SOME ERROR, THIS.
CherO-COla Does Not Contain 3 Per
Cent Alcohol as Published.

Here is an error that would cause
John Barleyeorn to turn green with
envy.
In the publication of the formal
notice Of the Chero-C Cola Bot
tling plant in the Dispatch Sunday
morning it was enormously stated
that the bottles were soaked in 8 per
cent alcohol solution, whereas it
should have read alkaline instead of
alcohol
There was a tendency on the part
Of those who are looking forward to
the dnOuth after July / to flop over to
Chere-COaa in the hope that some of
the solution would stick to the bot
ties and make the Chero- Cola even
more refreshing and invigorating than
it is already.
But Chero-COla is good without the
white lightning" effect and the drin'
is winning over friends every day.

STREET PAVING
WINS AT POLLS
PEOPLE OVERWHELMINGLY
VOTED FOR PAVING OF
BUSINESS DISTRICT.
$4,000 IN BONDS
Vote Was 237 For the Issue and
90 Against-Ten Blocks
Will Be Paved in the
Business Section.

By an overwhelming majority vote
the street paving bond issue won at
the polls Monday.
The vote was 237 for the issuance
of the $4,000 in bonds for paving of
the business district of the city and
sc against it.
1t was such an overwhelming vic
tory that there is no doubt as to the
strong sentiment in the city in favor
of paved streets, and this sentiment
will be responded to with the finest
street paving that can be had, Off
cials declare.
There were 1888 votes east in the
election and the strongest effort to get
the vote out was made by those op-
posed to the measure. Voters were
brought to the polls in automobiles,
especially during the closing hours
of the voting Opponents to the
measure were organized and despite
their efforts TO bring out a decisive
vote against the measure mustered
only Sc votes.
Many citizens who had planned to
leave the city for the day on business
trips voluntarily remained until the
polls opened at 8 O'Clock to vote for
the measure and within less than an
hour over q hundred votes had been
polled.
The election was conducted by the
following officials: Prof. J. c. Mead
ows, Mr.. w. VI. Clark and Prof. f..
A. Stanley, judges; Messrs. Leo Flynn
and John s. Marshall, clerks.
The p.Ececure, now that the eIec-
tion has carried, will be to employ a
competent engineer who will submit
estimates and the cost of the paving
will be determined. When this is done
the bonds will be issued and prelim-
mary work, such as taking down tele-
phone and telegraph poles and laying
of water pipes will be gotten under
way.

REDPATH cHAUTAUQUA ENDS.

The five-day session of the Redpath
Chautauqua ended in this city last
Monday evening when an interrupted
performance of the farce comedy, at
Pays to ADVERTISE" was presented at
the big tent pitched on the play
grounds Of the Lee High School. The
rain of the evening put an end to the
plans for the return of the Chautau-
qua next year and stopped the pre-
sentation Of the comedy, while hun
dreds Of tinid people, afraid of the
tent. the wind and rain and lightning
scurried hoIhe. The deluge came at
the end Of the first act of the comedy.
Rev. Mr.. Gavin. pastor of the First
Methodist church here, had just made
an appeay fDr tIas eale Of season tick
cts for nesss year and committee had
undertaken the task and was meeting
with good success. But then the big
tent began to sway as the wind swept
its folds and the peltering of the rain
became so loud that the committee
stopped. After a while the company
tried to quiet the audience remaining
by introducing the second act of the
play but their voices could not be
heard and as the crowd was dodging
leaks as well as the players the people
settled themselves down and took the
occasion philosophically, adjusting
themselves to the. rain and mud and
leaks and winds and lightning and
thunder and the entertainment was
finished. It is hardly fair to say any
thing derogatory of company which
would endeavor to entertain a crowd
and at the same time dodge numerous
leaks from the tent roof, but this is
what the last attraction on the pro-
gram endeavored to do.
No doubt the Chautauquaites will
be around in time to secure it for next
season

ternoon in the Bigbee River on the
PEBBLES place about a mile Of Vienna,

TO the end Of & boat that was floating

groes who were fishing on the op-
posite side Of the river watched him
all through the performance, little
dreaming until he had jumped into

to death. They ran TO the village Of
Vienna and gave the alarm and the
body was recovered without any trou-
BILE. A note found pinned to the in

ployees as well as the public general

stated that the account against them
as stated by Mr.. Buntin was correct
and they were ready to pay it when
ever called upon by the administra-
tor of the deceased mans estate
Mr.. Buntin had been in bad health,
suffering from stomach trouble Tor
some time, and it is believed that was
the cause Of ms suicide.

900 acres Of land at forty dollars per

The Boy Scout drive to raise
$1,000 for the boys of Columbus is
far behind schedule, little more than
half of the quota of 81 900 having
been raised the first two days of the
campaign.
Eleven committees launched an in
tensive campaign Monday morning
and all people who have been solicited
for funds have responded most cor
daily with the exception of very
few.
Many people have been liberal in
their contributions, and In four or
five instances the committees have
met with absolute refusals. This is
the history of every campaign, how
ever, and the enthusiasm and ardour
of the campaigners was not dampened
in the least.
The young boys of Columbus have
played their part in all of the war
campaigns; they have been loyal and
faithful to every trust and RESPONSE
bility imposed upon them and now
they are asking the community which
they have served to help them and
aid and encourage them in their
work.
The goal is $1,000 and it is hoped
before the campaign ends Saturday
night the entire amount will have
been raised.
Many people have been missed in
the canvas and those who have not
been solicited are urged to hand in
their contributions to Mr.. Henry
Gunter, treasurer Of the Scout organ
ization, at Gunter Bros store.
The apepal is in behalf of the young
boys of Columbus. Will it be in vain
to the generous people of Columbus
Will the cause of the boys go by de-
fault, and will their hopes and plans
and ambitions be shattered?
The question is up to you.

WOULD TURN RIVER
in DEPARTEE CREEK
Movment of Surplus Water
Through Canal Would
Prevent Overflows

A moveemnt is On foot to
cut canal at some point near
what is known as the "Head
of the bottom" on the south
side of White river, connecting
the river with Departee creek.
The project includes the
Strengthening and deepening
of the channel of Departee
creek, so that when the river
reaches a high stage some of
the surplus water can be di-
verted through the canal into
Departee creek and thus de-
crease the danger from over
flows in Oil Trough and Big
Bottoms.
1t is said that practically all
the land owners of the entire
Oil Trough bottoms are in fav-
or of the project.
(. E. Ramsey, of the Gov
eminent Engineering Corps, of
Washington, d. C. has been in
the community going over the
ground and making a survey
of the country in regard to- the
proposed canal.
The government will assist
in carrying out the project if
it is considered by the govern
ment engineers as feasible and
of enough Importance for the
government to take up the
work.
Much depends upon the re-
port made by Mr.. Ramsey and
until his report is submitted it
is not known what will be the
outcome of the movement.

DRASTIC LIQUOR LAW
PASSED BY SENATE
of Liquor In Amy
Subjects Owner
to Heavy Fine

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-Pro-
hibition batted 1000 in the
Arkansas Senate Monday
morning, due either to the fact
that it was blue Monday or
that many Senators, who, at
various times in their lives
might have been classed as
"wets," or conservatives, sur
rendered to the inevitable.
Senator Greenhouses new
bone dry law, which, it was
brought out by Senator Cald-
we'll of Pine Bluff, would sub
ject a person with a mere half
pint" in his home to a fine of
from 500 to $1,000 to say
nothing of 80 days sojourn in
county bastiles, passed the SEN
ate without effort.
In fact, Senator Caldwell.
the only member who called
attention to the drastic provis-
len, resignedly declared that it
perhaps was the only way to
reach those at whom the bill
was aimed, and that enforce
ment of the measure at that
was very doubtful, voted for
the measure. The bill received
28 affirmative votes, while no
negative ballots were cast. It
was sent to the House immed-
lately, and, it is said, probably
will pass the house with very
little if any opposition.
Senator Greathouse, who
Win senator HOnder introduce
ed the bill, was not in the Sem
ate chamber, being confined to
his room by illness. The bill
needed no special champion,
however, for, as several sem
ators declared, the opposition
to prohibition laws "has Just
naturally given up in despair"
The proposed law would
not prohibit the bringing of al
eohol into the state for medici-
nal, mechanical or sacramento
purposes.
