Tonnage of the c.. e. &fN.-W:::
A Yorkville business man a.. few
days ago requested the Yorkville En-
quirer to ascertain the amount of tom
mage handled by the C. 6 NV. rail-
road during the year 1920. Here are
the figures: For the whole line: $685.
l26 tons. Yorkville received 1852
tons and forwarded 1888 tons. Glover
received 1880 tons and forwarded 81
1886 tons. The bulk of the tonnage for
warded by both iYorkvillc and Clover
was from the cotton and oil mills.
Sewer Bond Issue Dead.
Advocates Of a bond issue in the
town Of Clover for the construction Of
a sewer system have abandoned their
petition to the town council asking for
an election on the question. It de-
vcloped that the advocates Of the
proposition originally had a majority
of the white freeholders on the petit
tion asking for an election. Later
several names were withdrawn. Sigma
lures of negro freeholders were not
solicited. Due to the fact that so much
opposition to the proposition developed
il was decided best to drop the issue.

ground for the purpose, ,,of inspecting
the conditions there. She found the

has been apparently on the brink OF
civil war because Of the differences be-
tween the coal miners and their en-
ployers. The old wage and hour con-
trovcrsy is still a long way from set
tlcment. Upon the termination OF the
patched up agreement following the
armisticc. tho mine operators began
moving to reduce the wages Of the
miners and the miners Immediately be-
gan to grow ugly. They issued ultima
tums to the effect that their demands
had to be complied with and that was
all there was to it. The miners went
out Il few days ago, and although at
first it was thought that they would
keep thcir, pumps running%to keep the
mines clear Of water Iitssoqr :de1sl loi'ed
that cthey haASao sueh; ihtentios The
pumps in most OF tho: +minos = were
stopped. Lloyd George arranged for
another conference between the miners
and the mine operators. but stipulated
that the pumps must be started as a
condition. The miners declined to ac-
cedc. and then, it seems it was ar
ranged that the conference would go
OH anyway; but as yet no settlement
has been reached. Exclusive of the
million and Il quarter miners who have
been locked out, there arc two million
people out of employment in England,
and communists are busy urging soviet
organization and armed resistance.
Also the workers are being advised to
seize the biggest industries and opcr-
ate them as has been done in Italy.
Their principal argument is that Lloyd
George is acting under Instructions
from the capitalists and is giving gov
rrnmcnt backing to Il concerted move
Of the employers 10 force down mil
lions Of men below the poverty line in
order TO win back. Great Brita!n's for
eign trade. The gravity Of the sltua-
ton lies in the fact that not only arc
two million people now unemployed
and Il million and Il quarter OF miners
locked out, but that all arc beginning
TO pay heed to the talk of tho Com
muuiSts. Full-timc workers in various
industries are coming around tn the
opinion that they will also have to join
in the fight to protect their own wages
from the employers raids. The view o1
the workers Is that while wages slowly
followed the rise in the cost OF living,
the employers now want the fall In
wages to keep ahead Of the slow decline
in the cost Of living. The great fear OF
people not in sympathy with the miners
is that the railroad and transportation
workers will join the miners, and Wllat
will happcn then no man can tell. The
government has sent troops into the
coal fields with tanks and machine
guns and the city Of London is an
armed camp. Business of all kinds Is
denlolalized and the people arc in sus-
pensc as to what may happen next
The most hopeful feature of the Sltu;L-
tiun seems to hc that this kind Of thing
has been more or less cllaril ctcriStic OF
the British people throughout the
whole history Of the country. Many Il
time before in the past have the peo-
pie been similarly disturbed, and al
though the disturbances have fire.

BOOKS AND THE CENTENNIAL

! In keeping informed regarding occurrences OF
history one must of necessity resort to books to
find narration Of past events" In ascertain
ing what had taken place in Columbus during the
past century, and in the study of the lives of the
men and women who laid the foundation upon
which our beautiful city rests, reference was most
frequently made to "A History of Columbus, Mis-
Isissipp During the Nineteenth Century" by the
late Doctor William Lowndes Lipscomb.
Seated at the fireside in his home or on the
spacious front gallery, Doctor Lipscomb dictated
ito his daughter, the talented and cultured Mrs.
Laura Lpscomb Beard, this remarkable history
of the town he loved so well. Although he was
nearly eighty years of age, and with his eyes clos
ed forever to earthly things, his mind was clear
and bright and his memory as distinct as when he
went among his fellows ministering with tender
touch to their ills and Affections.
Doctor Lipscomb was born in Alabama, in 1928,
but came with his parents to Columbus four years
later and dweIt here until an angel band came
from high heaven to carry him home. For seven
ty-siX year he was a citizen of Columbus, and he
wrote his history not so much from hearsay as
from personal observation. The facts set out in
his history, not seen by him, were verified by
and careful research.
Columbus owes a great debt of gratitude to
Doctor Lipscomb and to his devoted and patient
daughter for the preservation of historical facts
in the book which was so much used during the
weeks immediately prior to the Centennial cee-
bration. The labor of this remarkably gifted
man, whose precious memory is one of the most
priceless possessions of Lowndes County, added
very greatly to the enjoyment of the celebration
by establishing in the minds of our citizens &C
curate knowledge of people and events of the
early days.

DULL AND BRILLIANT YOUTHS

He is not exceptional Some boys

the intelligence is too vivacious and

Missed Something.

Thomas, the fve-year-old son Of q
northern Indiana editor, attended a
communion service with his parents
last Sunday. The service was long,
and the editor and his family were in
the last group that went to the altar,
Thomas went along. He had been
curious.
Following the service there was no
comment from Thomas until lie found
his Aunt Edith, a member of another
church waiting in the editors auto
outside, to so to dinner with them.
"oh, Auntie Edith" he chortled,
"you missed something"
"Nhy, what was it?' was her indul-
gent question.

SHAKESPEARE Is AL WRONG
Police Judge Rules World lsn't Stage,
After Al, and Fines Woman I'M
personator OF Men.

Police officers and detectives can
spot the shifty eye Of pickpocket,
the heavy jaw OF stick-up man-per-
haps--nnd the other peculiar physical
characteristics Of the male clan Of
crime. But 1t takes a policewoman
TO detect suspicious characters by
their dress. Police routine and discl-
pline cannot, apparently, wear of the
keen instinct OF a woman for the
style of toque, the set Of a sash,
and the hang Of outer garments in
the back.
Recently Bella de Turk walked down
town. She got as far as the post
Office. In so doing she probably
passed several policemen who marked
no sign Of suspicious character IN the
passerby. But at the post Office stood
Mrs Dollle Fisher and Miss Emily
Greer, polIcewomen. The eyes Of the
pollcewomen discerned at once that
the figure Of the gentleman walking
by would have been set off TO much
greater advantage had he worn fem
mime dress, says the columbus dis
patch SO they accosted him and
found 1t was her. And Miss De Turk,
fitted out in mans zap, coat and
trousers and other apparel to match,
took ride to the police station with
Mrs. Fisher and Miss Greer. There
she refused to solve the riddle Of her
masculine attire and was released on
bond.
Il am an impersonator Of men char
acters, appearing at the movie thea
teFs," she told the court. 1t then fol-
lowed that she had neglected TO change
back into feminine dress after the
show. Judge Berry fined her $50
and costs for the oversight and bade
her remember that Shakespeare to the
contrary notwithstanding, all the
worlds not stage. 49,
