The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-03-31
To Meet the People OF the Valley.

10 Meef the People OF the valley.
Messrs. Edwin T. Moore, w.
c. Mcclure and John A. Stinson.
three of our most enterprisinR
citizens as we'll as three of the
most enthusiastic promoters of
the Colum bus, Memphis and
Pensacola Railroad, leave this
city early next week for the pur-
pose of interesting the people of
the great Bigbee Valley south of
US in this project 1t is their in
tention to visit the sections on
both sides of the river south of
Columbus and they will meet the
people of Pickensville, Bigbee
Valley, Memphis and Fairfield,
and will lay before them the I'M
dertaking in which Columbus and
all this section feels such a deep
interest.
The section south of Colum bus
is one of the most fertile on the
globe. Its agricultural interests
are vast, while there is untold
tim Der wealth awaiting develop
ment in the river bottoms. The
people of these sections have
long been without railroad con
nection with the outside world
and they have longed to get in
touch with the country through
the medium of such a line. 1t is
proposed TO place before them
the Colum bus, Memphis and
Pensacola Railroad and to ask
what support and encouragement
can be relied upon if the road is
built into that territory. The
gentlemen who will undertake
this work are prepared for bust
ness and no subscription. no do
nation or bonus will be asked ex-
cept upon the assurance that ii
is not to be paid until the road
is in operation.
In this connection it is well to
remember that there is already
a roadbed graded and in a re
markable state of preservation
running southeast from this city
towards Pickensville. 1t is the
old Forest railroad and with lit
tie work on this line it could be
made ready for track laying
1t is understood that this road is
graded for a distance of fourteen
miles southeast of this city and
right in line with one of the pro
posed routes of the new line
Thus it will be seen that the
building of line into the section
southeast of US is more practica
BILE and feasible than one nigh
at first suppose.
Tt is hoped that the people o
; the Valley will manifest an inter
est and appreciation of the mat
; ter to be placed before then
worthy of its magnitude and i'm
; portance. If they can be relieC
upon to help the enterprise alonl
with grants of right of way ant
other subscriptions of stock pay
; able when the road is in opera
ton there will be no trouble il
; financing the undertaking an'
building the line south from thi
; city. Messrs. Moore, McClur
and Stinson will be engaged il
the task before them the create
part of next week, and the pee
pie of the Bigbee Valley shoulc
prepare for their coming

court states that the case was confirmed
the court holding that the writ of pro-
hibition did not lie.
A Charleston newspaper dispatch also
says the slot machine case was decided
against the machine, Judge Brannon de-
1iyering the opinion.
The messages are SO vague that the at

features of the case were decided or
whether the machine is regarded by the
court as gambling device.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow. better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while Others stay
mall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
sasy way out of the difficulty.
-,hiid weakness often means
tarvation, not because of lack
If food. but because the food
.loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
nd gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
It and set the matter right.

THE LATEST LIST.
What Seems to be Nearly..Correct Gives
Out at St. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24:-Satur-
day and Sunday are reported to have
been quiet days at the front save for
a great many minor out post affairs.
The official list of the Russian casual
ties in the ten days fighting at the
great battle of the Shakhe river which
was issued today shows one general
two hundred and fifty seven officers
and seventeen thousand men killed.
Three generals, three hundred
officers and nearly twenty-five thous-

lost numbered ninety-one and those
taken thirty-seven. The Russians
took nineteen hundred prisoners and

are on board a mission ship The
only slightly Injured member of the
crew has arrived here.
London, Oct. 24.-The night at
tack on the Gamecock fishing fleet
has aroused Great Britain as no other
event in the memory of the present
generation. The people and press
ciamor against Russia as against no
other power in the past fifty years.
The newspapers demand immediate
action and the heartiest support IS
gwen them by their readers In
unprecedentedly bitter attacks on the
Russian government. Lord Lans-
| downe has fastened to London today
from his country home. The Rus
sian ambassador who is now in Ger
many is returning with all possible
speed. 1t is not believed that Eng
lands demand in the matter will as
sumo official shape until night. The
Baltic Fleet at noon today passed
Attorney Island near the west en-
trance of the British Channel. Joseph
Smos, one of the captains killed by
the Russians had an appointment for
conference with the foreign Office
today.
Pail Mall, Oct. 24.-Further and
more definite inquiry in regard to the
firing by the Baltic Fleet on English
fishing vessels shows that fifteen
trawlers composed the Gamecock
Fishing Fleet. Of this number six
we're struck. Four Russian Vessels
participated in the firing which con-
sisted of about three hundred shots.
The mayor of Hull has telegraphed
to Premier Balfour: 'sThe greatest
indignation prevails in this city as a
result of the wanton and unpreceden-
ted attack upon fishing feet here,
mourning the loss of two mems lives
and the serious injury of about twenty
others. We appeal to the government
to take the strongest possible methods
to secure full redress and complete
security against any further Russian
outrages.''
The Russian Fleet is said to have
been sixty miles off of the regular
sea course when it encountered the
fishermen. A witness states that
blank shots were fired first. The
opinion advanced is that the fisher
men did not understand the sigaals
and got inside of the warship lines
whereupon they were fired at.
One fishing vessel which was
thought to be sunk, by the Russians
has been. reported safe.
