The CAROLINA WATCHMAN.

lHE CAROLINA w ATCHMAN,
Mr.. Editor.-I have noticed a
mistake in the Verble correspon-
dence which I wish to correct, if
you will permit me space in your
paper,
At the close of school at
Gheen's, they challenged the
Springfield team for a game of
ball, which was accepted and a
very nice game had. It went on
very slow until the seventh inning
which was due to Springfield,
Night closed the game which
there was no use to finish for the
score stood 8 to % in favor of
Springfield. The Garrett boys
formed the battery and the Shoals
were the support of two innings.
Fred Garrett, from the Hannah g
place, about six miles from Sails
bury, who stood in the box and
shut the boys out for several in
nings. The Gheen boys were very
badly disappointed. They had
all the visiting support that they
could get, from including old
players from Franklin and from
Halls school house.

Senator 0verman's Bill With Referance to
the Cotton Trade in the Orient.

Senator Overman held confer
ence with the Secretary of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
today, the result of which is of i'm
portance to the Southern States
generally. A final agreement was
reached respecting Senator Over
mans bill designed to extend the
cotton trade in the Orient. Under
the revised bill it is proposed to
appoint commission of five ex.
perts, whose labors to extend the
cotton trade will be under the di-
rect supervision of the depart
ment. Some of these commission
ers or agents will make trips abroad
and display of cotton goods, de-
signed for export, will be made in
all cotton manufacturing centers
in Southern and New England
States, while agencies are to be
established where information will
be given as to trade conditions
and the kind Of goods being pur-
chased in the various markets Of
the world. It is thought the sub
committee to which this was re-
felred will agree to this substitute
and that it will be reported favor
ably at an early date, The con-
sular agents will also be directed
to work in harmony with those
who are to be assigned to this
work.-Washington Dispatch, %.

Will the Southbound Railroad
be built? We don't know; but
the advance guard, so to speak,

that contracts for portions of the
work will be let out this week,
and corps of draughtsmen and
specialists have been drawing
specifications. Capt. Cornell
seems convinced that the railroad
will be built, and appearances
just now may be said to be exceed
ingly favorable to that end.

A. D. Kinney, a Confederate

had quite dangerous experience
recently and luckily escaped with
his life. He was crossing Flat
Swamp creek bridge when some
timbers gave way and precipated
horses, wagon and driver into the
creek Is feet below, where the
water is about four feet deep. Mr..
Kinney was thrown clear of the
wagon and timbers and SO escaped
unhurt, although completely SUBJ
merged. Some people went
quickly to Mr.. Kinney's assistance
and the team was gotten out
without much damage. It seems
nothing short of a miracle that
the driver and horses we're not
killed.

A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT

A. R. Burr, United States postoffice
inspector, is paying Indiana cities
and towns an official visit just at
present, and Richmond is said to be
on his official calendar. -
The purpose Of his visit is to noti-
fly various persons who have uncon-
sciously been guilty of violations of
the Unied States postal laws and it is
asserted that there will be victims
found in Richmond as well as in 9TH
er Indiana towns. The trouble
arises over the fad Of collecting to-
bacco labels and fads to get prizes
offered by the tobacco companies.
Under the existing postal laws
these tags can be mailed as second
class matter if no letter is placed in
the envelope with them. It appears
however, that fifty per cent of these
packages contain messages in addi-
ton to the collection of tags.
The government recently confscat-
ed much of this matter, found letters
in packages upon which second rate
postage was paid, and now inspectors
are out hunting down the person who
mailed them. A penalty of $40 is
provided by Uncle Sam and Inspec-
tor Burr is collecting this fee as he
goes.
