New Service From Niger to Mediterranean?A 1,000 Mile Desert Route. Pall Mall Gazette. Though a journey across the Sahara is still an undertaking of some magnitude, the pacification of the central region by the French has been wonderfully rapid during the last five years. Removed as it seems from the exciting influence of events in Morocco, and undisturbed by Senussife propaganda, the French ollicers have been able to establish friendly relations with the Tuareg and other Berber tribes, and have organized a chain of posts right across the desert connecting Algeria with French West Africa. 1 lie route for the telegraph has been surveyed and a "wireless" installation is being established. Meantime, by the last mail from Dakar the governor of French West Africa reports that he has instituted a monthly service by couriers between the Niger and the Mediterranean, The Southern point of departure will be the ancient town of fiao on the Niger, some two hundred milos below Timbuktu, and the point of departure from the noi j'i Insalah in tlu oasis ot I uat, which is some three hundred miles south of the rail head in the Sud Oranasis, intermediate posts have been established at Agadef and I lie Ahaggar. The oversight ol the new route covers fully 1,000 milef of desert. Much is expected in the way of accustoming the wild tribesmen of the Sahara to the new order of thing* from the ruglar running of service and possibly some development ol trade may follow. But at present it will be useful chiefly as a means ol rapid communication between tlx French military posts. It is intended returning home from the Niger dis tricts shall make use of the transslnv ran route, which will be more direel and less costly than the journey fron <>r to France via Senegal or Dnlio mey. Both horses and camels will b< used on the new service. Rowdy Negro Sent to Gang. Mr. O. A. Felker reported to Magt istrate Hleaso a few days ago that Forest Long, colored, was given to firing his pistol on the poor house public road when returning from I Newberry. Magistrate Bleaso issued a warrant for Long and placed it in the hands i of Constable Chappell for services. It wasn't long before Mr. Chappell had ( tho offender in his hands. Yesterday i lie was tried before tho magistrate i and leceived a sentence of thirty days or a fine of $40 for carrying a pistol, and sentenced for thirty days ' or $.'{() lor shooting on the public highway. Long couldn't raise t':e 1 money and had to cake the days. Magistrate Blease warned him that, if he was brought before him again he would try to find some way to make his punshimcnt more severe as it was his purpose to keep the highways i roe from rowdyism and pistol shooting. Wi)l Pay 4 1-2 Per Cent. In our report of tho condition of the financial institutions of Newberry county last week it was stated that the People's National Hank of Prosperity would pay a semi-annual dividend of it per cent. This was erronuous, as the dividend declared was 4 1-2 per cent. This is an excellent showing for the institution and reflects credit upon its directors and ollicers. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. Rev.
