digestive organs cannot possibly do the
work demanded Of them. It is at such

CAMP COLUMBUS
 IS IN FULL SWING
All the Companies Have Arrived
 at Headquarters
ONE FULL DRESS PARADE
Soldier Boys Greatly Appreciate the Arrangeme Made for Their EComfort and They Fully
 Enjoy Camp Luxures.

Columbus, Miss, August 6.-(Special.) About 14OO gallant Mississippi soldiers will sleep in Camp Columbus tonight. The full strength of the state guard has arrived and all is well at the tented city. When the programme was first arranged for military movements there was not in- corporated therein any special maneuvers for this afternoon. but the early arrival of troops and quick getting down to military affairs rendered dress parade by the Second regiment appropriate. While all the movements were not of the most sol- dierly fashion. unders a few guidances from Captain Peyton and Lieutenant Brown of the United States regular army, the boys showed up exceedingly well. Col Sam McCants was In charge and handled the regiment finely.
 The first special to arrive came in this morning at 3 o'clock on the Mobile and Ohio and on board were all the companies from the northern part of the state, and all those on a line between Columbus and Cornth and other companies from cities adjacent to the latter city The next spe- cial came in on the Mobile and Ohio and was from the southern part of the state All the coast town companies were aboard together with the Meridian company and all commands between Columbus and that city.
 The first train from the western part of the state came in this afternoon at 2:45 bringing all the companies from in and around Greenville and the northwestern part of the state. The fourth train to arrive came In at 4:45 on the Southern, being made up of companies in and around Vicksburg, Natchez, Jackson and other nearby cities. There was the Jack son company and the other commands from that territory. All trains were switched right into the New South com pany siding only about hundred yards from the camp grounds, and the soldiers hurried to camp.
 The many expressions of satisfaction on account of the tents being stretched and their home in readiness for them showed the boys to be duly appreciative of the way the state was handling them at this encampment. All the shower baths are in position and the men are enjoying the luxury to no small extent The kitchens are all In good shape and the quickness and system with which supper was pre- pared for the commands tonight showed splendid beforehand preparation by those who had charge of the preliminary ar engagements.
 The only thing not as good 1t could be Is the absence of lights. This will be remedied tomorrow, however the wires are on the ground and all that is neces- sary is to string them. Captain Peyton and Lieutenant Brown, United States army, who have been regularly appointed by the government to inspect the Mlsss- sippi guard and report their estimated efficiency. and what they can be counted on as doing for their country in case of war, arrived in camp today and are locat- ed near general headquarters.
