FIRE RISK BUSINESS
To Be Solicited In All Sections
of the State.-Fine Pros
poets for a Tremendous
Business.

According to plans OF the Column
bus Insurance and Mortgage Company
Columbus is destined to play an i'm
portant part in bringing relief to the
fire insurance situation in Mississippi.
The past week the directors of the
Columbus Insurance and Mortgage
Company outlined plans Tor fncreas-
rag the companys capital stock and
for the expansion and enlargement of
its facilities for writing insurance.
1t is planned to launch out into the
fire Insurance business on an extern
sive scale with agencies in all sections
of the State.
Heretofore the company has been
engaged only in local insurance bust
ness. With its proposed enlarged
facilities the company proposes to do
an extensive fire insurance business
throughout the State, and every facil-
ity and safeguard and protection for
the policy holders will be provided
pursuant to law.
The company has been in business
since 1852. 1t weathercd the storm
stress of the Civil War and Recon
struction periods, and it has stood the
, the test of all the monetary stringen-
cies this county has known. There is
no institution in the South that stands
higher in integrity and reliability than
the local company.
| With men of large affairs direct
ing it's destinies, men of wide exper-
iience in all business relations and as.
sociations the company should at once
take front rank m the insurance fielc
in this State and banks and trust com.
panies and large business concerns
should in their own interest lend as
sistance to put this company in the
forefront of fire insurance.
Entering the field at an orportune
time, in the midst of the fire in,
surance muddle which has driver
practically all of the fire insurance
companies from the State, officers OF
the institution feel that they are seiz-
ing an opportunity to expand and en-
large its business, and at the same
time render an invaluable service tC
the people of the State in bringing
partial relief to a situation which
seems to be hopelessly involved in
litigation and which has seriously
,jeopardized every business interest ir
the State.
There will be a meeting of the stock
holders fthe company next Friday
at which time formal action on the
proposed expansion of the banks
facilities for handling fire insurance
will be taken.

THEM IN JUSTIFICATION
OF THEIR ACTION.
A DETAILED REPORT
Reasons For Declaring Superin-

In Lengthy Statement
Published In Full.

+ In justice to our readers and to the
public and to both sides Of the school
controversy the Dispatch this morn
ing publishes herewith the full state.
ment Of the board of school trustees
in which they set forth reasons in sub
stantiation for their action in de-
claring the office of superintendent Of
/ city schools vacant.
/ Elsewhere in this issue is published
/ in full the reply to the statement Of
the trustees, which reply is the basis
of resolution adopted at the mass
meeting Of citizens held last Tuesday
night.
In fairness and justice to all parties
concerned and in accord with the fun
ctions Of a newspaper as we see it, we
present both sides of the controversy
fairly and impartially.
The full statement of the trustees
follows:
To the Citizens and Patrons Of the
Schools Of the Columbus School Dis
Itrict: 4 A
There having been considerable
agitation as to, the situation of the
schools Of this school district, caused
by the action Of majority of the
Board of school directors of said dis
trict declaring the position of SUI
perintendent of public schools Of the
district vacant, we the undersigned
directors of said schools, believing
that the people should know some
of the conditions existing in the
schools whereby your directors were
justified in declaring the position of
Superintendent vacant, hereby pre-
sent few concrete facts for your
consideration.
Mr.. Meadows has publicly express
ed himself as favoring in all cases
the employment of out-of-town
teachers in place of home applicants
regardless of the efficiency of the
home applicants. Such expressions
were made at meetings of Board of
Mayor and City Council and in the
presence of many individuals. The
records show the discrimination
against home applicants for positions
as teachers m the following: During
the school session of 19i5-16 there
was only one teacher outside Of
Lowndes County teaching in the pub
/ lie schools of this district; during
i the session of 1867 there were
four teachers outside of Lowndes
County teaching in our schools; dur
ing the session of 1918 the first
year Mr.. Meadows was superinten-
dent there were six teachers outside
Lowndes County teaching in our
schools; during the session of 1919
20 there were thirteen teachers out
side of Lowndes County teaching in
our schools; during the session of
1920-21 the present session, there
are twenty tweachers outside the
County teaching in our schools.
We demand nothing regarding en-
ploying home teachers, unless they
are equal or superior in efficiency of
the teachers from out Of our midst
who teach in our schools, but believe
where such is the case, preference
should be given to Mississippi teach
Iers.
