MUST MAKE CONNECTIONS
rhe Railroad Commission Decides
the Selma Case.

The Atlantic Coast Line will have to
make the Selma connection. 1t will be
done by continuing the train from
Rocky Mount to Selma, reaching here
about 1928 in the afternoon. The or
der OF the Corporation Commission
was written Saturday evening by
Chairman Franklin McNeill, but it was
not finished in time to give out in full
for publication. It will compel the At
lantic Coast Line to extend their train
leaving Plymouth at o'clock in the
morning and arriving at Rocky Mount
about IL o'clock so that it will con-
tinue on to Selma and make the con-
nection with the Southern at 2:25. Or,
If the Atlantic Coast Line should pre-
fer it may have the train from Spring
Hope via Rocky Mount to run to Selma
after the arrival of the Plymouth train
at Rocky Mount. In either event the
order will give close connection from
Plymouth, Washington, Greenville,
Tarboro, Rocky Mount, Wilmington
and all eastern points on the Atlantic
Coast Line. The order will be filed
this morning. 1t will be seen that no
change is made in the schedule of the
Southern Railway, and also none in the
regular schedule of the Atlantic Coast
Line train, which now fails to reach
Selma in time. 1t is not believed that
the Atlantic Coast Line will offer any
objection to the order of the COM
mission. The decision was reached
Friday, Chairman McNeill having re-
turned to the city the night before.

noted visitors from other States had
been admitted, the remaining space, by
request Of Mrs. Gordon, was given to
veterans and the doors were closed
and guarded by police. The casket was
laid on a bier covered with a profusion
of flowers sent from all parts of the
South. Among these contributions
was a magnificent wreath ordered by
the ex-Confederate members of the
present Congress. A double quartette
: sang, Lead, Kindly Light" Just AS
Am" and other selections that were
favorites with General Gordon.
The services we're conducted by Rev.
Orme Finn. Prayer was offered by.
Rev. w. ]. Trobridge, and brief ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. ChaS
r. Nisbet and Rev. Theron Rice, pastor
Of the church. The more personal char
acter Of these services, which were at
tended largely by those who had had
personal acquaintance with the dead
general, were pathetic In the extreme.
The benediction was pronounced by
Chaplain Jones and the procession to
lakewood Cemetery was begun.
The order of the procession included
military and civil organizations, be-
sides hundreds of private citizens. The
long line was headed by a detachment
Of mounted police, which was followed
by numerous other bodies. These were
the Sixteeth United States Infantry
band: Sixteenth United States Infan-
try, under Colonel Butler D. Price;
State militia. led by the Fifth Georgia
Infantry, with regimental bands; CON-
panies from Brunswick, Macon and
other cities of Georgia. The honorary
escort followed the hearse. Following
these were the Confederate veteran
camps from Georgia, Alabama, South
Carolina and other Southern States;
veterans from the Soldiers Home,
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
posts of the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie and the procession was ended with
q long line of private citizens. Among
the veterans were seen some who in
sisted on joining the march, though
their progress was slow and clutches
were needed; old men broken with the
weight OF years came from long dis
tances to join theoir tributes with 9TH
ers to the dead commander. The throng
that watched the procession numbered
nearly 10000 and included strangers
from distant cities and States.
The ceremonies at the grave were
simple. AS the body was lowered in
to the earth squad from the Fifth
Georgia Infantry fired three volleys
and taps was sounded. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. w. G.. Woodbridge, pas
tor OF General Gordon's church at

played by the Fifth Regiment band and
