OLDEST COLORED SUBSCRIBER

Thirty-two long years that is the
period of time which George r. Smith,
Il. f, ID. 6, has been taking The Dis
patch. Thirty-two years ago, when
this paper was toddling infant he
began taking the paper, and he has
been faithful ever since.
George has been a residents of sew
eral sections of the county in all this
period, but he has had The Dispatch
follow him. And because of his keen
interest in its welfore, he dropped in
the past week to tell us that "that
niger has gone" and " faint no use
to keep on sending his paper" He
has read all about the high cost of
paper, and he wanted to save us this
loss.
| have taken ii when it was one
dollar, and two dollars, and | will
keep on taking it if it goes to five
dollars a year." said George, "for l
shore gifts my moneys worth"
Well, here's hoping that he will get
it for another thirty-two years.

THE SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
TOMORROW

The Salvation Army Drive comes
tomorrow. 1t was deemed advisable
to postpone it from last week for a
number Of reasons, and the wisdom Of
the postponement viii be justified, we
believe, in the increased returns
which will reward the efforts of the
workers.
The cause needs no commentator
at our hands. It is known Of all men,
and its worthiness is established the
world over. It's work and worth APP
peal to all at time when most
needed.
The whole world is hungering for
human sympathy. The brutal pas
sions of the human race have been
turned loose by war--and the demand
Isl for Kindness and helpfulness and
sympathy everywhere.
The whole system Of the Salvation
Army and its work is based upon the
actual needs of the human family. It's
ministrations are for the hungry and
suffering in the down-and- out walks
Of life, and its field is the universe.
Its motto is helpfulncss wherever
needed.
Surely this community of wealth
and culture and Christian ideals is not
going to turn a deaf ear to its APP
peals. Its only support is you and
what you give. Help it to the limit,
sustained by the consciousness that
you are doing a great work.

POLES BEING MOVED.


The Columbus Railway, Light and
Power CompanyBput a force of men
to work yesterday removing their
poles from the center of Main street.
The first pole undertaken was at the
corner Of Main and Fourth and when
the men went to work it broke of. at
the base, falling heavily to the
ground. The streets were crowded
with teams and pedsstraps but for
tunately the pole fell parallel with the
streets and did no damage. The peo-
pie will welcome their removal, for
the paving of the center of Main
street can then proceed without OBJ
struction or inconvenience.

AUTO FEATURED BY CIRCUS.

In 1898 a circus was announcing
the exhibit of a 'horseless carriage
among the freak wonders to be seen
under the big Top But today the
worlds largest circus is using an au-
tomobile as one of its foremost at
fractions. The car, an Essex finished
in silver and white, is used to convey
the stars of the sawdust circle into
the arena. AS its first appearance
is after an act filed with hair raising
equestrian stunts, it serves to en-
phasize the dignity, comfort and
beauty of the automobile and provides
a graphic illustration Of the giant
strides made by this industry in the
past two decades.

the finest, and its membership is con-
fined to the very best men. Its work
is wholly altruistic, and selfishness
finds no place in its creed. 1t is the
finest and best association of men
possible, and accomplishes the great
EST work for a community. Its STAN
lards are so high that none aspire to
realize them save through the exer-
else of the Hottest attributes of
citizenship. The standard will be
maintained here.
Membership is upon invitation.
When mans record is such that the
confidence Of the community is reposed
in him, he will be invited to join. A
man in the ranks of the Rotarians is
recognized in his community as one
Of its best men.
There is no burdensome expense at
tached to it. The dues are nominal,
and the secretary-upon whom
large share of the detail work falls
serves for small salary. The meet
ings of the club are held weekly, with
all of its members present, at small
luncheon lasting an hour, at which the
business of the organization is trans
acted. Occasionally the Rotarians
have a Ladies' Day, to which their
wives, sisters, daughters, mothers
and sweethearts are present, to grace
and charm the occasion, and the pro-
gram is entertaining. A different
member presides each week, present
ing some matter Of concern to the
whole community. These weekly
gatherings are love-feasts Of good
citizenship, at which discordant
not is seldom struck. They are bar
rier breakers in which business and re-
ligious and political and other differ
ehces are broken down and merged
in the good of the community.
OF course Columbus needs such an
organization. Every community does,
and the Columbus club being the
very finest and best--will do a great
constructive work for the welfare Of
this community.

Rotary means "Service'-service

next few weeks for the preliminary
organization.

PLANT FOOD CROPS

The Commercial-Appeal recently
contained a double-column, double
loaded, big-type editorial warning the
people to plant food crops.
The Dispatch has had several adj
monitions along this line, and it is
therefore gratifying to have our po-
sition endorsed by such an authority
on economic matters as the CONNER
cial-Appeal is supposed to be.
During the past few years the
outflow of money for food crops in
this county has been very little. Fol-
lowing the invasion of the boil weevil
and the diversified agriculture which
followed, Lowndes county became
self-sustaining. Hogs and cattle and
hay and grain sustained the county,
and cotton was surplus.
Under this system of agriculture
bank deposits increased and our
farmers became independent.
Now under the influence of forty
cent cotton and other conditions,
labor, etc, the old order Of things is
returning. Corn is selling now for
$2.25 a bushel, and money is going
out of our banks weekly for corn and
oats and other feed crops. Between
a half and million dollars of our
surplus money will be sent out of
the county before another crop is
made.
Food Crops this fall are going to be
higher than were ever known in the
worlds history.
The wage scale in industry has at
tracted hundreds of thousands of men
from the farms to the factories. They
are no longer producers, but are con-
sumers of food crops. A survey of
the national situation reveals this
condition all over America.
Then the great grain belt has been
hit hard by the same weather con-
ditions which have given the South
a setback. The oats crop is way
off, and with a short growing sea-
son the prospect for corn is bad.
Thousands Of cars Of corn are now
being held up in the railroad termi-
nails, by the embargo rotting, reduc-
ing the present supply. The railroad
situation is anything but assuring
If the Railway Wage Board works
out satisfactory adjustment of the
wage problem general strike may
be averted. But if transportation
moves in its accustomed channels, it
is estimated that 100000 new cars,
and accompanying motive power, will
be necessary to adequately equip the
roads for the normal business of the
country, and these cannot be provided
for several years.
So with all these factors entering
into the food situation it is we'll for
our people to seriously consider this
problem. We may go hungry this
next fall and winter all because we
have not raised food for home
consumption.
The granaries of the west may be
bullying with grain--with no means
of transportation to get it here
Corn is our mainstay, and if you plant
now you will have your problem
solved for the fall and winter.
A gentleman who has just returned
from st, Louis, whore he went to in
vestigate the grain business, says that
conditions are far more serious than
we realize. So plant corn now. 1t is
not too late.

 Speeches made by officials of the new association brought out the fact that no sooner had the railroads been turned back to their owners by the government than there was quick de- yelopment in the industrial forces.
 This was pointed to as a good omen that the railroads would accomplish quickly a building up of industries along their lines as had not been pos sible during the war.

 HOMES TO AMERICANS
Hospitality Club Formed to Assist In Caring For Thousands of Vis-
 itors Expected

London, March 25.-(Specia1)-A club under the title of 'The Anglo American Hospitality Club@ has just been formed in London. The objects of the club. as defined in the constitution, are to arrange, so long as the pressure | on hotel accommodation continues. for the entertainment of American citizens visiting England, in English homes and the social entertainment of American visitors to Great Britain.
 Amongst the influential members of the committee are: The Countess Beatty, daughter of MT. Marshall Field of Chicago; the Viscountess Acheson, daughter of Senator Ridge 1y Carter; Lady Denman, wife of Lord Denman, formerly governor general of Australia; Lady Ebury, daughter of Mir. Edward Padelford of Georgia; Lady Beauchamp, daughter of MT. Archibald Woods of Columbus, O.; Lady Conway, wife of Sir Martin Conway M. P; the Hon. Mrs. Oliver Brett daughter of Mrs. August Hecksher of New York.
 The honorary secretaries are: Maj. the Hon. Neville Lytton, brother of the Earl of Lytton, and grandson of the famous novelist, and Col. W. s. Fergus son of the Kings Dragoon Guards.
 Arrangements are being made to pre- pare a list of country houses and town houses, which could be occupied by Americans visiting Europe this year, and also of those hostesses who would be willing to receive visiting Ameri- cans. The secretary's office is Ends leigh Gardens, Huston, London, N. W. 1, and all communications should be ad- dressed to him.
 The club has originated in the un- precedented demand for hotel accom- fnodation in London at the present time and it is felt that something must be done if great inconvenience is not to be suffered and that hostesses must ba asked to make arrangements for throwing open houses which have never hitherto been available for any such purpose.

DAIRYMEN MAY YET
 ASK AN INJUNCTION
Doubtful About Ability to Pastearize
 Milk

Announcement was made Wednesday that the injunction proceedings ex- pected by city officials for some days would be filed by Birmingham dairy men Saturday, attacking the enforce ment of a recent ordinance requiring pasteurization of milk.
 There are more than 100 dairymen in the local dairymens association who have banded together to attack the law and have employed an attorney to rep resent them.
 They are reported to say that if the city law is enforced it will result in practical confiscation of the dairy busi- ness in and near Birmingham.
 The city ordinance requires thay un- less milk comes up to test of less than 60,O00 bacterial units it must be pasteu- rized. .i
 The dairymen say this is 10000 units lower than any city in the south and that it means that all milk must be pasteurized because they say none can score so pure as COCO.
 Three local dairies, however, have passed the test with less than 10000 bac- tcria per cubic centimeter lately.

TROY

Troy, April 7.-(SpeciaL)- is said that amateur crooks are the only ones who risk detection, skilled ones never do. It would seem true by the fact that an unskilled one, a negro farm hand, daringly stole wagonload of peanuts in broad daylight Saturday. The negro, Jim Cox. had come to town with wagonload of farm produce of his employers. He unloaded his wagon and then, during a heavy rain, drove into the rear of Wilbon BoswelPs ware house and calmly shoveled peanuts into his wagon. The sound of the rain drowned the noise of the shoveling of the peanuts, so he felt pretty safe. He then drove over to another warehouse and sold his load for $48. However, Mr. Boswell soon noticed the fresh wagon tracks and the missing peanuts. He notified the sheriff, who got on the trail and soon had Cox in jail.
 The splendid revival meeting at the First Baptist Church which has been attracting a great deal of interest, came to a close Sunday night. iDr. E., S. Alderman, pastor of the church. was assisted by pr. J. H. Dew of Ridge crest N. c. Fifty members were re- ceived into the Baptist church and sev- eral into the other churches of the city. Three meetings were held Sun day and were largely attended and great deal of interest manifested
 pr. Dew was called away Sunday night and left immediately after the close of the services for South Caro- lima, where his brother is seriously ill It is said that Dr. Dew has engage ments for conducting revival meetings which will continue through the next eighteen months Atlanta getting the next meeting.
