COMMITTEE SECURES FUNDS
FOR THE EHClMPMEHT
The Sum Of $500 is Needed,
and Nearly the Entire Amount
Has Been Subscribed

In order to secure the annual
encampment of the Mississippi
National Guard it was necessary
for Columbus to pledge a bonus
of 81. 525. and a committee from
the Business League consisting
of Col. Jno. P. Mayo. Messrs W..
w. Craig, R. R. Banks. Brooks
MCGOWAN. ]. G. Weatherly. TB.
Blake and |. |. Kaufman was out
Friday afternoon soliciting sub
scriptions to the fund. They met
with signal success in the work,
nearly the entire amount needed
having been subscribed by the
enterprising business and pro-
fessional men of the city.
The money subscribed is to be
used in defraving the incidental
expenses of the encampment,
which amount to quite a goodly
sum. 1t will be necessary for
Columbus to pay one half of the
expenses of the trip which the
Seventeenth Infantry band is to
make from Admission to this city,
the other half being betrayed by
the federal government. 1t will
also be necessary 10 get the camp
grounds in readiness for the
soldiers, and this task entails the
laying of water pipes. the erect
ion of bath houses and other i'm
provements. A portion of the
ground to be used by the soldiers
had a crop growing thereon, and
ia order to remove this impedi-
ment to maneuvers the commit
tee was compelled to reimburse
the owner for the loss incurred,
SO this entaiIed an additional ex-
pense.
Too much can not be said in
praise of the citizens composing
the committee. who are all busy
men, but who were sufficiently
patriotic to neglect their personal
affairs for the time being and put
in some good work in behalf of a
splendid cause.

NAY OPEN Up TRADE WITH
SOUTH AMERICAN PORTS
canalization Of TOmbigbee Will
Afford Cheap Freight Rates
to These Ports

Several weeks ago a gentleman
representing a large number OF
South American merchants who
deal in agricultural implements
visited Columbus for the purpose
of conferring with Mr.. w. w.
Craig. president of the Southern
Manufacturing Company. regard
ing the handling of the products
of that concern. and yesterday
Mr.. Craig received a letter from
the head of the syndicate stating
that he and his associates were
much pleased with the report of
the representative regarding the
agricultural implements made by
the local plant. and would handle
them provided sufficiently cheap
rates of transportation to South
American ports could be secured.
The most effective way in
which cheap freight rates can be
secured is by the canalization of
the Tombigbee river between Co
lumbus and Demopolis. This
would afford a direct water route
to Mobile and thence to South
American ports.
Congress has already passed a
bill providing for a preliminary
survey of the Tombigbee between
Columbus and Demopolis, and
many people think that all we
have to do is to wait, and that the
river will be improved in due
time, Col. Jno. P. Mayo, the
energetic and enthusiastic presi-
dent of the Tcmbigbee River I'M
provement Association. however,
takes another view of the situa-
ton. He thinks that the people
of Columbus and the surround
ing country should keep continu-
ally at work and do everything
in their power to have the stream
improved as speedily as possible.
He is keeping the scheme be-
fore che rdeie, and believes that
this will serve to induce our rep.
resentatives in congress to make
every effort to pass bill pro.
viding for the canalization of the
river passed without unseeming
delay.

The Riflemen Return.

A detachment from the Co.
lumbus Rihemen, after week
spent on the state rifle range at
Camp Williamson, near Vicks-
burg, have returned to the city,
having reached here over the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad about one
O'Clock p. m, Saturday.
The detachment consisted of
eighteen men, and was under
command of Lieutenant Zach
Halbert. The militiamen went
to the rifle range for practice in
sharpshooting and Workmanship,
and were kept pretty busy during
the time they were there. They
all enjoyed good health, however,
and, in spite of the hard work,
had a very pleasant trip.

BUSINESS LEAGUE TO BOOST
the GREAT WHITE WAY
Directors Go ON Record as Being
Heartily in Favor Of the
Proposed Scheme

At their regular semi.monthb
meeting last Thursday night the
directors Of the Business League
gave unreserved Endorsement to
the plan now on foot to provide a
Great White Way for Columbus.
The directors of the league are
heartily in favor of the scheme,
and will do every thing in their
power to push it to successful
consummation.
The Columbus Railway. Light
and Power Company have al
ready erected two sample lamp
posts in front of their Office on
South Market street to show the
people what the lights will be
like. These posts are handsome
in design. and each contains four
arms. with lights at their ends.
and there is a light at the apex.
making five lights to each post
The globes are white, and there
is an electric light of high candle
power enclosed in each one, the
effect being highly pleasing to
the eye.
1t is the purpose of the Colam-
bus Railway. Light and Power
Company to furnish all material
and install the posts absolutely
free, the only thing required Of
the merchants being that they
pay for the current used. This
is certainly q liberal proposition
and should be eagerly accepted
by the merchants.

ing a doubt in our mind as to the
authenticity of the statement,
and further developments show
our surmise to have been correct.
Us later special states that the
story was largely a fake. or at
least decidedly premature.
The second special sent out
from the national capital de.
clares that the scheme has proved
to be a flash in the pan." When
pinned to it. members of the
house and senate who had partic-
ipated in the conference which
developed the idea hastily joined
the don't mention my name"
club. Those who started the
movement abandoned their
efforts to show the participation
of the regular republicans in it
and 1t was clearly apparent that
there was little support forth
coming in that direction.
Only one of the participants in
the informal conferences. Rep
resentative Rollin Rees of Kan
sas, publicly admitted having
had share in the proceedings.
He acknowledged that he had a
petition aimed at President Taft,
and made it public.
Not one of the parties to the
conference had any direct word
from Senator Dixon. Col. Roose-
velt's campaign manager. as to
his attitude.

COTTON CROP MENACED
BY The ARMY WORN
Pests Have Appeared in Prairie
Section of County aud Seri-

The much dreaded army worms
have made their appearance in
this county. Mr.. Jas. A. Watson.
a prominent farmer living in the
prairie section west of the river,
having been in the city Saturday
and reported their presence on
his plantation.
The army worms made their
appearance in the same section
of the county just about this
time last year and wrought ex-
tensive damage to the cotton,
having diminished the prospec-
tive yield almost fifty per cent.
So far as can be learned, Mr..
Watson's is the only plantation
in the county on which the army
worms have been seen, but other
farmers in the nelghborhood are
keeping a dilligent watch for
them and are making arrange
ments to put up a valiant fight
against the pests. Paris green
and arsenate of lead were used
with good effect in getting rid Of
of the worms last year, and local
druggists. anticipating the de-
mands of the farmers, are plac-
ing orders for large quantities Of
these chemicals.
Some farmers are preparing to
use kerosene oil torches to gel

In the country this summer and
will be the first amalgamation of
the citizen soldiery of Mississippi
ever to be commanded by a colo
mel in the regular army. The ma
tionaI guardsmen of other states
will participate in joint maneu-
vers. but Mississippi is the only
state that will have a regular en-
campment, and Col. Jno. T. Van
Orsdale of the Seventeenth In
fantry, U. S. A., will be the first
officer of so high a rank ever
placed in charge of a camp ground
on Mississippi soil.
Col. Van Orsdale has for many
years been stationed at Fort Nc
Pherson, Ca, where he and his
charming wife have a large circle
of friends. 1t is probable that
Mrs Van Orsdale will join her
gallant husband here, and she,
as well as the wives of many
other officers. will add materially
to the social gaieties of the en-
campment. Already rooms at
the hotels are being engaged,
and merchants are looking for
ten days of unusual business
activity.
The survey Of the maneuvre
grounds made by Maj, E. N.
Coffey, Capt. w. NJ. Fassett and
Capt F. w. Walker was very
satisfactory. These Officers win
survey the surrounding country
very carefully and will make
maps of the entire area running
northwest from Columbus to

ing men and munitions of war
from the great valleys of the

post here. Such posts are soon
to be built for three brigades.
This means capacity for 5000
soldiers and a pay roll of $780,
