TWO SHOWS

Miss Blue Eyes" and PUCK and
Judge" two musical comedies, played
at the Opera House on Thursday and
Friday evenings, respectively. Good
sized audiences witnessed both Of the
performances.
Miss Blue Eyes" the show rated as
the higher class of the two, played to
nearly a filled house, and had an eX-
cellent chorus, some good singers and
dancers, but generally the real good
singing and dancing was confined to
individuals. By far the best dancer
was LaRea Goodrich. The scene
"Whirlwind Dancers" Miss Goodrich
and George Lamb, was excellent.
In "Puck and Judge there was a
riot of fun and a lot of pretty cos
umes-pretty but petite, especially
the bathing girl chorus in their stun
ming, fetching, just imported Partisan
seashore creations. But notwithstand-
ing all that, the fat twins pulled some
pretty good stuff, and all in all it was
considered a pretty good show.

Presbyterian Vestibule
Gives Way Under Strain

A rather serious accident occurred
at the First Presbyterian Church last
Wednesday evening at nine o'clock,
following the Cope-Turner wedding.
The vestibule at the southeast en-.
trance of the church crashed to the
ground, distance of four or five feet
under the weight of the crowd on it.
The bridal party had just emerged
from the church, and the people were
following. There were probably a
dozen people on the vestibule when
the supporting timbers gave way and
they were all precipitated to the
ground below. The timbers had rot
ted out and were unable to stand the
weight on them.
Mrs. G. r. Neuman was among the
unfortunate and tainted from the
shock, as did college girl. Most of
those who fell suffered few minor
bruises, but no one, fortunately, was
seriously injured. The accident Great
ed great excitement for awhile, but
after it was learned that no one was
seriously injured the excitement rap
idly subsidized.

played on Mary Jane Stansel, negro
woman residing on Ninth Avenue ant

noon, two negro men operating the
game and relieving her of 5000 il
cash.
The incident occurred near the First
Baptist Church at 1890 o'clock or
Thursday afternoon, according to the
story she told the police. A negro en-
gagged her in conversation, and as the
two walked along the street they OBJ
served another negro pick up a wal
let near them. Argument followed as
to the ownership when it was found
that the wallet contained 5000 in large
bills and ended in the three agreeing
to equally divide the money, each to
receive 5000. Change could not be
made, and the negro woman produced
5000 in cash, with which the two ne
gro men managed to get away, to-
gether with what they already had.
This is the fourth instance of this
game having been worked successfully
in Columbus in recent months, all the
others being of similar nature. Police

DON'T GET TAGGED.

The sheriff is preparing a round
ing-up campaign of all automobiles
in the county which have not put on
their 1920 license number tags. Some
owners, the sheriff's office is advised
purchase tags and put them under the
seats of the car or even in some in
stances leave them at home. Sheriff
C. w. West is determined that all cars
must be equipped with proper tags
and those not complying will be PEN
allied.
1t is thought that unless many auto
owners get busy and attend to this
little detail constables and police Off

hending neglectful auto owners and

City Council
Discusses Leases

Besides routine business before the
City Council at the meetings held on
Monday and Wednesday evenings at
the City Hall, the renewal Of Six
teenth Section leases loomed up again
before that body, and as a result much
discussion was had but nothing defin-
ite as to proper procedure on the part
Of the city was determined.
Propositions Of making plats, alb
stracts, and various other forms for
the preparing and issuing Of lease
deeds were gone over by the mayor
councilmen, attorneys, plain citizens
and other interested persons, without
accurately arriving at any conclusion
Expense seemed to be the biggest OBJ
stacle, and the council was Of the opn.
ion that means of making that obsta.
Gle smaller must be found.
The Finance Committee and Coun-
Gilman Vaughan were finally appoint.
ed to work out the details Of the prob
lem and report at a specially calico
meeting.
Mayor McClanahaV remarked tha'
inasmuch as this question comes W
only every SO years, he is not very
familiar with previous proceedings in
connection with Sixteenth Section
leases, and hopes that after the pres
ent problem is finished it won't come
up again during his administration.

LARGE INDUSTRY
DEVELOPING HERE
ANOTHER BIG GRAVEL COM
PANY ORGANIZED TO
DEVELOP DEPOSITS
NEAR COLUMBUS.
CONCRETE GRAVEL
BOwlin Gravel Pits And Owen
Land South of Columbus
Will Be DevelOped-The
Contract Closed.

Another important industry for CO.
lumbus has been assured.
The immense gravel deposits of this
section are to be developed. In adj
dition to the road gravel to be put or
the market from the Armstrong place
in the New Hope neighborhood, now
comes the developing of the large con-
crete gravel area south of Columbus
Contract has been closed by Mr.
Henry Bowlin and his wife, Mrs. Lucy
B. Bowlin, whereby Mr.. E. H, Reeder
of Greenville, is to mine the gravel
and sand on approximately two hun
dred and f1-y acres Of land south OF
this city. The land is what is known
as the Poleman place of 66 acres, and
1876 acres recently purchased by Mr.
Bowln from Mr.. 7. G. Owen.
Mr.. Reeder is associated with large
capitalists in the Delta, and the COM
pany which is acquiring the right to
mine the property is one of the strong
est in the South. The product will be
employed in the construction of con-
crete roads and other cement work
throughout that section of the state
The company which will succeed
Mr.. Reeder in the development Of the
property will install large facilities fol-
the accomplishment of their work. A
plant guaranteed to 10 Q twenty-five
cars a day will be installed, large sid
ings will be laid, and two immense
steam shovels will be installed. Work
on the plant will begin at once, and 1t
is expected that the company will DC
shipping their product all over the
state within few months.
This makes the second large gravel
company to begin operations IN this
section, the King Construction Com.
pany now being engaged in building
their plant to develop the Armstrong
gravel east of this city. This gravel
is very fine product for the construc-
ton of roads, being a good mixture of
clay and gravel, which binds well
when applied on roads. The property
south of Columbus is a concrete prop
ostion with a mixture of sand which
makes it especially valuable for CON
crete work.

PAVING STOPPED AGAIN

Paving of Columbus streets has
stopped again. If it isn't one thing
it is another. This time it is the ce-

ment. The last of the supply on hand
gave out Friday just above the post
office, and although Mr.. H. c. Terry
in charge of the paving, is expecting
three car loads to arrive any day, un'
less they come today there won't be
any concrete spread tomorrow.
After finishing the east side of Mar
ket Street, as far as the postoffice, the
big mixer and workmen will move To
North Market Street.

here had opened his eyes to a new
thought as to the splendidness of its
work.
Mr.. J. L. Cox, of Pamela, said very
frankly that since he had gotten a
real view of the college he considered
it the greatest institution in the state
by far, and that he was for making
it the largest also, not only in the
state but in theSouth. Replying to
Mr.. Whitfield's request for raise Of
his estimate from $4,000 to S60,00C
to build home for fifty teachers, Mr.
Cox said that now was the time to
make it 100000 and build a home
for 100 teachers to provide for the
certain growth in the future. He also
spoke as in favor Of appropriating adj
equate funds to double he present
capac;t".
Senator John Il. Perkins, Of Oktib-
beha, declaring there wall never be a
consolidation of colleges, made a sole
and common-sense plea 10 his brother
Legislators to cooperate with him in
helping to build up the state
institutions.
Hon. Lamar Q. c. Williams, Of
Newton, oratorically declared that in
the then surroundings he had received
a new vision of his broader duties to-
ward the Mississippi State College for
Women.
Mr.. NJ. L. Alexander, Of Jasper
said that this visit was the first time
he had been made to believe that he
could be Of some real use to the state

louSness of an attempt to change the
old |. |. and c. "You cannot take
this prairie rose and transplant il
on the mud banks Of the Pearl River
and have it live" he said.
Mr.. S. B. Elliott, of Grenada, spoke
as for increasing the college appropri-
ations materially.
Governor Sheldon, one Of the au-
thors Of the Zelar-Sheldon bill, made
a short address, in which he stated
that he was perfectly willing to leave
the question of the college to the
mothers and the students themselves.
That" he said, "is the only fair way
although my dream Of one truly great
university persists in staying with
me-"

Mr. John Frcrson, Of the local bar

any other thing could have done, on
account Of the minute inspection and

Hon. Guy J. Rencher, Of Kemper
stated that as for the cities in which
the various colleges are located, it
would put pep in Oxford and Stark
Vile, but would put Jamaica ginger in
Columbus. He further added that the
idea of moving the institutions was
not logical, Just from the fact alone
that Jackson is always seething po-

promised that if the finance commit

Mr.. S. {. Trammel also Of KEN

college need have no fear it would
