Whcl ssalers Jubilant Over New Fl e,eht
 Rate Social and Sporting.

Demopolis, June 7-(Special Corre- spondence.)- Jour wholesalers are all wearing a jubilant look on account of the new freight rate which we received here today. Ever since the Southern got a hand on the Queen and Crescent we have been working to get a rate which would put US in line with Meridian and allow us to compete with that place up and down the road. A few days ago the transportation committee of the Com mercial and Industrial association met and drafted letter to MT. Ray Knight protesting against the injustice of the rates as they then stood and requested that he take immediate steps to put us in line. This morning the new rates were announced. The cut is a good one, almost 40 per cent. We also get new rate to York. To give an idea of what the charge Is, give you herewith the rate on flour compared with the old To York per barrel, new rate, IS cents; old. 28 cents
 Eutaw, new rate, 30 cents; old 49 cents.- Bolgee, new rate. 27 cents old, 46 cents. Livingston, new rate. 21 cents; old, 3S cents. EppeS, new rate, 24 cents; old, 43 cents. This is really big thing for our town, and such hustling merchants as we have will not be long taking advaut- age of it; in fact heard one of them saJ today that from now on they would hav4 a regular travelling man on the road. There Is now no reason why we cannot get our share of that trade. The rate is the only thing that has kept us out this long and from this time on when Me- ridian gets into these places she has got to give better prices than she has been doing all this time All wc need now is to have an outgoing rate to places on tht line between this place and Selma. and you will see us bloom into iobbng place of the first magnitude
 But we have set of fellows who wear as long faces as a our wholesalers wear smiling ones; these are our basebabists.. who went up against the Greensboros yesterday. You can't get a smile out of them with a feather. Poor Captain Morris mouth droops like it had weights to it. and all he says is that he didn f expect to win, but he didn't think thy. would be shut out. Well. boys sws

Wedding on the Style of the English.
 Quaint Discovery by Explorers.
 Florence, June S.-(Special Correspond ence. 1.-The marriage of Dr. Dudley Saunders of Memphis and Miss Wylodine Hardin occurred Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in Trinity church. Only few relatives and intimate friends were pres ent, and but few were aware that the hour had been changed. It was an Eng fish morning wedding without music, and was marked by extreme simplicity. The bride was becomingly attired in white duchesse satin, trimmed with Point de Agloncon lace, pearl passs- menterie and antique lace the latter an heirloom which had been worn by her mother on her bridal day. The only at- tendants were Miss Alma Black, an in- tmate friend of the bride, and Dr. Ed Elicit. warm personal friend of the groom. both of Memphis. The bride was given away by Col. Sam Thompson of the famous Tenth Tennessee regiment. Dr. Saunders and his charming bride will make Florence their home
 Some parties living near Barton Sta tion, Ala, claim to have made a re- markable archaeological discovery sev- eral days ago along the bluffs of the Tennessee river, between Sheffield and Riverton. At the point where the dis covereS are said to have been made the bluff has the appearance of a solid wall of rock, but the party of prospectors
 
 claim to have discovered traces of mans handiwork in building the bluff, and closer inspection, they say, proved con clusively that the bluff at that point had been put there by people who knew how to build smooth wall and firm one.
 With crowbar and pickaxe the pros- pectors. after much work, succeeded in removing a large, almost square stone The aperture thus made proved to be the entrance to a cave, which had evil denty been cut out of the wall of rock.
 Within the cave the prospectors claim to have found human bones in such a state of decomposition that they crum- bled to dust when lifted. an relics of a prehistoric race-VaSeS ah1 pottery quaintly and curiously carved and en- tirely different from those found in the Indian mounds of this section.
 From the position of the human bones and the articles which were around them, the prospectors are inclined to be- lieve the cave a burial place for a peo- pie long ages extinct.
 The prospecting party carried num- Der of the relics home with them and they say will submit them to some learned archaeologist to determine. if possible the age and race to which they belong.
 The men are confident that other caves similar to the one explored can be found in the same neighborhood and an- other party of prospectors will shortly make an effort to locate them.
 Until the recent discovery was made no one thought for moment that the bluff was other than a solid rock built by nature. Now, however. the people are inclined to look with suspicion upon ev- cry bluff that lines the Tennessee.
