COMMITTEE TO MAKE THE
ROUNDS TO RAISE MEG
ESSARY FUNDS.
$5,OOO.OO is THE GOAL
To Make Home Coming Success
full and Noteworthy, the
Committee Must Not Be
Cramped for Funds.

Elsewhere ih this issue of The Dis
patch, under the caption, "Now Is The
Time To Rally" Chairman R. f.
Johnston, Of the Centennial and Home
Coming Celebration, calls upon the
people of Columbus to come to the
support of the most important event
that ever occurred in the history of the
city.
All Columbians are proud of their
city. We all have an ambition to do
the right things at the right time and
in the right way.
Thousands of visitors will enter
our gates during Homecoming Week.
Each and every one of them must be
accorded such treatment at our hands
as will make them glad they came
and anxious to return.
The Centennial and Homecoming
Celebration will be big affair. Mr..
Johnston and his comittee have been
at work for several months making
plans and preparing for &l event that
will reflect credit not only upon the
city of Columbus, but upon the entire
state.
The Centennial Committee wants
to do things, not on magnificent
scale, but upon a creditablc scale (
They have no desire to scatter money
like shavings from a planning mill, /
but they do not want to be crampled
for funds. In asking for five thou
sand dollars for ail event of this char
acter the members of the committee
feels that their request is very modest. !
The finance Con,nljtta I Of the MI
tennial and Home Coming Celebration
consists of the following wellknown
gentlemen: Mr.. Frank P. Phillips,
chairman; Mr.. Sam B. Johnston, Mr..
T. j. Locke, Mr. Ira L. CASTOR, Mr..
w. B. Harrington, Mr. Parker Reeves,
Mr.. j. s. Loeb, Mr. G. c. Richardson
and Mr.. John Beard Working in
pairs, these gentlemen will start out
next Wednesday morning to secure
cash and subscriptions for five thous-
and dollars. They have a subscription
of $3.50 to begin with, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that "ere the day is
done7 the entire amount viii be raised.
To make the work of the finance
committee easy, and to aid the gentle
men IN their wofk, it would be well to ,
make up your mind in advance how
much you are willing to give, and, if
you so desire, have your check made
out. These gentlemen are giving
their time to do this work with no re-
compense save that which comes
from the consciousness Of having per-
formed duty.
The Centennial and Homecoming
Celebration is only about six weeks
in the future. There is so time to be q
lost. The sun shines plentifully these s
days; let's make hay. '

would venture the assertion that
there were four hundred stills

county seat. The courthouse is
in the middle of the square, he

on the square and peddled the
same as farmers dispose of their

a county in Tennessee as Debois,
the revenue officers might find
something to do.

There is no let up in whisky
stealing from the government.
Fourteen barrels were stolen
last Tuesday night from the
Walker Distillery Company,
Bardstown. 1t was valued at
$22, 400. The particulars of the
robbery have not been given out
by the Collector, nor was it
stated from his Office that there
was a clew to the thieves. The
continuous robbing of govern
ment warehouses is beginning to
stink. and we look for an explo-
sion at any time, 1t is believed
that Collector Hamilton is doing
his duty, but with all his eau
tiousness, the slick gentrys are
doing effective work in their
line.

Last Friday at about the noon
hour, Woodrow Wilson'S labors
as President of the United States
came to a close. For eight years
he was the Chief Executive of
this nation, and four years of
that time were unusually Stormy.
He was the Commander-in. Chief
during a most bloody, expensive
World war, and during the four
years it was waged, his chief de-
sire was for peace, a lasting
peace. Germany finally went
down and the armistice was
signed. No man ever went
through as many trying months
and anxiety for his country as
did Woodrow Wilson. He went
to Europe and with representa-
tives of other allied nations a
peace treaty was edited and
signed; but when President Will
son came home with the docu.
ment a partisan Senate refused
to ratify his his action. This in.
deed was Notwithstanding
down his efforts to bring a last
ing peace,::we might say to the
entire world. Broken in health
and mortified beyond expression
he took his bedl and for weeks
his life was in the balance, mill
ions of people praying for his re-
covery. A man of the stronges
character, he looked death il
theface, satisfied that he hal
done what he could for suffering
humanity. His appeals and TIT
petitions of his friends to hi
Maker in all probability savet
his life. Whatever the enemies
of Woodrow Wilson may say o.
his acts, he will 60 down in his
tory as one of Americas creates
men, one that will not be forgot
ten, and whose deeds for hi
country's sake will be read ant
praised by all thinking men TO
generations to come.

hope and trust that his term of
Office will give satisfaction to the
business interest of the country;
that it may be an economical ad.

treaty may be speedily agreed
upon. There will be no peace up-
til a treaty is signed, and no
man knows this any better than
President Harding. We certain

will not be fraught with as
much Itrouble as the outgoing
President had to contend with
during the last four years of his
administration.

Mr.. ]. E. Murrell, Editor,
The Adair County News,
Columbia, KY.
Dear Mr.. MurrelI:
enclose herewith my check
for $500. Please keep the paper
coming for the next year. In
comparison with the disorder and
crime that is running rife in this
country, it, is a pleasure to read
of the peace, quiet and prosperity
of a little town such as Columbia.
| presume that you have read
something of the so called bat
tie of Matewan". The Chief of
Police of the town was the prin-
cipal actor in the battle, and his
trial is on in Williamson now for
the murder of about three detec-
tives. The evidence is going
pretty hard with ''Sid". It
seems that it has been proven
beyond doubt that he fired the
first shot, that resulted in the
death of ten men in ten minutes,
and did it in accordance with a
prearranged plot to get rid of the
men in the quickest manner.
Business is pretty dull here
now on account of the strike and
it is hitting US pretty hard. but
we are hoping it will improve in
the next few months. / close

COTTON BUYING IS
RESULT OF WEATHER
Rumor That Large Mil Concern Was
About to Raise Price Of
Cotton Goods.

NEW ORLEANS. July 19.-Cotton was
higher in a moderate way today, as the
result of buying encouraged by rather
general cloudy weather over the belt, the
forecast of showery weather for the great
er part of il and the fear that weeVli
damage would increase in consequence.
Reports of a good demand for new crop
cotton in the south Texas, met by only
limited offerings, increased the demand
for contracts as did also the rumor that
one of the largest mill concerns in the
country was about to raise the price u
its cotton goods by - per cent. Highest
prices came in the last few minutes Of
the day when the most active months
were 10 to 81 points higher than the
finals of yesterday. The close was at
ret gains of Is to 10 points. october
traded up to 1916, and closed at 1913.
In the early trading the market was
irregular and unsettled. Considerable
liquidation came from the long side aJld
at one time prices were TO points
under the close of yesterday with oc-
tober off to 1911. Sales of $4,000 bales
on the spot in Liverpool failed to bring
in much support apparently because con-
tracts in that market made no show Of
strength and because of the deadlock in
the Irish situation. The forecast of show
ers over most of the belt took the mar
ket out of its depression but around the
middle of the day the tendency was to
fall off again. In the late trading the
market made its greatest show Of
strength.
