GUNS FOR THE P. O.
General Miles Wants Battery
in the New Chicago
Building.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-GeneraI Nelson A.
Miles has suggested to the supervising
architect for the new Chicago pOstoffice
building that it would be wise pre-
caution to make provision for mount
ing a few gatling guns over the several
approaches to the new structure. A re-
port from Washington, where the final
plans for the superstructure are in
course of preparation, is that nothing
as yet has been done towards carrying
out the generals suggestion.
When the plans for the new govern
ment building in Chicago first came up
for consideration a year ago, General
Miles was among the prominent Off
Gals who were consulted in regard to
the matter. He has had some expert
ence in handling strikers and riotous
mObS; and one of his first thoughts was
that some precaution should be taken
to protect the building from being sack
ed and destroyed in time of great ex-
cftement or local commotiOn. He then
gave it as his opinion that the most
feasible means of accomplishing this
end would be to make an arrangement
by which gatling guns could be trained
upon the approaches from commanding
positions.
At the time the suggestion was re-
ceiVed in a favorable manner, but it
does not appear that it was acted upon
Immediately in the case of the project
ed Chicago building. But a similar
structure was in course of erection at
Philadelphia, mint building; and here
the suggestion bore Immediate fruit.
The outline of this building, which is
but three stories high, confOrmed read
lily to the plan, and ample towers were
built at each of the four corners, lined
with boiler iron. Into these, if neceS-
sary, squads could be hastily thrown,
and good guns could repeI a most form
idable crowd with comparative safety.
In the case of the Chicago building it
seems that the opportunity for defense
is even more favorable. Here it will be
possible to place gatlings at each of the
corners overlooking the approaches, and
not higher than the second floor. 1t has
not even been necessary to make spec
ial preparation in the way of towers,
for the construction of the building will
be such that it will be easy to find
commanding positions for the9 gatlings.
By this precaution it will be a matter
of ease to protect the governments s
building in case of necessity. Two gat-
ling guns could be trained within q
short time from safe positions upon
each of the entrances. 1t would be a
rash crowd that would attempt to go
in the face of them. A few skilled and
determined men behind the boiler iron
! could do greater execution than a
whole company of regulars armed with
the latest improved repeating rifles.

CULLEoKA, Nov. 2.-Once more the
drouth is broken in this section. On
last Sunday morning it began raining,
much to the qualification of every one,
but especially the farmers. A light,
though steady, rain has continued since
although it is still not enough TO start
the springs or raise the water in the
wells and cisterns that have gone dry.
But men are hard to please. Although
the ground is wet only a few inches as
vets some are complaining about so much
rain and are wishing it would cease.
On Saturday, Nov. 6, after II O'clock,
all who are interested in our public
school, and especially those who have
subscribed to the fund for the rebuild

at w. II. Tunnels shop to take such
action as may be necessary to the
speedy erection of the building.
Most of the potatoes have been dug
