PIGGLY WIGGLY HAS
NOVEL FEATURES
TOUR OF SELF SERVING STORE
PROVES TO BE DECIDED
LY INTERESTING.

Local housewives are to be con
graduated upon the fact that a Pig
gly Wiggly has been opened in Col
umbus, as the economical plan upon
which the establishment is operated
enables its proprietors to sell goods
at very small margin of profit,
and in these days of hign prices,
each penny counts, and it is import
ant every possible saving be made.
The Piggly Wiggly, which is 10.
Gated at 119 South Market street
and which is under the management
of Messrs. Cox Brothers, formerly
of Starkville, is operated on the self
serving, cash-and-carry plan, thus
eliminating the cost of clerk hire, de-
liveries and other expenses usually
incurred by grocery merchants.
The plan upon which the Piggly
Wiggly is operated embraces many
unique features, and trip which a
Commercial representative recently
made through the establishment
proved very interesting. The scribe
wondered, for instance, how such
commodities as cheese, salt pork, po-
tatoes, onions, apples and other ar
ticles usually weighed or measured
by clerks were dispensed. He was,
however, soon enlightened regarding
this phase of the business. The
cheese and salt meat, which are kept
in scrupulously clean refrigerators,
are cut in slabs, the exact weight of
each slab being marked thereon; so
customer pays only for what he or
she gets, even to the fraction of an
ounce. Apples, potatoes and other
similar commodities are done up in
packages of convenient sizes, with
the prices plainly marked thereon.
and in adjacent containers are sam
pies showing the exact character Of
the fruits and vegetables which have
been put up into packages
The Piggly Wiggly is doing a
splendid business. nearly one thous-
and customerse having been served
on the opening day last Saturday,
While it is estimated that fully -four
thousand people went through the
establishment on tours of inspection,

PROTEST FIXING
COTTON PRICES
DELEGATION FROM SOUTHERN
STATES APPEARS BEFORE
COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.--Pro-
tests against the government fixing
basic prices for standard grades Of
cotton marked the beginning Tuesday
of the deliberations of the new COM
mittee named to investigate the cot
ton situation,
A delegation OF the cotton states
official advisory marketing commit
tee appeared before the committee
late after comforting at the capital
with Senator Smith of South Car
olina and his associates from the
cotton states j. ] Brown, Geor-
gias commissioner OF agriculture
headed the delegation and voiced
What he termed the protest of the
farmers against price fixing. Mr.
Brown is president of the advisory
marketing bureaus and the presi-
dents of the farmers unions Of
those states He said his organiza-
tion believed the law of supply and
demand should govern prices.
While willing to submit to any act
OF the government as a war measure,
MIR. Brown said he did not believe
such drastic action as price fixing
Is necessary. The wisdom of the ap-
polntment of the cotton distribution
committee, empowered to buy cotton
for the government and tho allies,
and TO allocate It as to quality ana
grade to all domestic and foreign
consumers, was questioned by Mr.
Brown and the other delegates.
The governments theory that
some control must be exercised over
distribution OF the lower grades Of
cotton, so as to force them on the
domestic market and thus release
greater quantities Of the higher
grades for government requirements
was based upon an erroneous view,
Mr. Brown said. The lower grades,
he added, are being distributed nor
mally, aud governmental interior
ence would be unwise from an econ
cmic standpoint.

CLAIM OF SELF DEFENSE
UPHELD BY SEVERAL
WITNESSES
TRIAL A SHORT ONE
Examination of All Witnesses
in Case Requires But a
Few Hours.

Sensational evidence was intro
duced yesterday when Mir. w. M.
Ware, who. on September rs, shot
and killed Mr., II, S. Nichols. was
arraigned for trial before Justices Of
the Peace T. NJ Cummings and r.
NJ. Nickels, the prosecution having
attempted to show that the shooting
resulted from attentions on the part
of Ware to Miss Florence Dorr. a
step-daughter Of the dead man, ra-
ther than from business differences,
as was claimed by the defense This
contention was, however, successful
ly refuted by the defense, and the
court, having become convinced that
Mr.. Ware shot in self defense, orr
defed that he be released without
bond
Miss Dorr, who was among the
first witnesses introduced, testified
that Ware had been friendly towards
her but that their intimacy had gone
no further than friendship, there
never having been any Improper rel
ations between them
The defendant, when placed on
the stand in his own behalf, describ-
ed the difficulty in detail and swore
that he fired in self defense, He
said that the difficulty resulted from
dispute over cotton and that when
he fired the first shot MIR. Nichols
was attempting TO draw his pistol,
He claimed further that he had eN-
tended many fayors to MIR. Nichols,
having advanced him money with
which to meet his expenses while
he was making his crop.
Mr.. Frank Ware, a son of the de-
fendant, who was present when the
shootink took place, corroborated the
testimony given by his father.
DR.. j. Uithoven, who reached the
side of the dead man soon after the
shooting. swore that he was armed.
Messrs. ]. w. Gardner ard Il. l..
smith, proprietors Of local cotton
warehouse, swore that they heard
Nichols make threats against the
life of Ware at their warehouse on
the day of the shooting.

PROSPERITY AHEAD
Thirty-fourth Session Prom
ises to Be a Most Success
full One.

The Mississippi Industrial Institute
and College opened its thirty-fourth
annual session Tuesday, and the
large number Of students VINO have
already matriculated indicates that

young ladies' arrived on that day.
while every train reaching the city
Tuesday brought additional recruits
to the student body. The attendance

not expected to reach its zenith un-
til somewhere around OCTOBER /.
Columbus is essentially a college
town, and the opening of the big in
stitution has infused new life into
its entire population. There are
several local mercantile establish
'ments and refreshment stands which
cater almost solely to college trade,
and number of these places which
have been closed throughout the
summer have reopened their doors
ser thS-.4a.l and winter season.
Several of the teachers resigned at
the close of last session, and while
successors to most of them have been
secured there are two vacancies yet
untitled, President Whitfield having
as yet found 1t impossible to secure
secretary for the college Y w. c
A. to take the place of Miss Nina
Perkins or an instructor in the de-
partment of history to succeed Miss
Lena Ellington. Miss Ellington was
granted an indefinite leave of aD-
sence in order that she might take
up Y. M. c. A. work in France, while
Miss Perkins rendered her resigna-
tion.
