Now light Is thrown upon the fail ure of the project to establish Pullman ear service between Columbia and At lanta, via the Columbia, dewberry & Laurena railroad and the Seaboard Air Line, by an explanation which was advanced Tuesday at the ticket offices of the Seaboard in Columbia, , "The Seaboard Ait Line is perfect ly willing to put on this Pullman ser. vice." it was said; "the Seaboard has from the Hist been ready. Rut we could not establish the service unless the Columbia, N'ewborry al- Laurons road would make later the leaving lime of its afternoon train from Co lumbia to Laurons, connecting with the Seaboard at Clinton. To subserve 1 the purposes of such a Pullman ser i vice as is desired, this train should leave here not earlier than s or '.' o'clock in the evening. As it i> one ; leaves here at .*, o'clock, reaching Clinton at 8.30. The Seaboard train for Atlanta does not leave Clinton until i: 39 a. in., arriving in Atlanta at about 7.30. If a Pullman should be put on upon this schedule, it would be practically empty the greater part of the time. "Why? Because the present ser vice by way of ilie Southern railway and the Georgia railroad is so much more attractive. One leaves here by the Southern at 6:15 p. in., reaching AtlgUStn at 8:35. The sleeper ov< r the Georgia railroad for Atlanta doe* not h ave until 11:15, so that one In s a whole evening to spend in Augusta, (hie may go to the theatre, have business conference or make one or more social (alls. Atlanta is reached at ?'>.L'."> a. in." Secretary llamby of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce Investigated the matter of a Pullman service be tween Columbia and Atlanta. but found the Seaboard officials opposed to the establishment of the service upon present schedules, while the Co lumbia.

[ Reasons why i^n. you should o carry a South Bend Watch All high grndo wntchos have the sann- number of wheels, the same number of springs, ami nre made of the same material. The wheels in one revolve precisely tho same number of times in twenty-four hours as in all other modern watches. The balance wheels in all accurate modern watches pulsate exactly 18,0 0 times every hour. Once more or less and the watch is n< t a per fect time-keeper. The difference in watches lies not in :iie number of whet is but in the care and skill exercised in making' finishing andadjusting lite parts which compose the watch. You can understand the importance of this by realising that the point of the balance wheel staff or axle is one ton thousandth of an inch in diameter or about the size of a human hair. The least hit <>f difference in the size of I his stuff, even though it is so small Hull the most delicate instrument will hardly delect it materially affects the lime-keeping quali ties of the watch. Therefore the quality of the watch is dependent upon the skill an I care used in its making and not upon patented devices and material, it is true that some manufacturers might use inferior and imperfect jewels, but only the l est of material of every character is used in the S 1UTII BEND watch. It lake? three times as long in care to make a SOUTH 11 ION I) a any other watch of similar grade. This extra time and attention is the rea son for the SOUTH BKNI) being the most perfect watch grade for grade CVer const fueled. Watches are so sensitiv?' to the habits of the persons who earrv them thai even a SOUTH BKNI), with all the care and time spent upon its adjustment to give perfect time, should he adjusted to the individual who is to carry it. For this reason we have established a large corps of watch inspectors, the largest in the world. Our 12.805 inspectors are our regular jewelers in sill parts of the country and competent to adjust the SOUTH BKNI) so that it will give perfect time-keeping satisfaction We give this service to every purchaser of a SO I'Til BEND watch ab solutely free: We charge nothing for the extra attention in making the SOUTH BKNI) the perfect time-keeper that it is. SOUTH BKNI) watches can be laid only of authorized SOUTH BKND watch inspectors . Retail jewelers in nearly every city in America If you want a watch upon which you can absoluctly rely, and that will keep perfect time under all conditions, even though frozen in solid ice, buy a SOUTH BEND.
