as follows;
While Colonel Mann is Undergoing a
terrific punishment in the press Of the

thar he was a real SOlO-eT in the real

teries. He went himself and was
made a colonel.
After the war he came TO Mobile
and was editor OF the Mobile Regis
ter. There he helped expose the ter
Tible infamy of the reconstruction
period He made a gallant fight for
the South in those dreadful DAYS.
Colonel Mann invented a sleeping
car infinitely superior TO the Pullman

on the Alabama Great Southern, and
are well remembered. The Pullmans
bought the Mann cars and suppressed
them
