Emperor William Incensed. HE SENDS A STRONGER PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN. Beriin, Jao 4-Tbe seizure of the Imperial mail steamer General has considerably aggravated the situation here, and thc indignation against England is intensified. The Govern? ment is still earnestly endeavoring to preserve correct official forms, but Eog land will do well to hasten to make tbe amende honorable to Germany. On absolutely reliable authority the correspondent of the Associated Press learns that Emperor William is oow thoroughly aroused by thev repeated seizures of vessels, oot eoe of whicb, be has beeo assured, has been gaiity of carrying contraband. He regards the seizures as highhanded proceedings, which En^.iand would not dare to undertake if the German navy were more powerful than it is His Majesty is said to be particularly incensed because information ha8 reached him showing that the seizures were not due to the blundering cf British naval officers, but to scriot orders from head? quarters, which the officers are merely carrying oat. He bas therefore j instructed Count Von Baeiow, the foreign secretary, to demand esact and fall reparation for tbe outrage done io che German Sag No answer that is considered 6atisfac tory bas yet been reoeired from Lon? don, and, according to advices here, nene is to he expected for scrverai days j longer. Today's oews, however, induced the German government to send another and more wrongly worded prctcs; to Lon? don. i ANOTHER GERMAN SHIP SEIZED. Br rite. Jan 4.-The Imperial Mail stearne?

Nor 1-3m The Superintendent, Charged With Unfairness to a South Carolina Cadet. j Washington, Jan 4 -Congressman ! Latimer of South Carolina, was the i central figure of a sensational scene at the office of the secretary of the I navy today. This was the second j chapter of a seusatiou brought on by the unjust treatment at Annapolis of a South Carolina boy, who is a cadet, the inspiration of this treatment being Admiral McNair, the head the Naval Academy The result of it ail is an investigation into the conduct of the old admiral by the secretary of the navy and there can be no doubt of the reinstatement of the cadet He is Cadet Maxwell, of An derson Maxwell was, in the slang j of the academy, sent to conventry by his ciass because of alleged im plication in some disgraceful pro? ceedings that figured during the Christmas jollities at Annopoiis. When the matter was first before the class the action was favorable to Maxwell, but there was a subsequent meeting at which Maxwell was de? cided against When the boy got into the trouble he telegraphed his father to come on His father asked Congressman Latimer, who appointed young: Max well to investigate and, accordingly, Congressman Latimer went over there yesterday Io the course of his in ves-igation he found that the action of the class had undoubtedly been in? spired by the Admirai. Ile asked j NcNair about the case and the old i admiral denied any knowledge of it j When he discovered what he had i reason to believe the truth Congress- ! man Latimer was very mad and j charged McNair with lying to him. j This brought on a sensational scene, ) the upshot of which was an apology from McNair and the promise that the wrong that had been dune the b >y should be righted Tho cen- i gressman made it plain that he would j not uphold the boy if he wa? in trie j wrong bat be proposed io have fair j pi ay Today the scene of action was j transferred to Washington One of .McNair's aides ce?nje to Latimer, beg- ! ging him ; ot to make any charges j against the admiral, and he agreed ? that he would not if there was feil reparation made the wronged cadet I Later, however, the secretary ol ; the Navy took UD the m-itter and sent ! for Admiral NcNair, wno was here, j The secretary had tried tc get Lat? j mer to prefer charges, bat. tne latter ? said he did not want to give lue old | man trouble and that he did not con j sider that McNair was altogether ! responsible for his conduct yester day Wnen the admira: and Latimer j met face to face, the secretary having J in the meantime talked with theadmi? i ra!,the iatter wa?enraged beyond ceas- \ nre 'You have charged that I was j dnm':."' he cried out to the congress i man ; "you sie ''' With that Latimer j jumped up and was about to strike j the ?dmira',when the iatter apologized most abjectly, taking bael; ali .offen? sive words He was evidently labor icg under intense < xcitemen! Af?er j aw.iiiie. however, he quieted down, j and the matter /as left oy the 6ecrc- j tary with the understanding that j McNair is to investigate the Maxwell j case thoroughly and make proper j amends ii any wrong has been done ', the. cadet This, Mr. Latimer insists, ! must come in the shape of a public j apology by McNai: to the bov before : the ci-163. j It is highly probable that their will j be officiai investigation into McNair 8 j conduct, although there is a general j disposition on the patt of ali concern j ed to let him off as lightly as possible because of his age and the fact that he will retire within a year -R M.

EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "im good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times it did not pay.'*'' While we have always found that advertising paid us. we must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch? man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing ia return except our promise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past. It is particularly gratifying to us to acknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be-our motto bein<i LIVE AND LET LIVE A Ith mgh we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. I m Jil SS Ai Wc bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices, Those Tai* Heel Btaiiket? Which you have boen walang for so long have come at last. ' It was nut our fault that they were not here sooner as our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to deliver them sooner. These goods are made in A Southern Mill. From Soutnern Wool, By Southern Men and there are none better. They are improving on the finish every year. We are selling at the same price as last year: but if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance. We on Iv have about so don't put off buying, or you may get left. li* ^2 sn A ^ nw Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don't know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying now for Spring and paying 10 to 16 per cent more for the same class of goods, hut those or hand will go at the old prices while thev last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to sav about The H. C. Godman Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth. Bear in mind we are still the SOLE AGENTS FOR THEM AND GUARANTEE EVERY PAIR THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from ?1.75 to ?3.50. and every pair warranted. If you want the best ?3.00 shoe buy a Reynolds. NOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing business, and if there i ire an y of the men or boys in the county who have not bought a suit, it has not been our fault : but fear? ing there still may be a few unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express. Ii' you need an overcoat see us before buying, as we have some great values. In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De? partment will be found some values that compare favora? bly with tlie balance of our stock. This announcement would not be complete without a word about our GROCERY STOCK. This department is up to the usual standard, and that is saying about all thai is necessary for it. Our MILLBURNE PLO UH. of which we believe lhere is more sold in this county than other hrand. is pronounced by those who use it unsur? passed. 'Donnell & Co.
