June 1. -Frank Boucher. 22 years old, struck on the forehead 'by ? pitched ball during a baseball game yesterday died today. ing up with the Central of Georgia railway the question or a possible ex tension of their lines from Athens to Anderson. SOUTHERN RY. RE-TRACKING 1 have been requested by Mr. J. J. Fratwell to bring: to your attention the fact thut the Board of Directors of the Southern railway meet in Wash ington June 3rd to discuss the mat ter of re-tracking, or rather double tracking their main line between Greenville and Gainesville. He sug gests and urges that a committee should be sent to Washington to place before the directors there the matter of'diverting this second track via Anderson, ar was suggested at our annual meeting by our chairman. Mr. Hammett. He also suggests ?md requests that I bring to your atten tion tho advlr-lbllity at the same time of advising the Southern officials that Anderson stands ready to do all pos sible to secure completion of the Blue Ridge. As it is now probuhly too late to send a reprei.entative to Wash ington or to get a letter there, I have written out a tentative, telegram in the matter. Such is only placed be fore and not even suggested or rec ommended. It is u matter of such importance as to cati for great con sideration. FINANCES. ETC.-I have changed the plan of work in the office by doing away with a stenographer, doing that work myself and employing a young man as assistant, who will al so collect. By this method we save the cost of collecting, a pretty con siderable sum, and I believe the new plan is best. Our fund for this cur rent year ls approximately 15,000.00, Including $300.00 rrom the Duke In terests,'which we have BO far not se cured. I Wc are operating on less money than last year, or about $350.00 per month, which is based on a col lected fund of about $4.100.00. which is very small for a city of this size. If we continue the traffic department lt will add approximately $900.00 to this, of which $600.00 will be salary and the balance traveling expenses, etc., which would make a total oj $5,000,44 or just about exactly what our fund is. and we would, therefore, have to have 100 per eent. collection? to get through. As above stated, 1 suggest that we continue a paid traf fic manager, certain concerns should increase subscriptions sufficiently to cover at least 50 to 75 per cent, of thia expense, otherwise I do not see where we will havo the money to continue that department. We have collected so far about CO per cent, of the first half of dues due, and are now start inp out to collect the balance, which should carry us to September 1st, when we will call for the second half We have naturally had heavier expen ses during the first months than we will have later, due to the annual meeting, payment of Mr. Rothrock'e salary during the first months on double . pro-rata basis, etc. It will take close sailing and good collections to keep within the fund not including the traffic work, which has so far specifically touched only a few, though, of'course, the general good has been great. There are still quite a number Of persons who have not been eeen in the membership cam paign, which was never completed due to so many other things taking up our time and attention.' In fact foi thc last 90 days the secretary has put in three-quarters of his time solicit ing money on one thTdgT-: or another. We still have one more big rolirltfng campaign to pall off. which will take a lot of time and the closest attention. I refer to the sale of fina night tick ets to the theatre. Respectfully, PORTER A. WHALEV, Secretary. II IE RT A'S WISH F I'LL Y STATE H. (Continued from page 1.) the above named conditions ure jul ian cd . "The Mexican government accepted the mediation of the South American power?, in a frank and open spirit and the Mexican delegation has been guided and will be guided in all its acts by perfect good faith. "lt should be unnecessary to say that President Huerta gave the Mex ican delegation special instructions not to consent to anything which could hurt the sovereignty or tho Mex ican nation and to refuse a itearing in the deliberations of the conference to anything which might be construed as an imposition from the outside. For their own part, the ' delegates would notvhave accepted instructions of a different -nature on these points; but they beg tu stute that bithero, they have bad no occasion to refer to them, thanks to" the exquisite tacit of the mediating plenipotentiaries und. o the circumscription of the Ameri can delegates. "To treat of the interior pacifica tions in Mexico in the. course of the deliberations on difficulties of un in ternational character cannot be con sidered as submitting the sovereign ty of the nation to an external influ ence; said pacification is necessarily bound up with the intemationnl ques tions. This has been appreciated hy the. Mexican delegation and in setting forth the intentions, of ita government In the matter and his endeavors to bring about the pacifications, it has been itu.plied by the knowledge that without it no satisfactory conclusion can bc arrived at in the international quest len.'
