CAPT. SLOAN INSPECTS
 NATIONAL GUARD

Little Rock, April 5-Some shaking up will take place in the Arkansas National Guard when the report of Captain Albert B. Sloan, regular Army officer who Is inspecting the Guard of the State, reaches Acting Governor FutreIl. This will be done with the intent of saving the Guard and making it into a military or ganization the State government would have it be.
 Capt. Sloan, after inspecting eighteen companies in North and East Arkansas, compliments some of the companies very high. ly, in report made to military headquarters, and some compan- ies he has spoken of in strong disapproval. There are some of the companies which Capt. Sloan ranked with any of those in the regular Army, Tn neatness, drill and discipline. Some of these companies he stated were poorly drilled, the armories illkept, and the members were garbed as though they had thrown the uni forms in a pile and scrambled for the different peices they wore.
 Some of the companies can not be complimented too highly stated Capt. Sloan, "and the pro- gress they have made is marvel ouS. Though they drill not more than once a week, they compare well with the regulars who drill daily, and spend a number of hours at it. I'll tell you, there is something to the company which gets out and pays the armory rent, chips in and buys lumber for the lockers in which to keep their equipment, and then builds the lockers itself.
 The action of the legislature has instilled a fighting spirit in most of the con- panies, and they are determined not to be muster ed out of the service. This spir- it will do more to maintain the Guard than anything else, and the failure of the legislature to make an appropriation for the Guard ought not to hurt so very bad, for it has put the boys on their mettle, and every man who talks to me on the subject expres ses surprise at the action of the legislature and wants to back the Guard and keep it in service."
 Capt. Sloan will leave Monday to inspect the companies in the Southern part of the state.

WHAT ELLISVILLE SHOULD DO.
In Regard to the North
Eastern Railways Fight
on Our Town.

Editor ZONES County News:
Eliisvile has not ouly given th,
N. o q N. E. Railway a generous
patronage ever siuce il was construct-
ed, but has granted it every privilege
asked for, and We did not demand
even our rights.
But now since the present official.
OF that road have began fight on
our town and refused crossing Of
its tracks by the trolly line, a priy.
lege it has granted both Laurel and
Hattiesburg, It's high time that our
town asserts its rights and show that
1t does not int I'd to be Disseminated
against. The NORTHEASTERN has
turned down most reasonable re-
quest, made by a mass meeting OF
our people, ana now let Us have our
rights
First the city authorities should
require this road to build a cross
ny FOR every street in our town that
ouches at its tracks, and we can TINS
greatly improve our town ana make
travel more convenient. This should
have been done long ago. The town
authorities Ghaye clear right 10
have these crossings put il.
Second require the railway to
move It's depot from the middle OF
our principal street and place i
elsewhere. Then let the town con.
dtmn any right OF way owned by the
road where needed for pubic teyts,
and have all distractions removed.
These changes wou d make Il great
improvement in Ellisville, and our
city fathers should see that the work
is done at once.
Ellisville only asked of the North
Eastern "a tight that line had granted
other and neighboring towns, and
we we're refused aud told that before
granting a grade crossing they would
carry the case to the Supreme Court
20 { the United States, thus delaying
the work for "A Ions time, to the seri-
Gus harm of Ellisville and it's every
business house. More anon.
