Thursday afternoon the gladstone

between the Great Lakes and the Ohio,
and the Titanic struggle for suprem-
acy in the two great leagues for the
season Of 1907 was on.

In only one city was the opening

In New York the Giants got into a

The Athletics and Bostons pulled off
the prize stunt of the day by playing
fourteen innings before the Boston
team finally won out, 8 to 4.
At Cincinnati, notwithstanding the
cold weather and the traces of snow
which still remained, the Cincinnati
team broke all precedents by winning
the opening game, the Pirates being

yearning, the command to play was
given.

1t is reported from Chicago that the
Pennsylvania railroad, in addition TO a
10 per cent increase in wages, has made
arrangements to increase the pension
fund from $4,000 to 100000.
The annual report Of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company Of New York
City shows that during 1906 the number
Of passengers carried Oh the subway and
elevated roads was 420, 3o2,39S, an in
crease of 100000 over the preceding
rear.
In the United States Circuit Court at
Montgomery, Ala, the railroads operated
within the State brought suit TO prevent
the execution Of certain laws passed by
the Legislature fixing freight rates and re-
ducing passenger rates TO cents mile.
II is alleged that these rates would be
confscatory, and that they force service
FOR which no adequate return is made.
A special committee Of the Pennsylva-
MA rpilroad management has reported IN
favor of comprehensive plan 10 substi-
tute ali steel for wooden passenger cars
pp the entire system within the next three
renrs, and il is proposed TO buy and coz
Strucr 1893 all-steel passenger cars,
which will make 4 complete change In
al existing standards Of passenger equip
ment. The cost of an R1l-steel car, sneh
as is contemplated, is $4,000, or about
twice that Of the present wooden ear.
This will make the new equipment bill
rome 10 about S30.oo00o0. The plan is
to have the steel cars for every train
which viii be operated into the New York
tunnel terminal, beginning with 1909. At
the same time the Pullman company viii
be required TO provide 800 steel sleeping
and pariDr ears, al a cost Of $4,000 each.
Ii appears that tbs tunnel viii be oper-
ated by such high voltage electric power
as TO make the use Of wooden cars dam
yerous.

Why You Don t Get Your PAPER.

Perhaps it is natural that our patrons should
take it for granted that the Jeffersonian is to
blame when it fails to reach them, regularly.
1t by no means follows that the presumption
is justified by the facts.
The mailing list of the Jeffersonan is set
up in type. These mailing galleys," as they
are called, remain "set up" all the time. The
name of a subscriber after it goes into the
galley, cannot possibly get out.
The mailing is done by machinery. Each
name in the galley is clipped off from printed
slip, which carries faithful imprint of the
names in the galley.
Now, the mailing machine may sometimes
be carelessly handled, and the names may be
split in two; or the P. O. address may be
clipped in such way that the name of the
subscriber will appear on the wrapper without
the p. o. address
To illustrate how trouble may be caused at
this poinr:
DR.. E. S. Harrison is on the mailing list
at Thomson, Ga. Of course, his name should
be clipped off straight; but happened to no.
