CoURTMARTIAL ORDERED.

Adjutant General Arthur Fridge
has issued the order converting the
courtmartiaI which is to try General
s. r. Kessler, of Greenwood, Miss,
General Kessler being the command
ing officer of the State organization.
He is charged by private of the
Port Gibson company, named Mont
gomery, with slapping him in the
face at the encampment at Gulfport
last summer, a very serious accusa-
tion when it is remem bered that
membership in the State organization
is purely voluntary, that the mem bers
of the militia are among the best
young men of the State, and that they
would no more submit TO such an in
suit than they would fly TO the moon,
unless restrained by the regulations
of military life. When these things
are considered, it will be seen that
the charge against Kessler is a seri-
Gus and grave one.
Montgomery, il is said, has resisted
all efforts to get him TO withdraw his
accusation, and he insists upon a
courtmartial to try the offending Off
Ger. The governor has done the
proper thing in ordering the same,
and it should be thorough and the
commanding officer of the troops of
the State should vindicate himself if
possible, or resign from the service.
The courtmartial will convene in
Jackson on the 18th of March, and
it will be presided over by Col. Wal
ter Weaver of this city. The officers
TO hear the trial will number about
ten or twelve of the leading officers
of the State, and the outcome of the
trial will be awaited with keen in
rerest.

John Alexander Dowie, founder of
the Christian Catholic Church of
Zion, is dead, his death having oc-
Cured at Zion City last Saturday.
About a year ago Dowie was deposed
as leader of the church, and at that
time grave accusations were made
against him, both as to his moral
character and his business methods,
it having been charged that he had
improper relations with various fe-
male followers and that he appro-
priated for personal use trust funds
which, as head of the church, he had
in his keeping. Since his death, how
ever, his former followers have moth
ing but kind words for him, and aver
that in many respects he was an ex-
ceedingly great man. Local interest
in Dowie's death is melted by the fact
that Jno. A. Lewis, formerly vice
president of the Mississippi Cotton
Oil Company, was one Of his discip-
les. Mr.. Lewis joined the Zionists
some two years ago, and when the
split in the church came last year
espoused the cause of the deposed
leader. He stuck to Dowie in his
time of need, and during the contro-
versy with VoIiva as to the ownership
of property valued at many millions
of dollars was the ally and advisor
of the deposed leader. It is not yet
known what course Mr.. Lewis will
pursue now that Dowie is dead, as
press dispatches describing the death
of the prophet make no mention of
the former Mississippian.

Vicksburg seems to be in a saloon
crisis. The council granted a license
to a dive TO sell whiskey, when the
better people of the city appealed to
the supreme court for supercedeas
to estop the sale at this place until
the petition could be heard in the cir
cult court. The saloon keeper has
ignored the writ from the highest
court in the State, has continued to
keep open, sell whiskey, and defying
the laws and outraging public seEti-
ment. And the pity of it all is that
there seems to be a shirking OF re-
sponsibility in the matter, and the
officers shrink from the performance
of their duty in shutting up this sa
loon and making its owner answer to
the outraged law. 1t is this kind of
a sentiment upon the part of the peo-
pie and such acts upon the part of
the upholders of the law which force
men 70 the extreme of the whiskey
question. prohibition, and it would
not be surprising to see the law-abid-
ing people of the Hill City enlist in
its cause.

WORK ON GROUNDS
HAS COMMENCED
LARGE FORCE OF MEN AT WORK
ON BASEBALL GROUNDS,
WHICH WILL BE PUT IN
FINE CONDITION.
Law is Expected to Return from New
Orleans Today, and Upon His
Return will Probably An
nounce Roster of Team.

Columbus never did believe in do
ing things by halves, and having de-
cided to enter the Cotton States base
ball league she's determined not only
to secure a good team, but to have
| grounds that will be first-class in
the grounds in readiness for practice
as soon as the players arrive, a large
force of men were put to work Mon
day, and with scrapers and rollers
they are busily engaged in leveling off
the grounds. Besides leveling off the
grounds and putting both infie1d and
Outfield in first-claSs condition, there
| will be many improvements which
will greatly increase the comfort of
spectators. The grand stand will be
enlarged and improved and bleachers
will be constructed to accommodate
| those who do not care for the some
/ what restraining environment of the
grand stand, but who desire a place
out in the open, where they can not
| only see every play that is made, but
are III q position to breath an unlim-
! IitoG amount Of fresh air to recuperate
| the strength that an excessive amount
| O. roofing" has taken from their
once lusty lungs. Columbus has al
ways been long on ''rooters," and the
coming season will doubtless develop
talent that will lay all previous eff
forts along this line in the shade.
Law is expected to return from
New Orleans tonight, and a telephone
message received from him yester-
day states that he has already signed
several players in addition to those
secured when the Hattiesburg fran
chise was was taken over by Colum-
bus. Lew seems very much encour-
aged at the outlook, and states that
Columbus will have a team which
will be credit to the city.
While the people of Columbus have
always taken a keen interest in base
ball, never before has there existed
as much enthusiasm as has been
evinced since it became known that
Columbus had secured franchise in
the Cotton States League. The mon
ey necessary to finance the club was
raised within a single day, and the
avidity with which our people sub
scribed to the capital stock shows the
great popularity Of the game here.
The opening of the local season it to
be made an event that will never be
forgotten. Every store, Office, mill,
factory, and, in fact, every mercantile
esta blishment and commercial indus
try is expected to close, and the peo-
pie of Columbus are requested to
form themselves into a committee on
the whole for the purpose of going to
Lake Park to witness the first game
of professional ball ever played here,
with home team as one of the con-
testants.
Our people realize the fact that
league ball means a lot for Columbus,
as it not only brings pleasure during
an exceedingly dull season, but ad
vertises the city throughout the en-
tire South. For this reason, and for
the further reason that there are hun
dreds of people here who really love
the sport, the games will be we'll
patronized and the season will be a
success.

Memories of the disastrous fire
which on December 30th, 1908, de-
stroyed the Iriquois Theater in Chi
cago, are awakened by the recent ac-
quittal of Harry Davis, who was tried
on the charge of manslaughter, it
having been claimed by the prosecu-
tion that as manager of the theater
he was guilty of criminal careless
ness in his failure to comply with
the Chicago fire ordinances. Attor-
neys for the defense attacked the va
lidity of the ordinances upon which
the indictment was predicated, aver
ring that these ordinances prescribed
no specific duties to be carried out
by Davis, and the presiding Judge
sustained their contention. The case
was tried at Danville, H., and in rem
dering his decision Judge Kimbrough
said that, while Davis might have
been morally responsible for the fire
and for the attendant loss of life, ac-
cording to the existing laws he could
not be convicted, and the only course
open to him was to dismiss the case.
