A Country Writer
Gets Good Results

Yesterday morning we were pleas
ed to receive call from one Of our
country correspondents who had been
doing little work in the subscrip-
ton soliciting line. By devoting a
few hours of her spare time to call
ing on people in her section of the
county the lady had secured thirty
two new subscribers to the Dispatch,
receiving for her services sixteen dol
lars. Thirty of the new subscribers
are Lowndes countians and two live
over in Alabama in the Columbus
Radius"
We make note Of this fact. as an
example to other correspondents. We
pay fifty cents for each new sub
scriber secured. The solicitor collects
two dollars and brings or sends us
$3.50, pocketing the fifty cents for
his or her work
Our correspondents are asked to
send us the names Of people in their
communities who do not take the Dis
patch (if any such are to be found
and we will mail them sample copies
of the paper. If any new subscrip-
tions are received as a result of the
sample copies, the correspondent who
sent the names will be entitled to fifty
cents for each one.
The Dispatch has the largest cir
culation of any semi-weekly news
paper in Mississippi, but we will not
be satisfied until Lowndes county's
oldest and best newspaper is a reg
ular twice-a-week visitor in every
home in the county No good reason
can be advanced why this paper
should not go into every home in the
county.
Furthermore, if there is a man or
woman in Lowndes county who would
like to read the Dispatch from week
to week, but who is really not able
to pay two dollars year for the
paper, we will send it to them absol-
utely free of all cost. We do not
mean by this statement that we have
any subscriptions to give away in
discriminatory, but we are not willing
that any family who wants to read
the Dispatch should be compelled to
do without it through the pinch of
poverty. We are impelled to the max
ing of this offer because of the fact
that an old man game into the office
yesterday and asked US to stop his
paper because of the fact that he was
no longer able to raise two dollars
year over and above the amount re-
quired to keep his soul and body to-
gether He commenced taking the
paper the year the present editor was
born, and his name had become so
firmly fixed on the subscription list
that we couldn't take it off He will
receive the Dispatch right along for
the residue of his earthly sojourn,
and will be as welcome to it as though
he paid five dollars for each copy.
There may be others in the same
class. If so, we would like to have
their names.

Will Try To Correct
EgregiOus Blunder

In undertaking to have a hurtful
and unjust piece Of fool legislation
repealed, the Chamber of Commerce
shows that it is keenly alive to the
best interests of our city and county
We refer to the law that makes it
obligatory upon any monument manu-
facturer in Mississippi to pay hold
up tax of S25 on each agent in its
employ, while, by a ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, a
Tennessee or Alabama monument
maker can flood Mississippi with
agents and solicitors and deliver
tombstones here by the carload with
out paying one penny of tax. The
law is so manifestly unjust that many
are wondering how it ever made its
way upon the statute books of our
great state,
Bringing the matter right home,
the matter stands about like this
The Columbus Marble Works, owned
and operated by Mr.. T. A. McGahey,
is one of our biggest institutions. 1t
works forty men and pays out five
thousand dollars a month for labor
Mr.. McGahey has an agent in each
county in Mississippi, and he has to
pay license for them in the sum of
$25 each. This would probably be
fair enough if all the states of the
union had the same law. 1t would
simply mean that each man or woman
who was DESTROYS of marking the
last resting place of a loved one
would have to pay $25 over and
above the cost of the stone. But
while Mr.. McGahey has to pay this
$25 in, say, Marshall County, Miss,
a Memphis monument man can step
across the line and sell the stone $25
cheaper, because he does not have to
pay the Mississippi license or tax of
$25.
Unless this discriminatory law can
be repealed, Mr.. McGahey, as a mat
ter of self protection and, self-pres-
ervation, will have to move his large
plant to Tuscaloosa, for in Alabama
they have no such idiotic provision on
their statute books.
All who are interested in the
growth and development of Column
bus, and all who love justice and fair
play, might employ their time adj
vantageously by writing to Senator
johnson and our representatives at
Jackson and urge the repeal of the
law
AS a matter of course, we are in
terested in seeing Mr., McGahey get
a square deal. We are also inter
ested in seeing every other monu-
ment man in Mississippi get fair
treatment. Why should the Dispatch
be allowed to sell a thousand dol
lars worth of printing in Starkville,
without paying "a penny of license,
while Mr.. McGahey, if he sells thou
sand dollar tombstone in Starkville,
must pay tax of twenty dol
lars?

COLUMBUS NATIONAL

The statement of the Columbus
National Bank, which appears in this
issue of the Dispatch, shows that in
stitution to be in splendid shape.
There are no bills payable, the re-
sources are much greater than they
were a year ago, and the statement
in its entirety breathes spirit of
optimism and confidence. The Column
bus National Bank recently declared
ten per cent dividend. We con-
graduate President Wood, Cashier
Slaughter, and all the directors and
stock holders of the bank on the fine
showing made i'm their statement.

BOYS BURN RIVAL
IN LOVE AT STAKE
Rescued With Clothing Afire
He Cut Them Out With
Little Girl.

KrNosvILLE, Ont. July Eddie San
derson Of Bellingham. Wash. came
here visiting and promptly became pop
ul9r with a little Kingsville girl. They
went walking together, they bought ice
cream together-and the girl pretty
generally showed the home town boys
that the visitor from America was her
ideal But three boys-all between ten
and twelve--lked the little girl. and
they didn't like Eddie's popularity. They
became frankly jealous. So they got
together and planned to end Eddie's Wis
it and his popularity at one stroke.
To-day men passing small woods
near the town heard boys agonized
cries. They smelled smoke and rushed
into the woods. Tied TO a stake with
fire eating it's way up his legs was
Eddie Sanderson. They cut the rope
and freed him. They threw water on
his feet and rushed him into the town.
Eddie at first refused to tell what had
happened. Finally he told the story OF
his popularity and said the three boys
had chased him, caught him. carried
him into the woods and there kindled
fire of paper and sticks, tied him TO a
stake as the flames started to leap up
and left him.
Eddie's physical condition Is not seri-
Gus. but there Is no report yet on the
condition of his popularity.

burglary at his home when he turned In
a. list of the missing articles to the West
Sixty-eighth street station. He had taken
many precautions against thieves In clos

opened and their contents thrown on
tho floor: the house was topsy-turvy.
ITpstairs he found the thirty inch safe
where valuables we're kept. open and
empty.

time between June II and 23, While
there was no one in the house, entry
was made by forcing the scuttle on the
roof. working down stairs the thieves
were forced TO Jimmy their way
out. II is thought that the burglars
went To the roof OF one of the Seventy

ac -oss TO the adjoining roofs until they
reached 354.

ieweIry silverware and Russian sable
scarf belonging to Mrs Brodek. a total
value OF about $4,000. we're among the
