FOOD EDICT TO
BE OBSERVED HERE
RESTAURATEURS, HOTEL KEEP.
ERS AND HOUSEWIVES OBEY
PRESIDENTS ORDERS.

Restaurants, hotels and private
homes in Columbus are preparing to
rigidly observe President Wilson'S
recent edict regarding the conserva.
iton of food. Restaurateurs and no.
tel proprietors found it impossible
to strictly observe meatless day
Tuesday, as satisfactory substitutes
could not be secured. Eggs were
very scarce, while it was exceedingly
difficult to obtain even limited sup.
plies of fish, poultry and other foods
generally substituted for beef and
pork.
1t is the intention, however, not
only of public eating places but Of
private homes to carry out to tbs
best of their ability the order Of
President Wilson regarding meatlesi
and wheatless days and the conser
walton Of food generally. 1t may re
quire some time to get things il

der may be fully complied with, bu
efforts are being made to do this a

Told Victims They Were

Four smooth takers, posing as eye
specialists, have recently been oper-
ating in this section, and have de-
frauded several residents of the ter
ritory contiguous to Columbus, hav-
ing secured check for $3.50 from
one lady and several pieces of val

as the psuedo specialists were leav-
ing, and having forced them to give
up the valuables
There were four crooks in the
party, all nicely dressed and bear
ing every appearance of being high
ly educated professional men. They
registered at local hotel as A. S.
Lieber, H. Lieber and S. M. Lu-
riartz, of Chicago, and S. Supes, of
Memphis. They engaged an auto
! mobile and drove out on the Pick
ensville road, making their first
stop at the home of prominent
planter about ten miles southeast Of
Columbus. After having been ad.
mitted to the home they told the
planters wife that they were eX-
perienced occuhsts and asked per-
mission to examine her eyes. This
permission, after some hesitation on
the part of the lady, was granted
and the man who made the examina-
ton told her that her eyes were in
deplorable condition and that un.
less she took a costly treatment
which he was prepared to prescribe
she would be both blind and insane
within three weeks. The husband and
son of the lady were both absent
and she had no money in the house
but the men told her that as their
time was valuable they could not
wait, and finally persuaded her to
turn over to them a handsome dia-
mond ring and other jewelry. Just
as they were about to leave, how
ever, her son came in and forced
the crooks to give up their loot.
The crooks then went to the home
of wealthy widow residing in Pick.

the same tactics succeeded in secur-
ing a check for $3.50 After the
men had left the lady became sus-
picious and got in communication
with Hon. w. F. Fitzpatrick, sheriff
of Pickens county An investigation
undertaken by Sheriff fitzpatrick es
tablshed the fact that the men had
driven to Carrollton, Ala, but did
not attempt to cash the check there
having gone on to Birmingham and
forwarded it to the bank from there
requesting that the money be sent
by registered letter to Meridian. The
postmaster at Meridian later receiv.
ed request to forward the money
to New Orleans, and Sheriff Kilpat
rSk has requested authorities there
to keep a lookout for the crooks and
endeavor to effect their arrest when
the letter is called for.

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
DIES AT HOME ON
SEVENTH STREET.
FUNERAL TODAYIPSEUDO OCULlSTS
The Obsequies Will Be Con-
Quoted By Rev S. L. Pope
This Afternoon.

The death of Mr. T. J. Locke, Sr.,
which took place at his home, 401
North Seventh street, at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, while not un-
expected, was a shock to the entire
community, for he had long been
prominent in local commercial and
business circles, and perhaps no man
in Columbus was better known or
more universally esteemed than he.
Mr.. Locke had been engaged in
the grocery business here for more
than quarter of a century, but his
activities were by no means confined
to commercial pursuits, as he had
long been an official of the First
Methodist church and displayed an
abiding interest in religious and
efeemosynary work of every charac-
ter He was not only honorable and
upright, but was exceedingly kind
hearted and sympathetic in his ma
ture, and his death has brought poig-
nant grief not only to members of
his family but to countless friends
who recognized his true worth and
who feel that his removal from
earth's activities takes from them, a
friend upon whom they could always
depend not only for wise council but
for substantial material aid when in
distress.
Mr.. Locke, who was 72 years old
is survived by his widow and four
sons, Messrs T. J. Locke, Jr., Ray
mond Locke, Oscar Locke and Wal
ter Locke. Mr.. T. j. Locke, Jr., is
prominent in local business and civic
circles. He formerly served as pres
dent of the Chamber of Commerce
and is now an official of the Jack
son Highway Association and presi-
dent of the Lowndes county high
way commission.
The funeral will take place at the
family residence at o'clock this af-
ternoon, and will be conducted by
Rev. S. L, Pope, pastor of the Firs,
Methodist church.
