Recent Ruling OF Texas
Judge Results
Badly.

A special from jackson under
date of last Monday has the fol-
lowing to say of serious prob
lem which now confronts the
tenn perance people of the State
A great deal is being written
and said just now about the c..
0. D. system of selling whisky
in Mississippi. 1t has come to
pass that the wholesale whisky
dealers of other States have
found loophole in the interstate
commerce law through which
they are enabled to ship their
wet goods to any express Office
in the State, collect on delivery.
The shipper may then send an
agent to the town, or he may Sc
cure the services of local agent,
to dispose of the goods.
Both schemes are worked in
this city on a huge scale, and
the Prohibitionists are alar rmed
and seriously consider making a
test case to see if the decision of
the Texas Judge will hold good.
Until two months ago a G. o. D..
jug or package of whisky was
not known in the State of Mis-
sissippi. However, the business
has grown at a marvellous rate,
and whisky drummers are as
common as pig tracks around a
persimmon tree. DR.. E. A. Row
an, ex-State Senator from Co
piah, and one of the most promi-
nent cold water advocates in Mis-
sissippi. says every express of
fee in the State has become a
wholesale stand for the distribu-
ton of strong drinks, whisky,
handy. etc. "
The situation may not be quite
so bad as that, but it's pad
enough to set every prohibition
ist to thinking seriously of court
proceedings. -

Japanese Flagship DESTROYED.

A telegram received at the
local office of Messrs. Hayward,
Harris & Co. yesterday brought
the news Of the destruction of
the Japanese flagship, Mikasa,
which together with her crew
mum bering $50 men was com
pletely lost. The cablegram con
veying the news was sent out
from Toxic and failed to give
any of the details of the disaster.

VETERANS BARBECUE LATEST FEVER NEWS (
Old Soldiers Will Enjoy
Themselves On Next
Friday.

Extensive preparations are be-
ing made for the barbecue which
is to be given by the Confederate
veterans of Columbus and sur
rounding territory next Friday.
The barbecue will take place at
the plantation of Capt. H. D.
Foote, one mile north of this city,
which is an ideal spot for an
outing of this character, there
being splendid water, an abun-
dance of shade and every natur-
al advantage which could pos
sibly add to the comfort of those
who are in attendance. The COM
mittee on arrangements for the
barbecue consists of Capt. F. A.
Gunter, Col. A. S. Payne and
Mr.. John Wells, and nothing
which could possibly add to the
success of the affair has been left
undone.
It is the purpose of the veter-
ans to have gathering Of this
kind every year where the heroes
who wore the gray can mingle to-
gether and exchange, stories and
experiences of the greatest inter-
nescence struggle that the world
ever witnessee. At these reunions
a report concerning the condition
of all the local veterans will be
made and the names Of those who
have passed over the Silent River
will be read. The old veterans
are rapidly passing away, and
the main object in view is to
bring those Who still remain
closer together and to see that no
comrade spends his declining
days in poverty or want.

The yellow fever situation in

the public mind. With the peace

lence in this sectinn continues 10

Monday was as follows New
cases SO: deaths none. To show
with what success the officials
have com batted the spread of the
disease. using the mosquito
theory, it is only necessary to
com pare the record of Monday
of this year with the correspond
ing date in 1873. The fever be-
gan in New Orleans about the
same time of the year and con-
tinued to spread until Septem-
Der II. 1873, when there was go

day there were only 38 new cases
and no deaths.
The condition in Mississippi
continues good. Although the
fever has appeared in several
places in the State it has not be.
come epidemic anywhere and the
efforts being put forth to pre-
vent it's spread have proven sue
cessful. Gulfport, Mississippi
City. Natchez and Vicksburg
have a new case occasionally but
there is no pronounced spread of
the diseese and the death rate is
practically nothing.
A few weeks more and the ex-
element and the epidemic of

has found expression Ia so many

who own and control this in
stitution are considering the
subject with a view of making
this this spot as attractive and as
beautiful as any cemetery in the
State. This has been an especial
~ hard year on the cemetery.
The continued rains have caused
the vegetation there to thrive be-
yond provisions for it's control
and the result is that the condi-
tion of the burial ground of Co
lum bus is worse than it has been
for years.
1t is a realization of this con-
dition and desire to make this
hallowed spot what it ought to be
which has aroused the local
lodge TO action and in the work
which they will undertake it is
hoped and expected and believed
that they will have the cordial
cooperation and support of the
people Of this community.
Contracts will soon be placed
for the cleaning of the cemetery
from fence to fence. The walks
and squares will be cleaned and
the shrubbery trim med and the
litter and rubbishremoved. Once
in first class condition provision
will be made to keep it that way,
and that the task may not be too
burdensome to the local lodge all
square owners are urged to put
their property in good condition
and are urged to keep it improv-
ed and beautifed.
1t is hoped to have the city
water extended to the cemetery
so that the flowers and shrub
berry so necessary to the adorn-
ment of the place may be kept
in condition and protected and
following the extension of the
water mains many other i'm
provements will be undertaken.
The work will begin this week
and all are urged to take hand
in it that the task may be sue

Capt. Wood, of Armstead's bri-

not shot had been fred at us,
nor had we been able to see be-

lik e a pail, that there was an enc

Gen. Hunt, commanding the
Federal artillery, states: 81 had
counted on an artillery cross fire
that would stop Pickett's division
before it reached our line but ex-
cept a few shots here and there,

Second. Maj. Hall. of Fifth
New Hampshire Regiment, says:
''There is not a shadow of doubt
in my mind but that the sons of
North Carolina, Tennessee and
Mississippi carved on the tablets
of history equal laurels with the
sons of Virginia on the great
event of that supreme attempt to
gain victory at Cemetery Ridge. !"
Maj. Hall was not only a partici-
pant in the battle, but the propri-
etor of Cyclorama representing
its scenes.
Maj. Robbins, of Fourth Ala
bama Regiment and Gettysburg
Battlefield Commissioner, said j:
"And while Armistead and his
heroic followers were over in the
Angle, where were Pettigrew's
thin but gallant batteries? They
were making desperate effort to
storm the high stone wall eighty
yards east of the Angle and were
being moved down like grain be-
fore the reaper by the double
line of infantry behind the wall.
A few men did reach it, but find
ing it too high to leap over could
do nothing but surrender.
Col. Bockelder, Federal Bat
tlefield Commissioner, wrote:
''The left Of the column continued
to move on towards the second
wall, threatening the right and
rear of Gibbons division which
held the advance line. Gen.
Webb, whose brigade was on the
right Gin the projection) had hur-
ried back to bring up his right
reserve regiment from the second
line. But before this could be
accomplished the first line broke

threatened its front and flank and
fell back upon the reserve. .

my was most persistent, after the

GETTYSBURG RECORD

The Battle.

review of incidents in the history
of Co. E, 18th Reg. Miss. lnft.,
C. S. A, suggests the propriety,
as well as timeliness of interpret
ing certain facts connected with
the battle of Gettysburg, in which
this company took a prominent
part.
Some one has said: ITO most
of US history is a string of bright
deeds, sort of diamond necklace,
the brilliance of whose gems OBJ
scures the setting" So we see
at Thermopylae only Leonidas
and his three hundred Spartans;
from Balacl4va we hear only the
laundering hoofs of the Light
Brigade; at Waterloo We see only
Ney and the Old Guard, with
back to the field and face to the
foe, and at Gettysburg only Pick
EFT and his Virginians marching
on to glory.
STEADY they step adown the slope,
Steady they climb the hill,
Steady they load, steady they fire,
Marching right onward still"
However obscured forty years
ago by the froth of poetic fancy
and the ebullition of crude histo-
rians, post bellum literature in
the last instance at least, has re-
lieved the setting of much of its
obscurity.
To a student CT Confederate
history a bare mention of facts
leading up TO the action of the
third day at Gettysburg is un-
necessary. At that time the army
of Gen. Meade was posted behind
the stone wa | crowning Cemetery
Ridge. This wall is an irregular
line north and south. Near the
center, it recedes thirty yards,
forming what is known as the
"Angle. y Three-quarters of a
mile to the west lay the army of
Gen. Lee. An assault of the
Federal position having been de-
termined upon, to Gen. Long
street was assigned the duty of
its direction. Of the nine divis-
ions present, two, those of Genls.
Heath and Pickett, were selected
as the assaulting column under
command of the latter. After the
most terrific and prolonged artil-
lery duel in the annals Of Ameri-
can warfare the column advanc-
ed, Pickett s division on the right,
Heath's on the left. A part of
Armistead' brigade of Pickett's
division crossed the wall near to
and South of the point of the
Angle, Gen. Armstead falling
thirty three yards within the enc
mics lines. The objective point
of Heaths division being to the
North or left of the Angle, the
distance traversed was necessa-
rally thirty yards greater. A
part of the division, however,
reached the wall and just here
the high water mark of the Con-
federacy" was reached.
Why part of our division was
able to cross the wall while the
other failed to do so, and which
went fartherest to the front,
are subjects of discussion by sur
viving participants of Virginia
and North Carolina. Tennes-
seeans and Mississippians mod
estly withhold special claims, pre-
ferring to leave to correctly in
formed posterity the privilege of
deciding what a soldier must en-
dure, what obstacles he must
overcome and how far to the
front he must go to constitute
himself hero. As an aid in
that direction, simile for the pres
ent is discarded and statements
of participants on both sides,
Federal and Confederate, are col
lated.
