COLORED FOLKS MEETING.
What They Approve and ~DisapprOve

The colored people held another
mass meeting near the Beal street
market yesterday afternoon, Prof.
James Lott presiding and E. R. Bell
secretary. The leading debaters were
Edward Shaw, John League, w. H.
Porter and E. R. Bell. The announce
ment of the Taxing District officials
and committee of safety that no aid or
subsistence would be given to the
poor, unless they go to camp, also the
regulation permitting no one to leave
the city in search of labor was pro-
nounced cruel and unjust and in the
estimation Of the meeting should be
frowned down by all right minded
people. The meeting expressed dis
appreciation that the executive COM
mittee of public safety furnish sup
plies for sale and afterward act on such
accounts. The disinterested and Chris
tian-liko charity Of the Towards
among the sick and poor met the
grateful approval of the meeting, and
their action in resolutions was for
warded to the governor of the State.

A RELIABLE HOUSE.
tits Always in the Field.

For many years past the house Of
B. j. Semmes & Co. has been a noted
one in this city. The purity Of its
stock of imported liquors, the SUI
perior character of its wines from
abroad, and the excellence Of all do
nestle goods within its list is well
known to all who imbibe. Any retail
dealer who is known to purchase
supplies from this reliable establish
ment soon becomes popular among its
customers and doubt is never
expressed regarding the quality of an
article if it be made known that it
was purchased from Mr., Semmes.
He is a reliable merchant who
thoroughly understands his business.
He is a connoisseur in all that goes
to make up a irst-class wine and
liquor merchant, and his superior
taste is never questioned when it
comes to decide upon the value of any
article in his peculiar line of trade.
At the same time Mr.. Semmes is a
frst-class citizen of quiet and gen.
tlemanly bearing and he commands
respect in all circles. The house Of
which he is the head is regarded as
one Of the most solid, as it is one of
the most widely known in the South.
1t enjoys an extensive trade through
out the Southwest and is as ~enterpris-
ing as it is necessary to the welfare of.
the community, A large supply of
6rst-claSs goods is always to be found
upon its shelves and in its cellars.
the list a fine lot of %claret,
moselle and other wines including
champagne. Burgundy and other
wines from France and neighboring
countries have recently arrived also
fine English ales, stout, s%eltzer, bran
dies and many species too numerous
to mention. In the way Of domestic
a series of the best brands of
is also included-liquors of
age and excellent favor warranted to
be precisely as represented-and are
at prices lower than herero-
fore. A fine stock of imported and
cigars is also on hand. The
list will be disposed of on
terms to suit the most exacting, and
every order is guaranteed by this re-
spected firm. During the great scourge
Of last year the house of B. j. Semmes
& Co. never failed to open its doors
each day, and through all times, in
sickness and in health, in prosperous
and in periods of stagnation
the house is open for business.

THE SAFETY COMMITTEE.
Its Regular Meeting Yesterday-.-Trans
action of Business.

The executive committee of the
citizens committee met as usual at
their rooms in the Planters building.
A bill of $500.50 to the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad for running
trains was allowed. A special COM
mittee reported in favor of reducing
the wages allowed to persons in charge
of the camps and commissariat in this
city. The aggregate pay roll hereto
fore has been S226.25 per week. The
proposed reduction makes it $187.25,
a saving of about $40 per week. The
employment of a hospital nurse at not
over 81 per day, pay allowed while on
duty only, was also recommended.
The propriety of reducing the rations
was recommended to be left to Colonel
Cameron.
COLONEL CAMERoN's RESIGNATION.
Colonel Cameron's resignation as
superintendent of camp and supplies,
rendered to the authorities, %recites
that his health will not admit of the
full and proper discharge of his office
in the absence Of trained and efficient
force, which in the present condition
of the finances the safety committee
cannot furnish. Colonel Cameron says
his private means are scanty and he
is unable to donate to the public his
services free of charge. The resigna-
tion of Colonel Cameron was accepted
by a vote Of six against four.
Several committees were appointed
to act on various matters, among
others to endeavor to get the Towards
to revoke their recent order regarding
the care of other than yellow fever
sick.
