 A detail from Company K was sent into town yes erday afternoon to see that none of the boys were disorderly. They returned to the camp and reported that all of the boys were on their good be- havior, and this greatly pl:ased the diff ferent officers.

 The following members of Company H, Alexander City Rifles, arrived in camp yesterday morning: Sergeants T. S. Christian, J. M Goggans, and Privates kerson and J. c. Cleveland. Several oth- CTS are expected today. Company H now has twenty-nine men in camp and are enjoying the full benefits.
 This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock Major Clay's battalion will guard the camp, and that of Major Walden will make the attack. About 1000 rounds of cartridges will be used and the sight will be a novel one, as nothing like 1t has ever been seen around here. If the weather permits no doubt this will induce very large crowd to visit the model camping grounds of the state. i-
 In rifle practice tomorrow a new and novel feature will be introduced. Iron horses will be used with men astride, and the soldiers at 800 and 1000 yards distant standing up, kneeling and laying down, will try their craftsmanship.
 Two captains, two lieutenants, and one corporal were landed in the jug yesterday at one time.
 The three Jews in Company B, Gold berg, Allstein and Goldberg, could not hit the target. Allstein said "Dat gun vas not straidt," or else he would have at least hit the board.

FAST LAKES TENTED CITY Was a VeritabIe Sea of Mud A.
 ter the Rain. MAJ. CLAY TO DEFEND CAMP From the Attack of Maj. Walden This After noon-Noyel Features in Rife Prac-
 tice-Grlpe and Canister

Camp Pettus was a sea of mud yester- day, and the day dragged wearily along for the majority of thoi soldier boys. For the most part the day was spent in writ- iEg affectionate little epistles to home folks and the girls who were left be- hind, but quite a number of the boys gathered in quiet corners and tempted fickle fortune in games of chance The boys on police duty were very active all day in patrolling the streets and keeping the numerous suspicious crowds dis persed.
 Altogether it was very dull day for those in camp, as visitors were scarce The "beastly horrid weather" as one of the boys put it, kept the fair sex at home, and the male portion of the popu- lation were conspicuous by their absence. Not until after the shades of night had fallen and the boys began to despair did the visitors begin to arrive. Then quite a number, lured by the prospects of cool and pretty summer night, went to beautiful Lake Como.
 A DAY AHEAD. On account of the indictment weather. it was found necessary to abandon the usual dress parade and all orders were read in the mess hall during supper time. The general order issued last night is as follows
 Camp Pettus, June 16, 1897. Orders No. 3. Detail for tomorrow; Officer of the day, Captain Mcleod, Con- pany "D'; senior officer of the guard Lieutenant Davidson, Company "E''; ju- nior officer of the guard, Lieutenant Har- wood, Company "E."

His action comes az thunderbolt TO those

that Watson is influenced in his action by

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Takes Another Turn at Slashing
Coffee.

New York. August 2s.-The Sugar
trust. through it's auxiliary, the Woolsen
Spice company, today made another slash
at the Arbuckles by further reduction Of
halt cent pound in the price c. roasted
coffee. If the cutting were continued in
the same ratio as during the past six
months, by the time the Arbuckles get
their new refinery ready to fight the
Sugar trust there will be no profit left
in their business OF roasting coffee. All
the sane, they continue to meet every
cut made by the Havemeyers through the
Woolsen concern. Today reduction
brings tho price Of roasted coffee down to
9h cents pound, net, to the trade, but
within half an hour the Arbuckles had
marked down their product to corre-
spending level At this time last year,
before the Sugar trust began the fight
against the Arbuckles. 20 punish the lat
ter for proposing to engage in the refining
industry the margin between the cost OF
raw coffee and the price of the roasted
product was 5ls cents pound Today's
cut brings the margin down to 2ib cents.

Chairman Savage Says No Surrender
of Principles VIII lie Made.
Chattanooga, Tenn. August 2S.-Hon.
Michael Savage. chairman OF the executive
committee Of the gold wing of the demo-
cratic party, passed through this city today
en- route to Nashville.
While here Mr.. Savage stated that con-
ference of the leaders of that wing of the
party would hold a conference melting at
Nashville about the 18th OF the month to
perfect an organization and decide what Is
best to be done under the present condi-
tons.
Mr., Savage stated that It was not the
purpose OF the party to antagonize the DOM
inant wing of the party, but that he had
found 1t to be the sentiment of the national
democrats that nothing should be surren-
dered which they regarded as vital to de-
mocracy. He stated that the nationals will
come to the dominant element in the party
in the spirit OF friendliness, but that there
would be no surrender
Hon. Josiah Patterson Of Memphis is
said to be one of the leading spirits in
bringing about the conference to be held
at Nashville.
Unless there is some kind OF a COM
promise 10 is said the nationals will put a
State ticket in the field next year.
