LEASEHOLD DEEDS
COUNCIL AND ATTORNEYS
COME TO AGREEMENT
OVER FEES.
MAXIMUM is $1,000
Fees Fixed For Preparing Six
teenth Section Deeds Prepara-
tory to- Releasing
Before August.

At special session of the City
Council on Monday night an agree
ment was reached between the city
officials and attorneys fixing fees to
be charged by the latter for the prep
aration of Sixteenth Section deeds.
A schedule of fees was adopted as
follows: Fee for preparing deeds on
property assessed at $500 and under,
five dollars. For property over $500
fee of ten dollars was fixed.
Assessment figures for the year
1919 was decided upon as the basis
for determining the fees.
All the Sixteenth Section lots in Co
lumbus must be released by the city
on or before August /, 100, as pro-
vided in the leases under which the
property is now held by the owners.
The present leases were made for a
term Of SO years, and they expire this
year.
The City Council employed attor-
neys to prepare the deeds, and after
the work had been gone into by the
lawyers the question of fees came up,
and not until Monday was satisfac-
tory agreement reached. The lawyers
represented to the council that the
amount of work involved in the prep
aration of the deeds was such as to
justify the fees which were agreed
upon Monday night. The fees were
approved by the city attorney, General
E. T. Sykes.

CLUB
GAINING HEADWAY
Membership Is Steadily Increasing ;
Men Are DOning
Denim.

Steadily the membership Of the Pin
Check Club is increasing. AS the
spring days turn to summer days,
more men will enroll as members of
the club.
1t doesn't cost much to join the Pin
Check Club. Any merchant who sells
this particular kind of clothing viii
be glad to initiate you, and when you
pay the, initiation fee you get the
clothes thrown in. True, Pin-Cheek
clothes do not give one the appear
ance of King Solomon, who was ar
rayed in glory, but Sthey are neat,
cool, comfortable, and CHEAP. The
latter is what makes Pin Check
clothes so attractive in these days of
high-priced suits.
You can walk along the street any
time these days and meet men wear
ing Pin-C Check clothes. This "style"
not only will prove saving in pres
ent purchases, but it will be certain
to have the effect of bringing the
price Of clothing down to where the
average man can reach suit without
using a ten-foot pole or resorting to
the use of ladder.

GIRLS IN GlNGHAM
BOYS ARE IN DENIM
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
JOIN GINGHAM AND
OVERALLS CLUB.
WEAR NOPAINT TOO
Back TO Simple Life is Slogan at
High School TO Help Lower
the Cost of Living-Fad
is Popular.

"Back to the simple life" is the sum
and substance of the program adopted
by the students of the city schools to
help in the fight to lower the cost Of
living.
The girls Of the High School have
agreed to come to school without paint
or powder or rouge, and to wear
gingham dresses. The boys have
joined the overall and pin-check clubs,
and they are donned in denim.
The movement among the students
came as the result Of an address by
Prof. J. c. Meadows in chapel Monday.
He sounded note of warning against
the extravagant tendency Of the day,
and emphasized the need of conser-
vative and sensible dress.
Just what appearance the girls will
make without surface beauty trim
mings, and what general effect it
would have at first, was a rather del
icate and knotty problem to handle,
but the girls have caught the spirit Of
the movement to help lower the cost
Of living and they resolved TO resort
to desperate methods, and, therefore,
consented to throw conventionalisms
to the four winds.
They are even going so far as to
wear cotton stockings. Truly il is
going back to the simple life, If even
for a short time, but the students are
enthusiastic over the movement. They
seem to have caught the spirit, and it
is believed that the plans adopted win
hold out for some time at least.
Members of the faculty and Off
,cials Of the school have joined the
students in the movement, and by
Monday morning the entire school
forces will be donned in simple and
inexpensive clothing.
The Pin-Check Club, which was
originated in Columbus by the County
Fair Price Committee, is meeting
with popular favor and new members
are being enrolled in its ranks every
day. The pin-check suit is becoming
common sight on the streets.

THE MAYORS COURT.


Mayor McClanahan had before him
on Monday two negro women charged
with vagrancy. They were Emma
Rainey and Emma Baker. The costs
of the trial were assessed against
the women, and they were each placed
under a bond of 1901 for year, dur
ing which time they must not be
found treading the primrose path of
dalliance.
The Mayor also had before him one
Ed Sims, who was fined five dollars
for driving an automobile over fire
hose belonging to the city. Captain
Hudson requested the negro to drive
around the hose but the request was
disregarded. After crossing the hose
the negro tried 10 make getaway,
but Captain Hudson warned him that
his head might be used as a target
and the man stopped.

HOME AFTER
LONG ABSENCE

Mr.. Arthur f. Randle, of Washing
ton, d. c., was here yesterday on a
visit to scenes Of his boyhood days.
Mr.. Randle, Familiarity known as
"Tump," was born and reared on q
plantation near Artesia. Forty years
ago he left this county and went to
Washington City. At present he Is
president of one Of the street ear
lines in the Nations Capital. He es-
tablished town near Washington
City, which bears the name of Randle
Highlands.
Mr.. Randle says he made his first
trip to Columbus when he was boy
Of fifteen, and that he has never seen
city since then that looked as big to
him as Columbus did at that time.
He says he didn't know there was as
much water in the world as he saw
spread out before him in old Tombig-
bees bed.
Mr.. Randle's father and mother are
buried in the old Providence Gene
terry, near Billups Gate, and he made
trip there on Monday through re-
spect for their memory. His grand
father, the late Rev. Nathaniel Law
renee, came here from Providence, s.
c., at an early date, built the church
and named it Providence, in honor Of
his home town. The church long ago
fell into decay, but the burying ground
is still maintained 1t is on por-
tion Of the James f. Billups place.
Mr.. Randle left last night for his
home. He enjoyed his sojourn here.
but could find only a few persons he
knew in the olden days. He is q
brother of the late DR.. W. H. Randle,
formerly an eminent physician in
Philadelphia, who, in 1878, was sent
by President Hays to Memphis to help
stamp out the yellow fever epidemic.

PLANNING S. A.
ZONE CAMPAIGN
Columbians to Have Direction of
Work In Nine Counties
In State.

Hon, B. A. Lincoln, zone chairman
Of the Salvation Army drive to be
started May 10th, has organization
work well under way for the cam
paign. Funds for the maintainance
of the Salvation Army the coming
year are raised by a "drive" for
money, zone organizations taking care
of the work in various sections of
the country. The zone of which Mr..
Lincoln is chairman consists of nine
counties, as follows: Lowndes, Clay,
Oktibbeha, Chicasaw, Calhoun, Choc-
taw, Webster, Noxubee and Monroe.
The amount to be raised in this zone
is the same as last year, S12,5O0.
Within the next week the cam
campaign manager, Mr.. J. c. Refs,
will open headquarters in the office of
the Columbus Real Estate Company
in the Gilmer Hotel Block. A force
of clerks sufficiently large to take
care of the business will be employed,
and the work will be conducted in a
thoroughly business-like way.
By its splendid services in the great
world war the Salvation Army gained
a firm hold upon the affections of the
American people, and it should be an
easy matter to raise the amount de-
signated, and then some. "By their
fruits ye shall know them" and the
Salvation Army has certainly borne
fruit in the redemption of many
thousands of human beings. With
them spiritual welfare and physical
comfort go hand in hand.

LID HAS BEEN
 PUT ON WIDE . OPEN RYDER

. The lid has been clamped upon Hyder, the dance halls are closed and gambling and drinking have been de- clared illegal. When left, ten days ago, there were about 125 people at Hyder and about 100 at Stewart, -on the British Columbia side. If Hyder had remained wide open for three more months that place would have boasted of at least 10000 people, but now the last frontier town in Alaska is tight"
 That, in short, is the story of Hyder brought by H. A. Bowers, tonsoria] artist and mining man, who has re- turned from the South.
 Old sourdoughs would have enjoyed the sight in Hyder as had first" said MT Bowers "The town was wide open, whisky and to 16 per cent beer was being sold at the many bars Girls were there, too, either dancing or soliciting drinks at the bar. Pianos were thumped, roulette, blackjack and faro were being played.
 Then all of sudden John Roman former senator from Seward, was ap pointed deputy marshal, and he re , ceived word to close everything.
 Roman went around and told the various proprietors that the lid was or and to forget the past.
 Bang! went the lid, and hundreds could not get away from Hyder fast enough. Many went to Stewart, one mile away and just across the border There everything seems to be wide 6pen.
 'Hyder is in hard-rock territory IL is a different camp from the placer camps, and all who think of going there should be cautious"
