Planned for Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ga, March 11.-River
freight terminals on banks of the
Chattahoochee at the foot of Seventh
street, at a cost close around one
hundred thousand dollars, are in
prospect with possibilities of early
completion. A local company is be-
ing formed with a capital of $4,000

modern wharf at this point, which is
Two blocks south of the present land
ing or wharf. Johnson j. Williams
is backing the movement to build the
terminals and he reports thai the
needed $4,000 is in reach provided
the city council takes favorable ac-
ton at it's April meeting, when the
matter is to come up for disposition

councilmen are known to favor the
project and it is believed that the
terminals will be among the early
developments of the coming snrino
season.

INTERVENTION IN
COTTON ACTION

]. II. Mills, president of the Geor-
gia Farmers union, on Thursday fill
e" in the United States district court
an intervention in the suit brought
by J. j. Brown, commissioner of ag-
riculture, and l.. B. Jackson. direc-
tor. of the market bureau, against
certain cotton brokers and dealers
having offices in Atlanta, charging
illegal price-fiXing on the lower
grades of cotton. This suit was fill
ed on Saturday of last week, being
returnable for hearing on March 20
before Judge Samuel H. Sibley.
The intervention, which makes the
president of the Farmers union a
party plaintiff with Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Jackson, was filed by Attorneys
J. Threat Moore, of Jackson, Ga,
counsel for the farmers organiza-
ton, and H. A. Allen, of Atlanta. 1t
recites the charges made in the orig
inal suit as follows:
-'"Now comes J. H. Mills, president
Of the Farmers union of Georgia and
shows to the court that he is inter
ested in the subject matter of the
above stated cause and that the farm

whom he represents, are vitality inter

ton, and therefore prays that he be
allowed to intervene as a party
plaintiff in the above said case, with
all the rights of original plaintiff.

of said meeting Of February %, 1920,
by which various grades of cotton
below middling were reduced from
one to four cents per pound has been
disastrous to the farmers of Georgia
who had a portion of their crop re-

vented them from realizing the value
OF their said cotton, forced them to
hold same until after the termina-

them to go to the banks to morrow

their crop for 1920
,"Intervenor shows th.t arbitrary
reduction of the price of cotton com
planned of in the above sale cause
was made just at the time the farm
ers were preparing to sell their cot
ton so as to realize the money neces-
sary to purchase their fertilizers,
!, The farmers of Georgia are just

stored and either buy their said fer
'tlll2er on credit or to again go in
debt for their fertilizer and spring
supplies.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Rela-

full confidence in communication
recently received from the Mexican

The substance of Villas comrnu-

of the war department coincidert
with a consular report received at
the state department announcing the
release of Joseph Williams, who had
been carried off into the mountains
by Villa last week after an attack
on train, in which Williams was
passenger. Williams was the fifth
American captured by the outlaw in
two months, all of whom have been
released without the payment of
ransom. -s. -..

Commencement Sermon.

Rev. j. L. Hudgins, of Nashville,
Tenn, preached the baccalaureate
sermon Sunday at IL am. for the
graduating class of our High School
in the First Methodist Church to a
packed house. All of the other denom-
nations gave way for this occasion.
The graduating class and the princi-
pals of the school sat at the front i'm
mediately in front of the speaker. He
cleverly connected this class and his
large audience with the first dawn of
civilization (barring the Dark Ages)
with a golden thread, step by step,
as the important characters in Ribli-
cal history (as we'll as profane his
tory, if such history in fact really
exists) came upon the stage of ac-
tion. He correctly assumed that CIV
ilization meant all along christian
civilization just as it means that now.
We will not attempt a synopsis of
this great sermon, but feel war
ranted in saying that Mr.. Woodard's
good judgment in having selected
DR.. Hudgins for this important task
was never more promptly vindicated
than it was on this ocasion. Searcy

OVERALL CLUB
MEETING MONDAY
AT COURTHOUSE
Addresses by John T. Walker, Walter
Morris, DR.. McRee and Others.

The Obion County Overall and
Old Clothes Club was organized last
Monday at the courthouse in Union
City by the election of I. P. Morris
as president and G. c. Clogs as sec
retary. This was an honor con-
ferred upon Mr.. Morris who was the
originator of the movement in Obion
County. Thru his efforts and the
assistance of the committee list of
nearly one thousand names has
been secured, who have pledged
themselves to the practice of wear
ing old clothing and the exercise of
economy in personal, household and
farm expenses during the period of
reconstruction. The movement is
growing everywhere and the Obion
Countians propose to do all they can
to further the end in view.
This is the object of the move
ment and very important one.
Addresses were made by John T.
Walker, DR.. F. M. McRee, Walter
Morris of Fulton, w. M. Miles,
Judge Bratton, d. P. Caldwell, Rev.
G. w. Evans, G. C. Clogs.
The speakers all addressed them
selves to the question of economy.
There is one way only to solve the
present problems and that is in the
most frugal economy. This was
by every speaker. Every
man as a unit who has studied the
question agrees to this solution.
The profiteers won't turn loose, labor
does not want to be in bondage, and
hence go to work and live in humble
means is the motto

of our f1rst and greatest, Washington
and Jefferson. The home life of both
is perhaps too familiar to be men
toned here. Let us notice, however
that both seemed peculiarly attached
to their plantations and upon every
occasion when free from public du-
ties rushed back to them where they
might dwell closest to nature. They
seemed to have the highest regard
| for the occupation of farming and
no doubt really preferred their rural
life in it's simplicity to that of the
complicated city.
In the years preceding the Civil
/ War, when the ugly cancer of negro
slavery was slowly but surely grow
ing and sapping the strength of our
nation, and when men began to look
everywhere for a cure for the hideous
| disease, the figures of three men ap-
peared and for a while choked its
evil influences. The story of the
great American triumvirate is we'll
known one, but we cannot overlook
the fact that Webster, Clay and CAL
houn were three insignificant farmer
bows who were born and reared in
poor but honorable homes of the
backwoods. The early life of each
was spent among rough, unpublished
but honest frontiersmen.
When the struggle between the
two sections finally came, both sides
searched for political leaders and
found them. Abraham Lincoln be-
came the head of the Federal gov
ernment, while the South entrusted
her fortunes into the hands of Jeffer-
son Davis Is it too much to say
that both owed their greatness to
the fact that their boyhood days of
formative training were spent on
farms in close association with ma
ture with all of it's endearing charms
and lasting benefits? Lincoln was
so proud of his backwoods manners
that he was never willing to ex-
change them for those of what was
then known as cultured gentleman.
Perhaps you are ready to say that
all of these examples are those of
the past and gone days, and that
conditions have changed in such a
way that rural communities are no
longer able to produce great and he
role men. If you hold such an opin-
ion as this we have only to point you
to a present-day man of extreme i'm
portance. To a man who practically
held in his hand, at one time, the
fate of the entire civilized world.
To man who by and through his
wonderful powers of organization
gained a place of remarkable pre-
eminence, but who, when the neces-
sity for such a position had passed, |
all powers and returned
to private pursuits. His biographers
say that Herbert C. Hoover was born |
on August 10, 1874, of Quaker par
ents who lived on a farm in Iowa.
Also that his childhood and boy
hood days were spent on fern of
that State.
In reviewing such an illustrious
list of men as Abraham, Ulysses, Gin
cinnatus, Virgil, Horace, Putnam,
Washington, Jefferson, Clay, Cal
houn, Webster, Lincoln, Davis and
Hoover, and considering that all
were primarily tillers of the soil, we
catch the spirit and experience the
sentiment of the poet in the lines:
Give fools their gold and knaves
their pow er,
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field, plants a tree or
trains a flower
Is greater, grander, noblcr than
all -
