THE FAST MAIL.
Through Rural Free Delivery 1t Has,
 tens Distributfon of Letters

tens Distribution of Letters
 Washington, April 1S.-(Special.)- The appropriation for the fast mail between New York and New Orleans caused considerable debate last week in Congress.
 MT. Richardson of Alabama made one of the ablest speeches for the bill. He favored it. he said, because the fast mail train enables the people of the South and Southwest to get their mail several hours earlier than they other wise would. The appropriation. he de- clared:
 ''It is donation to the people for their interests and for the public good. Why do these railroads desire to hold 1t? It is an advertisement for the Southern Road. It associates them with the power and the privileges of the government I have shown you the figures that show that this 97 train, that gives Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana all these great benefits. actually runs and earns less than any other regular train over this 1000 miles of railroad. Trains stand at Atlanta and other points awaiting the arrival of train 97-the fast mail--and at once leave in different directions carrying mail to the people at distant points fourteen to twenty hours ear lleT than tuey WOulu OtneTWlbc Set It, At Montgomery and Mobile the same thing occurs. and yet 'tis facetiously. yea luridly denounced a subsidy" an octopus, robbing the Treasury.
 The time was, not long since, when there was a vociferous denunciation in the South of Federal aid in the way of internal improvements. But the South, Mir. Chairman. happily is passing away from those feelings and views. Where are the gentlemen who today will stand up here and denounce Feder- al aid of internal Improvements? Here we come before you and ask you simply and plainly that out of bill that car ries $190.O00.O00 there be paid the sum of $142,000 to aid the people in disseminating useful knowledge and assisting the business men of that section
 This train capacities the delivery of mail from twelve to twenty hours. Collaterally. 1t carries it's benefits a hundred miles away from the trunk line, which Is paid. It Is of great ad- vantage to the towns hundred miles away from the trunk line. Through free rural delivery this fast mail reach. es thousands of the masses of the peo- pie and gives them the benefit of their papers and letters many hours in ad- vance.

A nonresident license hunting tax, preventing the sale or shipment of game. preventing the talk ing of game except by shooting and the catching of fish except with hook a shorter open season and preventing the wanton destruction of song and insectivorous birds.

McCurdy and Lewis McCurdy. There may have been deals in recent years in which the owners of the cotton realized more money, but cotton men of Montgomery believe that this was the largest single lot or cotton sold in Montgomery in a decade or more.
 The cotton bought from the McCur- dy's coupled with lot of 2z6 bales purchased by the Fisk Company day or two previously aggregates 1,6sS bales, the proceeds of which combined is a record breaker.
 ". D. and Lewis McCurdy of Lown- desboro received il 3-S cents for their cotton. a price generally regarded as very good. The McCurdy cotton was above the average in weight. possibly running from 5l5 to 52o pounds per bale. The entire McCurdy lot, there fore, will net approximately 3S7,00o. The cotton was stored with the Roman Cotton Company. The Fisk Company yesterday started to taking the staple out of the warehouse and the exact figures, which the cotton will net. will not be known until every bale is weighed.
