FREE RURAL DELIVERY
THE FUNDS ARE NOW ABOUT
 EXHAUsTED.
When Bill Now Pending Passes, De partment Will Send m Agent to, Montgomery-commercial and
 Industrial Association Work.

The next meeting of the Commercial and Industrial Association will occur on Tuesday night the 18th inst. This is the April meeting of the Association, and this active organization will have. much to report of it's work during the past thirty days. A large number of the com mittees have been engaged on special work of which report will be made on Tuesday night.
 The Association is much interested in the establishment in Montgomery County of rural free delivery service. and some months ago took the matter up with the postoff1ce department through Congress- man A. A. Wiley. filing applications and descriptions of routes. The rural free de- livery division of the postoffice depart ment is. however. somewhat handicapped in the prosecution of its work by reason Of the fact that the funds upon which the division has been operating are now about exhausted. The General Superin- tendent of the department says that little will be done toward the further establish ment of these routes until the bill now pending before the Senate. making a pro- vision for this work, has finally passed that body. Immediately thereafter an agent will be sent to Alabama to take up the ests blishment of routes at the capital county.
 K The Committed on Insurance of the Commercial and Industrial Association will hold a meeting Friday afternoon at { o'clock. The committee is composed of Messrs. F.. J. Meyer. chairman: c. I, Campbell. A. M. Cassimus. G. F. Emer- son. S. E. Hircher, w. IT. Micou. Jr.. Gus Rice. F. A. Travis. A. P. Tyson and j.. S. Wilcox

How a Congressman
 Lost His Clothes.
(By Thad Adams.)

They were going to Norfolk, pleas ant party of Atlanta gentlemen, ana were in the private car oi certain prominent railway official; This car vas @ the rear one on the SSuthern tram, 1No' 70, bound for Washington.
 The party was having jolly tune ana was being entertained royalty oy our fost the railroad magnate Just peIore of poker was proposed. Some one Of the party proposed that Congressman B. of Mississippi, who was in the next car be invited to join in the game. The distinguished statesman was en route to Washington. and hoping to get full nights sleep before arriving there, had retired early. But when he received tne invitation to join the merry party or players, he promptly accepted.
 The night was warm and there being no ladies in the car to which he had been invited. he agred to the plan sug- gested by the gentlemen who came t9 his bsrtfr to bring the invitation, and went to their car wearing only his night attire, leaving his other clothing III his berth.
 The game was soon begun in earnest and grew in interest as 1t progressed. The train reached Charlotte at p. m. but the players were too busily engaged to take heed of the fact and played on with increased enthusiasm. The private car was soon attached to the section going to Norfolk and was speeding to its destination, and the host and guests played on. Time and distance count for naught when one is in so pleasant car with so pleasant a party and indulging in so pleasant a game of poker. Again and again were the cards dealt and played and the wine glasses refilled and emptied to toasts that vied with the fluid in sparkling color. The open day light streaming in at the windows re roinded tho players that the night was spent. Just then Norfolk was announced The honorable gentleman from Missis- sippi not needing the words of the DOT ter. supposed that he had reached Wash ington and hastened to the next car to dress. and holy horrors, He found him. self in a day coach filled with ladies.
 It then dawned upon him that the car in which he had been reveling had been attached to another section at Charlotte. and that he was in Norfolk while his clothes were in Washington.

It is impossible to predict with any accuracy the duration of mining in the Witwatersrand district by reason, of the indeterminate fac tor of the rate at which exploitation will be carried on, says John Hays Hammond in the New England Engi- neering Magazine It may be ob- served, however, that the tendency IS to exploit the auriferous areas as rap idly as possible, and that engineering methods are all adopted with that end in view. If the exploitation of the deeper levels is not delayed pending the proving of the ground lying above, but is carried on concurrently with the exploitation of the higher horizons of the reefs, the industrial life of the dis trict will, of course, be corresponding Iy shortened. The working of lower grade ores, made possible by improved economic conditions or other circum- stances, would tend to increased long evity of the industry. But, were l called upon to express an opinion, l would estimate the future duration of profitable operations on a large scale in the district at less, rather than more, than p years.

A humane individual in Washington says that every friend of the brute creation should promptly forward to his or her senator and representative an emphatic protest against the bill recently reported by the house commit te on commerce and which has for it's object the extension of the period for which cattle i'll transit may be kept without rest, food or water from 2S hours to 40 hours. The suffering which will be occasioned these dumb creatures by the passage of the law is appalling. There is a whole lot of of cruelty to the horse which is not caused by locking the animal in a car. In Waterbury just at present a number of the animals can be seen on the streets and it seems as if they would drop from exhaustion. Some drivers load up their wagons to the extreme limit, and then apply the whip to make the horses do the work.
