They belonged to tho nnion of fishermen. and should their bodies be found they will all be given a decent burial. The outgoing fisher men are all looking out for remnants of the lost vessel.
 The loss of the Florida Is sometnlhs Tlys' T6e vessel ss was in plain view of a mum her of others when the storm fell upon them. All picked up their anchors ana n q was then making to port, was never seen more.

The officers who command the sev. eral organizations of the serVice vl tns Alabama National Guard meet Tn us city today to discuss questions of the gravest importance to the entire cltl- zen soldiery of the State.
 It is understood that the lr anclal condition of each Is satisfactory, the indebtedness of the last camp having been liquidated or arrangements hAV- Ing been made to that end. Tn some instances the officers and men have to pay the debt and in many cases the oficers have voluntarily given up ali of their pay for this purpose.
 The officer is not entitled to anything in camp but his pay and Is expected to provide himself with all the necess saries that are given to the men ana done this?

 The officer must make up his mind to do his part and get the principle well fixed- in. his mind that there IS . this difference and distincton DetWes sl settled there will be no more trouble. It ought to be a rule not to be depars- ed from that debts should not be made poses, as only the money available should be spent by each organization: These debts that have been made each year have not been in any case help full and in most cases have proven of great injury to the service and should not be made in future.
 Most of the companies need clothing; especially for light summer wear, ana the officers are discussing this matter It seemssto be the general opinion that the blue Shirt and khaki trousers will be most acceptable to the men and will certainly be more comfortable and seasonable.

This osition being to establish a cheap trans
 The railroad company is juste now talking very little of the measure; some of the patronage of the colored population, but the great many more white people who are riding offsets to d large extent the loss of the negroes.
 The negroes are just now trying to discourage every member of their race from riding on the cars, and in accord . have been held on the subject. every black person Is importuned to keep from the cars for the jeers of the ones on the line are something bordering on the disorderly when black person IS seen in the cars. They are all dubbed "Jim Crow" and this is especially and more loudly shouted when there Is no policeman In sight.
 The status of the objectionable measure is interesting Just before the Legislature adjourned to come to Fen sacola two weeks ago, the bill was made matter of special order ana passed thc lower house as compliment to MT, Avery, the young legislator from this city who introduced 1t. The bill then went to the Senate and was intro duced without endorsement by Mir Blount of this city. Just when 1t will be called up and be disposed of It mol | known.

will pronounce his lasting memorial,
and uncounted numbers of the younger
generation are reaping in the fields he
taught them to plant"
