Overland Cotton.

Fifteen hundred bales of cotton from this place will be hauled to Madison and shipped via boat to Memphis next week. The high rate on the railroads is the cause. About forty-fye cents per bale will be saved by the overland route, besides the idle teams and team sterS can make good wages. It is ex- pected that freight will be shipped by boat for points inland, and wagons will be loaded on the return trip.
 The committee appointed at a meet ing of the merchants sometime ago, to go over the variOHs routes to Madison. are at work, and it is expected that the work will soon commence on the route selected.

Our School.

"CRILA"-This is the name by which the literary society of our school chooses to call itself. The first regular meet ing was held last Friday eve. A well written Essay on the Life and Work of Longfellow by Miss Olive Gatling. a select reading by Miss Bertie Fizer. and quotation from the writings of LongfelIow by each member of the so- clety. completed the regular exercises for the day. Some time was then spent In reading an ddis, uSsing the new col . stitution. This work was not finished So after the announcement that the work would be a study of Whittier to- gether with debate, the society ad- journed.
 The teachers discussed, until the hour of adjournment, the subject of spelling. The subject being by no means exhausted. it was decided to continue its consideration at the next meeting. When it is remembered that as matter of record it is found that out of 100 failures 10 pass civil ser- vice examination % of the applicants fail to pass in spelling, it is seen that spelling is deserving of more attention that is usually given it.
 Miss Mosley's pupils are happy this week-they have the banner.

FIRE IN THE JAIL.

At half past one o'clock Monday
morning loud cries were heard
coming FROM the Jail, the close
neighbors Immediately got up on
hearing the cries of distress, to
learn that the parish Jail was on
FIRE.
Sheriff Rees and Jailer Ber-
trand were Immediately appraised
of the Immediate danger in which
the prisoners we're, and both Off
cials responded promptly. The
FIRE, which may have taken acct
IDENTIFY, or set by one of the priso-
ners, was between the second floor
and ceiling and had made quite a
good Roadway when help arrived.
The prisoners said if they had any
water in the Jail they could have
put it out at the time it was dis
covered, but there was not q drop
of water in the building.
The smoke was so dense that it
vas almost suffocating; the prise.
ners had reason to be alarmed of
their perilous position.
The damage, we believe will be
less than one hundred dollars.

Professionals Not Engaged by the
N. Y. A. G.
STATEMENT OF SECRETARY GULICK
Doubts the Assertions of Pail
Mall Gazette.
NO INQUIRIES PENDING

NEW YORK, August 3O.-Referring to
the statement published in the Pail Mall
Gazette and cabled to the Associated Press
to the effect that most of the members of
the London Athletic Club team, which Is
soon to meet the New York Athletic Club
team in this city. are professional athletes,
hired for the occasion, and that the same
is true Of many Of the members of the
New York Athletic Clubs team, John c.
Gulick. secretary of the latter organiza-
ton, says:
I'VE have every reason to believe that
the team Of the London Athletic Club is
fully up to the standard Of that organiza-
ton, which has endeavored to select the
best competitors at it's command to repre-
sent the club in the various events that are
to occur here.
AS to the New York Athletic Club, the
statement that we have been compelled to
hire professionals to compete is equally
absurd and untrue. This club has taken
pains to secure from among its members
equally good men to meet our English
competitors. We have never, in any sense,
bought up men to compete in it's behalf
and every one of its team is duly elected
member of the club. There are no in
qu.sies pending as to the antecedents of
any of its team, and the statement in the
Pail Mall Gazette to the contrary is abso-
lutely false"

THE MARINE BAND TO GO
The. Complete Organization Will Play on
Labor Day in Philadelphia.
The Controversy Over the Question
Finally Settled-PrOf. Fanciullfs
Position in the Affair.

The result Of the controversy over the
question of where the Marine Band should
play on Labor day has been definitely de-
cided. The complete band will go to Phila-
delphia to Ilay at the head of the parade
Of the Letter Carriers Association.
Until today there was a possibility that
the band should be divided, one-half to play
in the Quaker city and the other half in
Washington; but it has been deemed I'M
wise to divide the band when it makes its
appearance outside of Washington.
Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the band.
who has been criticised by members of the
labor organizations here for failure to keep
the contract to have the band in the Labor
day parade, called at the Navy Department
today to see Secretary McAdoo to get per-
mission to make public a statement of the
causes that led to the breaking Of the
engagement for the band to play in Wash
ington, but was not able to get an audi
ence
Prof Fanciulli claims that great injustice
is being done him by criticisms on his con-
duct and that he has been guilty of nothing
unfair in the failure of the band to play in
this city. He is anxious to please the peo-
pie and the labor organizations here and
regrets that any erroneous ideas of his
course should have become circulated. He
believes that he has not been fairly repre-
scented by members of the labor organiza
lions who have claimed that he has de-
sired to go to Philadelphia in preference to
playing in this city.

MAY STOP THE RACING
Effect of Judge Bischoffs Decision on the
Gray Law.
Acting Chief Conlin Awaiting It
Sport ut Fleetwood Park May BE
Brought to q Close.

NEW YORK, August 3o.-It is altogether
probable that the trotting meeting in prog
ress at Fleetwood Park will be brought to
close by the police.
Acting Chief Conlin said today that If the
decision that the Percy-Gray racing bill
is unconstitutional reaches him he will
have Inspector McCullagh proceed imme4
diately to Fleetwood Park and close the
meeting. He said that he had not yet
received any official notification that racing
for sweepstakes was unconstitutional, and
until he is in receipt of an official notice
that such is the case he will take no ac-
ton in the matter.
Lawyer Van Duzen, representing the rae
ing association. when he heard the opinion
of Acting District Attorney Mcintyre
frankly declared it his intention to pro-
cure an injunction in behalf of the racing
association against the police commits
sioners to restrain them from interfer-
ing with the coming races at Morris Park.
Acting Police Inspector McCullagh visited
the district attorneys Office for the pur-
pose of obtaining instructions, but from
Mr. McIntyre's vague opinion was unable
to determine what action to take at the
race tracks in his jurisdiction.
There was no Interference with the rae
ing at Sheepshead Bay yesterday on ac-
count of Judge Bischoff's decision. In
fact none was expected before Saturday, if
at ALL
