Of the senator's remarks were In the

that the boy who hAE served w as

ativeiy early in the morning and

genger to the committee on legal az
fairs served he senate In the morn
ing. That il the difference. That Is
why the messenger Of our committee
IL entitled to at least 5000. with all
respect TO the Hsnator from Cumber-
land, the chairman Of the committee
On appropriations and fina nciaI af-

ter very carefully in the committee

recommend. The ten men who sat

they saw the boy every day--they
were probably In q position to tell az
well ~ the committee on appropria-
tiony and financial affairs what he
honestly earned.
We have no disposition 10 ask from
the State Of Maine $50 that ne is not
entitled to. We want to b. Just to
him: we want to pay him q fair,
reasonable compensation for his serv-
ices. and that IL precisely what I am
trying 10 do. Mr.. President. BY this

YARDAMAN ORGAN SOLD.

KOSCIUSKO, Miss, Nov. l2.-The
Kosciusko Herald, owned by w. M.
Noah, postmaster of Kosciusko, was
sold yesterday to Sanders and San
ders, editors and owners Of the Kos
ciusko Star-Ledger, the consideration
being $4,000 The Messrs. Sanders
will issue both papers until Jan. l,
1920, when they will be consolidated.
The Kosciusko Herald has been an
ardent supporter of ex-senator James
X. Vardaman and Congressman I. U.
Sisson for a number Of years, and
also supported Gov.-elect Lee M. Rus
sell in his campaign last sumner. The
Herald enjoyed wide circulation and
its influence was felt in all sections
Of the county and state. The sale of
the Herald leaves the supporters OF
Mr. Vardaman without an organ IN
this part Of the state, and a move
ment has already been started to es-
tablsh new paper, which will
probably make its appearance about
Jan. 1.

and the Columbus territory as is the
case all over tEa country, is growing
more acute every day.

uary /, before good white sugar will
be coming through again.
In the meantime during the short

being used.

TREMENDOUS CROWDS IN
COLUMBUS ALL DAY
LAST FRIDAY FOR
CIRCUS.
WAS WELL ORDERED
Few Automobile Smash Ups
Were Orly Features That
Marred The Day In
Any Way.

/ In the days of John Barleycorn
circus days were days of disorder,
personal difficulties and wholesale
disorders in general.
But Friday Columbus was hrong-
ed with the largest crowd that has
gathered here in many days. 1t was
circus day and a more oricrly crowd
probably never gathered in any place
before.
Collisions of humans were replaced
by collisions of motor vemcies and
few automobiles accidents were the
only disconcerting features of the oc-
casion
There were from 1900 to 5000 rco-
pie in Columbus for the circus and
both performances at the big Hagen
beck Wallace show were witnessed by
record crowds. 1t is estimated that
fully 5000 people witnessed each per-
formance. The seating capacity Of
the big tent was around 5000 and it
was filled to overflowing for the af-
tcrnoon performance and nearly all
the seats were occupied at the night
performance.
The big street parade was the prin-
cipal public feature. 1t passed up
Seventh street to College and cast
on College to the Southern depot ard
up Main to Fourth street and south
to the show grounds.
The circus showed on the Maxwell
lot on South Seventh avenue and the
"chow" asd other auxiliary tents
were pitched on a block near the old
fair grounds.
What probably would have been
serious or perhaps fatal accident was
narrowly averted when two automo-
biles collided on a blind corner at the
of South 18th Street and
Fifth Avenue. Mr.. Duff S ephcnson
was driving a Ford runabout north
along Eleventh Street and Mr.. j,
of Vernon, Alabama,
smashed into him from Fifth Avenue.
Both Mr. Marlborough and Mr.. Steph-
snson we're hurled from their cars
and the former sustained three brok-
IN ribs. Mr.. Stephensons car tum-
oled in deep dire by the side Of
he street. Two other passengers
n the Alabama car were thrown out
