SERIOUS FIRE AT
 GREENVILLE, MISS
rulIy One Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth of Prop
 erty Destroyed.

Greenville, Miss. March 22.-This after noon Greenvlle suffered from a fire that destroyed on a conservative estimate ful- ly one hundred thousand dollars worth of property. The Greenvlle compress was discovered to be on fire at 2:30 o'clock. Stored in the yards of the compress were 5000 bales of cotton, the wind was blow ing a gale from the southeast, and while this helped to save much of the cotton, as the flames were carried from the cot ton yard, it made the fire rage fuTiously and everything in reach was attacked The entire fire department was called out. and after hours of work the fire, at pm. is considered under control, al- though hundreds of bales of cotton are still burning. The compress building Is damaged to the extent of S10000, insured through local agencies for S25, GOO. A con serVative estimate places the cotton loss at 15g0O bales. valued at Si0.000. covered by insurance through local agencies. The heaviest losers on cotton were H. G. Vim cent, W. C. Craig x Co.,, and the Wal dauer Company.
 The fire crossed the Y. & M. V. Rail- road tracks and destroyed New Hope First Baptist church and then ate it's way, into Steel's alley, destroying in all seventeen tenement houses and most of the contents. The loss on the church and the tenement houses. added to the loss on the compress and cotton runs the total to fully Sl0OO00. The tenement houses destroyed were occupied by ne- groes, and their losses are total. as they mad no insurance on their household goods.
 Several people were badly burned, but none fatally.

II Is THE WAY YOU USE II.
It's the Method Employed Which
 Makes Success or Failure.

One man with pen, ink and paper can produce landscape; another man With same pen and ink may not be able 10 write his own name legibly. It is all in knowing how.
 1t Is equally true in the use of medi- cines The same remedies we have today have existed for thousands of years. but If their existence was known the knowl- edge of how to use them was lacking.
 They became valuable to the human race only when experiment and science showed the way to use them to get re- suits.
 The grip is an old disease with a new name; 1t Is really catarrhal in character, and the usual symptoms are those of acute cataarh, but the old-time catarrh powders, salves and sprays do not cure it, neither does the application of antisep- tics through an inhaler give anything more than relief for a short time.
 The antiseptics are all right; they will kill the germs of catarrh and grip Ii they are applied rightly, but their local ap- plication to the nose and throat avail little because the germs are in the blood and through the whole system.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many of these same antiseptics, that are used
 
 plying them to the inflamed membranes or the nose and throat they are taken into the stomach and thus reach the blood. the real seat of the disease, anu drive out the infectious germs through the natural channels of the bowels and kidneys.
 In other words, Stuarts Catarrh Tab Its reach the cause of the mischief in- stead of merely local symptoms.
 The remarkable success of these tablets in curing grip. catarrh and throat and lung troubles Is because they drive the catarrhal poison from the system and the nose and throat become clear of the ex- cessive secretion of mucus, which causes the hawking. spittin~ and gagging, be- cause the secretion Is not supplied from healthy blood.
 Two years ago Stuart's Cataarh Tab lets were unknown, but today have be- come so popular through positive merit that druggists everywhere in the United States. Canada and Great Britain now sell them.

Prisoners Escape From Guntersville
 Jall During a Storm.

Guntersville, March 22-(special )- Thursday night during severe rainstorm and high wind the prisoners in the Gun tersville jail broke out and a part fled. The instrument used in breaking jail has not been found. The heavy bars of the cell were spread like some giant had placed his hands on them and by main force sprung them about eight inches apart and then placed blocks between them. Through this opening the two men got out into the hall of the building. They then prized the steel plates on the entry down and entered the loft walked over the very rooms of the other part of the jail, where the jailer was sleeping, to another hall took up the trap-door in the ceiling and lowered themselves into the outer room of the jail, broke out the glass door and left. There Is no clue to their whereabouts.

WAR CONTROVERSY
 AT LAST SETTLED
Gen, BaIdy Smiths Claim is
 Not SubStantiated.
CONCERNING BATTLE PLANS
Committee Decides That Gen. Rose crans Originated Plan By Which the Army of the Cumberland
 Was Relieved in 1868.

Washington, March PA controversy which has been pending in the War De- partment since 1891, in which the yet erans of the Eastern and Western armies who fought at Chattanooga have b ? interested, has just been settled b. ' board of officers appointed in August l..-- by Secretary Root, of which Major-Gen- eral John R. Brooke was president. Gen. William r. Smith, known to the armies as "Baldy" Smith. for ten years has claimed pers!stently that he, and not General Rosecrans, originated the plan by which the Army of the Cumberland was relieved in October, 1863, by the open ing of the river line of supplies from Chattanooga to Bridgeport by way of Browns Ferry. The Chickamauga Park Commission, in the legends accompanying it's atlas of the battles about Chattanoo- ga, set forth that this plan was devised by General Rosecrans. General Smith took issue with the commission, and final ly asked Secretary Root to refer the whole subject to a board of army off, cers. In response to this request Secre- tary Root appointed such members of such board Major-General John R. Brooke, Col. George L. Gillespie, corps of engineers and Col. M. " Sheridan, as- sistant adjutant-general.
 Volumnous Report.
 After visit to the scene of operations involving an exhaustive study of the voluminous records in the case, and a hearing of General Smiths case, present. ed both by himself and a distinguished attorney, the board unanimously decided that the plan was devised by General Rosecrans. and not by General Smith.
 After d long review of the case, the board thus states its conclusion, which have been approved by the Secretary of War:
 After a diligent search of the official records, the board fails to find any evi- dence that Gen. W. F. Smith was the originator of the plan for the relief of Chattanooga, Tenn, by military opera tions to be conducted in Lookout Valley, October, 1869
 On the contrary. there Is abundant evidence in the official records to show that the plan, which contemplated cross ing of the Tennessee river at Bridgeport and at the northern end of Lookout Val ley. and which was successfully executed by General Thomas, October 26-28. 1864 was devised and prepared by Genera Rosecrans before relinquishlng command and that it's explanation was begun under orders issued by General Thomas, the very night October 19) that General Rosecrans was relieved from command o< tl ,.t., ,a,,t af ha t1Dlh ha and without consultation with General Smith. There is no evidence to show that General Smith took any part whatever, by counsel or by action, In the operations conducted by General Hooker through out Lookout Valley from the direction of Bridgeport. In conclusion the board Is of the opinion that the legend complain ed of does no injustice to the military re- cord of Gen. w. E. Smith

-------------- -------------- COTTON GROWERS.
President Harvey Jordan Issues Cal
 To Planters In the South.

Atlanta, Ga, March 22-Harvey Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Crow ers Protective Association has issued a call to the cotton producers of the South ern States asking them to meet at the county seat of every county in the South on Saturday. April 6, for the purpose of adopting some plan to curtail the acreage of the cotton crop for the season of 1901 and 1902.
 President Jordan urges immediate ac- tion by the farmers before the seed for the next crop Is placed in the ground. He claims that the planters will not be able to meet their obligations with the price of cotton at cents, which he con fidently predicts will result from a large acreage.
