It WAS A ONE SIDED
BIG MASS MEETING

As was announced there was held
in the city Wednesday a mass meet
! ing to consider the cotton and money
situation, to which all farmers and
. business men were invited, as well as
the sons of toll in any and every yo-
cation. But the meeting was not held
according to first announcement, in
that it was held at the city hall in
stead of at the court house, and it
was called to order at 2 p. m. instead
Of 10 a. m. as was announced. An
other phase that was not according to
expectations was that few business
men. or others. outside the farmers.
were present. The bankers. business
men and laborers failed to attend in
large numbers.
Another disappointment was that
Mr.. Neill. president of the state farm
ers' association. failed to reach the
city, missing his connections at
Hearne. OF course this was a very
great disappointment, but not so great
as the failure of the business people,

President Lipscomb of the local

briefly stated it's objects, and he was
was followed by Mr.. Edmondson of
the local union. who made a concise
statement of the cotton-holding move
ment, and outlined plan for possible
relief for distressed cotton. The gen.
tleman stated he wanted the farmers
and business people, especially the
bankers, to get together, and talk the
matter over. At this juncture it was
discovered the bankers were not
present, and on motion a committee
composed Of Messrs. J. II. Starr, o. ].
Dugey, Ira II. Smith and w N. Ham
ilton was appointed to go out and So
licit the attendance of the bankers.
This mission was performed, but none
responded to the invitation.
Mr.. Edmondson's plan was then an

had any money available to help the
farmers in protecting their cotton
holding movement, TO loan it to the
union or its members who had dis
uessed cotton, taking ample security
for the loan. The plan was discussed,
but nothing definite was done.
While this committee was out Mr..
r. r. Claridge made the meeting a
most practical and instructive talk.
His words were encouraging, and he
was heartily applauded.

UNDER MILITARY ARREST
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Worcester, Mass, Nov. 21.-General
Josiah Pickett, the only veteran of
the Civil War who has been under
military arrest ever since the war,
was eighty-five years old today. A
year ago he had fall from which he
never recovered, and for some time
mis- condition has been considered Sc
rious
General Pickett's career is unique.
Placed under arrest by order of Cen
eral Stannard just before the battle of
Cold Harbor, General Pickett has felt
1t an honor to remain under arrest.
A misunderstanding about orders
caused a difference of opinion be-
tween himself and General Stannard.
General (then COLONEL Pickett re-
marked that when he received orders
he could understand he would obey
them. That remark caused his ar
rest. Then came the battle of Cold
Harbor. Things looked bad for the
Union troops, and, forgetful of his ar
rest, Colonel Pickett jumped TO the
front of his regiment and led it
through the battle For his conduct
he was recommended for promotion
by the men who had caused his ar
rest. The arrest was forgotten. Col
onel Pickett was made a general, and
today there are few outside General
Pickett's personal friends who know
that the arrest still stands.
During the lifetime of Senator
Hoar, a personal friend of General
Pickett, it was suggested that a spec
ial act of congress be enacted to ex-
punge the record of arrest. General
Pickett was always opposed to this.
He declared he wanted to die under
arrest. His wish is pretty sure to be
granted.
