AND CORN.

Columbus and the surrounding
country were visited by an exceed
ngly heavy rain Tuesday night, the
precipitation according to the official
report of Mr.. j. b. Love. local
weather observer having been 19l

prove effective in increasing damage
from boil weeyils, which are present
in various sections Of the county, as
these pests always propagate rapidly
during wet weather.

efficiency on the part of labor.
Chairman Hurley declared this is
no time to conduct unnecessary eX-
periments, for If the nation is to
wiring victory from the Huns it will
have to fight hard and with all its
resources. He said he believed more

IN THIS COUNTY
MEETINGS FRIDAY
People in Every Neighbour
hood Throughout Coun-
ty Will Boost Drive.

For several weeks past workers
in the local War Savings stamp cam
paign, under the leadership Of Prof
". A. Stanley, director for Lowndes
county, have been laboring assidous-
ly to make the local drive a success,
and on Tuesday night a meeting was
ileld at the court house at which fl

ward and who earnestly urged his
fellow workers to do every thing in
their power to make Columbus and
i4owndes county "go over the top
IKE called their attention to the fact
that Lee county had already raised
more than her quota and declared
That Lowndes should not a--..ow
neighboring counties to overtop her
in this patriotic work.
Maj, B. A. Lincoln, chairman of the
Lowndes county speakers bureau
said he thought that it would be
good idea to send speakers out into
the rural communities for the pur-
pose of arousing interest among the
people. He said he thought that prac-
tically all The white farmers realized
the necessity for aiding the govern
ment and would invest literally ia
the stamps; but that there were many
negroes who did not understand the
Importance of the work and who
would not invest unless they had the
plan thoroughly explained to them by
competent speakers. Following Mai
Sincoln's suggestion, several gentle
men possessed of pronounced foren-
sic ability volunteered their servicee
as speakers, among them having been
Prof. Dabney Lipscomb and Mr.. e. e.
Galloway, and other gentlemen Will
probably be added to the list.

proclamation urging the people of
