WE desire 70 state that our steam boats. A.
" j. White and Geo. W CheeE- have.
since the Withdrawal OF Captain Lees boa.
some weeks ago, been running in the Mem
phis and Frlar.s Point trade making daily
trips
virtue Of having had boat in this tra1ara11
having just completed "a new boat, owned 1F
several gentlemen between this and trIsr.-
Point, built for that trade Hufll-Eu his boat
70 q day in said trade, We INN Cd a-e'y VIM
drew the steamer Geo. W. cheek from
the Frisr's Point trade, leaving one
day Tor the White and one for Cap
tain Lees boat. Captain Lee advertised
tnat the Alln would leave on Monday
and did start her out on that Day ll
opposition TO the White, after which we or
dered the Cheek TO return 70 Mem pllz and
resume her trips on Tuesday. After haTIu-
made two trips agatnsr eur boat, and just be-
fore the White and Alliu were to leave this
port on Monday evening last, Captain Cle9A
had an Interview with captain Lee la l----
that the dispute IS 70 which boat slCu-L
leave on Monday might be settled and the
conflict between Captain Lee anQ ourse-iaa
ended. The Interview resulted iu Captain
Lee having the choice o. days, and Captain
Cheek naming the days each 1oat slol--
Cheek should WtthdEaW the steamer Lle9s
rom the Friar's Point trade, and that
The White and AJliu should I'm future make
each two trips per week instead OF three as
previously. Captain Cheek named Mondays
and Thursdays for one 00Er and Tuesdays and
Fridays for the other. Captain Lee chose
y
his boat would leave Memphis. leaving Mon
days and Thursdays Tor the White.
We tmmediately Withdrew the steamer
Cheek nom the trade and as captain Lee
claimed thai his boat was compelled -C 60
out that evening Captain Cheek laid the
" Whtte over until the next day, turning 0Ver
all her passengers to the Phil Alliu. Captain
Lee ackn WledginE the daV to be ours. and
agreeing that in future the AlIlu should leave
On Tuesdays and Fridays and The White on
Mondays and Thursdays.
We, without hesitation, gave him the BEN
enf Of that trip; turned ever TO his boat cur
passengers, and laid the White over, w-rl-
drawing the Cheek entirely rom the trade.
This settlement OF our dispute was lal-e-
by every one with delight, and al seemed %
