Fouqht With His Bows

! There are times when the so called
red tape of the army gives way under
the stress Of circumstances At the
battle Of Chickamauga, General
/ Willich, who was commanding "a
brigade, incurred the displcasurc of
General RoSccrlns. the commanding
! general. by some very slight omission.
General Wiliich WAS sent for and in
| formed by the general commanding that
| he must consider himself under arrest
for the present.
General" said Rosccrans stcrnly.
"consdcr yourself under arrest and
leave your sword here until your case is
J tried"
"Nrs. general. will consider myself
under arrest" was the reply, ''and
shust so zoon rs dis fights over III
come and fix him up"
"But. SIR" said the astoundcd Rose.
Grams, Il want you to consider your
self under arrest now.
"Of course do" responded Which
promptly. 'and rs zoum rs get off dis
fight III bc up and settle him."
But, sir" expostulated the COM
manding general, IL cant let you go
into this fight. You are under arrest,
will send an officer To your brigade"
"You send an officer to fight my
boys" cried Which Indignantly. "IIc
can't do it, They don't know him. Me
they know teach them. / fight
them. and none Of the boys would
know how to fight or what to do only
when go with them. My boys be-
long to me; yes, inc, General Which.

General Rosccraus gave ii up. Gen.

Heavy Losses Near Meridian

MERIDIAN, Miss. May 27.-ThreC
more inches of rainfall were vesterda,
added to the record-breaking down
| pour of Monday night and Tuesday
and last night all the larger streams
south of Meridian were reported ris
ing. The rise, too, has jassed all pre-
vious high water marks, and the dam
| age will not be known until the water
recedes. All trains south and west of
Meridian on the Alabama and Vicks-
burg, Mobile and Ohio and New Or
leans and Northeastern roads have
been indefinitely annuled.
Each road is reported to have suffer-
ed the loss of many miles of roadbed
and numbers of trestles. The Mobile
and Ohio, Alabama Great Southern
and Southern Railway are maintain
ing trains north of Meridian. but on
slow schedules.
1t is reported from the local wath-
er bureau that Enterprise and Shubuta
are in the grasp of the worst flood In
their history, the water in the business
district of Enterprise being almost to
the second stories of some business
buildings, and Shubuta being an is
land entierly cut off from the outside
world except for telephone and tele-
graph communication which is yet in
tact. At Enterprise stocks of goods
have been moved from lower to upper
floors and it is thought the damage to
them will not be so great. People are
moving about the town in skiffs.
With the crest of the flood not reach
ed at II o'clock last night it is hard
ly probable that the traffic on any one
of the three effected roads can be re-
sumed before Friday noon at the earli-
est. and even when the waters recede
it may be found that washouts have
been so numerous that the resumption
of traffic may be delayed until Sun
day or even later.
At Laudrdale, eighteen miles north
Of Meridian, on the Mobile and Ohio
the waters have receded. In fact the
water in all the smaller streams has
returned to the banks.
Reports were reaching Meridian all
day yesterday of the damage done
crODS throughout this section The
damage, it is claimed, is irreparable so
far as cotton is concerned, it being
claimed that the season is too far ad-
vanced for replanting. 1t is absolute
ly, immpossible to give anything like a
fair stimate of the damage that has
been done at this time.

effort is being made to charge the

So far from this being true we stand

you and to aid you in accomplishing
this result"
The handcar which is carrying mail
out of Atlanta went nearly forty miles
today to Union Point.
Six strike breakers, who left the
employment of the Georgia Central
railroad Saturday today complained
to the Atlanta Police commission
charging that they had been brought
here by Misrepresentation and had
been practically prisoners for several
days in a hotel, finally getting into
communication with strikers by notes
dropped from the windows. A detec-
tive agency which has had charge of
the squad of strike breakers answered
the charges, declaring them untrue.
