Not Enough Cars.

The Railroad Commission of Mis-.
sissippi is in receipt of numerous COM
plants from cotton factors, merchants
and shippers generally that they are
unable to obtain sufficient cars from
the railroads to move the cotton crop,
and the Car famine is causing much
annoyance and delay in the interior
movement of the staple. The COM
plants are especially frequent from
along the line of the Southern Rail-
way. Nearly all the railroads are
putting forth their best efforts to
move the crop, some of them having
placed fiat cars and gondola cars in
service for this purpose. The early
picking of the crop is one of the chi ei
causes of delay. the general marketing
being much sooner than expected.

PARKS ELEMENT WINS.
Resolution Passed Ordering Strike All

strike by the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers to force recognition of local
No. 2 by the Iron League and EN-
ployers' association eliminated st a
meeting of the international and local
committees of the association held in
this city. resolution passed ordering
a strike ell over the couutry. in all
cities where the members of the Iron
League of Building Trade Employees
associations have contracts. President
Buchanan was in favor of exhausting
all efforts to bring about peacable
settlement, but the Parks element
thought this too slow and carried the
majority with them. The interna-
tional executive committee estimates
that 10000 workers will be directly
affected. This would mean the throw
ing out of work OF from 100, 900 to
$50, 900 men, and possibly more work
men in other grades.

Disastrous to Gins.

During the drouth which has pre-

several weeks, over two dozen cotton

costly plants have been destroyed by

not bring report OF a cotton gi n

Of this class Is especially unfortunate

COLUMBUS PEOPLE
ARE NOW HOPEFUL
The Tombigbee Investigating Committee
Reports That the
RIVER IS NOW NAY1GABLE.
Memorial Will Be Presented to Congress
Asking An Appropriation to Build
Dams and Locks and Otherwise I'm.
prove the Waterways.

The examination of the Tombigbee
river for the purpose of estimating
the probable outlay necessary to put
the stream in q navigable condition
between Columbus and Epps, Ala,
has been completed, and Capt. Oraign-
hill, of Mobile, Ala, chief engineer of
the southern streams; Congressman
Bankhead, from Fayetteville, Ala,
who were appointed by the last session
of congress to make the Investigation,
have returned to their homes. These
officials were accompanied on their ex-
ploration by Mr.. E. r. Shereman, Of
Columbus, and that gentleman will in
corporate in the memorial which Is to
be presented to congress resume of
the work completed on the trip, and
urge that an adequate appropriation be
made for the completion of the work.
The memorial will be backed up by
the report of Capt. Craignhill, who
states that the Tombigbee is eas lily
susceptible to improvement, and that
the dams and locks necessary to make
the stream navigable the year round
can be installed at q comparatively
small cost. For many years past 1t has
been the hopes of the merchant Of
Columbus and the planters of the sur
rounding country that the river would
soon be placed in the very much need
ed condition, and it now seems that
their hopes in this direction are to be
realized. Not only have Congressman
Bankhead, of Alabama. aud Senator
McLaurin, of Mississippi, and Con-
gressman Oandler. of this State, en-
tered into the spirit of the movement.
but they are being assisted by large
number OF prominent men from both
States, and the project of the scheme
now seems assured.
