Under the provisions of the Dick

ity to fix such regulations, and an
-rder has just been parsed fixing the
minimum strength of companies at
58 men. The regulation is arbitrary,
and the states that do not comply
will forfeit their government allot
ment of the fund appropriated for
this purpose.
Ily order of the governor the rule
obtaining now as to company strength
in the minimum is 40. The new order
upturns conditions and puts the prob
i< m squarely up to the state.
As yet the official order from ine
war department has not reached the
office of the adjutant, general, and
thoJtssistant adjutant general refuses

A small express package addressed
to Mrs. W. G. Brantley, corning
from Washington, was lost by Eugene
Slrmnous, colored, driver of a South
ern Express Company wagon, Monday
afternoon, and as u result tho express
company or somebody will likely have

tained a diamond stick pin valued at
between $2,00 and SIOO.
Southern Express Agent Hendricks
has offered a, reward of SSO for the re

cover It. It was lost by the driver,
who was working In the place of the
regular driver. Jack Glover, who Is
ssuffering from a broken arm, and who
is tho regular bonded driver of the
company.
It seems that when tho negro left
the express office Monday afternoon
to deliver a number of packages Agen l
Hendricks gave him the small one
containing the pin and told him to be
careful with it. The driver placed it
in his pocket, but jvhen the Brant
