Memorial for Baldwin.

The attention of Gov. Noel has been
called by Capt. William T. Rigby, chair
man of the Vicksburg National Military
Park Commission, to the fact that q
number of states which were represented
by troops engaged in the investment and
the defense of Nicksburg in 1863 are
making preparations to place in the park
suitable bronze tablets or other memo
rials to the commissioned general Of
ticers who were in command of organi-
cations.
Of the general officers on the side of
the defenders, only one, Gen. William E.
Baldwin, had been commissioned as such
prior to the movement of Grant toward
Vicksburg, and he had the distinction of
being the only native Mississippian who
had reached the rank of igader-general
included in Pemberton's army at that
time. Capt. Rigby suggests that it might
be we'll to place this fact before the
legislature and recommend to that body
that steps be taken to place Gen.
Baldwin memorial in the park.

JACKSON
Cumberland Not Liable.

Among the questions submitted to
Chairman Lee, of the railroad commits
sion the past week was one touching
the liability for repairs and general
upkeep of private rural telephone lines
used by several different parties, which,
however, are operated through the cx-
changes of the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company. A concrete case
in point was brought to the attention
of the commission by an individual who
had constructed such a private line, and
had made Il contract with the Cumber-
land company to operate through its
exchange at the nearest exchange point,
paying an agreed contract price of $3.50
year.
Chairman Lee looked into the matter
carefully, and in replying to the COM
munication held that, in his opinion, the
Cumberland Telephone Company was not
responsible for the physical upkeep OF
the line, according to the terms of Che
contract, but only for the exchange con-
nections and service.

Pardon Was Legal.

One of the questions over which tho
governor has been doing considerable
thinking recently, and into which he
has made considerable inquiry, was the
order of the board of supervisors of
Lawrence county granting a pardon to
DR.. j. M Kirby, who was convicted of
selling liquor and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and to serve ninety DAYS
in the county Jail. He appealed his
case to the supreme court, which passed
on it during the last term and affirmed
the lower court, and Kirby was re.
manded to Jail to serve out his sentence.
After being confined in Jail for period
of thirty days, the board of supervisors,
exercising the statutory prerogative,
granted the prisoner discharge on the
ground of physical infirmity.
This prompted the governor to address
an inquiry to the attorney-general's de-
partment, and that official finds that,
according to the law as written, the
order of release was In accordance with
the statute.
