CAPT. LANGFORD ENTERTAINS
MEMBERS OF HIS COMPANY

Captain w. S. Langford. who is Oh
a visit to his old home happened tc
be here on memorial day and finding
quite a number of the members of his
company in the city at the time he
complimented them at dinner at the
Busy Bee on Friday.
Captain Langford's company, Co =
first regiment, was one of the first 20
report for duty when the call came
for volunteers at the outbreak of the
Span'i:h-American war, and it was
complimented very highly for it's
efficiency and the excellent manner in
which it had been handled by him, by
the commanding officers Of the regi-
ment, and, in fact, it was one of the
crack companies of the regiment.
And the members responded prompt
ly when the first call came for VOL
unteers. True they did not get into
battle but they went to camp and were
in the service for several months and
were ready to go on, but before they
got to Cuba the war had been won.
Just as some Of the boys in the world
war. Some of them did not gel
further than the cantonments in this
country, and some Of them that wer:
over sea did not get away from the
coast over there and never got into
the real fighting, but it was no fault Of
theirs. They were doing their duty.
The members of the company who
were the guests Of Captain Langford
Friday were: w. B. Wise, W. W. Far,
row, j. C. Duncan, G. P. Boulware,,
Edgar Sigh, C. T. Cromer, p. D.,
Johnson, G. F. Smith, T. G. Williams.
And upon the invitation OF Captain
Langford the editor Of The Herald and
News had the pleasure Of enjoying the
dinner with them: = %
:::They decided to have another re,
union year hence and Captain Lang
ford extended an invitation to them
to join him year hence at another
dinner and endeavor to have all the
members OF the company present as
his guests and that he would come
from his far away Texas home to be
with them.
1t was a very pleasant occasion.

 "As late as 10 days ago I was made to feel humiliated at Camp Shelby, Miss, when I saw group of negro leutenants eating in the same mess with white off, cers with white boys serving them food and cooking for them. T don't know what or who is responsi- ble for that policy or condition of affairs, and I am not in an attitude of criticizing the war department, but I do know they exist and that sometimes white officers are so unfortunate as to be attached to casual companies and sometimes must sleep in certain camps where this condl- ton does or did exist.
 Since being mustered out of the fed eral service I have found that white people, to whom the soldiers are return ing, when told of this condition become very indignant.
 Some of the loudest protests against this condition I heard in France, and in this country came from white officers from the north, so it is not a sectional question.
 That this condition does exist is re- grettable, because it intensifies the feel ing between the two races who must live together and work together for the upbuilding and development of the coun- try. I don't think race prejudice is the basis of the returned soldiers complaint, but race pride, the pride of a civilization that reaches back to Athens and Rome. rather than a standard that came from the Congo"

FLORENCE

Florence. July 5.-(Special.) )-Recently the street railway company which oper- ates in Florence asked the city commits sion to allow them to raise the rates, cease operating in certain sections of the town and to relieve them of the expense of street paving on which an agreement could not be reached. The matter has TOW been referred to the Alabama public service commission at Montgomery for adjustment.
 The Florence Chamber of Commerce has appointed the following committee to attend the hearing of the petition of the street railway company at Montgomery on July 2: H. A. Bradshaw H. J. Will lingham. M. M. Striplin, B. A. Rogers, Mayor w. g. Eastep Judge J. F. Koonce, w. F. Mcfarland, $. w. Frierson, w. M, Richardson, O. c. Hackworth. H. J. Moore M. A. Lghtman, T. M. Rogers, and Secretary M. T. Jacobs.
 The street railway company at this time cars and will endeavor to make a show = ing as to why it should be relieved from paving assessments by the Tri-Cities, and will perhaps ask for the right to abandon certain portions of their right of way.
 The Florence delegation, it is under stood. will offer no objections to the pro- posed raise in rates.
