Visit the United States.

BOSTON, Mass, March 16'-Ser-
gesnt George r. Ousey of the Honor
able Artillery company of London has
spent the past four days
in Boston and as result OF his
VIII the plans have been
perfected for the American visit next
year of this noted organization, Ser
geans Ousey has been in conference
with the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery of this city whose guests the
mem bers of the famous London organi-
zstion will be while in this country.
The Boston company visited its
namesake in London several years ago,
the occasion being a notable one from
the fact that it was the first occasion
on which body of armed Americans
had set foot on English soil.
The Americans were accorded
hearty welcome and it is their inten-
ton to reciprocate the British hospital
ity by providing elaborate entertain
mens for the London Honora bles when
they come here next year.
One of the features of the visit will
be two-weeks' trip all over the coun-
try in special train gotten up as
finely as is possible in America.

The nine negroes were held for the
burning of the town which took place
last January. Governor Gambler was
called on this morning for troops. A
telegram from Atlanta says that 2oO
militia men will move to Palmetto at
once. The trouble arose original
ly over the enforcement OF
the prohibition law. The negroes
carried bottles OF whiskey and glasses
and sold drinks. This led to many
being arrested. They threatened to
burn the town. Later fires began to
occur with alarming regularity, with
the result of nine arrests made which
led finally to the tragedy OF this morn
