REV. JESSE c. ROWAN ACCEPTS.

Rev. Jesse c. Rowan, Of GreUlville,
S. c., who was called by the congre-
CATION Of the First Presbyterian
church to the pulpit Of their church
vacated in the resignation Of Rev. r.
Excel Frye, has signifeld his ac-
ceptance Of the call but an objection

The matter now goes up to the
Presbytery of his present state which

is expected that his request VIII be
acted upon favorably by that body as
Mr.. Rowan very much desires to be
transferred to his new field Of labor
The members Of the First church here
are delighted with the prospect Of
securing his services and they hope
that the presbyteries considering the
case viii decide that he viii come to
Mississippi.

MORE THAN $500 NEWSPAPERS
FACE SUSPENSION, ANTHONY SAYS

"The present shortage of news
print" he continued, SIS due largely
to the capacity of the great publish
ing companies, which are buying
every pound Of newsprint they can
lay their hands on. The country and
small city publishers cannot meet this
powerful competition"
Jason Rogers, publisher of The
New York Globe, speaking in favor
Of the bill, declared some great news
papers were profiteering at the ex-
pense of all the Others by publishing
large editions and carrying great
quantities of advertising.
"Small city and country papers
simply cannot get newsprint," he
said, "and the big fellows must begin
to think of the little fellows soon,
or many of the smaller papers must
go out of business"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Between
$500 and 5000 small newspapers
face suspension, if not extinction, un-
less the newsprat situation is soon
remedied, Representative Anthony,
republican, Kansas, told the House
postoffice committee today in urging
favorable action on his bill to limit
to "a pages daily newspapers and
periodicals using the second-class
mail privileges.
The present acute paper shortage,
he said, is due to the large size Of
the big dailies and some magazines.
The large newspapers, he added,
could eliminate so or more pages of
feature, comic and magazine matter
published in Sunday editions without
loss to the public.
The volume of advertising should
be drastically reduced during the
present shortage, he said.

DAMAGE TO RAILROAD.

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 14.-Enor-
nous damage to highways of Missis-
sippi has been caused by the recent
heavy rains and floods.
According to Xavier A. Kramer
state highway engineer, who has
compiled reports from all counties in
the state, he finds that a conserva-
tive estimate Of the damage is ST.
100000.
Special meetings of supervisors and
highway commissioners are being
held in many counties to provide
funds to rebuild the roads and to
make them passable at the earliest
possible moment.
Bridge material of all kinds is very
scarce and expensive, and the state
highway department is urging road
officials to rebuild the bridges of sub
stantial material, which win be
cheaper IN the long run than the
flmsy structures which have hereto
fore prevailed.

SUICIDE NEAR STARKVILLE.

STARKVILLE, Miss, Dec. ia
deplorable tragedy occurred last night
near Trim Cane, some six miles north
of Starkville, in which an exemplary
young man named Horace Pearson,
40 ended his life by shooting himself
to death. His father, IN an adjoining
room, heard two pistol shots and on
entering his sons apartment was
shocked to find him weltering in his
life's blood, death ensuing in short
time. The cause of the unfortunate
affair is unknown, but it is conject-
ured that his mfld was unbalanced
owing to recent illness. Prior to
three years ago he was mail agent
on the Frisco from Memphis to Bir-
mingham, but his health becoming i'm
pared he went to Hot Springs to re-
cuperate, returning home not long
ago. During Jack Hardy's admins
tration of the Mississippi A. and M.
College Mr.. Pearson was postmaster
of the College office and on retiring
left a neat balance there He was
the son of Mr.. Y. A. Pearson, a
wealthy planter, and was young
man of fine traits of moral character.
The deceased was well and favorably
known in Memphis.

SUNDAYS PAPER.

The Dispatch is very appreciatiye
of the good things said about our
Sunday edition.
One merchant said that he did not
know such paper was possible in
Columbus either from its topographic
standpoint or the support given it by
the merchants.
Another said it was credit to
the city and he sent samples away
to his friends to show them what a
progressive town we had
Another said his adj was the best
that he had ever published, he liked
its arrangement and topographic get
up which was in line with the ads of
the big dailios.
And so their expressions went. For
all Of which we are duly thankful.

DISAPPROVES TWO
BOND ISSUES,

Hon. John f. Frierson is coming
to be an authority on bond issues if
disappearing issues is the basis of
such a reputation, and many of the
big bond issue lawyers of the coun-
try owe their regulations to adverse
opinions Of bond issues.
Mr. Frierson the past week disap-
proved two bond issues, The May
hew district issue of $4,000 was dis
approved on account Of the fact that
the district operated for some time
with only two commissioners where
as the law requires three.
The other issue was the Zion road
district issue for a similar amount.
This issue was disapproved on ac-
count of the failure Of the board to
pass a certain order and make it Of
record.
Mr.. Frierson states that the Zion
issue discrepancy may be remedied
in January or not and that legisla-
tive act or new process will be neces-
sary in the Mayhem issue.

HOPE ADJUSTMENT
OF AGGIE-AUBURN
BREAK RELATIONS

Coach W. ID. Chadwick Of the Mis-
sissippi A. and M. College, passed
through Columbus Sunday en- route
to the college from Birmingham,
where he attended the annual meet
ing of the S. /. A. A.
In conversation with Dispatch re-
porter Mr.. Chadwick stated that
there was some hope of an adjust
ment to the breaking off of relations
between the A. and NJ. and Auburn.
1t will be remembered that A. and
NJ. last week announced the sever
ance of relations with Auburn on ac-
count of certain criticisms and charg-
es made against the team by the Au-
bmn coach following the Aggies-Au-
burn game in Birmingham.
1t is known that the Auburn au-
thorities are seeking to adjust the
differences and batch-up the matter,
but Mr.. Chadwick stated that over
lures would have 30 come from Au-
burn as the A. and NJ. authorities had
given the Alabamians amply oppor-
tunity to make amends or explain the
charges that had been credited to
them, and IN the absence of an ex-
PLANTATION the A. and NJ. athletic COM
mittee felt that their action was justi-
fed.
Coach Chadwick states that it is
true that his team played hard
game against Auburn as has been the
case in past seasons. Both teams
have always played hard games, he
said. He denied most emphatically
that his men played anything but
clean football, and that charges of un-
sportsmanlike or dirty playing on
their part were without foundation
or fact.

RESTRICTIONS OFF
Congress To Investigate Coal
Situation; Garfeld's
Engineers To Be
Called.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Restric-
tions on the consumption of bitumin-
Gus coal continues to go by the board
today, as the railroad administra-
tion, now in charge of the distribution
of supplies received reports indicat-
ing that 80 per cent of the striking
miners had returned to work. Or
ders were issued by Director General
Hines allowing bunker coal to be sup
piled to foreign owned vessels in
American harbors whenever the coal
supply is sufficient to fill the require
ments of coastwise and American
owned ships. Foreign vessels had
their coal supply shut off early in
the coal crisis.
Sensational investigation of the
strike settlement proposal offered by
the government and accepted by the
miners was temporarily halted today
while Chairman Frelinghuysen, and
members of the investigating sub
committee considered the policy to be
adopted. 1t was said after a long
executive session that the committee
had not decided as to whether it
would formally demand documents in
the possession of Dr.. Harry A. Gar
field, former fuel administrator, who
resigned because of his disagreement
with the settlement proposals, or as
to whether Attorney General Palmer
and other officials would be called.
The committee, however, decided to
resume hearings, and summoned r. B.
Harris, one of the engineers Of the
fuel administration, to furnish the
statistics on when Dr. Garfield based
his suggestion that IA per cent in
crease IN wages be given the miners
and paid out Of the operators profits
without raising prices of coal. At
torney General Palmer who signiied
last week that he would appear if the
committee permitted him, left Wash
ington tonight for the middle west to
continue the governments campaign
against high prices and increased cost
of living through conferences with
state and federal officials. He will
be in Chicago tomorrow and from
there expects to go to Little Rock and
Oklahoma City.

TELEPHONE co.
HANGS UP RECORD
Columbus Now Has Over A Thousand
Telephones In Service.

In point of telephone service Col
'umbus is ranking along with the
growing cities of the South.
The growth of the telephone SER
vice is pretty good criterion and the
expansion of the service here has been
way above the average.
Recently the number of telephones
in use passed the thousand mark
which is regarded as a mile stcne in
telephone circles. The expansion of
the service is steadily increasing, in
fact it is progressing as fast as ma
terial and conditions will permit.
With the passing of the thousand
mark the exchange here goes into a
class higher in the company's service.
