Two or three Princeton bad boys
visited Lineville last Sunday and during
the evening met some Lineyille bad
boys on the south side of the line and
the inevitable scrap resulted. A Prince
ton boy drew gun which was loaded
with powder and lead and fred it off in
the air, whereupon the dangerous weap-
on was taken from him by Lineyille
boy for fear he might shoot some one by
accident, and his head punched a few
times for being so fresh. The Princeton
boys begged for time and promised to
go right home if the Lineyille boys
would let up on them, and truce was
agreed to and the trouble settled. 1t is
very bad practice for boys to fight,
but if they must fight we always want
our boys to whip.-Lineville Tribune.

Washington, Nov 1S.-Postmaster
'eneral Payne's annual report will be
a notable document It will mark a
long stride in advance in the direc-
ton of popularizing the postal service.
1t will be optimistic in tone and will
show from statistics that every reduc-

deficiency. has ultimately resulted in
such volume of business that de.

The most important recommends
ton will be a. two-cent postal rate be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
France and Germany.
The postmaster general believes
that this is entirely feasible. He has
talked with the representatives OF
foreign commercial bodies now in
this country and has learned that all
OF them favor such a reduction. At
the dinner given at the Arlington no.

Great Britain. France and Germany
have been selected because they have
direct steamship communication with
the United States and because they
represent 60 per cent Of the foreign
mail and over 10 per cent Of other
foreign postal matter.

that the proposed reductions will help
to draw the United States into closer

Washington, Nov. 18.-A census bu-

should be protected from made-to-

There was slump in the cotton
market Saturday. The price of cot

sales as far ahead as next August. 1t
dropped at time when nearly half
Of the cotton was in the hands Of the
planters and when foreign buyers were
busy getting in supplies or establish
Ing prices at which they can call In

''The cause for this drop In price
was a report from a Memphis prognos-

rational reason for the drop In price.
because It would show that the crop

' "This event in Wall street shows the
