r. r. Officials
Visit Columbus

Columbus had the pleasure on
Thursday of entertaining three of the
prominent officials of the Mobile e.
Ohio Railroad, who were here on a
visit to Mr. j. r. Watson and renew
ing acquaintance among our people.
The officials were: Mr.. Stanton Cur
tbs, general passenger agent, Saint
Louis; Mr.. Walter Shipley, passenger
traffic manager, Saint Louis; Mr.. T.
j. Forrest, division passenger agent,
Montgomery, Ala.
In addition to exchanging friendly
greetings with Columbians, these gen
tlemen made inquiries about the ser
vice Of the road in an effort to remedy
any defects and make improvements
They all stated that they appreciate
Columbus and its splendid people,
and said it was always pleasure for
them to visit our city. II is not alto
gether rails and ties, roadbed and
rolling stock, that make railroad,
but a railroad is made largely by the
men who manage it, who run its
trains and who sell its tickets. In this
respect Columbus is particularly for
tunate in having such fine lot of
men to render unto her the railroad
service her requirements demand.

Professor LOsey
Interprets Lear

In the chapel of the Mississippi
State College for Women, on Friday
night, before large and apprecia-
tive audience of college folks and
townspeople, Professor Frederick d.
Losey, of New York, gave a reading
Of King Lear that was most inter
esting, effective and inspiring.
King Lear is considered by many
Shakespearean critics to be the
mightiest production of the Bard Of
Avon, although some prefer Hamlet
and others Macbeth. Professor Losey
threw his whole soul into the charac-
ter of Lear, bringing in the lesser
lights only to make the mad king
stand forth all the more brilliantly
He reached the climax Of his dramatic
power in Lear's apostrophe TO the
storm, and in the curse he called down
upon the head Of his daughter. Con
eril
Professor Losey's brief explanatory
notes from time to time were both
interesting and instructive. The fact
that several times during the read
ing, tears ran down his cheeks show
cd to what depth Of feeling the in
depreciation led him.
Last hight, Professor Losey gave d
reading Of "The Christmas Carol,
which was greatly enjoyed by another
large audience.
Professor Losev. who is a close per-
sonsl friend Of Doctor Lawrence G.
Painter. has been in Columbus before,
and expressed great pleasure at being
granted the privilege Of returning to
our city. He Is a remarkable actor,
and also a most agreeable and COM
ranio1able gentleman.

Judge I. b. Carroll
Ornament To Bench

4 I'm this issue, the Dispatch carries
the announcement of Judge Thos. Il.
Carroll. Of Starkvillc, as n candidate
for the office Of Circuit Judge of the
10th Judicial District of Mississippi.
Judge Carroll was first appointed
10 the Circuit Court Bench in 1910 and
has since been twice elected. When
his present term expires in January,
1923, he viii have served the people
Of this District for twelve years. Dur
ing that time his fidelity to duty his
economical administration of judicial
affairs, his uniform courtesy TO
litigants, lawyers and officers, his
fair, impartial and able decisions,
makes words of commentator to the
people who know him SO well. quite
unnecessary. He has administered
Justice without respect 10 persons: he
has consistently done equal rights %
The poor and the rich and he has
faithfully and impartially discharged
the duties incident to his high and
responsible office.
We are reliably informed that Judge
CAROLS record in the Supreme Court
of Mississippi is exceptional in that
he has been reversed less than any
judge occupying the circuit bench for
the same time, in a generation. His
judicial ermine has been worn with
dignity, and after these years 1t is
and pure; he is an ona-
ment TO the bench, and the people Of
the five counties composing the Die
trict are proud Of his record. II Is a
genuine pleasure for US 70 commend
him 10 the people Of Lowndes. Clay.

MUIR EFT e.

William Farnum, the popular Will
liam Fox star, who is now appearing
at the Murrette Theatre in His
Greatest Sacrifice" and his director.
]. Gordon Edwards, are old friends,
having first known each other when
both began their careers on the stage
in New York. Mr.. Edwards urged Mr..
Farnum to star for Mr.. Fox some four
or five years ago. Mr.. Edwards is the
oldest man, in time Of service, that
Mr.. Fox has on his directorial staff,
While Mr. Farnum has a similar dis
tinction among the Fox stars.
Mr.. Edwards, who has directed
William Farnum in a number of the
latter's most successful Fox pictures,
travelled over Europe years ago to
learn all there was to learn about the
art Of making motion pictures. He
took his journey when the Fox COM
pany was formed, and came back with
a wealth of information that gave to
Fox production a splendid start, which
has carried it to heights where it
yields first place to no other company.
Mr. Edwards has made forty-five pic
lures for Mr.. Fox, including Cleo
patra" and "Salome"
MURRAY.
William Russell, star of the William
Fox photoplay Colorado Pluck" now
showing at the Murray Theatre, sur.
prised several of the younger mem
bers of the cast while certain scenes
picturing New York's famous Broad
Way were being made. Russell's abil.
ity to portray Western roles had given
rise to the general belief that he was
a native of the country of mines and
ranches. But he showed such familiar
ity with Broadway theatres, stores and
hotels that one of the players ventured
TO ask how often the star had visited
Gotham
Il have visited the town several
times" laughed Russell. My first
visit was quite while ago; that is
