Close Of Subscription,
June 10th.

The subscriptions to this company's
stock have been most satisfactory, and
but few shares remain to be sold at
the present price of $500 per share.
As the term Of subscription set by the
directors for this issue expires June
10th, we can offer no more stock at
$500 after that date; and as all treass,
ury stock is held in trust until January,
1st, Nineteen Hundred and FIVE, and
all stock outside Of the treasury stock
until January LIST, Nineteen Hundred
and EIGHT, there will be none on the
market at this figure again. The stock
is iptrinsically worth more than this to-
day, and any offerings after June 10th
will be only at an advanced price.
The continued growth of the COM
pany's business, with corresponding in
crease in its already large earnings, is
assured by the steadily accommodating or.
ders for the Doyle products, giving the
investment 4 substantial commercial
basis.

FIRST RURAL DELIVERY.

In view of the recent disclosures in the Postofflce Department, says The WasE- ington Post it is an interesting fact that the idea of the rural free delivery was originated as far back as the admins tration of Martin Van Buren, and that the route was between Washington and Milledgeville. Ga The originator of the idea was a prominent young attorney practicing at Culpepper Court House, Va named William Smith He became inter ested in the scheme. and soon grew 10 he an extensive mail contractor.

PRESS CoRREcTs ERROR.
Judge Jones's Opinion Misconstrued
 By Correspondent.

By Correspondent.
 The day correspondent of the Associated Press in Montgomery misconstruSd the opinion rendered Monday by Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States Circuit Court concerning peonage and sent out an erroneous statement which was published in newspapers throughout the country.
 At the request of Judge Jones the night correspondent of the Ass ociated Press who works in connection win The Adver- tiser, sent the following correction:
 ''The report sent out from here yester- day to the effect that Judge Jones advised the Federal Grand Jury. that persons con victed of misdemeanors, whose sureties confessed judgment for them. could not restrain or work them, without violating the statute against peonage, is entirely in- correct.
 He advised diectly Sthe reverse, and held that such persons, having been duly convicted of crime. their involuntary ser vitude, was lawful, if the sureties coIn- piled with the State law, by having the contract made in open court with writ ten approval of the judge.
 ''The law which he advised the jury was unconstitutional, is the renters or laborers law of 1901, which punishes the laborer or renter. 1T ne gets Work elseWhere. after breaking his contract, without in- forming about 1t, and also pInishes any person, who employees the laborer or renter, after knowledge that he has left his first employer. This latter statue was held to amount to Imprisonment for debt, class legislation. denial of the equal protection of law to croppers and laborers and also violating United States statutes against peonage; by coercing personal ser vice for payment of a debt"
 The Advertiser, of course, published the opinion and all references to 1t correctly.

 The games were much closer and more hotly contested than the first night and the play much cleaner and quicker. Ira wis let Ivey's team down with but one lone hit but errors by his catcher let strikeouts result in life on base and i've runs came in in the fourth inning. The game between Alleys and Goins's was a more spirited cotnest and both teams hit and fielded well. Poor judgment on the bases lost the game for Alley.
