THIRTY-Slx MILES LONG.
A Railroad That Defies the State of
Georgia.

There is an obdurate little railroad in
Georgia which has not only shown dis
position to fight all the rest of the state,
but which seem serenely confident that it
will win 1t is only thirty six miles
long and runs from Dublin to Tennille.
Its name is the Wrightsville and Tennille
railroad and is especially distinguished for
its prosperity and its pugnacious quail
ties. Last year the cotton growers along
the line of this road were compelled to
ship their cotton over the Georgia Central
because the road refused to issue through
bills of lading over any other line. Some
of the growers wanted to ship their cot
ton over the Augusta Southern but the
Wrightsville and Tennille refused to give
them through bills over that line, and
made no pretence to disguise their prefer
ences. The result was that the Georgia
Central got nearly all the cotton and
Augusta Southern got left
The matter was carried before the rail-
road commission and that body handed
down decision ordering the Wrights-
vile and Tennille railroad to issue
uilouSii pAi1o VI ItuluS oyer oil rdllfOdUS,
and not to play any favorites. The COM
mission also ordered the attorney general
of the state to begin proceedings for dam
ages against the recalcitrant railroad and
to try the issue involved before the state
courts. Attorney General Terrell has
prepared his case and will go down to
Dublin to try it before Judge Hart. The
defence will be represented by former
Senator A. E. Daily of Wrightsville. Not
only is the right of the state to manage
its railroads involved in the trial of the
case, but the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is interested as we'll. The line
of the Georgia Central runs entirely
through the State, while the Augusta
Southern line-the destination of both
being Savannah-carries the freight north
to Hamburg and then south over the Port
Royal route through South Carolina.
This brings up the Interstate Commerce
Commission question, and not only the
railroad people of Georgia, but the cotton
growers as well are deeply interested in
the result of the legal Atlantic
Constitution.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Harrison, August 10.-Dr. J.P. Blake's s
horse made things quite lively in Marsh
all Jordan & Sons store this forenoon.
She came into the village at a two-min-
ute clip with trace chains flying, coming
down Main street and turning into Front
street, ran into the store. 1t seemed as
though there must be q general mixing
up OF merchandise, but one Of the clerks,
(Harry K1mball), was near by and for
some reason only known to himself,
made good time down the aisle to the dry
goods department and up another aisle
through the boot and shoe department,
the horse following until they reached
the safe, when the clerk made flying
leap and landed in the post office The
horse at this point was caught. Not one
cent? worth of damage was done to any
thing. A few moments before two gro
Gerry teams were standing just in front of
the store with small child in EACH 1t
was what might be termed lucky run
away.

VOLLEY BALL.

Close Game Played at the Y. M. c.
A. Gymnasium on Thursday.
An exciting and close game OF volley
ball was PLAYED last Thursday night at
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium before qaite
crowd OF mem bers between the Peerless
team and picked team and was won By
the former by score of SO to 35. 1t was
the closest game of volley ball ever played
in the gymnasium. and many hot rallies
were participated in by the men OF both
sides.
The captain of the Peerless team was
Ed II. Ziska and that of he pickle team
was Toen jes of the German team of the
German branch of the Y. NJ. G. A.
For the losers Dave Grant played the
better bail and he is about the best of that
team. H. Toenjes made the most points
for his side. For the winners L. G. Chap
onet made the most points for his side
through his fine serving of the ball.
Stewart McDougall and Cap ain Ziska
played a good steady game and H. Nor
ton, the new mem Der, made fair show
ing.
Rudolph Horner, secretary of the Ger
man branch of the Y. M. Z. A., acted as
umpire and scorer.

and outfitting "Ranjy" opens the serious
part of his work with an essay on field:
inc. II is interesting to learn that at Raj
Knmar College in India, where the auth hor
learned his cricket, the fielding exceled
the batting and bowling. This he at
tributes to the absence OF net practice.

teresting. Fifteen different plans OF the
,;ajd re given to suit various bowlers, and
young crickelers will be amazed Dy the
yery scientific analysis of the varying de-
liyeries anJ the field arrangements which
thew necessitate.

is the chapter on batting. ie" pages
are devoted to the bat itself, ana lhe
author insists on proper pads and gloves.
