Washington, a recent organization, whose
rooms are at the corner of 9th and I
streets southwest. is getting along at a
lively rate. They will soon be represented

. Trinidad Athletic Club.

The Trinidad Atethic Club of Northeast
Washington has not been reorganized this
spring as yet. The Trinidads were organ
lied last summer, and had a successful and
winning base ball nine and a good member
ship. Their intention last fall was to Sc
cure quarters and 60 into indoor athletics
for the winter. but they failed to find good
enough accommodations in the neighbor-
hood, and so disbanded. At the time,
though, it was thought that they would get
together again this summer and keep up
the club. They have not set the wheels
moving yet, however, and the interest fell
away so much during the winter that the
club may not be reorganized at ALL But
however this may be- there are some good
ball players in those parts, and that section
will likely soon be represented by a ball
team at any rate.

A Tillulan Spy.

For sometime past the LIQUOR deal.
ers Of this city have been much con.
cerned as to how their shipments
became known to the authorities in
South Carolina.
OF course the presence of 1illmau
spies was immediately suspected, but
these limbs of palmetto law kept their
secrets we'll for quite while, but now
that they are known the usefulness OF
them is destroyed. The main guy OF
the squad that looks after dispensary
interests Oh this side of the river is a
fellow, by name, johnson. He is of
medium height, quite fat, wears a
blonde mustache and from this time
on will wear worried look"
johnson has been in Augusta for
some time and was unsupported by
some of the dealers who knew him in
former times. It has been his prac.
tice to visit the South Carolina and
Port Royal Railroad express cars every
day at leaving time and catch on to
such information as he could. He
would also follow drays that he saw
being loaded in front of liquor stores
and has been burning about the Ex.
press Company's Office on Broad street
Whenever he caught on to anything
he would telegraph to the authorities
IN Carolina, who would intercept tho
packages.
Mr.. j. B. Walsh, former dealer
in Carolina seemed to be the especial
pet of MIR. johnson" and he (Mr.
Walsh) made kick to the railroad
authorities for allowing his inspection
which will now be stopped.
His spyship not only comes over
here to worry merchants who are not
under his masters jurisdiction, but he
also wants police protection for carry
ing q revolver. Last afternoon he
sauntered into headuuarters, and call.
ing Lieut.. Cartledge to one side in.
qulred if he was not entitled to carry
a gun.
The lieutenant replied that he had
the proud American prerogative of
supplying himself with deadly
weapon at the price of $lO0 or 20 so
days on the public roads and that, if
caught, n case would most certainly
be made against him.
Spy johnson is assisted in his work
by an ex-memoer of the Augusta
police force.

lsrOgrcBS OF tho South.

BALTIMORE, March 15.-The Manu-
facturers' Record in it's weekly sum
mary Of the business conditions OF
the South says: "One Of the notice
able features of the business interests
Of the South is the unusually large
number Of capitalists and home seek.
ers who are now Investigating the re-
sourses and attractions of this section,
and this IS being followed by some
large sales of properties and exton-
slve colonization projects"
There is no longer any doubt that
the South is progressing; all we
need to make it far ahead of the
North and West is unity, and, espe
cially unity in South Carolina; but
South Carolina is unanimous on one
point, and that is that politics in this
State arc---what; can any one
answer?
To advance rapidly we must first
learn the appreciation and use of our
possessions, before we can expect to
gain capitalists, or even desirable
immigrants. Let us therefore unite,
study the possibilities Of the South,
exert both brain and muscle, and
show the world that we arc the peo.
pie.
