The many protests against the

ty.ffth Infantry. which, according to
the Associated Press, are pouring in
on the War Department, show clear
~ that the gross injustice Of the rn!'
ing is apparent to all. We are inclin.
ed to think that If Mr.. Roosevelt were
at his post of duty. some modification
of his order would have been made
ere this. But, since he is travelling
abroad, no subordinate has dared 10
check the carrying out of his will.
This is a result Of the government bV
one person we are getting under Mi.
Roosevelt Under other administra'
lions matter like this would be left
TO the head of the War Department.
In that region the view Of the Evening
Post, that the proper procedure was
TO try the officers, seems now to have
adopted; at least it is reported that
the commander of the battalion and
two other officers are under arrest
awaiting trial-two months after the
event which has caused all the dis
turbance. 1t is also reported that the
President exceeded his legal author
ity in attempting to debar forever"
the discharged men from civil en-
ployment by the government. But,
then, Mr. Roosevelt, has never let a
little thing like that stand in his way.

pointed by the government to visit

after the amount of cotton ginned).

Milton was $40 and l paid $50 for my.
self and four others. There were seven
passengers, besides the mail. baggage
and express. Mark Mayo, the father
OF Century, was the driver. There was
a freshet in the river which made it
mile wide and we had to cross in a
bateau through the swamp to the
hack on the other side. Thirty miles
TO Milton and only three small houses
on the road. About six miles from
Pollard we came to Pinelevel. or old
Cobb Field. There was a race track
where the settlers would go to race
their native ponies and fight chick
ems. Whefe there was only one small
house today is the prosperous town OF
Jay, with its cotton gins, saw mills,
stores, with fine stocks of goods, ho-
tells, stables and everything necessary
to make up thriving town. The
streets were crowded with wagons
loaded with cotton on the way to the
gins.
