COMMITTEE
IS ADDRESSED
BY GREENHUT
THE MANUFACTURERS COMMIT
TEE HEARS LOCAL WHOLE
SALE GROCER OUTLINE PLANS
TO PROMOTE MANUFACTURING
S ENTERPRISES.

That part of the Pensacola Com
nercial Association known as the
manufacturers committee is holding
daily sessions in order to attend to
the. large amount of business that is
before 1t. Yesterday morning the COM
naittee held a meeting in the rooms of
the association and besides discussing
other matters had A. Greenhut to adj
dress the committee in regard to a
plan which he thinks will, If followed
out, make Pensacola manufacturing
city in a short time. Mr.. Greenhut' s
ideas were well received by the COM
mfttee and it is probable that his
suggestions will be the means of
keeping thousands of dollars at home
as well as providing employment for
many people
Pensacolals possibilities as a manu-
featuring city have been spread abroad
and there are many communications
in the hands of the committee which
are to be given the attention that they
demand.
The committee win hold another
meeting this morning at II o'clock.

FIGURES ON
|. CANPA |GN FOR
new MEMBERS
SECRETARY HENDERSON, OF
THE COMMERCIAL AssoclA-
TON, SHOWS HOW EASILY
MORE THAN 400 COULD BE
SECURED WITH ONLY SLIGHT
EFFORT.

While discussing the carraign for
new members, now being waged by
the Commercial Association, with a
representative of The Journsi yester-
day afternoon, Secretary Henderson
did some interesting figuring illus
trating how little effort wouEa pc re-
quired on the part of any Individual
IL each member Of the association
would enter in earnest into the work
of securing new members.
On January LIST there were 193 mem
bers and there are now 241, being an
increase Of 40. The records show that
these 40 have been secured by Is
members. If the remaining ITS of the
original members had increased the
membership in this proportion, 400
new members would have resulted.
which added to the 49 actually secured
by the other members, would make a
total of 539 new ones so far, or a total
membership already of 1872.
However, all the board of directors
is asking is that each me1fiBer secure
one new member. The above simply
shows how easy it would be to OBJ
tain the desired 400 with only little
effort.
The third new membership campaign
letter is now being prepared and will
be sent out today.

ran through the open field parallel to
Fry's front. heading near the road ON
his right. with steep sides In his front,
but sloping gradually beyond his left,
Before Fry's arrival Zolicoffer had
deployed his brigade and had forced
Wolford and the Tenth Indiana TO fall
back, almost capturing the horses Of
Wolfords men, who were lighting on
foot. a portion Of Wolford's com
mand under his immediate charge and
Vanardsalrs company OF the Tenth
Indiana rallied on the Fourth Ken
lucky, when It appeared, the remain
der Of the Tenth falling back to fits en-.
campment, where IL reformed its lines.
Fry was Mt once subjected to a severe
attack The enemy in his front crawl
ed up under shelter Of the ravine to
within a short distance Of his lines
before delivering their fire, and Fry,
mounting the fence, in stentorlau
tones denounced them as dastards ana
defled them to stand up on their feet
and come forward like men.
General Zollicoffer Shot Down.
A little lull in the firing occurring
at this juncture, Fry rode short dis
tance to the right to get better view
OF the movement Of the enemy in that
direction. The morning was a lower
ing one, and the woods were full Of
smoke. AS Fry turned to regain his
position he encountered mounted
officer whose uniform was covered
with a waterproof coat. After ap-
preaching till their knees touched, the
stranger said to Fry, "We must not
fire on our own men," and, nodding
his head to the left, he said, 'Those
are our men" Fry said: "Of course
not / would not do so Intentionally"
and he began to move toward his regl-
ment, when, turning, he saw another
mounted man riding from the shelter
Of the woods, who fired and wounded
Fry's horse. Fry at once fred on the
man who had accosted him, and sew
eral of his men, observing the incident,
fred at the same time. The shots were
fatal, and the horseman fell dead,
pierced by a pistol shot in his breast
and by two musket balls. It was soon
ascertained that it was ZollicOffer
himself who had fallen. In the mean
time the enemy were pressing Fry in
front and overlapping his right. On
his right front only the fence separat-
ed the combatants. The left Of his
regiment not being assaied, he moved
two companies from that flank to his
right. As he was making this change
General Thomas appeared on the field
and at once placed the Tenth Indiana
in position to cover Fry's exposed
flank.
The fall of Zollicoffer and the sharp
firing that followed caused two of his
regiments, the Nineteenth and Twenty
fifth Tennessee, to retreat in confu-
sion. Crittenden then brought up Car
rolls brigade to the support Of the |
other two and repeated previous orders |
for a general advance.
Meanwhile Thomas had been re-en'
forced by the Twelfth Kentucky, First |
and Second East Tennessee and Stand
arts battery. He met the Confederate
advance by placing a section of Ken
ly's battery on the left of the Fourth
Kentucky, which was overlapped by
line, ordered the Twelfth Ken
lucky to the left of Kenny's two guns

placed in gorge In the left fork OF
Middle creek. The Fifth Kentucky and
the Twenty-ninth Virginia regiments
and part OF the mounted rlnemen Of
Kentucky formed along the heights to
the left of the battery. The Fifty

battery with two cavalry companies in
reserve, Two dismounted cavalry com
panies were placed across Middle creek

far from Prestonburg.
Garfield Attacks the Heights.
szirmishing between the opposing
forces began about 10 o'clock a. M,
but the action opened In earnest about
noon by an advance of Federal cavalry,
supported by infantry. This attack
was repulsed, three discharges Of the
artillery putting the cavalry to flight,
according to Marshalrs report Of the
affair. Garfield then endeavored to take
the ridge occupied by the Fifth Ken
lucky and the Twenty-ninth Virginia
on the right wing Of Marshalrs posi-
ton. He moved his infantry up the
side of the mountain and made des-
perate attempt to dislodge the Confed-
crate forces commanded by Colonel
williams. but was repulsed. The at
tack was renewed twice and twice re-
pulsed, according to Marshall's account.
Garfield reported making persistent at
tempts, reinforcing his line, and eff
forts to prevent Marshall from turn
ing his right flank. The slopes were
steep and the crests covered with trees
and rocks, which offered good protec-
tion to the Confederates. The engage
ment lasted four hours, both sides
claiming the victory and both with
drawing from the battlefield at night
fall. General Marshall estimated Colo
mel Garield's forces at 5000 and states
his own at 1900 His loss was nine
killed and fourteen wounded, according
to the records, but Garfield reported
finding eighty-fve Confederate dead.
Marshall Retreats to Virginia.
Marshall withdrew next day, taking
three days to reach Martins Mil, on

battlefield. This was the nearest point

Thomas set out from the interior Of
Kentucky to drive the enemy from the
upper Cumberland region and across
the mountains of East Tennessee. On
the north bank Of the Cumberland,
opposite Mill Springs, the Confederates
held a fortified position, which Thorn
