BOARD MEMBERS
VISIT COLUMBUS

Two members of the executive COM
mittee of the Board of Trustees of

umbus Friday comforting with Pres
ident ]. c. Fant Of the NJ. S. C. w.

retary Of the board and Hon. W. C.

Senator Bee King of Mendenhall was
expected, but failed TO get here.
The members Of the committee after
going over the affairs of the college
here left yesterday morning for Stark
vile, where they held conference
yesterday with President d. c. Hull
of the institution.
Mr.. FAINT returned yesterday morn
ing on an early train to his home at

CITY LEAGUE
GAME RESULTS
League Standing.
Fridays Game.

AS is almost invariably the rule
in amateur ball the winning team
made more runs in the Friday game
in one inning than the losing team
made in the whole game.
The game was between the Chero
Colas and the Retailers and the Chero
Colas came out victorious, score
to A.
For five innings the game was play
ed beautifully, and the decent score
of 2 to l, the Retailers came in and
drive two runs across and the Chero
Colas at their turn at bat walloped
the ball and gathered in five scores.
1t seems that amateur pitchers lose
their staying qualities, suffer from a
lack of confidence and equilibrium at
crucial stages, but recover and go
ahead. Blame is not to be laid en-
tirely at the door of the pitchers, for
players come in for their share of
one-inning blow-ups.
In the Friday game the Retailers
made five runs in the sixth inning
which came as the result of five safe
ties allowed by Lindamood. Time and
time again runners were caught at
the plate and this held the scoring
down considerably.
McKellar at first for the Chero
Colas was easily the star Of the Fri
day game. He pulled a number Of big
league stunts. He made sensational
hand catch of a foul off the first
base line and had to hurtle over the
crowds to get it.

COUNTY BRIDGE
is OPEN AGAIN
After Having Been Closed For Some
Time For Repairs Bridge
Again Open.

After having been closed for sew
eral days on account of re-hooring the
county bridge over the Tombigbee
river was opened again to traffic yes
terday and remained open all day.
Mr.. Louis Shull Of the Acme Con-
crete Company, the contractors, stat
ed that while the work had not been
entirely completed and would not be
until Wednesday, it was his intention
Of keeping the bridge open to traffic
from now.
In fact, Mr.. Shull opened the bridge
all day yesterday at sacrifice to his
company, but took this step in the
interest of the travelling public and
out of Difference to the wishes Of the
business interests of the city.
The bridge now has handsome
and substantial new floor, and it is
in first class condition.

ONLY ONCE EVERY
HUNDRED YEARS
Re-Leasing OF Sixteenth Section Pro-
perty Every Hundred Years
Closed Yesterday.

Nearly a thousand property holders
of Columbus yesterday went through
legal process or form that comes
only once every hundred years.
1t was the releasing process of the
Sixteenth Section lands which are
held only In lease from the Trustees
of Franklin Academy. The sixteenth
section lands were reserved by the
government for school purposes are
leased to the present owners for 80
years, renewable forever.
Yesterday the first one hundred
year period closed, and not for another
hundred years, or to be exact ninety
nine years, will the owners of the
property have to go through the same
process again.
And it's a good thing 1t comes only
every ninety-nine years for If it came
annually it would bankrupt the own
ers and put them out of business. The
councils plan Of releasing cost the
property holders not less than $5 and
not more than $40 for every deed,
and the aggregate cost Of the whole
thing to the property holders runs
up to thousands and thousands of
dollars.

LEGION'S MATCH
EXCITES INTEREST
Wrestling Match at Opera House
Monday Night--Mashburn VS..
Victor kalfuSt.

The sport event Of the week will be
big wrestling match at the Col
umbus Opera House Monday night
under the auspices Of the Tombigbee
Post of the American Legion.
Mashburn, the local champion
wrestler, will meet Victor Kalfust, a
former Columbian and who claims to
be the champion Of Nebraska, and
who has won a number Of matches
against some Of the best lightweight
wrestlers in the country.
Arrangements for the match were
being made under the direction of Mr..
Sam Kaye, commander of the Post.
The match viii begin promptly at
Is o'clock. The admission will be
Sl50 for ringside seats; 81 for first
floor and so cents in the balcony.
| Victor il confident that he can make
good showing even though his ad-
lversary outweighs him about 40
pounds. He hopes that his skill and
Irapidity with which he works will
outweigh the weight handicap under
which he will be working.
Victor is a graduate Of the famous
wrestling school in Nebraska in which
Frank Gotch, the worlds champion
wrestler, was an instructor for years.
Victor proposes to throw Mashburn
twice in an hour or lose the match.
This is the condition of his challenge.
Mr.. Julius Card, an experienced wrest-
Ter, will referee the match.
Following is a newspaper account
Of Victor's last match in Arkansas:
"The Machourich, wrestler of Camp
Pike, went back to Camp Pike this
morning in a far different manner
from what he probably expected to
return. For instead of wearing a vie
tors crown Maehourich went back
nursing broken ankle as the result
Of a wrestling match with Victor
Kalfust, an employe Of the Paschal
Brothers fruit store.
"Kalfust and Machourich staged
two wrestling matches yesterday. The
first match, at Doris Park, resulted
| in draw, after 45-minute bout.
The second match took place at Mid
way Park last night. After the men
had wrestled % minutes, Kalfust upon
releasing body's scissors hold, grasp
ed his opponent in such way that
he fell with his leg doubled up under
him, a broken ankle resulting"

FERRY TROUBLE
HOLDS OFF TRADE
Waverly Ferry Out OF Commission
Several Months Costing
Columbus Business.

A large volum of business in the
Waverly section on the West side Of
the Tombigbee is being denied Col
umbus on account of the fact that
the ferry at Waverly has been out
of commission for more than four
months.
Columbus has always drawn a good
trade from this immediate section and
the people there feel that this city is
their natural market and they want
to come to Columbus to do their trad
ing. But, the ferry has been out Of
commission for months and they are
forced to go to West Point for their
supplies.
Unless some adequate means and
facilities are providede with which to
get across the river this business will
continue to go elsewhere and when it
is once divorced from Columbus it
will be hard pull to get it back
again.
Merchants Of Columbus are willing
to put up the necessary money to
restore the ferry service, but feel that
it is within the province of the duty
of the county to provide the service.
1t is known that the Board Of Sup
ervisors have made some attempt to
restore the service, but without re-
suit.
The fact remains that the ferry is
virtually out of commission, and that
the delay in putting it in operation is
costing Columbus valuable trade.

MAKES PEOPLE WEEP.
Preacher After Superannuate Fund
Draws Tears and Dollars.

Indianola, Miss, July 27.-Rev. j.
H. Bell, former conference evangel-
ist and now representative for the SUI
perannuate endowment fund, North
Mississippi Conference, Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, made a
memorable visit to Indianola. His two
sermons Sunday at the Methodist
Church kindled the old time revival
fires and prompted those present to
great activity.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 was con-
Itributed to the cause of retired
preachers, the widows and orphans OF
the veterans of the ministry.
People wept throughout his mes
sage on "The Forgotten Man." He
showed wildly how the church had
long neglected these old men, their
wives and children; their abject want
and our duty to meet that want.
His service at night, with the mes.
sage "If You Love Me, Say So,' was
equally as impressive and brought out
hearty response to his great appeal
Rev. Charles D. McGehee, the pas
tor, states that Indianola Methodist'
have just begun to give to this cause
and that when the final returns ar,
in it will be nearer $1,000 than $4,000

FOUR BIOLOGISTS
ARE WORKING HERE
Mystery Surrounds Activities OF STAFF
Of Biologists In Field
Here.

-Four geologists arrived in Colum-
bus three days ago from Texas, and
they are now engaged in making a
geological survey of this entire sec
tion.
A veil of mystery surrounds them
as they are non-communicative and
are working behind smoke screen,
as it were.
A Dispatch reporter sought out the
leader of the party Friday and at
tempted to interview him. He cour-
teously evaded being interviewed and
simply stated that they were "staff
biologists, looking over this section"
He would not state whether they
were government staff men, or rep
resentng the Standard Oil Company,
or the Gulf Refining Co., or the Sin
clair Oil Company or whatnot. AS a
matter Of fact he did not want to
talk for publication at all.
The party are registered at the
Gilmer Hotel as being from Fort
Worth, Texas. They came to Colum-
bus in automobiles, Hudson, Essex
and two Fords, and these cars are
being used in their work here.
The following compose the party:
j. C. Hays, C. L. Strome, T. H. Ben
nett, l.. w. Kempher and F. Zozayos.

WANT WHITFIELD
TO HEAD BOLIVAR
COUNTY A. H. S.
Offered Place DR.. Hull Accepted, Is
Report.

Jackson, Miss, July 2S.-It is cur
rently reported, though indirectly and
unoffcially, that the vacant post of
principal of the Bolivar County Agri-
cultural high school, which had been
rendered to and accepted by DR.. David
c. Hull, prior to his election as pres
ident of Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College, viii be rendered
to DR.. Henry L. Whitfield, present
head of the Mississippi State College
for Women. 1t is admitted as fact
that the action of the board Of college
trustees in displaeing him from the
Woman's College was in the nature of
a surprise action to DR.. Whitfield,
even as was the election of DR.. Hull
to the Starkville institution to that
distinguished educator.
1t was a somewhat embarrassing
situation for DR.. Hull, who had in
tered into formal contract with Boli-
var County, while DR.. Whitfield had
made no arrangements for his own
future. AT any rate, there is every
reason to believe that the post at the
Cleveland institution will be rendered
to DR.. Whitfield, and the probabilities
are that as DR.. Fant assumes charge
of his new position at Columbus his
predecessor will have made arrange
ments to take the Bolivar Agricul-
tural High School.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-08-01
A SUGGESTION.

A committee of citizens or
the Merchants Association
should follow up the appeal Of
President Whitfield for accom-
odations in the homes Of Col
umbians for the overflow stud
ents at the college.
The citizens should send out
a committee to make a per-
sonal appeal and secure the
necessary rooms. 1t means
great deal to the college and
much more to Columbus.
Unless some action is taken
the attendance at the college
next session will be cut down
and the college will not get
its full share Of the students
of the State.
Action must be taken now,
or it will be too late.

CALLFOR HOMES
FOR STUDENTS
INTEREST OF COLLEGE
WILL BE SERIOUSLY
JEOPARDIZED.
MUST GET ROOMS
Turning Students Away This
Session May Mean Serious
Handicap In The Future
To The Institution.

y The Mississippi State College for
Women is facing one Of the most SER
ious situations in its history.
Unless some provision is made for
taking care Of the girls who apply
for admission to the institution this
session hundreds will be turned away
from the institution and they will go
to other colleges.
Seeing the effect of turning away
a large number of girls will have on
the institution President Whitfield
has issued a formal appeal to the peo-
pie of Columbus and especially the
residents in the vicinity of the COL
lege to take students in their homes
for the present session.
If the situation can be taken care
of this session it will be relieved next
year by the expanded dormitory facili-
ties, the last legislature having pro-
vided $4,000 for new dorrnitory
at the college here. This, however,
will not be ready for use until next
session.
Now, if the people of Columbus will
take care of the overflow Of students
this session the atterareos of the
college next season would be ma
terially increased, probably to the
1900 mark. But unless some action
is taken and taken quick, it is pointed
out, the interests of the college will be
seriously jeopardized.
Following is President Whitfeld's
formal appeal to the people Of Col
umbus:
July 20, 1920.
TO the Citizens 81 Columbus:
feel it my duty to bring to your
attention condition Of the college
which, if not properly met, will mean
hurt to it in the future.
Because Of the failure of the State
to provide additional dormitory room
during the last ten years, find it
impossible to take more than a small
part of the new applicants this year.
If these girls are forced.to go to other
colleges, in or out of the State, they
will probably connect up their home
schools with these institutions, and
the patronage Of the M. S. G. w. will
suffer in the future.
AS is known to all of you, the recent
legislature has made an appropria-
tion of S320OO0 for additional dormi-
tory room here; this room will prob
ably be provided for the next year.
In the meantime / think it would be
much to the interest of Columbus for
the citizens of Columbus to make
some arrangements for taking girls
into their homes at moderate prices
for this one session, in order that the
new patronage may not be discourage
ed. / hope that some action will be
taken and that rooms will be secured
for these young women who are at
tempting to get in, but who, because
the quotas of their counties have been
filled, have not been able to get room
in the dorlnitories.
Students who secure rooms near
enough the college will be permitted
to take their meals in the college din
ing room.
All citizens of Columbus who are
willing to take college girls into their
homes will please communicate with
me at once.
Very respectfully,
H. L. WHITFIELD,
President.
