and eating houses have been turned
out on account of having been affected
with a dreaded and dangerous venereaI
disease.

ANGLER HOOKS
BICYCLE, ALSO
COURT SENTENCE

A fish story is fish story, but the
following from Judge Cornell Frank
Inns court, former Columbus boy, in
Honolulu is the best yet. Read it:
Probably the queerest "fish" ever
pulled out of Honolulu harbor was the
subject of considerable controversy in
juvenile court today, with the result
that the youthful angler, Hawaiian
boy II years old, was sent to the in
dustrial school for a short term.
The youth was charged with hav-
ing stolen bicycle. When asked
where he got it, he told Judge Frank
lin that one day while fishing in Homo
lulu harbor, his hook caught on some
thing which, when pulled out of the
water after much effort, proved to be
the bicycle.
Judge Franklin, who had heard
fish stories before, remarked that the
young angler should have thought up
a better yarn before coming to court.

cast for political or fiscal issue in
the history of Columbus the people

Of ratifying the nominations of the

Special efforts were made to bring
the voters out to the polls for it was
realized that the majority that the is
sue would receive depended entirely on
the number Of voters who cast their
ballots, for there was no doubt as to
the sentiment of the people.
The election day campaign was con-
Quoted by special committee of the
Chamber of Commerce headed by Mr..
r. E. Johnston as chairman, and with

citizens this committee rendered the

MADISON TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
Will LIAM A. MADISON
SHOOTS SELF AT
BROOkSVILLE.
USED A SHOT GUN
Was Express Agent at Brooks
vile and Was Well Known.
Leaves Wife and
Family.

News was received in Columbus
Monday, that Mr.. William A. Madison
agent for the American Express Com
pany at Brooksville, had taken his
own life there by shooting himself
with a shotgun. No cause was as
signed for the deplorable deed, but
some of his friends in Columbus at
tribute it to worry over the death Of
his oldest daughter last summer
Rev. j. H. Bell, who lived neighbor
to Mr. Madison for two years, says he
was one of the most agreeable and
most companionable men he has ever
known. He was always in a good
humor, always had a pleasant word
for those with whom he came in con-
tact, and was an all-round good cit
izen and neighbor.
Mr.. Madison was member of the
Baptist Church. He was also a Mason.
and attended meeting of the Masonic
lodge here the night Of October 9th.
One of his daughters, Miss Frances
Madison, has been student at the
Mississippi State College here since
the school opened in the fall.
Mr. Pope Reeves was at Brooks
vile last Thursday and while there
had pleasant conversation with Mr..
Madison. AT that time he seemed to
be cheerful and in good spirits.
The tragedy spread sorrow over
Brooksville like a pail, for deceased
was generally loved and esteemed by
the people there.

The first sermon of the new minis

earnest, eloquent and helpful. 1t made
lasting impression upon those who
heard it. Taking this first service as
an index to the years work, we are
led to believe that the Methodist
Church of Columbus will make splen-

months under the spiritual leadership
of the Rev. Thomas H. Lipscomb.
AS fitting climax to the edifying
and inspiring service, the Sacrament
of the Lords Supper was administer

Bell.
AT night, a union service was held,
other churches of the city dispensing
with their evening services as token
of respect to Brother Lipscomb.

Washington, Dec. 6.--The presence
Of the president-elect in the Senate
filled the opening session of Congress
today with history-making and his
tory-breaking precedents.
1t was the first time in the life Of
the nation that member of the SEN
ate had been permitted to enter upon
the floor in his own right as a sena-
tor and address his colleagues as his
country's choice for the great office
of the presidency.
II was the first time that senator
had stepped into the greater RESPONSE
bilities for which the people had
chosen him.
Before being escorted to the plat
form, Senator Harding sat among his
colleagues with the same quiet de-
meanor and calmness that always
characterized his appearance in the
Senate.
He was friendly in his greetings to
the Democrats and to many of them
he gave a friendly pat on the Shout
ders in addition to hearty hand
shake.
Accolade to Shields.
He was extremely cordial in his
greetings to Senator Reed of Missouri,
Senator Shields Of Tennessee and SEN
ator Thomas of Colorado.
Senator Harding took his seat, an
swered his name when the Senate roll
was called and made brief address
from the rostum.
Later, after conferences with lead
ers Of both Senate and House, he an
nounced that he probably would call
a special session of Congress soon
after his inauguration to attempt a
revision of the nations tax schedules.
Both in his private consultations and
in his address in the Senate he asked
that the three remaining months to
the present Congress be used without
attempt at partisan advantage and to
clear away routine and lay the ground
work for constructive legislation af
ter March 4.
Mr.. Harding's address in the Senate
was in response to an ovation that
greeted his appearance for the OPEN
ing roll call and was delivered at the \
suggestion of Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, leader, called attention to
the fact that for the first time in his !
tory a president-elect was present as
senator. Vice President Marshall
seconded the suggestion by leaving his .
place and escorting Senator Harding
to the rostrum.
Visibly affected by the courtesy
shown him by his colleagues and by
crowded galleries, the president-elect
voiced deep regret at the surrender
of his associations of six years, in
GLIDING both Democrats and Republic
ans in his tribute of affection and re-
spect for his fellow senators. He
termed campaign charges of a Senate
oligarehy as harmless felton," and
declared that as president he would
regard both Senate and House with
high esteem but without thought
of any surrender of coordinate CON
stitutional authority.
