FAST FOOTBALL GAME.
Athletic Club Team Did Good Work
 at Pensacola.

Manager Paterson and the local Ath- Ietic Club team returned yesterday morn ing from Pensacola, where they played the Fort Barancas team on Christmas afternoon one of the hottest football games of the season. The local boys played straight football while the sol- diers relied mainly on the mass-tackle formation, and the final score-5 to O. shows how hard fought the game was. The Barancas team outweighed the To- calls nearly twenty pounds, and their team average being 1S0, while that of the locals was 160, but the speed and promptness in lining up of the locals held them down to one touchdown, the goal being missed. The two Paterson boys-Captain aPterson of the Athletic Club and his brother who made such a reputation at Auburn during the past sea son-played star games. as did Noble Billing, the two Elmores, etc. Billing made a fifty-yard run, but was tackled just before he got over the line. the tackling being done by a half-breed ln- dian, who is said to have had more speed than an American Derby winner. The local boys are enthusiastic over the courtesy of the Barancas team ana tne Pensacola people in general The at1 tendance at the game was good dedI over 1000, and 1t was a big success from 1 the box office/ point of view ana lhe sport itself.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT
PROTEST AGAINST DELAY IN
 MAIL DELIVERY.
Letter Received at Postofice Decem- Der II, Delivered on 26th, Says
 c. s. Hinkley-Relief is Demanded.

c. s. Hinkley, Montgomery agent of the American Lumber and Manufacturing Company, has further complaint against the service of the Montgomery postoff1ce than the failure to distribute late mails at night. MT. Hinkley says that the clerical force of the office is Incompetent and suggests that the business men of Montgomery should petition the Post office Department for immediate relief.
 Representing his company, MT. <IIink- ley yesterday provided The Advertiser with the following signed statement:
 We are pleased to note the efforts The Advertiser is making in regard to having the postoffice department in this city handled in accordance with the pos tai regulations. We regret that you did not publish enough of our letter to the department at Washington to show. that there is more than one thing that should be remedied.
 The postmaster in his letter to your paper this morning states that 1t is the fault of trains being late. Delayed trains have nothing whatever to do with our complaint. Our trouble Is entirely the fault of incompetent help in the office. We have received at least a dozen let ters. which according to their time stamp were received on time one day. and which were not put into our box until from twelve to twenty-four hours after wards. We are also continually finding letters for other people in our box. We also learn that a number of letters mail VAA%OS O~~fN W destination in such a roundabout way as to cause a delay of from one to five days.
 Anyone who will stand in the corridor of the postoffice and watch how the mail is handled on the inside could very soon substantiate where the trouble is. and learn of other postal regulations that are entirely disregarded.
 We think that a petition from the business men of this city should be sent to the Postmaster General. and de- mand made that these matters be strengthened out immediately.
 We trust that you will continue your efforts in this direction until the fault is corrected"
 In substantiation of his complaint con corning delay in the delivery of mails by the Montgomery postoffice, MT. Hink- ley produced an envelope bearing the Pensacola, Fla, postmark under date or December 10 10 D. m. On the reverse side of the envelope Is the stamp of the Mont gomery postoffice showing that the letter was received in this city at a. m, De- cember II. This letter MT. Hinkley de- clares was delivered to his office on yesterday, just fifteen days after its re- ceipt by the Montgomery postoffice.

Uriah Porter, neigh bor of Fincher's, the two men having had a difficulty some time during yester- day. Porter has left the neighborhood, and his whereaoouts is-at.-present un., known. A party was organized and started in pursuit of him.
 From man who came to the city this morning to have message sent to rel atives for Mrs. Fincher. tho following
 Some time yesterday Porter went to the house of a Mrs. Becker, a widow lady who lives about a quarter of a mile from Fincher's, and 1t Is said he came very disorderly, cursing and using violent language. A negro man employed on the place tried to quiet him when he drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the negro. The negro took the pistol away from him and Mrs. Becker sent word to MT. Fincher to come to her aid. Fincher went to the house and he and Porter engaged in quarrel and came to blows, Porter finally leaving and NCuBCallSC Oi SAyAaAS that he would kill him next. He then went off and Fincher returned to his store.
 About o'clock yesterday evening Por, ter wen> to the store of Fincher and as soon as he laid eyes on the store keeper he began shooting at him. Mrs. Claude Fincher, wife of Mir. Fincher, stated to your corr espondent that she saw Porter fire the fatal shot, and that he afterwards began to shoot at the house. the bullets from his gun flying in every direction. and causing the whole family to leave home and take refuge at a neighbor's house, Mrs. Fincher going to Mir. Fuller's and remaining there until this morning, when she returned home.
 After doing the killing and running the family of MT. Fincher away from home, Porter is said to have gone to Mrs. Beckler's and fired several shots at her house, creating conSternatiOn there and running every member of the family of the place. He then disappeared and had not been seen up to Il o'clock today, when the last messenger came In from the scene of the tragedy.
 Some time previous to the affair men, tioned above, Fincher and Porter are said to have had trouble about some land. but 1t is said that matter had been amicably settled and Porter had been employed by Ffncher to act as his agent next year. MT. Fincher leave& a wife and children, and was thrifty hard working man who stood well among his neighbors. So far as can be learned there is nothing against Porter's record until this affair occurred.

1.-TWO WARS"
A Good Book by a Participant in
 Both,


 The Confederate Veteran, published e.d at Nashville, Tenn. has published TWO Wars" by Gen. s. G. French. who was a. soldier in the Mexican war and Tn the great war of 1S6l-65. He was grad, uate of West Point in a class which turned out many distinguished Soldiers and his "reminiscences of cadet lire are exceedingly interesting and readable South came on he promptly sided with the South and was one of it's most vail ant defenders. Of this book Rev. J; Wm; Jones. Chaplain General of the United Confederate Veterans, says
 Accepting the situation at the close or the war. he indulges in no bitter mem ories of stormy past but he does not cringe nor crawl. ''eat dirt nor make any apologies for the heroic struggle made by the Cpnfederacy for the ma lienable right" of self-government.
 "A vein of keen wit, quiet humor, and latent satire runs all through the book; making it exceedingly readable. and when one begins it he will not lay 1t aside until 1t is finished. In word, We his charming book, and hope that 1t may have a wide circulation, especially among Confederate Veterans and the sons and daughters of Confederates.
 Gen Clement A. Evans, Atlanta, Ga, says: "No war book 1as entertained me more than yours. 1t is singularly adapt ed to interest the reader as well as in- struct him. I was surprised to find that such a multitude of facts on such va riety of military experiences, popular customs, national issues. and individual characteristics could be comprehended in one volume covering the time of nearly a whole generation"
 Gen. stephen D. Lee. Columbus. Miss, says: T have read with great interest the autobiography of Gen. s. G. French. It is one of the most interesting books gotten out since the war between the States Tho reminiscent and narrative style is peculiarly stractive. and the va- ried and new coloring of events in the Mexican war, civil war, and reconstruc- tion period renders the book most val uable addition to any library. As book of reference on many valuable statistics and facts I esteem it most highly, and cordially recommend 1t to the reading public"
 This book richly merits all the oood things said of t General French has resided in Florida most of the time since the close of the war in 1865.

SECRETARY'S EXPENSES
w. F. HERBERT CoRRECTS ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.
He Says Secretary Julian of Consti- tutional Convention Did Not
 Actually Receive Money
 Shown by Auditors Report

In an interview last night William F. Herbert of Montgomery, Assistant Sec ietary of the late Constitutional Con- of the cost of the Convention by The Advertiser had done Frank N. Julian, Secretary of the body, an unintentional injustice.
 "The Advertiser was technically cor rect" said MT. Herbert, lin stating that the Auditors report shows that twenty clerks were on the pay roll of the See- retarys department in order to show, however, that MT. Julian did not en- ploy clerks with reckless disregard for expense, it seems to mo, as Assistant Secretary of the Convention, I should point out that these clerks were not all employed at any one time. There was never more than eleven clerks oil the pay roll of our departmnt for any one time and towards the close of the ses- sion we reduced this number to eight. The rule followed by MT. Julian was to employ extra help as was needed and We frequently had to press into service department clerks about the Capitol. By reference to the Auditors report it will be observed that some of the clerks who were charged to the expense account of the Secretary did not work more than two or three days.
 Tn the same article 1t was stated by The Advertiser that Secretary Julian received $63O as salary $20O for work dur ing the recess and $500 additional for filing and arranging the papers of the Convention, making a total of $1, ,S30 paid to Mir. Julian l admit the Auditor s report shows that these amounts were paid to MT. Julian but in order that he should be placed in a proper light before the people of the State the statement should be made that the S2OO drawn from the Treasury by MT. Julian dur ing the recess was paid to his clerical force and he did lot receive one cent of the moneN notwithstanding he re- mained in Montgomery during the recess and gave the work his personal atten- ton"
