i"The United States Express COM
pany is practically controlled by two
other companies, neither of which
has held a meeting of stockholder
for the purpose of electing directors
for many years. These companies
are the Adams and American Ex-
press companies, the presidents OF
which have been elected directors OF
the United States Express company
about six years ago.
ALTHOUGH requested by share
holders representing more than 5O.-
900 shares-that is to say. more than
one-half of the apitalization-the
officers of the United States Express
company decline to call a meeting
of shareholders for the election of
directors, giving as their reason that
the articles of association, signed
In 1854, provide that a meeting
shall unite in written request FOR
an election of directors"
The minority stockholders argue
that the recent announcement OF a
200 per cent dividend by the Adams
Express company, following increases
last year by the American and Wells
Fargo companies, leaves the United
States Express company alone In It's
position of refusing more liberal
dividends or profits
The presidents of both the Amer
ican and Adams Express companies
are directors in Senator Platt's COM
pany, and the shareholders call at
tention to the fact that while they
have been allowing large returns to
their OWE shareholders. they have
persistently voted to withhold them
from the shareholders of the United
states Express company. 1t IL
rumored that the dissatisfied share
holders are now planning to oust
Senator Platt from the presidency OF
the company.

A LONG TIME
YET TO WAIT
FROM ADVICES FROM WASHING
TON III MAY BE MORE THAN
A YEAR BEFORE POST
OFFICE Is BUILT.
Deal for Site Has Never Yet Been
Secured and No Plans for the
Building of the Edifice
Have Been Executed.

According to advices sent out from
Washington, it may be year, or even
longer. before work on the Federal
building to be erected in this city
commences. 1t seems that all the
men in the Office Of the supervising
architect are behind with their work,
and that the making of plans for the
Federal buildings TO be erected in
different cities throughout the coun-
try is progressing very slowly. There
are more than two hundred of these
buildings to be erected, and separate
plans are to be made for each and
every one.
Columbus, it seems, is worse off
than other cities which We're forum
ate enough to secure appropriations
for government buildings In most
of these cities sites have already been
secured. and the work Of construc-
tion is being delayed only by the ar
chitects, who, as stated above, seem
to be making very slow progress on
the plans. In Columbus, however, no
site has ever been purchased. The
McQuown property at the corner of
College and Sixth streets was selected
by Inspector Nelly when he was here
several months ago, but on account
of a defect in the title no deal for
the property has ever been closed.
The McQuown property lies in the
sixteenth section, and as every six
teenth section in Mississippi is set
aside for school purposes Mr.. Nc
Quown cannot give fee simple title.
The government will not buy the lot
unless a title of this kind can be con-
veyed, and as a consequence no trans
fer has ever been effected.
The only way in which Mr.. Nc
Quown could execute a fee simple
title to the property would be to Sc
cure a special enabling act from the
legislature, and the attorney general
has suggested that this is the best
plan to pursue Nothing has as yet
been done, and it is not known what
action the legislature would take,
up at the next session. As matters
now stand, there seems to be little
prospect of beginning work on the
government building at any time in
the near future, and it seems evident
that the postoffice will remain in its
present quarters for some time to
come.

Project Not Abandoned.

Although the meeting which was
to have been held last Tuesday night
for the purpose of organizing a mer-
chants association failed to material
ize on account of Indifference on the
part of those among whom it was
hoped to arouse interest, the project
has not been abandoned. Only about
half a dozen merchants responded to
the CALL and while no regularly or
ganized meeting was held the matter
was informally discussed, and it was
decided to inaugurate the movement
looking toward the organization of
the association with a banquet. Mr..
w. II. Carter, who is the prime mover
in the undertaking, stated that he had
written TO the secretary of the State
Merchants Association for sugges-
tions regarding the best plan to be
pursued in effecting organization, and
that he had suggested a banquet. The
State secretary also offered to come
here and take charge of the work or
organization, provided his expenses
are paid. and this offer will probably
be accepted.
The date of the banquet has not
as yet been fixed, but it will be held
at the Gilmer Hotel. and will occur
as soon after the opening of the ho-
tel as practicable. The secretary of
the State Merchants Association will
deliver an address in which the plan
of organization will be outlined, and
there will be short, practical talks by
the merchants.

In the death Of Capt. a. L. Myers,
which occurred at his home in Gale
donia last Tuesday, that town has
lost one of its most useful citizens, a
man who will be sorely missed and
one whose death is a source Of sin
cere regret to hundreds of people
who enjoyed his friendship and ad-
mired his many noble qualities. Capt.
Myers had been in bad health for
quite a long time past, and his death
came peacefully after months Of in
tense suffering, which he had borne
with Christian-like resignation and
fortitude.
At the time Of his death Capt. Ny
ers was about seventy years of age,
and his long life had been one of
activity and usefulness. He was a
native of Alabama, and at the begin
ming of the civil war went out as a
member of the Fifty-sixth Alabama
Cavalry, which formed Gen. Fergu-
sons brigade, and served with dis
tinctfon throughout the great inter
nescene struggle. At the close of the
war he settled in Caledonia, and soon
after becoming a resident of that
town was married to Miss Sarah
KoIb. who has been his faithful COM
panion for the past forty years, and
who is now left to mourn the loss of
devoted husband. Capt. Myers
splendid capabilities have not gone
without recognition, and he has serv-
ed his people in several positions of
trust and honor. He was at one time
tax assessor of the county, has served
as a member of the house Of repre-
sentatives, and for a number of years
past has been postmaster at Gale
donia
Capt Myers was a past master OF
Caledonia Lodge No. 280, A. F. and
A. NJ, and the funeral, which occur
red at KoIb cemetery on Thursday
morning, was conducted with Ma
sonic honors. Deceased was an elder
in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church at Caledonia, and Rev. C. NJ.
Zwingle, the pastor of the church,
oficiated at the obsequies.

CHAMBERLAIN FAILS
TO SECURE RELEASE
IN HABEAS CORPUS PROCEED
INGS LAST WEEK PAUL
CHAMBERLIN FAILED
TO SECURE BAIL.
Case Came from NOXubee County.
Where Chamberlain Killed
Bass Brown, and Was
Committed to Jail.

Chancellor McCool held a night
session last Tuesday night to hear
evidence in the application of Paul
Chamberlain for bail on a writ of
habeas corpus. Last August Cham
berlain shot and killed a man named
Bass Brown. The killing occurred at
Shuqualak, and at the preliminary
trial Chamberlain was committed 10
jail without bail to await the action
of the grand jury. At the hearing
before Judge McCool the petitioner
was represented by the Hon. Fl. H
Brooks, of Macon, and Hon. r. Z.
Welborne, of Meridian, while the ir-
terests of the State were looked after
by Hon. Geo. Richardson, of Macon.
The taking of testimony began
about 1880 o'clock Tuesday night,
and was only fairly begun when the
night session ended. When court con-
vened Wednesday morning the eX-
animation of witnesses was resumed
and continued until eleven o'clock,
when the absence of several witnesses
made it necessary to adjourn the
hearing until two o'clock After the
examination of the delayed witnesses
had been concluded, the argument
took place, Messrs. WeIbOrne and
Brooks having spoken in behalf Of
the petitioner and Mr.. Richardson
having addressed the court on behalf
of the State. At the conclusion of
the argument Judge McCool an
nounced that the petition for bail
would be denied, and the petitioner
was remanded to the custody of the
sheriff.
Chamberlain is a mere boy, being
only seventeen years of age, and his
extreme youth excited a great deal
of sympathy among those who wit
messed the habeas corpus proceed
ings. The law applying to such cases
provides that unless the proof IS
evident or the presumption great the
petitioner is entitled to bail" and it
was hoped that the young man might
succeed in obtaining his release
Judge McCool thought, however, that
the evidence against him was con-
vincing, and bail was accordingly
denied
