"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

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.
