Editor Virginian-Pilot,
Cannot your valuable paper aid the
poor suffering residents OF Lambert's
Point who have to travel four times
some relief from the present execrable
service furnished them by the Norfolk
Railway and Light Company? Just
imagine the pleasure of being crowded
In closed cars in this weather!
Four cars in the forenoon and five
cars in the afternoon do this service,
and of this number only two are open
cars.
1t seems to me that the mana cement
would take pleasure in catering to the
comforts OF its patrons. but this does
not appear to be the case on this
branch OF the road.

Editor Hirginian- Pilot:
Dear Sir-In your issue of to-day
Saturday, under the head of DISMAL
Swamp Fires" I find the following,
which Is indeed news to this company:
"They have decreased the supply of
water also in the Dismal Swamp and
the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canals.
Both canals continue navigation, but
not for deep draught boats. The mani
ayers of both canals declare that they
Will continue traffic as usual despite
the fact that the supply of water is
affected"
Please allow mo to state that the AL
bemarle and Chesapeake Canal is not
dependent on the Dismal or any other
swamp for it's supply of water, as the
Chesapeake Bay at one (north) end and
the Albemarle Sound at the other
(south) end furnishes the canal with
all the water 1t can possibly use. Its
navigation cannot be affected by
drought or swamp fires. The managers
of this company do declare that they
will continue traffic as usual" and
would add to this declaration that the
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal can
accommodate to-day rs large vessels as
were ever used on this old and reliable
waterway. Very respectfully.
ID. S. EURWELL.
Treasurer Albemarle & Chesapeake

opeclal to The State.
Winnsboro, Sept 25.-At $3.50
this morning fire was discovered
In the cotton on the south plat
form of the Southern railway
freight depot. 1t spread rapidly
and caught the roof of the brick
depot building, completely cutting
it and partly destroying the con
tents. Tho building contained
about 81, 600 worth of goods of
different kinds which were ruined
by fire and water. Besides these
about $50 bales of c)tton on the
south platform were consumed
while 500 bales on the north
platform were untouched. Sew
eral freight cars were slightly
burned. The total loss on build.
ing, contents and cotton on plat
form was about SIS, 900, partly
covered by insurance.
Had it not been for very hard
work on tho part of the firenen
and the heavy pressure of water
the loss would have bsen nearly
three times as great. The cause
of the fire is not known.

structs Navigation.

Washington, Sept 25-Th.
wreck of the Maine is to be re
moved from Havana harbor and
officers of the army and navy are
wondering if the mystery of the
battleship's destruction is to be
solved.
Secretary Long has decided that
the vessel is Of no value to the
navy, and Gen Wood, Governor
General of Cuba, declares she is
an obstruction to navigation. Gen
Wood desires to remove the ship,
and now that Secretary Long h..
no objection this action will be
taken.
The decision reached by Secre
tary Long folloued the receipt of
n communication received from
Gen Wood referred to him by
Adjt Corbin, as Acting Secretary
of War. Gen Wood called the
attention os tho War Department
to the wrecks of the Spanish ships
lying along the coast He said
that every interest demanded their
removal, as they were a menace
to navigation and were of no value
to the United States. He referred
particularly to the wreck of the
Sorgs Juan. in the Bay of Nipe,
and said that he had received an
application from party willing
to surrender armament and other
equipment of value provided hs
Is given the hull, which he is will
ing to remove. This application
is one of several for permission
to remove all the Spanish ships
wrecked and the wreck of tn.

The New Game Law
Crocus Sacks Will he the Hunters
Blind Tiger.

1t seems likely that a united
effort will be made this season to
capture and prosecute persons
who kill game out of season, and
those who violate tho new game
law which prohibits the sale of
partridges for five years.
The sporting men of the state
have interested themselves in the
matter and it looks like they will
labor in = systematic manner.
The Charleston Gun Club have
created quite "scars" around
that city already. The club has
sounded note of warming to the
hotel and restaurant owners
against employing hunters to kill
game for their use. Similar ac
tion will be taken all over tho
state, and the familiar sign "quail
on toast" in front of the restau>
rants will not be in evidence.
Crocus sacks will be in demand
this season. The sacks are known
As the "pot hunters blind tiger, ="
and they will play a prominent
part In preventing the capture of
tho person selling birds. Tho
sacks were used in former years
before the hunting season opened,
but the new law increases the
value of the crocus and they will
be "toted" all the year round. -

Young Liverym.n of Timmons-

BY a Negro Who Escapes
Arrest.
Special TO The State.

-opeclal 10 lhe State.
Timmonsville, Sept 25-Last
night at about 10 o'clock Mr.. J
M Trueluck, prominent young
liverymsn of this place, was shot
and dangerously wounded by a
negro, Amos Singleterry by name.
The wound is in the abdomen, and
the doctors have been unable To
locate it. 1t is considered as be-.
ing very dangerous. The shoot
ing took place near the stables of
Aessrs Purvis and TrueIuck, and
the following are the facts in the
case. Mr.. Mllliard Purvjs, a
brother of Mr.. Trueluck's part
ner, had difficulty with the ne.
gro IN the afternoon in which the
negro was lightly punished for
having given offense to Mr.. Pur-
Wis some time ago. Tho trouble
was considered settled and Mr..
Porvis had gone homo. At the
hour named above, MIR. Trueluck
met the negro at the stables and
the negro cursed him. Mr.. True
luck ran for the negro and the lat :
tor shot him as above described
Mr.. Trueluck followed him to the
rear of the stables and scuffled
with him, taking tho pistol fr, m
him. Being very weak from the
shock of the wound, the negro
broke loose and made his escape.
The sheriff was notified and came
with dogs, but the negro has not
been captured. The shooting
created great excitement among
the friends of Mr.. Trueluck, and
esrnest efforts are being made to
arrest the negro. Mr.. Trueluck
is very popular yonng man and
the town is shocked. Latest re-
ports are that he is resting az easy
as his dangerous wound could
admit of.

thoroughly. Let six hours elapse
between meals and when you feel a
fullness and weight in the region of
