COLUMBUS, MISS, BUSINESS MEN ACCEPT
INVITATION BY CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE.

Dispatches state that business men of our thriving
and progressive neighbor, Columbus Miss, have
cluded to accept the invitation of the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce, and come to this city their
trip of inspection Of the Warrior transportation sys
tenn and terminals.
Birmingham will be nightly pleased to have them,
and will extend hearty welcome. Our friends Of
Columbus ought to know what good city Brming-
ham is, and what opportunities have for mutually
beneficial business relations. The vicinity of Column
bus offers many commodities for Birmingham to buy.
1t produces much alfalfa hay, fine live stock, cotton
and cotton products, farm produce and doubtless
many other things for which market could be found
here On the other hand there are certain definite
advantages Birmingham offers to the Columbus dis
tret in the way Of business which perhaps are not
now as thoroughly appreciated as they might be.
There is also the opportunity for our business men
and the Columbus business representatives to get
quainted and better acquaintance among commune
ties is always mutually helpful and valuable in itself
Columbus has exhibited very fine spirit of en-
terprise and cooperation in paronizng the Warrior
barge line upstream freght-the great and press
ing need of the line at this time With the existence
of the barge line vndcaed in this particular; placed
beyond carping the cavi Of those who for sinister
reasons wish it i'll, the predicate will be laid for the
similar improvement and utilization of the Tombig-
bee when the people of Columbus may then have

Meanwhile, Columbus is standing loyalty and en-.
Enthusiastically behind the Warrior and studying the
situation. fE. I-lt .ID Gl =

He feels that the roads will be worth
all they cost and more and that
the work will be a God-send to the
people who have no work to do on
their farms. He is firmly of the opin-

only to citizens of the county as it

A number of requests have been
made for Ira Arnold Of Lone Grove to
be given the place. Mr.. Arnold is an
old-timer, he is active, and loves Car.
ter county and is known to almost the
entire citizenship. The fair has reached
that point where only big men with
big ideas are entitled to the presi.

say he will meet these requirements
Some talk is also heard for Mort
Wood, although it is not known
whether Mr.. Wood could be induced to
take 1t or not. He is interested in

success of the fair, he never quits
