dent has directed the curtailment OF
the movement of the Twelfth cavalry

S. Sherwood, son of Gen. Sherman,

Gen. Sherman's march to the sea.
Instead, the trip may be made from
Fort Oglethorpe as far as Resaca,
which is within about fifty miles OF
Fort Oglethorpe, when the cavalry
detachment is to return to the latter
place. Orders to this effect were
given following the receipt of mes
sage from Grigadier-General Duvall,
commanding the department of the
gulf, by whose authority the detach-
ment was ordered to accompany Fa-
Their Sherman, and a conference on
the subject between President Roose-
welt and Gen. Bell. chief of staff of
the army.
In response to a dispatch sent to
HIM by the war department regarding
the report that a military escort had
man, a son of the late Gen. w. T..
Sherman, for march to the sea over
the route Gen. Sherman took during
the civil war. the war department
received the following telegram FROM

operations of Gen. Sherman's army
in its movements to Atlanta and to
act as escort for Father Sherman, a
son OF the late Gen. Sherman, who

ested in study of former operations

The future candidacy for Governor
never in one instance caused Speaker
E n. Thomas to fail to take stand
on any question that came before the
House Every vote he cast was in a
clear voice. and when it came to an
issue which would have given him
votes had he supported it, the grant
ing of a ten million dollar corpora
ton, he not only voted to restrict II
to two million, but spoke against it,
because he believed 1t against the
best interest of the State.

A number of our business men have
united into plan by which they pro-
pose to give away to some popular
institution in the city $500 library.
The plan of deciding the place where
the library will be placed is to give
for every Ioc purchase made in either
one of the stores a vote for the Ii
brary. That the object is a worthy
one and that the place that secures
it will receive valuable prize. there
is no question. and we believe II will
before the close prove an exciting
contest. The library is on exhibi-
ton in the window of the helms &

The high degree OF activity which has
dominated the domestic pig iron markets for
all that relates to prompt metal was a~cceler-
ated toward the close Of the past week by
the thrush Of orders for spot Northern. West
ern and Southern iron. At the weeks end
little domestic iron available for November
shipments was in the market, and for Decem-
Der metal prices took a sudden upward move
ment. Several local agencies are sold out
in domestic iron for shipments earlier than
January, and are filing In SO far as possible
with sales of foreign pig iron. which is be
ginning to come in large tonnaGes. There are
a dozen steamships on the Western ocean
loaded in part with pig iron that will help
out the acute famine that affects many
foundries In the north Atlantic States. Con-
ditions warrant the opinion that is expressed
by most founders that prime foundry iron
will be dear throughout next year. For a
long time consumption has been ahead Of
production in domestic iron. As the steel
makers view the outlook for basic and besse-
mer iron consumption is gaining upon pro-
duction so that prices will 'ule high through
