M. & P. BANK AT
AUCTION SALE
Bank Building, Safe and Fixtures
Brought $I2,75o at Legal Sale
Sold to Local Capital Syndicate.

According TO court program the
Merchants and Planters bank build
ing on Poplar street was sold at pub
lie auction last Tuesday by Receives
w. p. Kretschmar, who conducted
the sale at the court house door.
Several bidders were present and
the ball was started at $II.ooo and
was raised to $I2,z5o by Mr.. VIM
Isenberg, representing a company OF
local capitalists, which bid was ac-
cepted. This company believes it
purchased the building at bargain,
and Receiver Krteschmar is satisfied
the bid was a good one, considering
the local conditions of the money
market
The building is good, staunch
one and compares favorably in archi-
tectural style with the other business
blocks on the street. Just what the
purchasers will do with it is a mat
ter of doubt, but it is generally be-
lieved that it was bought for specu-
lative purposes and is waiting for

THE LIMITATIONS OF
AFTERNOON JOURNALISM

1t is of course natural that those
who are interested in an afternoon
newspaper should be strenuous cham
pions of its excellence. Unquestion-
ably the afternoon newspaper has its
merits, and subserves a purpose. a
majority OF the people IN the civilized
world depend on the newspapers for
their reading matter. The leading al
terncon paper of Paris, lie Petit
Journal-that IS to say, the pape,
having the largest circulation-hardly
deserves the name of a newspaper.
Its popularity rests upon the feuille-
tons it publishes, not its news. The
New York Journal contains each day
an editorial by Brisbane, a poem or
article by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, two
or three pages of big headlines, some
humorous pictures and modicum OF
news
AS pointed out, the afternoon news
paper has its limitations. 1t is neees-
sarily behind on most of the news of
defect the intelligent manager of All
afternoon paper endeavors to give his
readers good departments and we'll
written articles The New York Even
ing Post and the Chicago News are
examples of what may be done to-
ward making an afternoon paper in
teresting.
The afternoon paper may get some
of the routine happenings abroad up
to O'Clock in the afternoon. The
San Francisco earthquake occurred
before breakfast, and the afternoon
press of course were able t. publish
bulletins and rumors and a partial
story about it. If it had occurred at
noon the chances are that he alter
noon press wo,ald have had nothing
about it.. Very few crimes or cata-
strophes are made known immediate
|ly. Consequently, unless they happen
pretty early in the morning, they are
apt to escape the afternoon journal.
This is of course not the fault of the
afternoon journal. but IS due to CIR
cumstances.
The happenings il other states and
countries up to nooA ought 70 BE fair

SCHEDULE

SOUTHERN RAILWAY BUNCH
ES ITS TRAIN ARRIVALS
New 'sthedii1eaw oTE ks s' fi.fFssif'asiiips OF;
Our Business Concerns And an Eff
fort VIII be Made to Get an Early
Morning Mail Train.

Beginning last Sunday the South
ern Railway put into operation a
change of schedule that is anything
but satisfactory to .our merchants
and business concerns. The only
train not changed IS the 10 O'Clock
morning local.
The Birmingham I O'Clock train has
been changed to arrive here at ? 80
p. M, and the 1875 p. IN. train now
arrives at 7:3o p m. The outgoing
trains have been changed to depart
at $40 a. m, and 4:45 p. m.
This change OF schedule does not
give our merchants time to fill or
ders received and ship out the same
day and an effort will be made to
make the morning local mail train
so that orders received by that mail
can be shipped back on the 4:4o even
ing train. 1t is believed that the
authorities will see the justice of this
demand and make change very
soon

The news abroad after noon belong:
almost exclusively to the morning
paper, which necessarily contains the
only complete account of what trans
pires in Congress.
i The local news appears first ordi-
narlly III the morning newspaper.
| We may admit that the days local
happenings up to o'clock may be
covered by an enterprising afternoon
| paper; ht,t from in the afternoon to
in the morning the morning paper
practically has the field pre-empted
Much of the court proceedings takes
Iplace in the afternoon. Marriage Ii
censes and real estate transfers are
chTonicled throughout the day. Nee
essarily the complete review of all
these things appears in the morning
paper. Coucil meetings, school board
meetings and political gatherings or
dinarily take place at night 1t is safe
to say that the afternoon paper of
today would not cover one-fourth of
the actual happenings of today.
The news from the neighboring
states is, of course, sighted by the af-
ternoon paper
Only the market reports of the day
are published in the afternoon paper
Of the day, and they are of course apt
to be inaccurate and incomplete. No
adequate review of the markets can
very we'll appear in the afternoon
paper.
Editorial matter, of coarse. is nor
news, and it need not be discussed.
Nearly all aaih7enn-erts take place
at night. There are thousands of peo-
pie in every city who take keen in
terest in theatrical affairs. They liks
to read -sead.. ...s.lAicisms of plays and
operas. They get these fresh in the

Summed up, then, the afternoon
paper is the paper Of today as to its
market reports; on the bulk OF tele-
graphic and local news it is the paper
of yesterday: on news from the sur
rounding states, it would be hattery
to call it the paper Of day before yes

that not one-tenth of the reading mat

To give me theirs on loan,
They don't just say it, but mean it:

Or come little late,
Then all is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry;

serious that he never rallied from the

Greenville Sanitarium
Capt. Harvey, in company with
! Mr. Carter Percy, of saltwater,
were on their way to Mr.. Harvey's
home to get some land maps. While
crossing Washington avenue near the
Goyer Co, some six or eight wagons
loaded with cotton were going by and
he and Mr.. Percy checked up to let
the first wagon by. Mr.. Percy passed
between the first and second wagon
and crossed the street,in safety Capt
Harvey waited until the second wag-
on went by and then started across
the street. At the same time an in
coming Washington avenue car, in
charge of Motorman r. p Rogers,
was close by. The driver OF the third
wagon did all in his powlr to warh
Capt Harvey Of his danger, but tire
noise and the traffic along the streel
and the high loads of cotton pre-
vented any view of the oncoming car

REBELLION In FRANCE.
CRAZE FEARS FOR SOUTH.
Leaders Urging People to Rise
Chamber SuStains Premier.

Paris June 1S.-The government appears To
have acted none too soon in determining TO set
the law in motion against the revolutionares in
the South of France The projects report the
beginning of efforts TO induce the people to rise
and three departments, the Aude Herault and
Pyrenees Orientales. are apparently approach
ing stage when aggressiveness will replace the
peace which has marked the movement
AdvIces from Narbonne Department Of the
Aude, to-day show that the situation there has
become worse. Dynamite has been discovered on
the railroads; in some cases the tracks have been
removed. the telegraph wires have been cut IN
order to delay the arrival of troops and the re-
belious villagers have been pulling up the pave
ments and collecting materials for barricades.
The announcement of the intention of the gov
ernment to arrest the leaders of the wine growers
movement promptly followed by general
rising of the countryside, with the object OF
making fierce resistance TO the government
forces.
In view of the threats of the population the
staff of the 10Th Army Corps held midnight
conference at Montpelier. and plans were MADE
to meet uprsings
The winegrowers' committee at Argeliers is
still outwardly counselling a strike with fold
ed arms" but the followers evidently are out OF
hand.
Summonses are out against all the members
OF the winegrowerS' committee on the charge OF
melting the people to revolt. and number OF
mayors will be prosecuted for attempting TO
overthrow the central government DetachmentS
of cavalry from the East their way TO
replace the local troops.
The action of the government led to lively
debate in the Chamber of Deputies this morn
ing. Premier Clemenceau refused TO agree TO
the immediate discussion Of an Interpolation on
the subject Of the governments plans, and de-
manded its postponement to Juno 21. He said
that ell means Of conciliation had now been
exhausted and that as chief Of the government,
he was bound TO enforce respect for the law.
The winegrowers' committee of Argeliers had
set up itself in place of the central government,
and three departments had engaged IN a revolt
against the country's law and were threatening
10 burn the houses OF mayors and others who
refused allegiance TO the committee. Sum-
monses had been issued for those responsible
for this state Of affairs. If the Chamber de-
feated the postponement Of the Interpolation,
he would Immediately countermand the prose
cutions. and the Chamber would be held
sponsble for the grave consequences. 1t was
his desire to avoid the threatened conflict.
After heated remarks from NJ. Jaures, the
Socialist leader. who said that the government
had brought the country to the verge Of civil
war NJ. Sarraut and Ribot came 10 the support
Of the Cabinet the latter saying that the situa-
tion was the worst in thirty-seven years. Tho
governments motion finally was adopted by 4l2
TO 16S votes
