WIRE MONUMENT DISPUTE.
Final Statement of the Trouble Is Ex-
 >pected Very Soon.

Atlanta March 10-Flnal settlement of the question of where the monument to Captain Wirz. commander at Ander- sonville is to stand, is expected here tomorrow at the convention of the Geor- gia division, United Daughters of the Confectionery. Richmond was selected for this site at the last Georgia convention in October. 1908.
 discussion and possible redecision of the monument site is expected to- morrow on account of a strong senti- nent that the shaft should not leave Georgia soil. As Richmond already has accepted the gift there is considerable doubt as to whether there will be a re- decision. It has been suggested that the monument be placed in South Car olina alongside that of Gen. Wade Hamp- ton at Columbia.
 The following statement as coming from the Savannah, Columbus and Au- glista chapters, was given out here to- day:
 "The statement that there is danger of mutilation or boodshed by reason of the memorial being located at Ander- sonville is contradicted by the mayor and citizens of that town. From a poll of the chapters as far as could be made there seems to be little doubt that the monument will go either to Richmond or Andersonvllle."

WOODMEN OF WORLD
 ADJOURN MEETING

Columbus, Miss, March 0.-(Speciall- The biennial convention of jurisdiction M. Woodmen of the World, which as sembled in Columbus yesterday morning, completed their work and adjourned to- night at 10 o'clock.
 From the way the business session moved this morning il looked like the business would be completed by o'clock this afternoon. Indeed. everything was moved as the creased wheels carried the prohibition bill through the Tennessee house last January. But big snag was struck That old thing of politics and favortism about who would be elected delegates to the sovereign camp next Au- gust. and where the next biennial meet ing would be held, was the stumbling block. Instead of all business being com pleted by o'clock. they could not even finish by o'clock, and the night session was necessary for that reason.
 At 8 o'clock this morning the entire del- egation formed at the courthouse and marched, headed by the Meridian band to the Industrial Institute and College chapel to attend devotional exercises. pr. W. T. Matthews, head consul, and Hon. j.. w Collier of Vicksburg addressed the student body in pertinent language.
 President Whitfield expressed gratifica- tion upon having the visitors present The college glee club lined up and sang a medley of college songs and then whis- tied them. Then the band played Dixie and everybody cheered long and loud. Afterward all the delegates made an in- spection of the buildings and grounds and romped around the campus like lot of young college boys. Many enjoyed sliding down the fire escapes

DANGER POINT IN
 AUTAUGA CREEK

Prattville, March 10.-Special) 1.-The flood stage of Autauga creek running through this city has about reached the danger point here. but on account of hav- ing splendid facilities for handling the high water no uneasiness is felt. The wa ter rose rapidly this forenoon, but rather slowly during the afternoon and appears to have reached the upper limit for this time. Rain fell in torrents yesterday from about 12;30 to D. m., with only two or three short intermissions There was at several times water on some of the side walks foot or more deep and the side walks and streets were flooded all the afternoon. It Is conceded to be one of the heaviest rains in the history of the city.
 Rumor, which at this time cannot be verified, comes from Independence that quite cyclone passed just below that vil- lage yesterday afternoon destroying houses and injuring persons in it's track. The particulars cannot be learned as there is no communication between this city and that village, 1t being F miles from here.
 The path of the one passing that way yesterday is close to the path of the one passing through that section of the eoun- " lew weeks ago-the latter proving very destructive to many citizens in wrecking their dwelling houses, tenant houses, etc.
 There IS the greatest display of bunt- ever seen in this town before in antfci patton of the meeting of the Knights of Pythias convention for the eighth district. All places of business will be decorated with the colors of the order showing considerable interest in the meeting. A bountiful barbecue will be served by the local lodge tomorrow on the vacant square near the Baptist church for the benefit of the visiting delegates and local friends of the lodge. large number of delegates are expected to attend, and ample prep arations have been made to care for them.

FATE OF THE MARINES.
Barred from BattIeships They May
 Lose Their Pay.

Washington, March 10.-Marines may not be assigned to duty to battleships and armored cruisers, despite the recent provisions of Congress that money ap- propriated for the maintenance of the marine corps must not be used unless the marines are aboard the war ships. Secretary of the Navy Meyer has asked the opinion of the Attorney General re- garding the constitutionality of the res toration provision
 This provision was questioned at the time of It's enactment possibly in fringing the rights of the President as commander in chief of the army and navy It was argued that as commander in chief he would necessarily be em- powered with authority to determine what disposition should be made Of the marine corps. Those who supported the amendment, which was reported from the naval committee of the Senate, main tained that similar provisions had been previously enacted and compiled with and that Congress had the right to con trol in matters of this kind.

COAL VEIN FOUND
 NEAR MERIDIAN

Meridian Miss March 10-(Speeial.)- J D Gully. owner of a farm three miles north of Lauderdale station, 15 miles north of Meridian, has sunk a shaft through 12 feet of biuminous coal The find has created considerable excitement in Meridian and already promoters have written to Birmingham for an expert mining engineer to make a survey of the field and report on the possible extent of the coal deposit
 Gully discovered the seam by accident He was sinking a well in his pasture and after going down IS feet he struck layer of blue clay. Two feet further he located coal and mined l2 feet through the seam before passing through it's thickness. He continued to go dowu and a few feet further struck another vein
 Samples of the coal brought to Merid- ian show a free mixture of sulphur, slate and rock, which burns down to an ash. For some months a party representing Birmingham interests has been taking oil and mineral leases through the section of country lying between Lauderdale station and Toomsuba, and thousands of acres have in this way been tied up Now that coal has been actually discovered in large quantity a few feet below the sur face it is believed that the field will be immediately developed.
