SrocKs.-The stock market showed no
Improvement in its volume of business to-

from weakness to strength occurred, ana
while the upward movement at no time
amounted to a boom, there was after the
first few minutes a steady appreciation
of values, which, in spite OF
the material opening declines,
had the effect Of leaving everything
on the list fractionally higher, with here
and there a material advance. The news
from the West was of most rcassurlng

An Inquiry of a Postmaster.

PEMBROKE, Aug. 15-Editor Morning
Net0s: This embryo town, hitherto so quiet

meat yesterday by the incoming mail from
Washington, which brought the official in.
telligence of the removal of popular post
master, J. A. Murrow, and the appoint
ment of J. D. Strickland of Bulloch county
as his successor.
DIR. Murrow has been a faithful and eff
Gent officer a democrat of conser vative
but positive views, and it is marvelously
strange that he should be removed for
offensive partsanship. Strickland, his
successor, has always been regarded as a
democrat. but the startling fact now leaks
out that he secretly claims to be a radical.
and by Endorsements to this effect by lead
ing republicans of Bryan county, supple
mented by charges against D.. Murrow.
has secured the appointment of postmaster.
The people here are indignan and want
to know precisely where Strickland stands.
To sottle this matter please publish this letter
and this question:
Messrs. w. J. aud J. D. Strickland, the
people want to know where you stand. Are
you a radical or a democrat! Hoist your
flag and let the people know.

THE LUMBER INTERESTS.
What is 70 be Done at the Saw-niu
Mems Meeting at Macon.

-ACh . -AOCSAA-8 1AdCOu.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 1G.-The lumber
manufacturers of florida are requested to
meet with the Georgia Saw-miI Associa-
ton at Macon. Ca, Tuesday Oct 20, 1890.
Besides securing closer union of the lum-
her interests of the two states, another and
more pertinent question Is TO be handled.
The Alabama mills will be well represented
at this meeting. The inspection law now
being prepared will be discussed, and after
making wha bever changes the meeting may
deem proper, the bill will be introduced at
each of the legislatures of Georgia, Florida
ana Alabama and possibly other states.
The terms of the proposed act will be en-
tirely in the hands Of the meeting to deter
mine. II is safe to believe that whatever
law the lumbermen mite upon will be
favorably received by the several legisla-
lures. To make the law effective it should
be uniform in at least the three states
named
Whatever else may be embodied in the
act, it is hoped asystem of lumber inspec-
ton will be provided; that inspection at
mill or some other point within the juris-
diction of the state courts be absolute. that
delivery to the buyer be made either at the
mill or at some point i'll the state where the
mill is located. The objects of these pro-
Wis ons are easily understood. Transactions
in lumber may then be consunmated within
the jurisdiction of state courts. Under the
present system of lumber delivery the
seller is practically without redress, If be
should fall into the hands of an unreason-
able and dishonest buyer. The mill men Of
Florida will be notified by postal card ten
days before the meeting. Their attendance
is urgently requested.
Reduced ticket rates will probably be
secured. However, In view of the import
ance of the meeting, it is hoped that the
mill men will not be detained on account of
the difference of a few dollars in the rail
road fare. 1t is an opportunity to unite the
interest of the mill men of the southeast,
the good of which all experienced mill men
reuognize, and should not be lost.

sTILLWELL's THRILLING STORY
A Remarkable Battle Between a Man
aud Monster Rat.
From, the Seattle pyess

| a h6ndTRdDl0 Battle between q man
and a Monster Rat.
From the Seattle Press.
George Stillwell, laborer, had a very
exciting adventure with rat, which was,
if Mr.. Stillwells word can BE- taken for it,
about tw o feet in length.
Mr.. Stliwell had occasion to go under
Yesler's wharf in a rewboat early in the
afternoon. He was in a small rowboat,
which he had pushed in far enough to be
almost in darkness, when suddenly he was
| startled by bearing series of noises that
resembled the soueaking made by rat,
only louder and more intense. The noise
| not only continued, but multiplied, until he
appeared to be surrounded on all sides by
r dents, which, judging from the noise,
were of mammoth size. He looked round
him in the gloom, and then he became
thoroughly frightened. Glaring at him
from all directions were eyes that resem-
bled living balls of fire. 1t seemed to his
excited Imagination as though there were
hundreds of these pairs of eyes, and the
noise made by the animals was deafening.
Mr.. Stillwell endeavored to turn his boat
around and head it for the open water, when
suddenly there was SPLASH of the water,
and then heavy object struck the boat
with such force that it caused it to rock
violently. In terror Stillwell glanced
toward the stern Of the boat, and could see
two fiery eyes glazing at him. The eyes
were Lar &c enough to have belonged to a
panther.
Unveils terror increased, and he COM
menced to work his boat out into deep
water, all the time keeping an eye on the
unwelcome passenger in the stern sheets
In the meantime the noise continued. and
when be took his eye for an instant from
the animal in the stern he could see the eyes
on all sides still glaring at him.
Suddenly the man became aware that the
animal in the stern was moving toward
him. He felt for his knife which he usually
carried ia his pocket, but it was not there.
Then he cautiously raised aloft an oar, pre-
paraCory to striking the animal an awful
blow
Just as Stillwell was about to strike, the
animal gave q spring. Stillwell dropped
his oar and grabbed it, just as it sank its
sharp fangs into his clothes, scratching the
skin. Stillwell was astonished to find that
the animal he had seized was apparently
about twice as large and heavy as a full
grown cat. He struggled with the animal
and finally succeeded in throwing it from
him into the water. but not until he had
received several bad scratches and bites.
Srillwell then pushed his boat out into
the open water. and says he will never go
under that wharf again.
This is the story that Stillwell tells of the
manner in which his clothes became torn
and his face scratched. and If you don't be-
lieve the yarn he says he will take you
down and show you the wharf and the skiff
to verify his statement.
