thoroughfares, flower gardens and
walks which the railroad maintains.
The American colony is, therefore,
able to live in comfort; but the women
of that colony, few in number as they
are, cling to the ridiculous social dis
tinctions common up North. 1t would
be supposed that women thrown to-
gether in remote corner of the earth
as these are would meet upon a COM
mon plane for social intercourse. But
they do nothing of the kind. They all
attend the Episcopal Church, which
the railroad supports in it's section of
Colon; they all meet about the hotel
where the railroad company furnishes
board for the entire colony at a low
price. but it is fact that among these
women social lines are drawn.
A brakeman's wife is not, for in
stance, upon the same social level as
is the wife of passenger conductor,
while the latter is slightly lower in the
scale than is the wife of a salaried Of
tice employe. This distinction goes
through the whole fabric of the Ameri-
can colony, creating little cliques, too
small for real social intercourse. Its
effect is to entirely destroy social re-
lationship in a place where the re-
spectacle white population numbers
hardly more than 300 souls; where do
mestic duties are practically unknown
by reason OF enforced simplicity in the
homes, and the practice of all employees
dining at the hotel, and where the
town offers absolutely nothing in the
way OF entertainment or diVertise-
ment-no clubs, no theaters, no charity
work, no lectures; nothing, in fact,
that these women were wont to enjoy
before they came to this land of bugs
buzzards and naked babies.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF POSTMASTER GENERAL
Summary of Salient Features of the Departments
Years Work

Washington, Jan. 1o.-The annual
report of Postmaster General H. c.
Payne does not go into details re-
specting the postal frauds investiga-
ton, with respect to which a special
report has been made by Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow
Mr.. Payne, however, summarizes the
matter thus: "On March Z, 1908, am in
vestigation was ordered affecting the
integrity of certain officials connected
with the office of the assistant attor-
ney general for the Postoffice Depart
ment, the division Of postofiice sup
plies, the free delivery system, and the
division of salaries and allowances.
The investigation begun at that time
had not been concluded at the close of
the fiscal year. More than forty in
spectors were detailed for this work.
AS a result of the investigation, sew
enteen officials were separated from
the service by resignation or removal.
Forty-four indictments were found
and thirty-one persons arrested. ten
of whom had been connected with the
postal service"
Increased Deficit.
The receipts and expenditures of
the postal service for the fiscal year
were as follows:
19O2-Ordinary postal revenue. $119,-
$685. 40.
Receipts from money-order business,
81, SS9, S17.S6.
Total receipts from all sources,
$121, S4S, O47 20.
Total expenditures for the year,
$124, 7S5, 697.O7.
1903-Ordinary postal revenue. $751;
9S4, $500
Receipts from money-order business,
81, 239 90S.24.
Total receipts from all sources,
$134,224, 44324.
Total expenditures for the year,
1888, 7S4, 4S7.97.
Excess of expenditures over receipts,
S4,560 044.73.
An increase in the deficit over the
previous year of $1,622, 1852, which is,
however s1,042,1S3 less than the esti-
mated deficit for the year. The esti-
mates for 1904 call for a congressional
appropriation of $153,511, $40. The esti-
mated receipts are 146,3O4.642, which
will leave an estimated deficiency of
little more than 100000.
Postal Checks.
The rapid extension Of the rural free
delivery service increases the demand
that the government shall provide some
easy, convenient and safe method for
the transmission of small sums of
money through the mails. The Post
master General urges upon Congress
the Importance of passing some law
which will insure to our people this
advantage at as early date as posi-
BILE. AS the rural free delivery service
has been extended the number of let
tiers carrying small amounts of cur
rency has greatly increased At pres
ent there is no convenient method pro-
vided in the rural districts for making
such remittances through the mails
except in currency or postage stamps,
and such currency and stamp remit
tances are a constant temptation to
those handling them.

TO COMBINE UNIONS.
Important Question Is to He Con-
sidered at Trenton.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 10.-Two impor.
tant international labor unions will,
open their annual conventions here
tomorrow. One is the Bricklayers' and
Masons' International Union and the
other is the International Hod Carriers
and Building Laborers' Union. About
400 delegates will attend the first
named convention and about 100 dele
gates the hod carriers convention. The
masons' convention is expected to be
in session for at least two weeks and
the bod carriers for several days.
The most important matter that will
come before both conventions will be
the proposition to affiliate with the
Structural Traders Alliance, an or
ganization which is now in a formative
state, but which is intended to bring
about federation of the basic trades
engaged in building. This alliance will
include ten trades in all, among which
will be, besides the masons and bod
carriers, carpenters, painters plumb
ers, structural iron workers, steam
filters, tinsmiths and others
President George b. Gubbins of the
Bricklayers' and Masons' International
Union, said that such an alliance
would be a great benefit to both en-
ployers and employees. Its purpose, he
said, was to provide a means of do
ing away with the strikes that result
from petty grievances and that are Of
ten the result of conflicts between men
Of different unions engaged in work
on the same building. The matter OF
affiliation is now being voted upon and
1t is generally believed the proposition
of utilization will receive an affirmative
vote.
At the masons' convention announce
ment will be made of the referendum
vote that has been taken among the
subordinate organizations on the ques-
ton of the affiliation of the interna-
tional union with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. 1t is understood
that this proposition has been defeat
ed, although the subordinate organiza-
lions are privileged to exercise their
discretion in the matter of their az
filiation with the federation.

THE CLOTH MARKET.
Fluctuations in Cotton Continues to
Hamper the Business.

Manchester, Jan. 1O.--The extreme
fluctuations in cotton continue to ham
per business seriously. The present
price is merely considered an artificial
one and this fact, coupled with the
violent variations, destroys confidence.
Consequently, buyers confine their
purchases to what they deem abso-
luteIy necessary. The consumption will
be considerably reduced, whether or
not concerted action be taken. III

Hon. Ben Il. Russell.

cambridge, Ca, Jan. 10.-Hon. Ben
e. Russell, ex-congressman from this
district, after having the matter un-
der consideration. for some time, has at
last decided to write a history of De-
catur county and publish same in book
form. Beginning when the county was
first settled, he will relate the expe-
riences of the early settlers, the disad-
Vantages they had during the Indian
wars in Florida and during the Civil
War, down to the present time.
Decatur county at present has the
record of being the best section in
the world for raising tobacco, sugar
cane, watermelons and other products
that will make the farmers wealthy
with the proper care and economy.
There is no one better fitted to write
this history than Mr.. Russell, as he
has lived here the greater portion of
his life, and went to the war of 1904
from this county, serving the Confed-
eracy for four long years.

Fnrm Machinery For Alaska.

\ Seattle firm has received an order
from Rampant, Alaska, for a moving
machine and horse hayrake. This is
said to be the first order of the kind
that has ever come from western Alas
ka and appears to offer proof that the
Land of the Midnight Sun has other re-
sources than gold and fish, says the
Portland Oregunian. The order for
the machine came from pack train
operator who has spent seven years in
the country and evidently knows what
it is capable of. Western Alaska is
too close TO the arctic circle for very
long summers, but the days are so
long and warm that cereals and grasses
are said to mature much quicker than
in ATTITUDES farther south. Farming
may never become an industry of very
great Importance IN Alaska, but as the
country develops on other lines. there
will be a demand for agricultural prod
ucts which may make their culture
even under adverse circumstances quite
