WHITFIELD WOULD GIVE JONES FARM
TO COUNTY FOR AGGIE HIGH SCHOOL
Big Plant Valued Nearly 100000 Would go Free Gift to
e County Together With Live Stock and 10
Acres of Land

Hon. H. L. Whitfield has offered the
magnificent Jones Farm with its
thousands Of dollars worth Of improve
ments and over hundred acres Of
land as free gift to Lowndes county
to be used as an Agricultural High
School.
Mr.. Whitfield's offer is without re-
strictions or reservations save the
county levy annually 2 mills for the
maintenance and support Of the in
stitution.
The plant is valued at approximate
aly sf00, 900. = =
Mr.. Whitfield stated to Dispatch
reporter that in addition to the land
totaling approximately 100 acres and
the handsome buildings he would give
a considerable amount of live stock,
farming implements and other Access
series which would give the schools
splendid start.
81 am not urging the matter upon
the county, but would like to see
Lowndes county have a fine agricul-
tural high school such as other coun-
ties have, and with the Jones farm
plant which l am offering the county,
Lowndes would have the finest agricul-
tural school in the state, and it would
be far ahead of many of the largest
in the South" said Mr.. Whitfield in
discussing his offer to the county.
"The farm was decided to me by Mr.
Jones and | feel that passing it on to
some educational use and purpose
would only be carrying out Mr.. Jones
original plans. And, now since there
seems to be little LIKELIHOOD of the
college accepting the farm for practi.
cal educational work in connection
with the college | should like to see
the county take hold of it as an agri'
cultural high school,"
It is ideally located for an agricul
tural school for the training of boys
is far enough in the country to have
all of the conditions and facilities
necessary to practical farm exper
fence and training, and close enough
to Columbus to have the advantage
of city, and yet be free from tn
sinister influence Of city life.
The land on which the farm is locat
ed is ideal for experiment purposes
its soil is characteristic of the soil o
the major portion Of the territor,
which the school would service.
On the farm are two of the hand
soonest and best equipped buildings /
the state of Mississippi and in tn
South for that matter. They are mod
ern and up-to-date in every respec
and equipped with every known mod
ern convenience, and the very best Q
everything to be had in the way Q
home equipment.
The buildings were equipped wit
the idea of modern and model HON
making in connection with the colleg
and with this end in view a speci'
representative was sent to New Yor
and other Eastern centers by M
Jones to personally superintend tf
purchase Of the necessary moder
equipment.

COL. JOHN p. MAYO TELLS
N. o. CLUB OF ADVAN-
TAGES TO BE HAD.
ON THE TOMBIGBEE
Tells of Government Engineers
Survey for Locks and Dams
Between Columbus and
and Dem0polis.

That the improvement Of the Tom
bigbee river between Columbus and
Demopclis, Alabama, Is not dead is
sue IL evidenced by the fact that it
was a lively subject Of discussion be-
fore the Lumbermen's Club in New
Orleans the past week, the discussion
having been inspired and led by Col.
John P. Mayo, former Columbian
and now connected with the govern
ment waterways system in New Or
leans.
The following item clipped from the
New Orleans Daily States will be
read with interest here:
with 3S barges in service, 81 of
them of 1000 tons capacity, five big
tow boats in operation and another
about to return to service and five
more boats Of 1900 horse power each
contracted for, Col. John P. Mayo of
the Mississippi Warrior Service ex-
poets to see a semi-weekly tow of
5000 tons of freight between New Or
leans and St. Louis on a transit time
averaging II days.
This was one of the chief points he
placed before the Lumbermen's Club
in talk at the weekly luncheon Tues
day. OF interest to the lumbermeH
was his recital Of the situation de-
veloped by the United States engi-
neers' report on the practicability of
placing six locks and dams in the
Tombigbee river between Demopolis.
Ala, and Columbus, Miss, which
would open billions Of feet of hard
woods and loblolly pine for exploita-
ton and marketing through New Or
leans.
Work Is Approved.
/ The engineers have approved this
work as wholly practicable but are
holding up final recommendation un-
til assured Of sufficient freight to
warrant the expenditure. An effort,
with every indication of success, is
being made to credit the freight car
ried between Columbus and New Or
leans and Mobile to that route as a
whole. When this is done, the way
will be cleared to start work on the
locks and dams.
Col Mayo reviewed the water traf-
fc situation in detail. He then de-
scribed the immediate and prospective
status of the equipment. He indicat-
ed that persistence in the present de-
velopment of the waterway traffic was
the only remedy for congestion on the
railroads.
1.-THE government does not care for
a monopoly of water traffic. he said,
"and every encouragement is extend
ed private enterprise. Several large
concerns now have their own barges
and power boats in commission and
others are considering this type Of
It'll = Al.s=A ...as.
