themselves before breakfast with Wip-
ing off deck and sails, but on the Col

the mainsall and opened that up to get
the dampness out of it, 1t was very
evident that Mr.. Morgan and Capt. Barr
were going to be ready for an early start
The Shamrocks sailors in the mean
time were leisurely breakfasting aboard
the Porto Rico. After breakfast they
went aboard the Shamrock and began
the work of preparation. The shamrock

with the Shamrock n trihe ahead and
apparently to the windward.
They were both on the stsrboard tack

was fine one. the Shamrock heading
for the line closehauled. while the Col
umbia ran along the line and crossed her
bow. taking UP position on the foreigners

The fog had burned away at sunrise
before the crews of the rival yachts were
at work. Captain Barr was early aboard
the Columbia and he was among those
who cheerfully predicted good sailing
breeze.

ing to the fieecy clouds in the northeast.

WAS IT A JOKE?

A sensational and very mysteri-
GUS affair occurred in this city at an
early hour Sunday morning, the
particulars Of which disclose either
the thwarting Of a bold attempt to
rob the Bank Of Huntingdon or an
effort at a practical joke on the part
of someone, says a Huntingdon
special to the Nashville Banner.
Vance J. Higgs, a young attorney
Of this city, has been sleeping at
the bank and states that he was
awakened about3 o'clock yesterday
morning by noises in the rear of
the bank. He arose and dressed
himself, and securing a revolver, he
began an investigation. As he APP
preached the door a shot was fred
through a rear window, the ball
burying itself in the wall uncom-
fortably close to Mr.. Higgs. He
hurriedly made his exit out the
front door, falling down the step:
in his haste to get away. Mr.
Higgs then started across the
square to Hotel Olive in search OIL
help, and two shots were fired al
him as he ran. An investigation

DRY of Soy. L. j. Leland.

The order of Woodmen Of the
World of Camden on last Sunday,
at 2 o'clock, p. M, unveiled the
beautiful monument erected to the
memory Of Soy. Louis Jay Leland,
deceased.
The ritualistic ceremonies were
beautiful and impressive. Profess
sor King, South African War Lect-
urer, made a few remarks eulogist-
ic of the dead sovereign.
Mayor Tom @. Rye also made an
address commenting and showing
the nobility Of the deceased sover-
eign.
Sovereign Leland was the organ
izer Of Post Oak Camp, No AZ,
Woodmen Of the World, and at the
time of his death, which occurred
in Iloilo, Philippine Islands, was a
member Of that camp.
The members met in the forest
and accompanied by the Claude
Hudson Concert Band, marched tc
the cemetery where there was quite
large crowd in waiting. The day
was very beautiful and pleasant.
B. F. Brown had his camera OF
the ground and photographs were
taken of the monument, and the
Woodmen of the World and also
of the band.

Mr.. Higgs Nothing was molested
at the bank. The shots were heard
by others and the holes in the win
dow and wall show for themselves.
On the whole the affair is a very
mysterious one. A rather peculiar
feature of the occurrence is the fact
that when Mr.. Higgs appeared at
Hotel Olive at 3.O5 a. IN. he was
fully attired, even to a standing
collar, tie and carefully brushed
hair, which give the occurrence the
air of joke. Just where the joke
comes in is not plain. Mr.. Riggs
is a young man Of unquestioned
veracity, and the citizens are at a
loss to understand the cause Of the
mysterious pistol shots.

AS TO WHISKY.
Express Company VIII Handle No More

hNpress company VIII Handle No More
in sc. o. d. Way.
Nashville. American
The local office of the Southern
Express Company has received or
ders to decline all C. o. d. ship
ments from this date. No expla-
nation Of the causes leading up to
the order is given, but the nature
of it is to prevent any persons from
points out Of the city from having
whisky sent to them without send
ing the cash in advance.
twill be remembered that Judge
Clark in the United States circuit
court recently decided that the
whisky was sold, or the trade made,
where the money was passed. This
would cause all c. o. d. whisky sales
to be made in the various places
whence the orders emanated.
When the order of towns with
stringent liquor laws is contem-
plated it will be seen at once that
c. o. d. shipments Of whisky would
lay the express company open 10
constant indictments for sales Of
whisky, in a legal sense, at the
various Offices in the State. The
person or company that delivers
whisky in exchange for money is
legally the seller of the article. Tt
is therefore necessary, to avoid
trouble, that the express companies
should not so deliver such goods at
their Offices in the various towns Of
the State.
