IN REPLY TO BLANCHARD

Health.

jackson, Miss, July 29.-Governor
Vardaman this afternoon made reply
TO the interview of Governor Blanch-
ard, of Louisiana, in which the latter
called upon Governor Nardaman TO
prove his charges against the health
boards of Louisiana and New orleans.
Governor Vardaman said:
81 can hardly think the governor OF
Louisiana needs any proof OF the
charges against the health officials OF
louisiana | believe, and think eF-
erybody else believes, that they knew
that there were ag reat many cases OIL
yellow fever in the city of New orleans
long before the official announcement
of that fact was made one week ago
today. This is a very serious matter,
which affects Mississippi, as we'll as
louisiana. If this threatened plague
shall spread through Mississippi, Ala
bama and the rura! districts OF LOUISE
ana, it will be due, in my judgment, 10
th efailure of the health officers OF
New Orleans and the chief health ON
GERS of the state of Louisiana to SOUND
the note of warning when 1T shoulu
have been sounded. [ would not 90
any man an injustice but [ feel that
the wrong done the people OF Mlssls-

RUSSIA'S CRUSHING DEFEAT.
The Great Sea Victory Won BY Togo
Grows In Magnitude.

Adyices from Toxic serve only
to emphasize The crushing nature
of the Russian defeat on the sea.
No more vessels have been add
ed to the list Of the losses, except
the Izumrud, which was blown up
By her captain to escape capture,
but the ease with which the Japan
ese won the victory is more ap-
parent, and the triumph was
achieved by the combined forces
of the squadron, guns playing,
perhaps, more important part in
the action than torpedoes.
Admiral Roiestvensky is in the
hands of the Japanese at Sasebo,
and said to be in a dying condi-
tion from a wound in the head.
lie has other wounds, but they
are less serious. The report uf
Rear Admiral Voelkersam,s death
is confirmed, and the total Rus
sian losses are estimated at 1000
killed or wounded and 1900 pris-
oners, including Rear Admiral
Nebogatof. The only boats Of
the proud Russian fleet which
have reached Vladivostok are the
Almaz, light armored cruiser,
and two torpedo boats.
Summing up Japan's losses in
the battle Admiral Togo says:
Later reports show that dur
ing the night Of May 27, our tor
pedo boats Nos. 81, 35 and 95
were sunk by the enemy's FIRE.
Comrades rescued the majority of
their crews. Besides the above
there was no damage worth re-
porting. No warship nor destroy
er suffered any loss of fighting or
navigating power.
I'VE anticipated a heavy loss of
life, but find that our casualties
were comparatively slight. They
do not exceed 800 killed and
wounded. The casualty reports
will be rendered as speedily as
possible in order to reassure FAM
lilies and friends"
There is nothing yet to justify
hopes of speedy peace.
Rumors that the Gar had COM
mitted suicide or had been assas-
sinated, following a wish for death
rather than an ignominious sur
render, are current, but have been
officially denied.
There are also reports that
France is strongly urging her ally
to make terms under threat of
calling on the Powers to compel
the belligerents to reach an agree
ment.

THE PRESIDENT COMING SOUTH.
He Will Visit Several Southern States
in October.


Washington, June l. President
Roosevelt will start on his trip
through the South next autumn
on the night of the 18th Of Octo-
Der. This announcement was
made at the White House today.
Coupled with it was the statement
that the extraordinary session of
Congress, which it is the present
inteDtion of President Roosevelt
to call, will not begin until after
the November elections.
The President had intended to
begin his Southern trip early in
October, but within a day or two
he has concluded to postpone the
departure until the 18th. The
trip will consume about two
weeks. As yet the itinerary has
not been arranged definitely, but
it is the Presidents intention TO
visit many of the important cities
of the South, including Richmond,
Va, Raleigh and Charlotte, N.
G., Atlanta, Ga, Jacksonville and
perhaps Tampa, Fla, Birming-
ham, Tuskegee, Montgomery and
Mobile, Ala, New Orleans and
Little Rock. The trip will end at
Little Rock and the President and
party will return directly to
Washington from that city. It is
likely that some ctller cities will
be included in the stops made by
the President. The length of the
stops to be made at each place has
not been determined yet, but will
be governed by the necessary ar
rangements to be made hereafter.

be retreated, all the world can tell.
In this campaign our Brigade was
constantly on the firing line and
bore it's part in all that befel the
army, building bridges, throwing
up earthworks, in the rife pits,
on picket duty, in the night at
tack, the daily skirmish, and in
the battles Of Resaca, New Hope
church, Pine Mountain, Lost
Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain,
Peach Tree creek, Atlanta, Big
Shantee, Dalton, Decatur, Frank
lin and Nashville.
After the battle Of Nashville,
our Brigade was the first Of eight
picked Brigades selected by Gen.
Forest and placed under the com
mand Of Gen. Walthall to support
his cavalry and cover the retreat
of Hoods broken army.
After Hood was deposed and
Johnston again placed in COM
nand our Brigade followed him
into the Carolinas, taking part in
several small engagements and in
the battle of Asheville, m. G.
When the end came and John
ston's battle flag was furIed,
thirteen men, all that was left of
Company c., laid down their arms
with him at Greensboro, N. G.
Their names are recorded above.
Such is the story of Company
C., 33rd Mississippi Volunteers,
Army of the, Tennessee as re-
membered by us from its organi-
zation at old Fair River store un-
til it surrendered with Johnston,
at Greensboro, N. g. In it we
have tried to give as briefly and
concisely as possible roster of
the company at its organization,
the different officers in command,
the campaigns in which it was en-
gagged, and what befel our COM
rades-in what battles they were
killed or disabled, where captured
or wounded, etc. We have had to
depend entirely on our memory
and can not say that the list is
perfect. All those marked with
an X are known to be dead. Many
were disabled and have died at
home since the war, others are
missing, and we can not recall
where they met a soldiers death,
whether in the swamps of Missis-
sippi, the mountains of Georgia
and Carolina, or the death swept
valleys of Tennessee. Some, we re-
gret to say, deserted. But we
have here set down as correctly as
we can, all that can be remember
ed by US after the lapse of all the
years, from that bright spring
morning of the long ago when our
comrades, with all the hearts of
the South, kissed their hands to
the Stars and Bars and swore al
legiance to its silken folds"
