HEAVY LOSES
ANTICIPATED In
PRINTERS STRIKE
(By The Associated rress)

NEW YORK, April 2O.-Millions
of dollars will be lost to American
labor and business through the print
ers' strike scheduled to become ma
tion-wide on May 1. Something near
10000 establishments will be affect
ed, the annual wages Of whose en-
ployes in the printing end alone ag-
gregate approximately $lOO,OOO,OOO.
Only the newspapers will escape the
walkout, they having acceded to the
union demands some months ago.
Business will Be hit specially hard
if the strike is of long duration, and
this seems altogether probable to re-
suit. The great volume Of work that
in ordinary times keeps these 10000
plants in active operation will be cut
off summarily. And it is printing that
In normal times il essential to the
success of the concern that buys it.
Business is generally seeking way
out.
In the outlaw strike here some is
months ago one national magazine re
sorted to typewriting its matter and

plates for printing. This will not be
/ possible this time as engravers and
stereotypers will be affected as well
as compositors. Nor will they be able
co have their printing done in other
cities, as many other did, this walk
out being general.
During the former strikes two New
York journals got their publications
out on time by using multigraphs and
reducing the size of their pages. They
are planning to do this again, and
numerous others will doubtless fol
low suit, provided they can get the
machines. The manufacturers. how
ever, are now having a tremendous
demand from business houses, many
of whom seem determined to become
independent of printers and printers
strikes in the future
II il estimated that the daily loss
in wages, profits, and handicaps To
business generally will average close
to $75O.000 a day if the strike con-
tinues any considerable period.

Rumblings Round
Rural Hill

We have especially enjoyed the past
two days as there was a good deal
Of stirring around. The cars passed
our home Sunday like we lived IN
some suburb of some great city-and
so we do, but the weather has played
US all kinds of tricks, the past week
was rain, wind, cold and warm, but
we have long since learned to take
the weather just as it comes.
Bro. Wenton was at his regular
place last Sunday and we learn that
he had quite a nice crowd, but we
must confess we were not present, as
we had to go to another place to at
tend meeting of our own. This
makes us think of nice compliment
we received a few days ago: A lady
said she could not tell whether we
were Baptists or Methodsts, but we
are Methodist, but we hope not Of
the kind that think they are right
and everybody else is wrong. | think
/ have scores of good friends that
belong to other churches and hope
/ am not selfish. | am a member of
Tabernacle church and this church is
very sacred to me, about which
will tell you more later.
Bro. Boner preached US quite an
interesting sermon on "Our Living"
and made a deep and we hope last
ing impression on his hearers. After
the sermon he administered the
Lords Supper ably assisted by Bro.
j. A. Taylor, after which Bro. Bonner
announced that there would be a
working of our road from the church
to the Tuscaloosa road. We hope
our people will turn out and help us

for we do not believe that our best
citizens of Columbus want the streets
in front of their homes all Uttered
up with hay, cobs and other such
stuff. Now Mr.. Town Man take this
home with you and ask your wife if
she would like for lot of us country
folks to come and hitch, feed and lit
ter up the street right up to the front
door. We are willing to leave the
answer with you and if you men do
not get busy and help us out, we are
going to call upon the ladies of our
Aid Society, Chamber Of Commerce,
City Council and who ever you might
be, get busy, for we are in this to win.
We notice few of our Ruralites on
the last list of subscribers publish
ed in the Dispatch for we had put in
a good word to some Of them and it
makes us feel good TO think that our
neighbors appreciate our efforts
enough to take the paper. We hope
more will follow.
Again we were made to feel good
from the compliment Of DR.. Iamieson,
of Caledonia and when we get COM
pliment from a noted man like this,
it makes our head swell a little, but
we can still get our old wool hat on,
that was made Of cotton before the
war, but we could not accept the
kind invitation of the Doctors to
make a speech on last Saturday on
account of previous engagement.
was away from home and Mrs. Ru-
ralite saw what you said about us and
she was very much pleased, and has
not said word about my writing to
the good old Disptch since, SO | thank
you and will try to accept your in
vitation some time and | will do my
very best. If it is on the Farm Blu
reau it will be a good speech although
may not say mu,h, aat this is a
good subject.
Our community was saddened this
past week on accol i. Of the death and
burial of one of our ,,dast ana noblist
ladies', Mrs. Jasper Duncan. Her
death was caused by old age. Death
is always sad, but when it is mother
it is doubly so. We cannot say to you,
friends weep for well do we know this
is but natural, but we cam say we
weep withyou and express to you our
deepest sympathy and would say that
while you grieve remember your
Maker and that He makes no mis-
takes. Mother Duncan has gone to
rest. Let us so live that when called
we may meet her up where God is
gathering his friends home. From a
"RURALITE."

make a good job of this. All are re-
quested to come and help.
We were notified that another
young man made his appearance in
our community just across the line
in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Lance, they named his George Wash
ington because he made his arrival
on the 22nd of February. Mother and
son are doing nicely.
Rural Hill and New Salem played
match game of basket ball Friday
afternoon which resulted in victory
for Rural Hill, score 16 to 8, but New
Salem played a good game and they
looked so much like our boys that we
could hardly tell them apart, and the
New Salem girls were just as pretty
as they could be and looked nearly as
good as our own girls, and we think
that this is saying a whole lot, as
we think we have the prettiest girls
in the world.
Mt. Vernon and Star boys played
a game at the Piney Grove campus,
which resulted in a victory for the
Star boys C to 3. We cannot COM
ment on this game as we were not
present.
What has become Of our hitching
lot? You may think we are going
to let up on you fellows about this
hitching lot and drinking fountains,
but just as long as Mr.. lines will pub
lish it am going to keep the camp
fires burning until we get those
things. So you just as well get busy.
Not long ago one of my good neigh
Dor farmers drove into Columbus and
after trying to get into several places
to hitch and feed his team he stopped
his team in back street as he
thought and proceeded to unhitch and
feed his horses, and out from a near
by residence came a well dressed
gentleman and began to abuse this
farmer in a very abrupt manner, but
this good old farmer did not lose
temper, but quietly explained to this
gentleman his condition, which he
was quick to see into. He at once beg
ged his pardon and told this good old
farmer that he had treated him wrong
and told him to go ahead ard finished
by giving he and his son pair OF
gloves. This gentleman | think is
travelling salesman and probably
not fully acquainted with the con-
ditions that exist in Columbus and We
are glad to know he was man enough
to act the part of man when he
saw the situation; and we are glat
that our farmer neighbor did not lose
his temper and cuss back like some
of us might have done. Now this
city man is not so much to blam'

This was promptly made and Mr.

In the firing Sunday morning four
of the bullets went crashing into the
front Of Hirshman's store. Two bull
lets pierced the big plate glass win
dows, one of them striking an electric
fan on the inside of the store and
grazed show case. The other two
crashed through the door.
One bullet whizzed down Main
street and went crashing into prism
transom in the store of Simon Loeb
and Bro, a block away.
Apparently the momentum of the
bullet was hardly impaired by the
hard prism glass for it ranged to the
far side of the store and crashed

lets were picked up and turned over
to the officers.
A travelling man, stranger in CO.

on the morning Owl train and he was
passing along Main near the Hirsh-

as the "barrage" was being laid down.

Prof. J. c. Meadows made splen-
did talk Friday morning in chapel en-
which occasion he pleaded with the
students not to let every outside at
traction detract from their school
work. He used as his text: "But this
one thing | do, forgetting those
things which are behind and reach
ing forth unto those things which
are before, | press forward towards
the dark for the prize of the high
calling" Mr.. Meadows said there
were just three essentials to success
in school work as we'll as life: Goat
it-ive-ness, stick-to-it-ive-ness, and
never give up-ive-ness. The fellow
who leads his class does it because
he starts working a little sooner
than the other student works a bit
harder while he is at it, and stays
at it little longer. There is the
secret of leading in any phase of life.
The high school girls are making
plans for the Y. w. C. A. Conference,
to be held here during the month of
March. All this school year the girls
have been working to make money to
finance this conference. They have
been very faithful under Mrs, Hayes
direction and with her invaluable aid
and have succeeded in raising the
greater part Of the money for the
conference.
