 Patti, whose youth was just bud ding into womanhood, sang one even ing in one of the leading salons of the Champs E1ysees. Among the audience was Jenny Lind: then rather an aged woman After the applause that greeted the conclusion of Paths singing had subsided. the Swedish singer approached Mime. rati and congratulated her but not without making reserves as to cer- tain detail of omission and slight criticism of certain note.
 tI feel that I may tell you this without offense,'' she added; because you see, am Jenny Lind. Disp1eased by the reproach, Patti replied drily:\ "Oh, yes, have heard

900 NAMES ON
CITY POLL BOOKS

Coincident with the warming up Of
city politics there has been much re-
gistering Of voters on the city elect
ion books within the past few days.
Some Of those intensely interested
maintained that there had been at
least 400 or perhaps 500 new names
added to the city's poll lists within
the past few weeks. Many asserted
that the heavy registering was unpre-
condented and would back off the
boards all former doings Of the kind,
so Dispatch reporter went down to
the city marshal's office and counted
them. BY actual count there had
been 154 new registrations.
There are enough qualified voters
in the city to cast a total Of 900 bal
lots or more and il is expected that
900 will be very near the figure in
the coming municipal primaries.
The rolls will be purged in the next
few days.

1t is thought that this matter viii

strongly in favor Of employing ar

COLUMBUS GETS
new INDUSTRIES
BIG SAW MILL AND PLAN.
ING MILL WILL BE
ERECTED HERE
SOON.
WORK is STARTED
Will Go Up On Old Stove Works
Site-Southen Lumber and
Export Company are
Builders.

Erection Of two new manufacturing
plants in Columbus began Friday
One is big sawmill that will have a
capacity Of cutting 100, 900 feet os
yellow pine lumber per day and tho
other is a modern planning mill. Tho
site or these is on the old stove
foundry place east of the Southern
railroad station and the promoter,
owner and operator is the Southern
Lumber and Export Company.
Quick action on the part Of Mr.. S.
p. Matthews, owner of the company,
characterized the beginning of the
construction Of the mills. 1t can bo
told in a short sentence: Thursday
he closed deal for the property to
build on and Friday he started lab
orers to work building the mills.
Practically all the machinery has
been purchased, states Mr.. Matthews,
and he is pushing construction in an
effort to have the mills completed
within sixty days. This is remark
ably short period Of time in which to
carry through to completion a project
as large as this one but Mr.. Matthews
himself is on the ground and with Mr.
f. II. Badger, local manager, expects
to 60 after the work with vim and
vigor and as many laborers as can ba
efficiently used and have the yellow
pine saw mill and the planning mill
both buzzing by the time the next
two months have been torn from the
calendar of 1920.
The plan to build these mills in Col.
umbus and invest more money In tim
Der in this community was decided up
orgsfter the 8. them Nnr,her a r
port Company had been operating in
this section for four years. They
already have four mills within ra-
dius of Is miles Of this city and have
operated an assembling yard in the
city on the grounds Of the Bell Lum-
Der & Manufacturing Co. In addi.
tion to shipping their own lumber
they have used the output Of num-
Der of other mills and have had
large business at their yards. North
ern headquarters Of the Southern
Lumber & Export Company is in In
dianopolis, Ind.
In commenting on their new pro-
ject Mr.. Matthews stated that he has
realized for sometime the many advan-
tages Of Columbus as a manufacture
ing center and says that with the adj
dition Of the new mills il should be an
easy matter for the Columbus Cham
Der Of Commerce to induce other
manufacturing industries to locate
here, especially are the conditions
ideal for furniture factory and
shaping mill in this city.

FLU SITUATION
is UNCERTAIN
Increase In Cases Not Alarming. But
Caution Is Urged.

The flu situation in Columbus was
carefully canvassed at a meeting Of
the city board Of health yesterday
afternoon, and the question of closing
public meeting places came up foi
serious and thoughtful consideration
After going over the situation thor
oughly it was decided not to close up
the city for the present at least.
The board will meet daily and viii
keep close watch on the situation
and if there is a material increase il
new cases the board will promptly take
drastic steps TO curb the situation.
There was difference Of opinion as
to the necessity Of closing, DR.. Edwar6
Lehmberg having been confirmed il
the opinion that the closing order
should be issued.
The board will safeguard the pub.
lie interest carefully and the minute
the situation warrants every known
method, however drastic they may be
will be invoked.
Wednesday there were Il eases
Thursday IA, Friday 10 and Saturday
Is.

TRUCK SERVICE
TO BIRMINGHAM
SHIP BY TRUCK SERVICE TO
BE INAUGURATED BE-
TWEEN HERE AND
MAGIC CITY.
TWO TRUCKS TORUN
Service Each Way Daily-Will
Haul Produce and Freight
C0mm0dities-Davis TO
Put In Service.


Daily moter transport service from
Columbus to Birmingham, distance
Of los miles, will in all probability be
reality in the very near future.
Messrs. w. NJ. Davis and his son,
w. B. Davis, proprietors of the Dixie
Garage in this city are planning
begin soon the operation of two big
five-ton motor trucks between these
.wo cities and state that the trucks
for the service have been ordered and
actual operation will begin just as
soon as weather and road conditions
permit.
While this system is being used ex-
tensivcly in northern states it will be
comparatively new to this immediate
section and many benefits of value to
residents Of both cities and people
along the route will result Mer-
,handise from one city to the other
and from the towns along the high
way can be delivered with greater
Dromptness. Farmers living along
the route can get poultry, eggs, milk,
butter and other farm products to
market quickly so this service will be
great boon to them.
Practically all the roads Of the 105
niles between here and Birmingham
are rock on concrete with the cxcep-
ton Of about ten miles between here
and Tuscaloosa and it is expected
that this stretch will soon be repaired
and built up to first class condition.
The plan is for each of the two
trucks to make one way trip each
day One will leave hero in the carly
morning for Birmingham, pick up
produce and merchandise all along
the way an,..-4i..asAl tiic night Ia the
Alabama city. The next morning it
will leave Birmingham and travel to-
ward Columbus, meeting and passing
the truck that left Columbus that
morning also, thereby keeping a truck
going each way every day.
The men behind this progressive
movement have been residents in this
community for eight years and are
well knwon. Mr.. w. NJ. Davis is
successful farmer and business man
living until recently about two miles
southeast Of this city. Mr., w. b,
Davis is an expert all-around mecha-
mic and had twelve years experience
at that trade, largely in automobile
repair work A few weeks ago they
purchased the j. r. White garage and
have been successfully operating and
improving that business.
When in operation this truck SER
vice is practically assured of suffi-
cicnt business TO make it profitable
to the owners and the service will be
enthusiastically welcomed by the
many prospective patrons in Colum-
bus, in Birmingham and the hundreds
along the route between the two
cities.
