V', The verdict rendered by the Schley court of enquiry settles nothing but the fact that a clique of naval officers have conspired to rob him of his well deserved laurels. That fact was well Enough understood before. Schley is atiil and will continue to be the hero of the people, while his enemies will continue to vent their jealousy in • carping criticism and mean slanders. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The merchants of Gaffney made a r gtaod display in our Christmas issue of last Friday. Our readers will find In Gaffney everything that will tempt the taste, administer to comfort, or J supply bumao needs, and all these * at prices as low as can be afforded. P Out "'merchants are wide*awake. en- terprising, and honest. Everybody ^ within twenty miles of Gaffney should come in this week and make the merchants glad and their own jhome>,happy by laying in a full sup ply of Christmas goous. The Philippine Islands have al ready cost the United States over fa6t).000,000 and thousands of Airier- icau lives, while according to (i.-n. Chaffee the army will be needed there at least one yeAr longer. It is safe to say we are pht half through the ,' process of benevolent assimilation _, and by the time the job is fully cum- pleted ,we will have spent a billion of dollars And sacrificed a hundred thousand lives—the flower of Ameri can manhood. Is imperialism so im perative ibat it must be propagated at the cost of so much blood and A ■ ^ ? treasure? ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The papers last Sunday contaiued an account^ a fedt in wireless teleg raphy. which if true, marks the grandest triumph of this or of any other Age.

Will Iiimiguratu ► , p«*c , !al C'I»»p*h SfrvU*e on Its \ hx Ions The Southern Railway, with its Florida connections, the Plant sys tem and Florida Ea*t Coast railway will, beginning January <>th, inaugu rate its Especially high class M rvice between Chicago, Chveland, Pitts burg, Detroit, Louisville and Cincin nati, via Chattanooga, Atlanta, Ma con and Jessup, to Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The Cincinnati and Fieri la Lim ited will continue to run as at pres ent leaving Cincinnati at 8:30 a. m , southbound, and leaving Jacksonville at 7:45 p. in., northbound, this being a through train with Pullman sleepers, coaches and eai'e cars, run ning daily between Jacksonville and Cincinnati. This train will be sup plemented on January Orb by a through sleeping car between St. Agustine and Chicago via the Monon ll'iute north of Cincinnati. The Chicago and Florida Special, which was inaugurated January 15th last, and which made for itself such an enviable record and was the means of inducipg much travel from Chica go and the West to Florida, will be gin January 5th 1901, this season and and run until the close of the Florida tourist season. This train will have sleeping cars between Chicago and St. Augustine daily except Sunday via Doth the Big Four and Pennsylva nia lines; between Cleveland and Sr. Augustine via the Bit» Four; between Pittsburg and St. Augustine via Penn sylvania lines ; and between Louisville and St. Augustine via Southern Rail way. The cars from Chicago, De troit, Ch-veland and Pittsburg unit ing at Cincinnati, leave Cincinnati southbound at 9 80 p. in., taking on the Observation Sleeping Oar from Louisville. Ky., at Lexington. Ky., passing Atlanta next morning at 10:- 35 a. in., arriving at Jacksonville 8 30 p rn., St. Augustine 9:30 p m. This train will have complete din ing car service and will be establish ed this year, a week sooner than it was put on last season, and it is ex pected will even be more successful than last season, which was the firsl year the train was operated. The en terprise of the officials of the M»uth- eru Railway in establishing this ex pensive and luxurious service has a great influence in the directing of tourists fiom Chicago and the West and also from the Central States to Florida as against California. Cali fornia has in recent years made a very strong bid for this tourist busi ness, but with the superb service, be ing double daily and most luxurious, from Central States to Florida and advantages of Florida as a tourist re sort, it ts expected that a larger number of visitors will go to Florida from the West and Northwest this season than ever before and the en tire Southwest will be benefitted by the increased number of visitors, etc The Southern Railway has also now in operation through sleeping cars between Kansas City and Jackson ville via Memphis, Birmingham and Atlanta in connection with the Frisco System; and will continue to operate the all year round through sleeper between Cincinoati and Jacksonville via Harriman Junction, Knoxville, Asheville, Columbia and Savannah. An Indian* YUltor. ^r. Phillip Stuppey, af Lowell, Lake county, Indiana, is in the city visiting his brother and sister-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Jas. G Galloway, on Limestone street, and will remain with them for several weeks. Mr. Stuppey is a farmer, an intelli gent man, devoted to his life-long business, and talks interestingly of his methods of farming and caring for stock in his coia north-western country. He says corn, oats and timothy hay are their principal crops; that they prepare land with tongue plows and cultivate them with cultivators, the plowman always rid ing. He says their lands yield about forty bushels of corn per acre and the same of oats, and are worth about $40 00 per acre. Southern Educational Aiwociation.

Gentlkmcn: I have tested the virtue of White Stone Llthla Water and 1 now moet earnestly commend it to any one troubled with any kidney disease. It lias done more for me than any water 1 have ever tried* For years 1 have suffered at times with the passage of Uric Acid calculi, and have tried a number of celebrated mineral waters, amoiiir them the Buffalo Lithia Water. Tate, Capon SprlnKs, and Waukesha Bethesda, havlnjr spent two months each summer for eight succes sive summers. While 1 was somewhat benefitted. I can safely state that I find no comparison in the action of White Stone Lithia Water, for In It I find that they act powerfully on my kidneys in clearing up the urine and In thoroughly washing them out. when I drink White Stone Llthla Water in sufBclentquantities. If what 1 learned from mydootois fs true about flood ing the kidneys, then I can see no reason why I should Huffer any more with Uric Aold cal culi. or the fearful attacks of renal colic. As long as I can get It. I shall try no other water bnt White Stone Llthla. Yours respectfully, REV. JOHN T. McBRYDE. WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER CO. WHITE STONE SPRINGS. S. 0.
