' MISE i BAS MISTAKE. When Band Played Dixie Confed erates Began Business. . Here is a little story about a gallant gentleman who ran away from the md of "Dixie" because of his acute recollection of a "Dixie" thing that >0l had occurred to him some forty years ago. The gallant gentleman was Brigadier ^General 'Jack" Hayes, retired. He was seated with a friend on the lawn in front of his home one warm eve ning when a street pianist zephyred galong and began to unreel his - reper toire. It was one of those fairish sort cf street instruments, and the fizzled old soldier liked the music so sch th&t li tosseed the Dago a ce of silver good for two bits. The lian picked up the piece of money* inged the side clutch at ' the next j, and then insouciant "Dixie" fill olock. meral Hayes got right up from his lair without a word, walked into his house, through the hall and to the HK yard, where he remained until tue street pianist had hiked down the et and out of the section. Then old general came out onto the lawn again and took the chair beside his ~:sd without saying anything. The friend, however, was curious, -and he was on sufficiently intimate terms wi th th general to ask to have his curiosity appeased. ? *'General,'' he said, "I never knew :; re that yon were one of these nar row peju jced people. What was your idea in galloping away when that Dago began to unwind "Dixie?' What's the matter with ' Dixie?' Why, I've heard it tumultuously cheered in the aters in Boston and New York." 'That's all right, too," grimly re General >Hayes, chewing on his "The" people who cheered ie' in theatres in Boston and j York never got such a stamped through the 4 Dixie' tune as I did. Prejudice nothing. I'm not prejudic S^KJ against nor sore on anybody. But imade a bad break once in connection with that'Dixie' air, so that I've -er been abie to listen to it since bout getting up and walking as far awjiy from the sound of. it as I could get.

"One day Gen. Kilpatrick summon ed me-I was in charge of a part of the tifcck-destroying--to ask me jhw 2 job was proceeding. He wantet : ker progress made. /*" ' Take one of the mounted bands down to"the plac where the'men ai working,' said Gen. Kilpatrick to me. ' The boys always work faster when there's music around. ' "'I got one of the -mounted bands " took it down to where our gang tf s pulling up the ties and rails. The leader asked me what kind of music I wanted.

Suppose you just reward the r devils by giving them "Dixie.' " ; Well, the leader gave the wind jam tee word, rsd the band began . pump ' Dixie. ' " At this point Gen. Hayes broughl hia-ieeth down hard ou his cigar and remained sil nt for a minute.

New York, Aug. 13.-By his open advocacy of the model subway saloon, which was opened and dedicated the other day by the enthusiastic 'social reformer, Bishop Potter bas decidedly '4put his foet in it." Such a storm of indignation as that aroused among i the* ultra conservative and religious ele ments and the avocates of prohibition has never before been witnessed in tfjiis city. Thousands of letters^ and telegrams have been, sent to Bishop: Potter: scathingly criticizing Iiis ac tion and utterly condemning hie posi toin in the matter. He has, been at tacked in the newspapers and nearly every minister seems to have consider ed it his duty to express his utter dis approval of the reformatory methods of Bishop Potter. While some of the critics merely iidicle the idea of ele- ] vating the saloon, others see in the plan of the bishop a direct collusion with the evil, powers and influences of the dramshop, which cannot but lead to the most demoralizing results. In the mean time the subway saloon is doing a land office business and Bishop Potter says nothing, but allows this flood of "moral" indignation to break over his head. Even among those who recognize the excellent intentions of Bishop Potter and give him credit for his courage in undertaking what he considered right, knowing that it would arouse a flood of opposition, there are many, who believe that the great reformer allowed himself to be carried away by his enthusiasm and that he made a fatal mistake, which would do a great deal more harm than good. The refusal of the owners of the ex cursion steamer Grand Republic to obey the orders of the federal steam boat inspectors, who commanded that the steamer shoulci not be used for car rying passengers to Dreamland until the steamer had been reinspected and I found in proper condition, has reveal I ed a peculiar state of affaire. It has practically demonstrated, that thefed I eral inspectors are powerless to enforce their orders. Although [ the inspectors had sufficient evi dence that the equipment of the steamer as to fire ~ apparatus, life belts, etc, was entirely''inadequate and not in conformance with the laws, the owners of the boat continue to em ploy the Grand Republic to transport passengers to and from Dreamland. It has been discovered, that, under the ( laws the use of the steamer for trans porting passengers cannot be stopped. All that can bs done is, to bring charges against the owners of the steamer and fine them $500 for each i trip for violating the inspection laws, i If the owners of the steamer can afford I or are willing to pay the fines, they can keep the boat in commission as long as tfe^ey choose. The evidence which a partial inspec tion of . the steamer and of its equip } ment has brought to light, proves the criminal carelessness of the inspectors, who certified, that the Grand Repub lic was a safe and properly equipped boat. It was found that nearly one [ half of the life belts were not filled with cork, but with cotton batting and that the latter would not. only not sup port a weight of twenty-four pounds, but would actually sink on their own [accord, after they had been immersed in water fer a few ' minutes. It was also shown that the captain had never held a fire drill of his crew and did not even know what signals to give to bring the crew on deck in case of fire. It was also discovered, that most of the firehose was so old and rotten that it could not stand the pressure i. S Jj-g* A. STAN!

There is considerable indignation over the inspectors' crimi nal neglect cf duty, and there seems to be the sentiment that an example ! j shoaid be made of the inspectors, who J passed on the Gen.

Announcement as to Future of the Seaboard Air Line. New York, Aug. 12.-John S. Wil liams, chairman of the board of direc tors of the Seaboard Air Line, today made the following statement: "The option given Aug. ll, 1903, to Messrs.

These two firms con trol more than $15,000,000 of Seaboard stock, or more than one-forath of the entire issue, and with their friends and associates hold the majority., "The first and second division of the Atlanta and Birmingham line are practically completed and the line will probably be opened from Atlanta to Pell City, 30 miles from Birmingham, within a week. The entire line from Atlanta to Birmingham should be in operation in lesss than 90 days. The line will then become source of large income to the Seaboard system. The statement of Mr. Williams fol lowed a day of live trading in Sea board on the curb market, "in which, the stock advanced sharply. Col. J. S.

The Strike Will be Fought Out to the Last Ditch. Chicago, 111, Aug. 12.-President Donnelly, of the Botchers' Workmen association, decided this morning that the refusal of the packers to listen to a plan of mediation means that the strike will be fought to the last ditch. He says'the men well make no conces sions and the strike will be extended to cover every class of labor handling packing bouse produces, not only in Chicago, but all over the country. The threat is made that boycotts will be ordered and every possible course taken to hamper the packers in their efforts to carry the packing houses on a non-union basis, Chicago, Aug. 12.-A riot in crowd ed Fifth avenue, within a square of the city hall, capped the climax of dis order in the stock yard's strike today. During the day half a dozen men were hurt in different encounters and shots were fired during an attack on a train load of "strikebreakers." Ail told today's violer ce was more widespread than in any previous 12 hours of the strike, although no mob of great size took part in any of the assaults. Even President Golden of the Team sters union was attacked while trying to rescue Max Falk, a union teamster who was driving a wagon loaded with meat. Four hundred persons had pursued Falk not knowns he was a un ionist and were atacking him when President Golden appeared. When Falk produced a union button Golden mounted the wagon, took the reins and urged back the mob. stones and stacks were showered at Golden and Falk before Golden, who suffered many injuries was recognized. \ - ? ? ? ? - - Congaree Boat Line. Mr. W. S. Cook, manager of the WU-'j mintgon-Fayetville boat line, was in the city today in conference with the boat committee of the chamber of commerce in reference to a boat for river navigation. It is probable that a boat will be secured for the river in a short time, but as yet the committee has not made a statement for publica tion. The trouble has been in securing a boat with a draught suitable to this river.-Columbia ecord. Real enjoyment is had when reading that clever magazine, The Smart Set. BUN ND LOCKSMITH.
