On last Saturday afternoon tw

On last Saturday afternoon two
cOlOred men passed our office
going up the street in a buggy,
considerably exceeding the speed
limit fixed by the city ordinance.
The hOrse-rather a good looking
animal had his own notions
about his gait and refused to obey
the lines till he coIldeG with the
mall cart near the corner of Jeffer-
son street. Then followed gen
eral mix up. When the dust
cleared away that buggy looked
more as though it had crossed the
track ahead of a lightning ex-
press train. The men, who were
from Morbihan, escaped without
injury.

Important Railway Invention.

What seems to me to be an i'm.
portant advance in railroad con.
StructiOn is a combined rail joint
and char recently patented by
Yves Arnandez, Jules &. Arnan.
dez and Charles L VOORHEES,. One
of the greatest difficulties con
fronting construction is to join the
rails so as to present practically
an unbroken rail to the wheels.
With the wear and tear of traffic,
the ends of the rails work apart
both on the surface and laterally.
The new invention completely en-.
cases the joint so that surface or
lateral play is rendered impossi-
bic. The invention seems to
mark an epoch in railroad con
struction. on.-Harlequin Nov. q.

OF INTEREST TO SHIPPERS.

Mr.. <. f. Millard,
Dear Sir: AS usual. we are e,
periencing much trouble in shil
ping our produce, sugar, cotton
etc. THIS deplorable condition
becoming more and more aggrs
waiting, because of the lack o
facility of shipping, causing muc1
dissatisfaction besides the risk in
Cured having to delay Shipment
longer than reasonably necessary
For instance, here at our gin W,
were made to sustain quite a los!
by having had a considerable lo
of cotton under bale and cottol
seed consumed by fire, just be
cause the shipment could not bt
made at a time, which, had il
been possible of doing, might
have spared this destruction of
property.
AS the next session of Congress
is soon to open, | think that all
interested parties, as well as the
community in general, should ex-
ert themselves in the direction of
seeking the opening of the Plaque
mine Locks at as early a date as
possible, benefit to which we are
all entitled, there being a necessi.
ty of providing in this direction
for the welfare Of this section and
others, of which we are aware.
Much might be accomplished by
addressing memorials to our Rep
resentative and Senators, and to
the proper officials under whose
supervision this improvement be-
longs, appealing to them for the
relief sought, in which the impor-
tance of speedy action may be
imp essed, to bring about the
realization of this much needed
passage for the facility of navi-
cation with its telling effects.
A form of petition should be
made out, which could be
used for the purpose of obtaining
as many signatures as may be had
IN approval of the interest shown
We are facing the necessity of re-
viving as much interest as pOssl-
ble; of reiteratlng our just claims
to this Improvement at as early a
date as can be had, thus deriving
a benefit in which the promoters
are well deserving of success III
in its achievement.
As a matter of fact, the lack of
being supplied with the facility of
those means Of transportation,
which would surely be furnished
we're we to be favored by this
passage, is Occasioning much
trouble, not only to myself, but to
many others, as well. Just i'm
agine: l have been begging the
50. Pac. r. Rd. officials to take
ny sugars for shipment on nearly
every trip Of their boats since
grinding began to no avail. They
llways find some fault; they seem

stacked too high and is difficult of
