CAMP AT COLUMBUS IS NOW DESERTED Greatest Encampment Ever
 Held In the State INTERCHANGE OF THANKS President of Progressive Union Thanks the Soldiers for the Pleasant Oc-
 casion and Soldiers Return
 Their Publications.

Columbus, Miss, August 14-(Special)- J. Tonight the tented field of Camp Noel, which, for the past ten days, has been the home of 22O0 soldiers, is completely abandoned and the greatest encampment in the history of the state is closed.
 Early this morning the companies be- gan making preparations for departure. The first special to leave carried five companies from the Third regiment and the vicksburg battery. The train left over the Southern railway and will go as far as Greenvile. The commands for places on the Yazoo and Mississippi val ley, south, will reach home early to- night. The next special left at 9:30 over the same road and carried all the compa- nies from the Illinois Central line south of Winona.
 The companies from the southern part of the state left on a special at 10 o'clock over the Mobile and Ohio. The com panies north on the Mobile and Ohio left on the regular train at 3:27 The Caledo- mia company left camp at noon and marched home through the country 15 miles. The cavalry troop from Noxubee county left at noon, too, and will dis band at Macon General Keesler leaves tomorrow morning for his home at Green wood His staff officers have departed. The battalion of Seventeenth infantry regulars left on a special train of 12 coaches this afternoon at o'clock for Fort McPherson, Georgia. The Twelfth cavalry band left on the same special and leave the party at Birmingham, with Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, via Chatta- nooga, as their destination.
 Walter Weaver, president of the Pro- gressive union, wrote Major General Keesler a communication expressing pleasure on aehalf of Columbus in enter taining the national guard. General Keesler replied with another communi- cation in which he extended thanks from his soldiers. The encampment was, be- yond all doubt, the greatest in the history of the national guard The soldiers were treated as well as it was possible to treat them. They were feasted and dined and accorded every liberty possible to make their stay pleasant.
 Not a single man expressed himself otherwise than as having spent most enjoyable stay. The only regret enter tained is that it is most likely the last encampment for Columbus, as the army regulations now seem to be for all state troops to camp at some army post and enjoy the companionship of regulars, as their training is beneficial to them.
 Camp Noel, like Camp Columbus last summer, closed with nothing but the pleasantest of memories, and Its history will make a name for the town. Com pared to the pleasures of the last ten days the place now seems to be enjoying it's first night of quietude, and it is truly the first calm after a severe storm.

NEGRO POSTAL
 CLERK ARRESTED

Meridian. Miss, August 14.-(SpecialO Floyd M. Parker, negro railway postal clerk on the Mobile and Ohio road running between Tupelo, Miss, and Union, Tenn, was arrested today at Artesia on a charge of embezzle- ment of mail in transit. He was brought to this city and held in $5o9 bond for his appearance before the federal court which meets here in Sep tember. The negro stoutly denies his guilt, but the evidence seems to be conclusive that he is guilty. Decoy letters containing marked bills were mailed so that he would handle them on his route. The marked bills one of the letters contained were found on his person when he was arrested. The negro says he got the bills from an unknown man at Okolona.
 J. T. Wallace, aged 60. a well known and wealthy planter of Choctaw coun- ty Alabama, was run over and killed by a Mobile and Ohio passenger trail at 80 o'clock this morning at poin. near the western corporate limits of the city. The body was literally cut and ground to pieces, parts being scat tered all along the track for consid. erable distance The accident was not discovered until about daylight this morning. Wallace came to Meridian to board train for Demopolis. He missed the train and decided he would spend the time with his brother, who resides southwest of the city. He was run over and killed on his way to his brothers. It is presumed that on his way he sat down on the track to rest and fell asleep.

Guy R. Johnson, vice president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, has issued the following; To the Public.
 At the solicitation of some of our friends we publish the following state ment. We do so with some reluctance, because we feel that the public Is per- fectly cognizant of the real merits or this disturbance and because we do not desire and do not intend to be drawn into a newspaper controversy with Fairley In newspaper argument with him he has all the advantage, be- cause as men of honor, we would be compelled to confine ourselves to facts, B course Fairley has never been known to pursue.
 We dismiss his misleading and dis ingenious statement, made yesterday, without discussion, because We would not insult the intelligence of the public nor dignify Farley by engaging In an argument as to who is responsible for the outrages which have characterized this strike, which have made the whole state shudder, and have drawn the eyes of the world to us to the detriment or the fair name of our state. We call on Fairley and his followers to indorse and help enforce the governors procla nation.
 We are paying wage which enable any miner to make an average daily wage of s2.50 and over, S they were doing in June when this disturbance be gan. Fifty-five per cent of the miners are negroes. We submit that there is no question to our paying fair wages when such earnings are possible.
 As to Fair1ey's claims that we are stealing from our miners by false weights, they are too absurd to discuss. The weighing of all coal

 LEAVES AUCKLAND

Auckland N E., August 15.-(Saturday) Sydney at 1:5O o'clock this morning The weather was fine and large crowds were ashore and a1oat to bid farewell to the Americans. Excursion craft loaded to the guards dotted the harbor
 As anchors were hoisted and the flag ship pointed her nose toward the mouth of the harbor pandemonium reigned. The lutes, which were answered by the American ships, and the whistles and si- rens of the excursion fotilla resounded across the harbor and were re-echoed by the distant hills.
 The American ships were kept busy dipping their flags in answer to the salu- tations of the New Zealanders.
 The fleet steamed with precision of alignment out of the harbor, and many of the excursion craft followed it far to sea.
 The sight when the ships left their an- chorage was a magnificent one, the flag ship Connecticut turning and steaming between the lines of battleships, which turned in order and followed her to sea.
 Sir Joseph Ward. premier. and large number of officials were aboard a gov ernment steamer, and as each battleship passed Sir Joseph led the loud cheering for the Americans.
 The battleship Kentucky which was the last in the line, responded Justify with cheers for New Zealand, and the bands on both vessels played the British and American national anthems and "Auld Lang 6yne."

TRADE REPORTS
 ARE IRREGULAR Good Gains Are Made In Some
 Sections LARGER ORDERS FOR IRON Big Auction Sale of Dry Goods Has Given Big Impetus To the Textile Business, Which Is Up To
 All Expectations.

New York, August 14-R. G. Dun & Co.'S review of trade tomorrow will say
 Trade reports continued irregular with pronounced gains in some sections and no improvement in others, the net result be- ing encouraging, however, and sentiment regarding the future grows more confident each week.
 Steel demand is steadily broadening each week bringing a larger percentage of active capacity and the improvement Is especially gratifying in view of the few orders from the railways. The export con- tracts are recorded in every department of the industry from pig iron to steel rails. and further improvement in this respect Is also anticipated.
 Sales of pig iron are made for delivery during the first half of next year, ana some coke ovens have received orders GOV ering the same period with larger move ment of ore down the lakes. The lighter lines of steel continue actively engaged, notably wire products, pipe and plates.
 Textile markets have been dominated this week by the second big auction sale, buyers either devoting attention to seek ing bargains there or awaiting the effect on the general market. large attend ance of outside jobbers and retailers at the auction promises business h regular departments. Reports from visiting job bers indicate low stocks of some grades but abundant supplies in other lines, which makes the outlook uncertain. Prices are nominal on account of small cash
 
 necessarily limited. Many cotton mills will be idle next week pending a more definite tendency in the market. Aside from small sales of light weights, the business is up to expectations.
 ''The wool trade has cheerful tone and good interest Is displayed by large and small buyers. Spring lines are still being opened and the outlook is regarded as en- couraging. Manufacturers of cheap and medium grades of shoes doing rela- lively better than in more expensive lines, Stocks in retailers and jobbers' hands are reported light and eastern shipments are larger, still they below last year for the week and season, the latter by 31 CT cent.
 'The failures in the United States for the week ending August IS number 2lg against 205 last week and 146 in the ike week of 1907 Canadian failures for the same period number 31, against 19 last week, 30 in the corresponding week of last year.

DANCE BY AMPHION CLUB

Ensley, August 14.-(Speeial.) )-There was quite number of cases on the police docket this morning, most of them of minor importance. Mack Turner, a ne- gro, was bound over to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of bur glary and grand larceny Turner was ac- cused of breaking into the dwelling houses of J. T. Brewer and J. T. Cormack, on Twenty-fifth street and Avenue G., and with stealing clothing from line in D. J. F1ummer's yard. There have been number of houses broken into recently; so when the above cases were reported to the city authorities the pack of blood hounds owned by Dennis Echols was se- cured to track the thieves. MT Eehols and Officer John Wren, who was detailed on the case, took the dogs to the scene. The dogs immediately took up the trail and followed 1t from Avenue c to Avenue H and Twenty-ninth, and on through Palmer Terrace to Fairview, where the negro was arrested and placed in the city jail. Most of the stolen property was found on his person at the trial this morning. Turner pleaded not guilty to the charge, and was bound over as stated. Too much praise cannot be be- slowed on MT. Echols, as this Is the second time this week his hounds have tracked a much-wanted criminal. Mayor Sugg complimented him highly and said the city owed him a debt of gratitude. Officer Wren also deserves special men tion. on his following the trail to the end and using considerable strategy in cap turing the negro.

 TO CITIZENS OF DISTRICT

mined in this state is under state su- pervision, because the law requires the state mine inspectors to inspect ana test all scales. We wish furthermore to point out that two out of the three mine inspectors are ex-union miners. They surely ought to be able to take care of their men.
 Furthermore, the Alabama Coal Op- erators' association pledges its efforts to maintaining the fairest treatment to- ward its miners in regard to this ques- tion of weights.
 We say to you emphatically that the whole question. when barred to the naked facts, is this:
 Shall the United Mine Workers of America, headed by men of the Fa1rley type, control our mines. or shall any man, who is desirous of working, be allowed to work at what seems to him fair wage without his being dynamited or shot from ambush? That : the question in nut shell.
 We propose to run the mines of this district on an open shop basis, paying a fair wage at all times, and giving honest weights. We can furnish. and are furnishing men to work the mines, and all we want is what the constitn- tion guarantees, viz: protection to life and property.
 If we cannot get this, then we shall close down our works till such time as proper protection Is afforded
 We have nothing to arbitrate and claim nothing more than the right to conduct our business in our own way in a lawful manner, and on an open shop basis, guaranteeing a square deal to everyone of our employees.

 w R. Fairley's plea in today's paper imploring union miners to desist from lawlessness Is in strange contrast with his recent utterances denouncing the gov ernor of the state and the sheriff of Jeff ferson county in their efforts to preserve the majesty and integrity of the law. He even throws the mantle of charity around the coal operators and says they should not be held responsible for the acts of the deputies after having called them thieves Why this sudden change of heart almost over night, from an ar rogant dictator practically defying the authorities of the state, to one counselling peace?
 He hears distinct rumblings of an out ragged but determined public to rid this community of this damnable reign of anarchy and demoralization.
 Fairley may say that deputy sheriffs shot up a train filled with non-union miners and peace officers at Jefferson, in this county, but the public doesn't be- lieve it.
 Fairley may say that deputy sheriffs blew up houses with dynamite and mur- dered non-union miners at Acton, in Shel- by county, but the public doesn't be- leve it.
 Fairley may say that deputy sheriffs at tempted to wreck train and assassinate people at Blocton, in Bibb county, but the public doesn't believe it.
 Fairley may say that deputy sherins shot up houses and murdered a woman at Margaret. in St. Clair county, but the people don't believe 1t.
 Fairley may say that ignorant Slavs and negroes would know without being advised when a special train would reach Blocton in the dead hour of night, but the public doesn't believe 1t.
 Fairley may say that a strike every two years Is good for the miner and this dis
