STATE OF MILITARY
Interesting Report From the Army
land Navy Departments
SOME SOURCES Of OPPOSITION
Labor Leaders in Certain Ruarters
Contend That Our Army is An OPP
pressive Agency.

Washington, Special.-The annual
report Of Acting Adjutant General Hall
of the army, was made public Wednes-
day. 1t deals with every phase of the
military establishment. The actual
strength Of the army on October 10.
1908. was 1851 officers and $1,000 en-
listed men. Over one-half Of the report
IS devoted to the militia and it gives
a detailed account of the workings OF
the act to promote the efficiency OF the
militia in time OF national peril, the
Adjutant General states that although
the obligations CT officers and men OF
the militia to respond promptly TO
sudden call of the President has been
on the statute books more than nun
dred years. and OF the organized militia
of National Guard for nearly forty. and
the neglect to so respond is punishable
by such penalties as q court-martlal
may direct. experience has shown that
this obligation is a theory rather than
fact. Without going farther back
than the late war with Spain, the pro-
portion of the membership Of militia
organizations who have actually re-
sponded to such calls Of the President
has borne a very small proportion to
those actually borne on the company
rolls" The Adjutant General COM
ments at length on the opposition de-
veloped in some quarters to the militia
law. which he says is less on the whole
than was anticipated. He says 1t Is
true that certain radical leaders OF the
labor unions regard the militia as
menace to their purposes. although II
is doubtful. he adds, if this enmlty e&-
tends to any considerable proportion
cf their membership.

One Hundred Petitions.

Washington, Special.-Several hun
dred petitions protesting against Reed
Smoot retaining his seat as JUNIOR
Senator from Utah were filed in the
Senate. Most Of these were ofered
by Senator Burrows, chairman OF the
elections committee, though nearly
every State registered objection,
through petitions filed by their Sena-
tors. The churches, religious orgaliza-
tions of all kinds, universities. col
leges and other educational institu-
tions are among the organizations
which have filed protests. Some OF
these petitions charge that Senator
Smoot has practiced polygamy, while
others rest their objections on the
charge that he is member OF an Or
ganization which ccuntenances the
practice of plural marriages. Senator
Burrows said no action will be taken
by the elections committee until the
one vacancy on the committee had
been filled, and that 1t is not likely
the charges will be considered before
the last week of the special session
or the first week of the regular ses-
sion

BOARD MEETING.

There was but very little actual
work done last night by the board of
aldermen. An ordinance was passed
to keep people off the platforms
around the depots who have no bust
ness on them. This is good ordi-
nance and if enforced, as doubtless it
will be, it will save great deal of
annoyance to the patrons of the roads.
Doubtless the roads and the agents
highly approve of the action of the
board and they will do the part re-
quired of them in the ordinance. 1t
was
Ordered, that the city does hereby
exercise its option to take up and
cancel city bonds numbered 20 TO 80
inclusive series A each in denomi-
nation of 800 bearing per cent is
sued for the purpose of building a
town hall, Jail and market house at
the expiration Of five years from
dates thereof, and that the city clerk
notify the holders thereof.
This is about all the board did.
1t will be in session again tonight.
Whether it does much or little, it
seems to be putting in considerable
time for the pay it is getting.

FINE OPPORTUNITY.

Let everybody pull for Hatties-

the same as pulling for your own
business, and the man who does not
pull for his own business should be
pulled for vargancy. Hatties-
burg now has the finest opportunity 1T
ever had or ever will TO enter the
arena of business by jumps. In the
Woodworking business it should be
the greatest manufacturing center in
the state. 1t has the material at its
door, both of soft and hard woods,
and with the advantage it certainly
can compete with any other part of
the country. Every wagon used in
this section of the country should be
