MARBLE WORKS
MAKES STRIDES
Ten-ToR Electric Craze Instealled and
Other Improved Machinery
Puts Institution In Front
Ranks.

The Columbus Marble Works has
just completed modern cutting shed
and installed a lotion electric crane,
with which two men can unload a
ear Of stone or marble in two hours.
This firm also operates a modern
diamond saw, rubbing bed and sand
blast lettering machine. The sand
blast is a rather new invention for
lettering high class work in granite
or marble and is the only one of its
kind in the state. All of these mod
em improvements, with their skilled
labor, enable this up-to-date firm to
turn out first class work in a short
while.
Some Of the recent contracts award
ed them are the Methodist Church,
West Point, Miss; the Presbyterian
Church, Tuscaloosa, Ala; the Power
Plant, A. & M. College, Miss; the
Teachers Home, M. s. C. w., of our
city.
The Dispatch is glad to note the
improvements being made at the
marble works. 1t shows conclusively
that the establishment is doing a lot
of business and that improvements
must be made from time to time to
keep pace with its rapidly-growing
trade.
The Columbus Marble Works is a
larger institution than anyone can i'm
agine who has not visited the plant
A large number of workmen are en-
ployed and the payroll is big one.
Inasmuch as large share of the bust
ness comes from Alabama and other
sections Of Mississippi, the outside
money brought here and paid out to
local workmen is a matter of cOngra- |
tulation to our merchants, profession
al men and the people in general.
The Dispatch congratulates the CO.
lumbus Marble Works upon its pros
perity and wishes the enterprise con-
tinued and increasing success.

BUSINESS SHOWS INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.--The
volume of business in the principal
farming centers of the. country in
creased during the week ending Sep
TENDER Ia, although there was a
slump in the industrial centers, the
federal reserve board tonight report
ed.
A decrease Of three per cent in
the total volume of business, as
measured by debts to individual ae-
counts reported to the board, was re-
ported. The total for the week was
s6,O68, 100000
Eighty per cent of the total de-
cline is shown for New York City"
the report states. Other important
centers showing substantial declines
were Cleveland, Pittsburg, Chicago,
San Francisco and Los Angeles. On
the other hand, Baltimore, New Or
leans, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Bos-
ton, Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas
showed increases.
Aggregate increases for the Rich
mond, Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas
City districts reflect apparently the
most recent rise in cotton price and
the heavier shipments of grain to the
primary and export markets"

FARM CONGRESS u
AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. IT,
With the opening Monday Of the In
terstate Farm Congress, New Orleans
business interests will make an ear
nest effort to cultivate spirit af
good viii throughout Louisiana and
Mississippi.
This event is expected to be the
most successful movement in this di-
rection yet attempted.
Headed by Governors Parker and
Russell and William Jennings Bryan,
the list of speakers is one Of the
strongest ever arranged in the South.
The program committee, Of which
DR.. w. r. Perkins, L. S. IT,, Director
of Extension is Chairman, has been
careful to see that practical farmers
were listed for speeches wherever
possible. The program is noticeably
shy on speeches by experts. > &
The plan reasoned for the calling
of this Congress was to broaden and
stabilize the New Orleans produced
market As the situation now stands
truck growers in Louisiana and Mis-
sissipp hesitate to send their prof.
ducts here because the New Orleans
market has reputation of being one
of the worst in the country.
Consequently, 90 per cent of the
produce grown in this section is ship-t
ped to eastern markets, and New Or
leans has some difficulty in obtaining
food products grown within 100 miles
of the city. This also has the effect
Of increasing prices, and has made |
a wonderful market for California |
and Florida fruits and vegetables.
This condition is not due solely to
the New Orleans produce dealer, for
the reason that truck growers in this
section have not learned to pack their
products in standard containers and
grade it as the California people do.
Another important matter TO be
taken up is "Soil Improvement, and
Cleaning Up the Cattle Tick. Other
topics of interest to farmers, business
men and bankers are to be discussed.
In connection with the Interstate
Farm Congress the Louisiana and
Mississippi Divisions of the Americar
Cotton Association; the Secretaries
of Federal Land Banks in louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama; Louisiana
and Mississippi editors and Commer.1
cial Secretaries of the two States
will meet.
j. C. Barry, Secretary of the Lou
isiana Bankers Association has in
vited all members Of that organiza-
tion to attend the Farm Congress.
The entertainment program begins
Monday night with picnic at Span
ish Fort, and ride around the harbor
Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday is S

present LA Folies Dies Saisons;" the

onstrated anew by the fact that while
the British government has not given
formal recognition to the soviet gov
eminent of Russia it has, nevertheless,
negotiated trading agreement with
the soviet government of Russia which
permits British manufacturers to ship
their products into Russia and TO re-
ceive from Russia the products which
Great Britain needs. The pound ster-
ling is put ahead of national distaste.
However, Russia's soviet government
is not worrying over the delay in re-
ceiving formal recognition from the
British government, for the trading
agreement is virtual recognition.

A RULE OF THE ROAD VIOLATED

Whatever may have been the con-
tributing elements towards the auto
mobile collision on the Newport Derby
Line road in which one machine was
overturned recently, causing injury to
a woman occupant, it seems clear that
the rule of the road was violated in
the effort of a following car to pass the
head car while another automobile was
approaching. The result was that the
passing car could not give enough clear
ance to permit the approaching auto
mobile to proceed; and as the passing
car was moving at fairly swift pace
while the approaching car was moving
leisurely the latter was detected oil
the highway and was overturned. lt
is one Of the first rules of the road
which the new driver is supposed to
learn, that the motor vehicle trailing
another must give place to the ap-
preaching car; that is, the trailing We.
hicle must not attempt to go ahead OF
the first car when another vehicle is
approaching and when that approach
ing vehicle is within, say, three hun
bred feet at a minimum. II this rule
of the road had been observed in the
Newport Derby Line meeting, there
would have been no accident to record
1t is well for all drivers, new or old,
to have this reminder forced upon
them.

The assault on the aged store keeper
of Gassetts Ia hamlet in Chester
which resulted in the death of the vic
tim at the Bellows Falls hospital, was
particularly atrocious, being patterned
after many of the murderous assaults
that have blackened the records all
over the United States since the NOR
al let down following the war. The
aged man was beaten most viciously
and apparently with purpose to have
death cover up the traces of the per-
petrators, whose motive was robbery.
Death interviewed before the victim
could give any account of the affair;
but the authorities have under arrest
two men who had strayed into the
hamlet of Gassetts and one of whom
had been befriended by the aged store
keeper. In many of its features, the
crime at Gassetts was fully as brutal
as the murder at Middlesex a few years
ago in which an aged man was muir
dered for his money and the perpetra-
tor of which has not yet been brought
to the bar of Justice. In each case the
victim was more or less defenseless
old man, the attacks showing the de.
pravity of the perpetrators in picking
out the objects of their attacks.
