SANITARY OFFICER
MR.. J. c. LYONS, EXPERT.
ENCED SANITARY IN
SPECTOR ON JOB.
TO ENFORCE RULES
City TO be Under Strict Sanitary
Law Enforcement In the
Future-Is Vital
Need Here.

Mayor D. S. MeClanahan, the past
week, acting under authority granted
him by the city council, appointed Mr.
j. c. Lyons sanitary officer and in
spector for the city of Columbus.
Mr.. Lyons has already assumed his
new duties.
He is man of large experience in
sanitary work, having been connected
with government sanitary activities
for several years.
1t is the purpose Of the city to
strictly enforce all sanitary regula-
tons, and Mr.. Lyons will devote all
of his time to inspection and correc-
tion work.
Barber shops, meat markets, gro
ceries, cafes, and all agencies and
houses and individuals dealing in food
will come under the strict surveil-
lance of the sanitary officer.
After inspection is made, and it is
found that the laws are not being
complied with, the officer will give
the offender a reasonable length of
time in which to meet the require
ments Of the law; and il it is then
not complied with, he will proceed in
the courts.
The need Of sanitary inspector in
this city is vital. Columbus has
grown to such proportions that strict
oversight and inspection Of food
stuffs is essential to the health of
the community.
Mr.. Lyons will also look after gen
eral sanitation, such as drainage, sur
face closets, mosquito breeding places
and other things detrimental to the
health Of the city.
City officials are determined that
this shall be a clean and sanitary
city, and that all foodstuffs offered
for the consumption of the public
shall be clean and kept in sanitary
condition at all times. Ice boxes, the
regulation of which is very strict, will
be examined at regular intervals.
The inspection will be thorough at
all times, and the enforcement Of the
law will be insisted upon.

HERE ARE LOWER

Following a complaint Of higher
prices for ginning in Columbus, filed
with the Chamber Of Commerce, Pres
iduat Lipscomb made little investi-
CATION of the matter and it was de-
veloped that Columbus was ginning
cotton at lower rate than West
Point and other larger towns.
1t was found that the charge for
ginning here was 1925 bale, as
against 81 in other towns. The mills
IN Columbus are also paying a higher
price for cotton seed than is being
paid in other towns in this section.

BOND ISSUE IN
DIST. ONE FAILS

By vote Of 1875 to 46 the people
of District one voted down the bond
issue there for the Improvement of
the roads of the district and for the
building of the missing link on the
Jackson Highway connecting with the
Alabama road.
The issue seemed to have been
clouded to some extent. The amount
of bonds to be issued was not speci-
fcally mentioned, it having been
merely a blanket proposition giving
the authority of the people to issue
bonds in a sum not exceeding 10 pei
cent of the assessed valuation of the
property. Defeat of the issue is sale
to be attributed to this and to poor
crop conditions. =
An effort was made to reopen the
issue at an adjourned meeting of the
board yesterday morning before which
Mr.. d. w. Robins, State Highway
Commissioner, appeared. He propos'
ed to use the county's share of the
automobile tax money to construct
the road and agreed to furnish other
funds, the district fund in the event
the automobile money was insuffei'
lent. This proposition was voted down
Supervisors Dale and Stevens voting
for the proposition and Supervisors
Bell and Ledbetter voting no. Pres.
ident Watson voted no and the issue
was lost.
An effort was then made to have
the board pass an order calling
another election and allow the peo
pie to vote on proposition of the
district furnishing one-half Of th'
money with which to construct thu
road and the State Highway Commits
sion putting up the other half from
automobile tax funds at their disposal
This also lost.
| Mr.. Robins made every concession
possible, meeting the board more thai
half way, but the issue was lost, an
one of the most vital missing link
in the most important road in tn
county must remain unprovided TO
an indefinite period.

BRYAN URGES THAT
PRESIDENT RESIGN
Says He Should Carry Out Verdict Of
the People Who Voted Against
League of Nations.

Chicago, Nov. Civilian Jennings
Bryan, in Chicago, gave out state
ment suggesting that president Will
son should resign at once"
"Now that the American people
have decisively declared against the
League of Nations as written by the
President" said Mr.. Bryan, ''it would
seem desirable to carry out the ver-
dict Immediately. This can be easily
done.
"The President should resign at
once and turn over his office to Mr.
Marshall, on the condition that, on the
convening of Congress in December
Mr.. Marshall appoint Senator Harding
Secretary of State, and himself
resign.
"The law then would make Mr.
Harding President and, with the re
publican support in Congress, HI
could at once put into operation th'
plan for the United States to enteI
into an association of nations fol
peace.
"As world peace is thing neares
the Presidents heart, he can hardl!
refuse to hasten the coming Of peac'
by so small sacrifce-if it could b
called sacrifce--to escape fipm
three months combat with a hostil
Congress, supported as 1t is by the re
