PUSHING A GOOD THING"
Almost Too MuG.l Easerness for Re
 ward of Virtue.

The general manager of traction system of western city recently re- ceived the following communication, together with five-cent piece: 'I beg to advise you that week or two ago I rode home on car No 1899, of your Main street line. The car was very crowded. and the conductor, through no fault of his own, failed to reach me. When left the car he was too far to the front to enable me to get to him. I. therefore, nov remit you the amount of my fare. and beg to say that would have done so sooner had 1t not been that I was out of town" This unusual occurrence was reported by the general manager to the roads board of directors. with the result that. by their instruction. an annual pass was sent to the honest patron, together with letter couched in complimentary terms. The recip- lent must have recountsd his experi- encs to his neighbors. for in . little while the manager received . letter from another patron, reading: Tn view of the fact that yesterday I neg lected to pay my fare on your line.

Nashville 3, Little Rock 2.

Nashville, Tenn, July 17.-It was a sad tale that the genial Mique Finn and his satellites are obliged to send back to the faith ful fanatics at home this evening.
 With the game apparently won the Colts went into the field in the ninth jubilant over the sup posed victory and eager to shake the Nashville dust from their feet and to-be on their way to Atlanta ready to do battle with the Georgians for second place.
 It looked like a cinch. The score was ? to in their favor, slight margin, to be sure, but Billy Hoffer, who had been hit somewhat freely in the early rounds, had frightened up and not allowed a bingle since the fifth. Then, too, the veteran was as steady as clockwork, and the team was playing great ball be- bind him.
 Then oh, dear, that ninth in- hing. Nashville made runs and the game was over.

Jamestown Exposition.

Although many of the magnifi-
cent structures that are to house
domestic and foreign exhibits
and shelter the achievements of
the industrial arts are incom-
plete, the Jamestown tercenten
NAL exposition will be opened
this week. The grounds and
buildings at the exposition are
only about so per cent finished;
but the exterior of most of the
buildings will be ready at the
formal opening of the exposition
on Friday.
The inception Of the James
town tercentennial exposition
sprang from the desire of a peo-
pie, many of whom are descen-
dants Of that hardy English stock
that settled ar1ong the Indians
at Jamestown 800 years ago, to
teach the traditions that have
been handed down by those
colonisas.
Complete arrangements have
been adopted for the protection
of visitors at the exposition.
Both the exposition authorities
and the police have arranged
with the Pinkerton detective
agency to assist in the police
work, and detectives from all
over the country are being called
on to join in the service.

The Weather and the Crops.

The unreasonable weather
which has characterized the
present month from the very
beginning still continues, the
temperature being entirely too
cool for crops Of all kinds, frost
being experienced over a good
portion of the northern half of
the Cotton Belt. Planting has
been delayed and the germina-
ton of the seed already planted
has been prevented, and the
growth Of the cotton already up
has been greatly retarded. As
a result of the delays caused by
the cold, the cotton and corn
crop, which promised to make
an u~ncommonly early start, will
barely make an average CON-
mencement.
However, the cotton fields are
now in a fine state of cultivation
and preparation, and if the
weather now proves propitious
for completing the planting and
for the termination and growth
of the planted crop, there is still
a hope that cotton may make an
early start. But the fact must
not be overlooked that the cold
spell has done much damage and
has rendered re-planting neces-
sary in many instances.
The delay and damage to the
cotton crop by the cold weather
have also extended to the corn
crop, and the prospects for the
cereal are not as bright as they
were a little while back.

COUNTY TELEPHONE SERVICE.

The Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. wishes to operate in connec-
ton with it's exchanges in the country
a county system and to this end request
the farmers of the country to give it an
opportunity of presenting to them its
plans for the service. By the use of
the greatest of modern inventions, the
farmer can at a minimum cost to him
self keep in touch with the markets and
on the days that the highest prices are
offered for the products of his farm he
can be reached over the telephone by
his merchants or by his confidential adj
visor and thus frequently in one trans
action save more than the cost of his
telephone service for an entire year.

HIGH HONOR BESTOWED.
Rev. DR.. S. .. Long, Former
ly of Lee County, Elected
President of Martha
Washington College

(From Blusfeld CIV. Va.) Telegraph
Bristol, Tenn, April 18-The
board of trustees of Martha
Washington College, the Meth
, odist school for girls at Abing-
don, Va, tonight elected DR.. S.
D. Long, pastor Of the Bland
Street Methodist Church, Blue
field, w. Va, president of the
college, to succeed Rev. M. D.
Mitchell, resigned. Twenty-one
of the twenty-six members of
the board were present. 1t has
been understood for two days
that DR.. Long was in the lead
of the several men mentioned
for the position. DR.. Long will
take charge Immediately after
the close of the present school
term.
When DR.. Long was informed,
last night, by a representative
Of the Daily Telegraph, of the
contents of the foregoing mes
sage he expressed surprise at
the action of the trustees. He
had, he said, heard some talk
during the last few days Of his
name being mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency of
the college, but attached no great
Importance to it. He was ney-
er a candidate for the office, in
the sense Of having asked for
the appointment. The informa-
ton furnished him last night by
the Daily Telegraph was the first
intimation of his election to the
presidency Of this we'll known
educational institution.
DR.. Long has requested the
Daily Telegraph to say that his
acceptance Of the presidency of
the Martha Washington College
will not be allowed to interfere
with his pastoral duties in Blue
field. He will not leave here I'M
til sometime in the summer, pos
sibly not until the end of the
conference year, and he wishes
us to assure the membership OF
his congregation that he has no
intention of leaving Bland Street
Church for one moment without
a pastor. Under no circumstan.
ces will he leave Bluefeld until
a successor, satisfactory in ev-
cry way to the membership OF
the church, has been secured.
The Daily Telegraph heartily
congratulates DR.. Long upon his
deserved promotion and felici.
tates Martha Washington Col
lege upon securing as a success
sor to DR.. Mitchell a gentleman
of such signal ability and ster
ling worth as DIR. S. D. Long
At the same time we but voice
the sentiments of the member
ship Of Bland Street Methodist
Church and the community at
large when we express the deep
est regret that he must leave
Bluefeld. His place here will be
hard to fill.
