Good Roads.

The road question seems to have
been the most important item on
the docket in many of the West
Tennessee counties at the quarterly
term OF court last Monday.
At Jackson the country court by
a vote of "a to 10 decided to issue
$4,000 bonds for grading all roads
from Jackson FIVE miles IN every
direction.
Down in Lauderdale county a
very decided step in favor of good
roads was also made by declaring
that all public thoroughfares in the
county be made first, second and
and third class roads. The
first class calls for twenty-five to
fifty feet wide, which will make all
roads leading into Ripley first class.
This will prove great help in keep.

CO to New Orleans as Military
Company.

to whether or not the veterans
should go to New Orleans as mem
bers of the Camp in a body or or
ganize military company, 1nclud-
Jug the sons of veterans, for the
purpose of securing benefits offered
in the way of special quarters and
free entertainment in New Orleans.

be elected at meeting on the first
Monday in May.
Mr. Mcdowell made his report as
committeeman OH transportation
which provides arrangements with
the Illinois Central Railroad as the
official route. The report was
adopted.
Arrangements were made for the
purchase of guns by several of the
comrades.
DR.. McRee stated that Col. Jno.
M. Taylor had requested himto say
that he wanted a man from this
Camp on his staff, upon which DR..
z, N. Matlock was put in nomina-
tion and elected unanimously.
A subscription was taken for the
purpose of having roster of the
Confederates' names included in
che Souvenir and official Hand Book

ed upon the Confederates by John

general, calling Confederates de-
serters and frauds.
The Camp adjourned to meet the
flrst Monday in May.

cred to negotiate with the Republican Steering Committee with a view to agree ing on a general reorganization. But so far as there was expression of opinion on this point, 1t was favorable to the view of leaving the question of reorganization on general lines to be determined by the Republicans as they are in power. There is no doubt. however, that the Demo- cratic Steering Committee will insist upon having some of the committees filled for the reason that the Democratic party has lost quite heavily in some of the com mittees which are in control of present business. They will ask for instance that the vacancies on the Committee on For eign Relations be filled.
 Senator Baily retired from the Commit tee before the adjournment of the last Congress and by unanimous consent Sem ator Clark of Montana, was appointed to the vacancy. It is expected the Steering Committee will confirm this action and also will name successor to Senator Rawlins on the same Committee. It is thought necessary to have these vacancies filled immediately as that Committee will have to deal with the pending treaties.
 They will also ask that the Democratic vacancies on the Committee on Inter Oceanic Canals caused by the retirement from the Senate of Messrs. Harris and Turner shall be filled. It is probable that they will ask that the places vacated by Senators Vest and Turner on the Com rnittee of Commerce shall be filled before the nomination of Dr. Crum to be Col lector at the port of Charleston is taken up by that Committee. A similar demand probably will be made fin other chambers where the Democrats have charges of over which there may be The caucus was in session for almost two hours.

serious Situation Confronts the
 Manufacturers.
 Philadelphia, March 6.-The Public Ledg- CT today says:
 Never in the history of the window glass industry in this country, 1t is said, have manufacturers and 1obbers been con fronted with such serious situation as at present. If the plans of a number of leading producers to close down their fac tories temporarily are successful. 1t Is said. higher prices are assured, while if 1t fails it is predicted here that the most ruinous price war which has ever been inaugurated will be certainty. There is only one safe way out of the difficult. said leading local tobber, and that is by closing the factories.
 If suspension of operations takes place, a better demand for glass will naturally follow and all are assured profit able prices on their present holdings and the output of factories between now and the time to shut down will he greatly in- creased. If. however. sufficient number of manufacturers persist in working their factories prices are sure to be cut so deep that every box of glass made during the coming season will have to be sold at loss. In the event of the factories failing to go out of blast a cut of 40 per cent would not be surprising and those familiar with the business the cost of ma terfal and the high wages. know what ti means.
 It has been estimated by those in a po- sition to know that there are now in the hands of manufacturers about two mill lion boxes of glass, one-half of which IS h the warehouses of the American Window Glass Company.

LIEUTENANT LUNG.
Believed to Have Come to Collect
 Money for Chinese Rebels,


 Victoria, B. C., March 6-The report is current among the local Chinese mer- chants that the object of the ocming of Lung Kai Chew. first lieutenant of Rang Yu Wei to this continent Is to accumu- late funds for the rebel movement now going on in Southern China, and arrange for the shipment of arms and war muni- tons for the rebels. Lung Kai Chew says he has ocme to make arrangements for the establishment of a mercantile company.
 Chinese report that the leader of the rebels in Southern China in Canton is Lung Mo Kwong. Local Chinese point out that 1t Is interesting that his family name Is the same as of Lung Kai Chew. They also point out that fact that like Rank Yu Wei, Leung Kai Chew is Cantonese. The Chinese point out that Loung KaiChew has issued a pamphlet In Southern China in which he advises the opinion that the people of Kwang Si and Kwang Tung the seat of the insur- rection now prevailing should secede from China and establish a kingdom made up of the two Kwaings.
 To further this scheme, so the reports go. Loung Kai Chew has come to this continent to accumulate funds by sub scription at all the numerous branches of the Chinese empire reform association n Canada and the United States. It Is also stated that the program includes the arrangement of the shipment of arms from this continent to China.
