Col. Garrard Says the Advisory Board

been attacking the military advisory board
for not notifying the various commands Of

and Is growing impatient at the delay.
Col. William Garrard, who is a member
OF the advisory board, said when approached
about the matter that the adVis-
Org board has nothing to do
with notifying the commands
when they are to enter camp. It's duties In
connection with the camp ceasing when 1t
Is ready for occupancy by the soldiers.
This, he said. will be done by the governor
through the adjutant generals office, and
he has no doubt all the commands will be
properly notified, IL 1t has not already been
done. Col Garrard said he understands
the First and Fourth regiments, which will
enter camp May q, have already been noti-
fed.
Col Garrard said the latest advices are that
the camp will be In readiness for the ocou-
pancy OF the troops by the time appointed,
May n, and that it will be the most COM
pletely appointed encampment in all its de-
tails that the state has yet held. The indi.
cations are that there will be an immense
peach and grape crop in the neigh
borhood OF Griffin and that there
will be fruit in any quantity for the troops.
This, in itself, will be no small inducements
to the soldier bows

No Decision on Imitation Typewrit-
ten Letters.
The postofice department has made nc
recent decision affecting the classification
of circulars printed In imitation Of type
written letters, such circulars being still
considered as third-class matter, except
where the reproduction is difficult or i'm
possible TO recognize az a reproduction.
in which case the matter Is chargeable with
letter postage.
A new fast-mail system said TO be capa-
BILE OF wonderful speed has been devised by
DIR. B. e. Osborn OF Auburn, N. Y. 1t
consists of an aerial electric mail car made
of aluminium, supported with compressed
hydrogen and running on two large trolley
wires Electricity from the wires COM
municates through the motor inside the car
and sets into rapid motion series of fans
and wings. The front Is surmounted by an
electric light. This car, it Is claimed, will
transport about 100 pounds OF mail.
A new and very popular letter card" q
copy Of the United States letter sheet idea,
has Just been issued by the British postoffice.
1t folds once and the edges can be gummed
down. The available writing space Is
6Lx41 inches. The cards are sold at ten
for a shilling. The regular English post
cards cost trife more than half penny
each, the government charging for the card
as well as for the cent postage.
The rapid delivery OF London postmen is
due, as is well know n, TO the fact that every
house Is obliged by law to be furnished with
a post>box In the front door. Thus the
postman delivers his mail. gives double
knock and goes on his way. This method
is proved by experience TO be great con
venlence to the carrier and to the household,
and illustrates one claim TO superiority Of
the English system over the American.
Advices from st. Louis, however. are that
the house to house collection, as we'll deliv-
cry experiment, is likely to prove successful.
II il should, this would be distinct gain
for the United States system.

A TaRBE-coRNERBD SUIT.
a ship Captain, Colored Stsvedore
and q Lumber Com papy in II.

4 Ship Captain, d Colored Stevedore
and a Lumber Company in 1t.
The Georgia Lumber Company, Sam
Daniels, colored stevedore, the schooner
William r. Neely and its master, Capt.
Thompson, are the parties TO a rather COM
plicated and interesting case, which doubt
lees will not conclude without lawsuits.
The schooner was chartered by Bush &
Son of Philadelphia, and ives sent here to
be loaded with 1872, 900 feet Of lumber by
the Georgia Lumber Company. Capt.
Thomson is part owner of the vessel and
when be arrived he entered into q contract
with Daniels to load her. The lumber com
pany had previously notified the coiored
stevedore that he should not load vessels as
its wharf, aud he was ordered to stop.
Daniels. however, paid no attention, and
undertook TO go on with the work. be was
then arrested tor trespass.
Capt. Thompson was angered at this turn
of affairs and refused TO allow any other
stevedore to load the Nicely. He said he
had made contract with Daniels and he
proposed to live UP to the contract. The
lumber company offered to furnish a steve
dore to attend 10 the loading, but Capt.
Thompson wouldn't have him.
Yesterday morning Daniels boarded a
boat and by that means got on the Nicely
without trespassing on the Georgia COM
pany's wharf. He could get no lumber,
however. and the lumber company had him
arrested again for trespass. Daniels gave
bond, and intends to enter suit for false
prosecution as he claims TO have in no man
ner trespassed on the company's property.
Thus the matter stands for the present.
The Nelly is waiting at the lumber COM
pany's wharf for cargo, which the COM
pany is ready to deliver under the condition
that Daniels doesn't do the loading. Capt.
Thompson states that nobody else except
Daniels will do it, and if he is put TO any loss
he will likely sue the Georgia company.
Daniels also intimates that he will enter
suit for the trouble put upon him.
