While the list published below has
been doublechecked four times, Mr.
J. R. Randle, the secretary of the
board, states that it is barely possible
that some error may have crept in
and therefore will not guarantee
its correctness. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the list is practically cor
rect.
While only 302 men will be sum.
monsed for examination under the
first call, the checking of the lists
will continue until the 1882 names
which it contains have all been as
signed to their proper key numbers.
The examination of eligibles will
hardly begin before next Saturday.
A copy of the list will be posted at
the court house, and in addition to
this those whose names appear there
on will receive notices through the
mail instructing them to appear be-
fore the board.

first 302 men included in the first
