man, vice-president; Sidney Bluhm,

tees will be announced within the

stucted to write letters to the super
intendents of both the Postal and
Western Uunion Telegraph eompan-
les and urge upon them the necessity
for opening their local offices. The
public generally, and especially the
cotton men of Columbus, are being
greatly inconvenienced by the lack
of telegraphic facilities, and the Cot
ton Exchange will make strenuous
effort to have the local offices of both
the Postal and the Western Union
reopened at an early date.
The following is a copy of the let
ter which Secretary Bluhm. in COM
pliance with instructions from the
Cotton Exchange. on yesterday adj
dressed to the superintendents of

Dear Sir-The Columbus Cotton |
Exchange, at a called meeting held |
September goth, directs me, their sec
retary, to ask that you take immedi-
ate steps to open your Office here and
put competent operator in charge.

the cotton for want of a wire. The
whole business of this city hinges on
cotton, and everything will be at a
standstill If the buyers cannot move
the cotton. Your immediate atten-
ton to this request is urged and an
answer asked for Respectfully,

cupied the chair of mathematics at
the college, has rendered his resig-
nation to accept a position as assist

cities and resorts have already ar
rived, and the college is already be-
ginning to present quite an animated
The college will be open

row, and it is expected that by Tues

sue their studies there Turing the
coming session will have arrived.

sac Blower Visits Vernon.

Vernon, the county seat Of Lamar
county, Ala, was visited by a safe
blower last Wednesday night. and
two safes were blown open and rob-
bed. The burglar first entered the
store of Mr.. j. NJ. Guyton, where he
secured S1,1SO, which was in Mr.
| GuytOn's safe. He then went to the
store of Mr.. r. G. Cobb, where he
secured about $50 in cash and some
valuable papers. The papers taken
were notes, and are not of a negotia-
bic character, but it is supposed that
the burglar was in hurry and swip-
ed everything in sight without hay
! ing taken time to make ( close ex-
animation of the swag. From Mr.
Cobb's store the craftsman went to
the home of Sheriff J. II. Hill, and
rode to Gatman, a nearby station, on
the Frisco Railroad. where the horse
was found on the following day
The robber did his work so quietly
that none Of the people knew any
thing OF his nocturnal visit until the
following morning. Late in the night
sleepers heard a mufied noise, but
the sound was not loud enough to
cause alarm, and after merely turn
ing over in their beds they resumed
their slumbers.
Mr.. J. NJ. Guyton, one of the vic
Tins of the robbery, is a brother OF
Mr.. J. /. Guyton, of this city, and
the latter went to Vernon Thursday
to lend what aid he could in erecting
the capture of the robber. Sheriff |
Rigdon, of Jefferson county, was ap-
pealed to for bloodhounds and sent
his pack to Vernon to be used in the
effort which is being made to track
the robber.
T. B. Edwards, a man living in
Monroe county, was arrested at his
home Friday. charged with having
the crime. He was fol-
owed by Sheriff Hill. of Lamar eoun-
y, and posse of citizens, with blood
lounds. and the trail led across the
Mountains to his home. When ar
'ested Edwards denied having been
Lway from home, but a member of
he sheriff's posse declared that he
lad seen him twenty miles from his {
iome on the previous day. Edwards $
lad no money on his person when ar t
ested, and as about s1100 was taken ]
rom the two safes at Vernon it is j
elieved that he either had pal or t
1se has secreted the money in some =
lace known only to himself. d
