 District Passenger Agents Appointed.
 MT. E. E. Posey, general passenger agent of the Mobile and Ohio, knows d. good thing when he sees it. and doesn't mind pushing it along, either. He has just made some appointments which are considered good things for the state of Alabama. as well as for other points in the south. He has appointed three dis tr1ct passenger agents whose duty it will be to work immigration to the south. They are: w. H. Harrison, district pas senSef agent at DeSMoines, la; w. J. Mclean, district passenger agent at Chicago, and M, II. BohreeT. district pas senger agent at Detroit. Mich.
 For the past three years MT. Harrison has been in charge of the immigration advertising of the Mobile and Ohio and has already showed his ability in that line.
 General Passenger Agent Posey is do- ing much for the upbuilding of Alabama and Mississippi, and this last move of his is of much greater magnitude than it seems. That Alabama and Mississippi will receive great benefits from it there is no doubt
 F. c. Shepard Appointed General Freight
 Agent.
 Official circulars were received in the city yesterday announcing the appoint ment of MT T. c. Shepard as general freight agent of the Louisville and Nash vile at. Montgomery, to succeed Theo H. Welch deceased.
 MT. Shepard, up to date. has beeh gen. eral agent of the Louisville and Nash vile at New Orleans. MT Shepard is well known in railroad circles and is a rising young rairoader.
 More Railroad Building.
 The Colbert County Banner, printed at TuscumbiG- says: The Louisville and Nashville road will be extended to Tus- cumbia in very short while. It is thought that the extension will cause a change in the schedule, and the pas senger train will leave Tuscumbia early in the morning, make the trip through to Nashville. with no change at Colum- bia, and return in the evening, arriving here about dark. The crews would then lay over here. In the event the report Is true. Nashville would no doubt get a large share of the trade that now goes 10 Memphis, and the Louisville and Nash vile will make the Memphis and Charles ton hustle.

Now for Some Fun.

Columbia, S. C., May Ex-Governor Evans has given the state liquor con- stables strict instructions to wage re- lentless war against the blind tigers, and has advised them to seize all liquor packages shipped into the state, which in their judgment is not for the per sonal use" of the consignees. In conse- quence of these instructions and in view of the fact that no one whose liquor has constables punished for the violation of Judge Simontons order of injunction
 the constables have become very bold
 and this week no end of jugs and small kegs coming from North Carolina have been seized. Most of these jugs come addressed to the consignee in proper form and bear the additional inscrp-

Montgomery could not break away in her half of the ninth, and in the fifth Atlanta made the fifth and last run of the game, Montgomery not being able to get man to first. In the ninth Callahan was put in to bat for Wood and as the game was not finished in that inning Callahan pitched the ninth and tenth. and it was good work he did. Only three men went to bat in each of the two innings and of that number he struck out two. Score:
