Regulars for Encampment.

Realizing that it will be impracti-
cable for any of Mississippi's troops
to attend the Chickamauga encamp-
ment this summer, Aujutant General
Fridge is prevailing upon the war de-
partment to send a battalion of reg
ulars to this city to participate in the
encampment which is to be held here
and he hopes to succeed. He has not
heard from the department, and as
soon as he gets decision in the mat
ter he will make it public.
The presence of regulars here will
be an incentive for State troops, and
their discipline and drills will have
a wholesome and beneficial effect on
the volunteer soldiery. The idea
seems to be a good one, and will add
greatly to the forthcoming meeting
of the guard of the State.

ELECTRICAL STORM
VISITS COLUMBUS
SEVERE STORM CAME Up VERY
SUDDENLY ABOUT SEVEN
O'CLOCK WEDNESDAY
EVENING LAST.
Fuse Blew Out at the Electric Light
Plant and the City Was in Mo-
mentary Darkness-Tele-
phone Plant Suffers.

One of the most severe electrical
storms ever witnessed here visited
this section just as night was closing
in over the city last Wednesday. The
day, while rather cool, had been fair
and bright, but about six o'clock dark
clouds began to gather, and few
moments thereafter the storm burst
forth in all its fury. Lightning fash
ed, thunder roared, and the rain came
down in torrents. 1t was at an hour
when those employed in Offices and
stores up town were just about to
start for their homes, and many peo-
pie were drenched, the rain having
percolated their clothing and soaked
them through and through.
The most serious damage resulting
from the storm was that sustained
by the Cumberland Telephone & Tel
egraph Company. Lightning blew
out a fuse at the exchange on Main
street and grounded a number of
wires. When the lightning came in
contact with the electrical apparati
there was a great burst of flame, and
for a moment the building seemed to
be on fire. The ball of fame quickly
disappeared, however, and the build
ing was left unharmed, the only dam
age at the exchange having been the
burning out of the fuse and the con-
sequent grounding of the wires.
Many wires, both in Columbus and
throughout the county, were blown
down, and for a short time the eff
cheney of the service was seriously
impaired. The damage was repaired
as speedily as possible, and practi
cally all of the lines are now in per-
feet order.
Just about the time when the
storm was at it's worst, all the electric
lights went out, and the entire city
was in momentary darkness. 1t was
impossible to secure telephone con-
nection with the plant, and for few
moments the people in the uptown
district feared that some serious acci-
dent had occurred as a result of the
storm. The lights were turned on
was learned that the plant had not
been disabled, the only damage sus-
tanned having been the blowing out
of a fuse. The fuse was quickly re-
placed and the plant continued in
operation without further hindrance-

The Fate of the Underwear Mill.

The fate of the Columbus Under
wear Mill still hangs in the balance,
and as matters now stand no one can
ay whether the plant will ever re-
sumo operations. AS stated in the
last issue of The Dispatch, the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank, which re-
Gently purchased the plant at public
outcry, has received a proposition
from the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Com
pany of st. Louis, under the terms
of which they agreed to improve and
operate the mill provided the people
of Columbus will take common stock
in the new company amounting to a
stipulated sum. This sum was first
placed at $40, 900, but the ST. Louis
people finally agreed to accept S15,-
100000 A committee, consisting of
Messrs. c. F. Sherrod, John A. Stin-
son, Simon Loeb and I. II. Sykes,
made thorough canvass of the city,
but succeeded in raising only $12,-
900. The committee wrote the Rice
Stix Dry Goods Company appraising
them of the amount raised and urg-
ing that they accept this sum.
The St. Louis people have not as
yet replied TO the committees letter,
which was mailed last Friday, but
it is hoped that they will decide to
accept the sum secured. and will take
charge of the mill and put the same
in operation

New Workers Cheer TiIIman.

Waterloo, N. Y. April 18.-Sena-
tor Ben r. Tillman. of South Caro-
lima, delivered a characteristicaIly
sensational address before a large
and apparently sympathetic audience
here tonight. His topic was the race
question from a Southern standpoint,
and despite his radical views, which
he expressed in no uncertain terms.
he was frequently applauded, and
when he declared the doctrine of
equality as set forth in the constitu-
tion was damnable and criminal he
was met with cries of approval and
a prolonged hand-clapping. His de-
mand that the wrong done the South
by that amendment be righted by it's
repeal also won a storm of applause,
and the Carolinian was agreeably
surprised at the prevalence of what
he regarded as purely Southern SEN
timent in this section.

The MayOr'S Court.

T. F. Brown, white man, was be-
fore Mayor Donnell last Wednesday
on the charge of assault and battery,
and was fined five dollars. Brown
became involved in a dispute over a
trivial matter with Oakley Arp, lit
tie boy, and slapped the youngster in
the face. Brown was arrested by the
police, and was tried before Mayor
Donnell, with the above stated result.
John Topp, a negro who beat up
a woman in the tenderloin district on
Tuesday night, was before Mayor
Donnell charged with assault and
battery Wednesday, and was fined
ten dollars.

of the past week in the city. Mr.

says that Vardaman is daily gaining
strength, and that he will doubtless

When asked about the gubernato-

port is grOundless, being merely

porters of opposing candidates. Mr..
Craddock said that Bolivar county's

his opinion Scott and Vardaman viii
be the winners.

Both Locomotives Were Put Out of

Two locomotives in the local yards
of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad col
lided last Friday, and as a result of
the collision both engines are laid up
for repairs. The accident occurred
on the ''Y' near the Arkay Stave
Works, when switch engine No. 113,
in charge of Engineer Robert Dent,
collided with a freighter of the bat
tle-ship" type, in charge of Engineer
Frank Tupin. The switch engine was
on the track when the freighter start
ed in to make the circuit of the ''Y
and when the respective engineers
found they were approaching each
other they were so close together that
it was impossible to stop even by
vigorous working of the air brakes.
The two locomotives went together
with a thud, and were so badly
smashed up that both were put out
of commission.
Robt Dent, the engineer in charge
of the switch engine, jumped, but
was not injured. Engineer Tupin,
who remained in his cab, also escaped

Telephone Rates.

The improvements at the local ex.
change of the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company are nearing
completion, and within the next thir-
! ty or sixty days the rates will be in
creased. Soon after the Cumberland
people bought out the independent
company in the summer of 1905,
President Caldwell visited Columbus
and frankly told our people that the
rates would be advanced as soon as
certain improvements contemplated
by the company were completed. The
the stringing of new wires, the COM
plete overhauling of the building and
the installation of new switch
board. All these improvements, save
the installation of the switch board
have been completed, and as soon as
this switch board is cut in the rates
will be advanced.
The increase in rates will be con-
siderable, the rate on direct lines be-
ing advanced from $500 to $3.50 a
month IOF business houses, ana from
$3.50 to $500 per month on resi-
dences. The party line rate will be
$2.00 per month for stores and $3.50
per month for residences. These are
the maximum rates fixed by the Mis-
sissippi railroad commission for coun-
ties in which there are more than
500 and less than 1000 telephone
subscribers. Columbus is included in
this list, the local exchange having
about $50 subscribers.
With the installation of the new
switch board the entire telephone sys-
tenn of the city will be changed. The
new board is of the central energy
pattern, and will be equipped with
1850 drops. These drops work auto
matically, being displaced the mo-
ment a subscriber takes down his
receiver. BY this arrangement it is
not necessary to ring in order to call

crank attachments now in use Will
