Call to Arms,

In response to a call from ysham
Harris Camp No. 27, U. G. ", and the
local chapter of the Daughters CT the
Confederacy, a large crowd assembled
at Columbus last week to hear
speeches from prominent citizens on
the question of the hour. Gen. Stephen
d. Lee, in an eloquent patriotic ad-
dress, urged the boys and men of Column
bus and Lowndes county to respond to
their county's call for troops. There
are two reasons why the companies of
Lowndes county have not already vol
unteered. One is because they do not
like the idea of serving under regi-
mental officers appointed by Gov Nc
Laurin unless they know who these
officers are to be; and the second is that
the militia of the county is divided up
into five companies, when in reality
there should be only one or two at the
outside. The members of the various
companies are for the most part ready
and anxious to go, but are unwilling.
that their respective organizations
should lose their individually by being
merged into other companies which
may perhaps be commanded by officers
OF whom they know nothing. An effort
is being made to have the Columbus
Rifiemen and Queen City Guards con.
solidated and 60 as one company. If
this effort is successful Columbus can
send company of about eighty-tive
men, which will probably go out under
command of Capt. E. S. Donnell, of the
Columbus Ritlemcn.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Railroad Commission.

The Railroad Commission met ut
Jackson last week and transacted the
following business: Superintendent
Sharp of the Y. Il NJ. v. r. L. appeared
before the commission in response to
summons in the matter of depot facili-
ties at Farrell, Coahoma county, and
Lorenzen, Sharkey county. He filed a
statement compiled by the auditor Of
the road showing amount of business
done at both places for the last five
years. Also a statement that the COM
pany ought not to be forced to build on
account of the nearness of other sta
tions. Commission reached conclusion
that on that showing the company
could not legally be compelled to build.
Case dismissed.
Upon showing Vice-President Carroll
of the NJ. & O. R. R. that an order had
been issued by his company to allow
passengers to ride on freight trains,
the commission instructed the secre1
tary to notify the citizens of Egypt
that their petition for that station to be
made flag station for night trains no
longer existed.
Citizens of Stewart, Montgomery
county, have petitioned for depot IA
cilities. Case not acted on as yet. Su-
perintendent Sharp notified the COM
mission that Postal Telegraph office
has been put in at Webbs, Miss, as per
order of commission. Superintendent
Stephens, of the Western Union, has
notified the commission that the order
requiring the telegraph Office at Hat
tiesburg to be removed from the depot
to the town has been complied with.
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road has
notified commission that waiting rooms
have been put in at Percy and Eyre
mont. Also that all repairs petitioned
for by citizens Of Mcrigold have been
completed.
The secretary was instructed to COR
respond with J. J. White, of the Column
bia & Lumberton Railroad Company,
asking why no tax returns for that
road have been filed with the commits
sion for 1898.
