STAY IN THE REGIMENT
Col Lang Says City Must Demon.
strate Enough Military Spirit
to Support Co. /

The officers of Co. X. attended
meeting OF officers OF the ith Regi-
ment at Effiugham July 9th.
At this meeting Col. Lang. in go
ing over the conditions Of the regi-
ment stated that Cairo was reor-
ganizlng its company. He also
stated that this was Cairo's last
chance to stay In the regimnt AID
that the city must demonstrate
whether or not there was enough
military spirit to support a com
pany.
This means that the strength OF
the local company must be brought
up to sixty men between now and
August 10th when the regiment
goes into camp. To do this about
thirty men must be recruited.
AS has been demonstrated in the
past this work requires only desir-
able men of type willing to volun-
teer their services to an organiza-
tion that forms reserve force for
the United States Regular Army and
which also represents law and or
der.
Cairo il next to the largest town
in the ath Regiment and II would
be poor advertisement to have the
| company mustered out. Four other
towns in this regiment will send
companies of IS men and over
while Others will send companies Of
| 65 men OF long enlistment. Paris,
Benton and Carbondale aid claim to
have crack companies and the haisI-
ness men Of these towns are backing
their companies to the limit.
The local Association Of Com
merce has agreed to assist the Cairo
company in both financial and moral
support. This body however. repre-
| sents only the business people and
| it is highly desirable that the rank
and file of the citizens lend their
moral support to the organization.
1t is imperative that Cairo main
tain company for more reasons

Business houses are urged to give
| one of their men for this work and
| desirable young men of good
| physique are urged to present them
| selves for enlistment soon In order
to get in shap for camp.

II Is impossible TO verify this but
the rumor has excellent foundation.
1t is said that the negress will tes-
tify she was in the pantry and saw
woman step into the office and
shoot. The identity OF the woman
incriminated by Celie is not known
outside of official circles.
Or. Carman, in whose office Ms.
Bailey was murdered while he was
with her. declared that Celie has
been bodily kidnapped and is being
detained unlawfully. Incidentally
he declares that he believes that
