Our hearts were made sad on Mon
day the 3Oth Of May. when we learned
Of the death Of Mr.. T. A. Cook which
occurred at his home in the New
Salem Community: He will be great
ly missed in the community as we'll as
in his home. for he was such a grand
and noble man. lie was a leader in
music and it was a great pleasure TO
him TO join his voice in the dear old
songs his father and mother used to
sing. But he has gone now to sing
in the beautiful home where singing
never ceases and trouble comes no
more. He viii be missed so much on
the First Sunday in July at the Sac

he was always present there on that
day to lead a1d sing the songs that he
loved so well. But this earthly loss Is
Heavens eternal gain. We extend

HERE IS THE SPIRIT

From North Carrollton, Mississippi there to the
desk of the editor of The Dispatch yesterday unusual
letter
1t is from former Columbian Mr.. j. f. Miller. II
reveals unusual spirit of loyalty to the old home town.
and pride and interest in its welfare.
Columbus is on the jackson Highway, but few of us
know it these days The enthusiasm which at
tended the completion of the big highway two or three
years ago seems to have died down
But, anyway the big North and South artery
of travel Mr. Miller knows it, and he is the alert
to help his home town citizen of North Carrolton is
planning trip to Louisville KY. Other cities have pointed
out him the advantages of making the trip through
their communities Mr. Miller found that the biggest and
best route from Mississippi to Louisville being

We have always contended that the Jackson Highway is
going to to Columbus just what make it
Just the proportion that boost it, and popularize it,
and induce people to travel it, and extend courteses and
attentions to people who do travel along the big high
way, in that proportion only will profit by it.
Let Columbans catch the spirit that Dir. Miller
manifests And let's boost the jackson Highway.

Washington real estate, who was sued
July l by ]. NJ. Parker and c. B.
Hazard for S31 $50 In commissions for
tho alleged sale of real estate, denied
today. in an answer and demurrer to
the bill that he is inserted as claimed.
Parker and Hazard claimed that
Lake engaged them to effect an ex-
change Of the Denver, Balfour, Auro-
ra-Coronado and Dupont apartments
for a farm in Montgomery county
known as Foreston Manor and owned
by Fred Hardesty, ana was to pay
them a commission Of $4,000.
Lake now declares that the deal
was never put through because Har-
desty's property was too heavily in
numbered to allow him to transfer the
title. The two statesmen also claimed
a commission Of s23,150 on another
deal to sell or exchange the apartment
houses. In answer to this claim, Lake
declares that he never at any time
ever agreed to pay more than IS 900
In commissions on any deal involving
these properties. Lake also attacks
the bill on the ground that 1t does
not set forth that any demand for the
money was ever made.
The apartment houses involved are
estimated to be worth a total of S725.-
900. Mr.. Lake is at present in Euor-
ope with his family. Attorney Charles

piers and all other property of the
Mall Line.
A similar Injunction, seeking re-
lease Of two ships now tied up on the
Jersey side Of the river. was held for
consideration.
This Jersey action was merely a
precautionary measure. 1t was ex
planned by the Mail Company, az
Justice Burr's order Is binding on all
the ships involved.
Issuance of the injunction by
Justice Burr was regarded as the most
significant development OF a day,
which brought a series of setbacks
to the Shipping Board.
Board officials showed their sur.
prise at the swift stroke by counsel
for the company, De Lancey Ntcoll,
OF Nicon, Anable. Fuller & Sullivan,
and Bainbridge Colby. former member
OF the Shipping Board and former
Secretary OF State Of tho United
M Officials Co-defendants.
II was apparent that the Shipping
Board had expected the attack to be
launched in the Federal courts. The
board was taken on the flank. so to
speak.
NicolI and Colby filed moving papers
that made the members Of the Ship
ping Board. j. b. Small. vice presi-
dent of the Emergency Fleet Corpo'
ration: Elmer Schlessingerr counsel Tor
the Shipping Board, and United States
Marshal Mccarthy; the Emergencv
Fleet Corporation. and the United
American Lines co-defendants In the
action.
It was set forth among other things
that the Shipping Board had "wilfully
or mistakenly" misrepresented various
facts concerning the ships turned over
to the plaintiff company.
=, Sid Ship Was Good.
It was alleged. for instance, that the
Shipping Board had represented that
the George Washington, one OF the
vessels in dispute, was an oil burnes
in such condition that 1t might be got
into commission within a few days.
The papers set forth that the George
Washington is an oil burner and that
the plaintiff company found 1t In such
condition that three months, at least
would be necessary to get 1t into
proper shape.
When he came from the chambers
from which reporters were barred at
the request of Nicoll, Colby said that
the action of the Shipping Board in
seizing the ships was arbitrary and
without license or warrant by law
The former Secretary of State was
most emphatic in his statement that
such action as that followed by the
Shipping Board was the sort that
might be termed mob rule" He said
there was nothing in the law that
gave a United States marshal power
to seize and hold property without
proper authority from a court of law.
The order to show cause why the
Injunction should not be made per-
manent until the litigation is settled
was made returnable in Part 1 Of the

WORK, AND NOT WHINING
 WILL WIN

There is no doubt but there is a financial strain throughout the country, and the depression seems to be general. But people who have red~ blood in their veins, with perseverance and determinatio will again forge to the front. Ia the course Of time this financial depression will fade into oblivion to a great extent, if people will do their duty. The American people know what it is to be in the gulf of ad versity, and they also know how to battle and fight the waves of misfortune, but they do not know how to give up or surrender. They know that work and economy are the only win hing factors in the affairs of modern life. If man goes down and stays down it is generally because he does not avail him. self of his intellectual faculties and physical resources. It does no good to grieve over split milk, but the proper thing to do is to get up and try to catch another COW. For the past few years the country has had too many customers and too few producers, which always has a tendency to cause financial strain throughout the entire world. But the people of Santa Cruz county have but little to complain of. Times are really not hard here. It is true they might be better, and they will be in a very short time. Exten- sive road work will be started up in all parts of the county in a very short time, and already the mining outlook is beginning to look more hopeful. In less than six months the hills and mountains will be like busy bee hives, money will be plentiful and men will be correspondingly happy and contented. We have wonderful resources upon which to draw and all that is needed is capital to develop these re sources. And this capital is going to be forthcoming. Just watch your steering gear and keep in the middle of the road Patagonian.
