"THE ATI/ANTA SPECIAL" Now Train Hoon to Ih- I?ut On Ily Tim Southern Railway. Washington, D. C., Oct. 29 ? On Sunday, November 16, a new train between New York and Atlanta, to be known as the "'Atlanta Special," is to |)e inaugurated by the South ern Hallway. This new train will be operated on the present schedule of the "New York, Atlanta and New Orleans Limited" which will be changed so as to run later in both d'rections. Both trains will be high class in every respect with dining and club cars and handling only Pullman equipment/ With the inauguration of the At lanta Special there will bo four high clans thru trains daily in each direc tion between Atlanta and New York over the Southern Railway, five be tween Charlotte and New York, and Beven btween Lynchburg and New York, thus affording splendid accom odations for travel between states of the Southeast and the great Eas tern cities. The new 'Bervice is be ing establishd to take care of the heavy business betwen the South east and the East and to provide for the expected increase of trans-con tinental businss thru the Southeast ern territory. On the same' date that the Atlanta Special tnakes its first trip, a new train will be put on between New Orleans and San Francisco which will reduce the time to the Pacific Coast by thirty hours and the management of the South ern Railway has taken advantage of the opportunity thus offered to turn as large a volume of trans-continen tal travel as possible thru the south east^and at the same time give im proved service for the territory di rectly on its lines. When you eat Kern's candies you will tell your friend it is the best you ever put In your mouth, for there are none better. O. W. Cros by's Ice Cream Parlor. CHAIWiKD WITH ARSON. Storckocjjer, Clerk and Wife Lodg ed in Lancaster Jail. Lancaster, S. C., Oct. 28. ? Fire last night which originated in J. E. Walters & Go's store on Factory Hill, destroyed the store, a barn across the street belonging to Hen ry Plyler and one dwelling of the Lancaster Cotton Mills. The fire was outside the limits and had it not been for the valiant work of a bucket brigade a number of tenant houses would have been destroyed. Investigation as to the origin of the fire and by the police officials disclosed, it is alleged, that the building had been set on fire by Hugh Taylor, a clerk in the storo of Walters & Co. Taylor was imme diately arrested and, according to the authorities, made a full confos sion today, stating, it is further al leged, that Walters offered him S26 to burn it and that Walters had fired a trash barrel Saturday night with the intention of setting the store on fire, but that Taylor went back and put it out. Late this afternoon Walters and his wife were lodged in jail, charg ed as accessories. Walters had $ 1.500 insurance on his stock, which was ;i total loss. The buildings in sured for about half their value, it is stated. Bams l>t\strt>yed. Mr. A. I). Kennedy, Jr., had the misfortune to lose four barns and their contents of corn, fodder, hay and oats and a number of valuable farming Implements by fire yester day. ? The loss is a heavy one on Mr. Kennedy, as the amount of insur ance carried by him is only $2,000, while the actual loss is much great er. The origin of the fir# is un known but is suspected to be the old reliable cigarette, which can alway;* be depended upon to do its full part in causing conflagrations in both city and country.
