Advocates of prohibition need have
no fear of ''PrickIy Ash Bitters" as it
is medicine and by reason of its
cathartic properties can not be used
as beverage. It is manufactured
from the purest materials, and acts
directly on the Liver, Kidneys, Som
ach and bowels. AS a blood purifier
it has no equal. 1t is pleasant to the
taste, and effective in action.

STARTING TO THE soAFFoLD.

The prisoner decided only a moment before
starting for the Scaffold not to make speech.
This was owing to the earnest solicitation of
both priests attending him. He displayed an
dress, but Pere Andre reminded him of his
promise and he then arose and walked towards
the executiOner, repeating his prayers to the
ing s'marci Jesu.' He died without strug-
gle. Not exceeding twenty persons were per-
mitted within the confineS of the barracks to
witness the execution, and it was certainly

The armistice between Bulgaria
and Servia closes one of the most bril-
liant and satisfactory campaigns ever
fought in war-scarred Europe. Prince
Alexander has achieved a splendid
fame. Instead of a scorned, snubbed
and deprecated princeling he is ap
proved q natural leader and sovereign.
He cannot now be reckoned out in any
settlement which the Powers may make
of the affair. By pursuing the Ser
yians across the border he has gained
the full advantage Of his success in a
war wantonly forced upon him. The
Dragging King Milan will pay for his
hardihood with his throne, and the
greedy Servians will be assessed all
the damages. It is as fine an example
of retributive justice as war often
affords.

all around the room, touching it gently

that his bounds were only widened, not

How TO GO TO CHARLESTON.
The Trip Shortened, aud Made Moro Agree
able than Formerly.

The travelling public are greatly IN
debted to the Atlantic Coast Line fol-
the making of q new and most agreea'
BILE route from the up-country to
Charleston. This line extends from
Columbin to Sumter by the Whining
ton, Columbia s. Augusta Railroad,
thence to Lanes bv the Central, and
from Lones to Charleston by the North
eastern. The Coast Line, already con-
trolling the w. c. & A. and the n. +.
r. R., had but to build the Central,
forty-one miles, long, to have this new
route from Columbia to Charleston,
one hundred and thirty-se7en miles
long. The work was finished a little
over year ago, and the new line has
steadily grown in popularity. Line

brought the competing line to do as
well, till now the trip is made in three
hours and twenty minutes. When II
was made, few years ago, in hvs
hours, conservative people thought
that progress in rapid transit hao

Io make such good time requires 8
first-rate road-bed, and frst-class roll

provided, and the comfort Of the trav
eler is infinitely greater than in the
GOOD old days when twenty miles al
hour constituted the height OF railroad
ambition.
Of course in making such speed
there is no such waste as "twent!

is, therefore, buffet car, Furnished

Good Work Of the Life Saving Servi e

The annual report of the superln-
tendent Of the life saving service shows
that the number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels within the field of sta
ton operations during the year was
25s. There were on board of these
vessels 2,206 persons, Of whom 2,ls6
were saved and only ten lost. The
number of shipwrecked persons who
received succor at stations was sos, to
whom l 1,6S6 DAYS relief in the aggre-
gate was afforded. The estimated
value of the vessels involved in these
disasters was $3.50, $50, and of the
careoes S1,OS4,905. The total valne of
the property imperilled was 81 ,604, ,455.
Of this amount S3,352, ,76G was saved
and g1, PSI, ,695 lost. The number of
uessels totally lost was SO.
The following table gives summa-
ry of the statistics of the service from
the introduction of the present system
in 1871 to the end Of the fiscal year.
The loss of life stated below includes
lS3 lost at the wrecks of the Huron

ARE NOT EASILY DECEIVED, FOR
they know quite well that good and bad
clothing are alike made to sell; and who
was ever known to advertise poor clothing?
They know how nearly all clothiers keep
the finest and sell-on paper-at less than
it cost to make them. Honest prices, well
made and nicely fitting clothes, together
with good name Gustly deserYed), are
bound to tell.
The above being fact, j state it merely
to enforce the point that have ready for
inspection the largest and best assorted
stock of Fall and Winter Clothing for men,
youths and boys. that can be found in the
State. They are peerless in variety and
honestly good all the way through; even
the underlinings are shrunk and the trim
mings used are meant to wear, not merely
to help sell the goods, as every garment is
warranted as represented There are un-
assailable ramparts behind which I invite
you to deal. I am not here for season
"; am rere to stay My stock this sea-
son is the largest I have ever carried, and
it embraces every style and fashionable
garment that is made. I am willing to
compare them with the merchant tailor
work, and it is with real pleasure to state
that the business Of this EMPORIUM OF
FASHION is steadily on the increase. Ny
large and constantly increasing patronage
testifes more forcibIy than words than the
values offered by me are not equalled by
any house in the State.
10 prove the truth of this I ask buyers
to make their own comparisons, as enjoy
then reputation above that and beyond
that of all clothiers in this vicinity at least
producing a superior class Of regular
Tailor-made Clothing and Gents Furnish
ing Goods, Hats and Fine Shoes. This is
the headquarters for the correct styles in
mems and boys attire. All orders sent to
my care will be promptly attended to.
