CHARLEsTONs FRIENDSHIP.
The City by the Sea Delighted at At

lantaS DtSCOm future.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 3.-The an
nOuncement of the disbanding of the
Macon club and the consequent advance
ment Of Savannah in the race for the
pennant was received here with unusual
expressions of delight. 1t will be remem-
bered that Charleston was deprived of her
victories over Chattanooga by the same
rule that throws out Atianta's last victO-
ries over Macon. The Atlanta club had so
thoroughly disguised every body Dy their
conduct here that there are not six men
or women in Charleston who do not re-
joice IN Sayannah's success. The dis
bandment OF Macon and Atlanta's dis
cOmfiture almost recOnciles Charleston TO
the loss Of four straight games to the
Forest CITY.

THE A. r. AND n.
Augusta Counting on a Large Trade
When il is Completed.

" nun ~ 10 ipA1bC0s
The success of the Augusta, Edgefeld
and Newberry road Is fully assured, ac-
cordmg to the Augusta Evening News.
1t says: The new road will be a very i'm
portant feeder to Augusta's commerce,
and our people hardly appreciate the ex-
tent of the benefits which Col. Mitchell is
preparing for us. The trade of Newberry
and other mountain sections of Carolina
now goes in other directions on account
Of the distance and difficulty in getting
here. The distance to Augusta from
Newberry around the Charlotte, Column
bia and Augusta road, or Dy the Augusta
and knoxville, is ll3 miles, and the Au-
gusta, Edgeteld and Newberry narrow
gauge viii reduce the distance to sixty
eight miles and turn all the trade and
products of that rich country in this
direction. Not only this, but all the coun-
try beyond old Edgefeld VIII then come
to Augusta with its cotton and field crops,
and Augusta VIII then fully appreciate
the extent and magnitude Of the good
work which President Mitchell is now
pushing to rapid and successful compile
ton across the river.

DAVID DAVIS ON NEWSPAPERS.

"Every year," said the late Hon.
David Davis in letter to an eastern
literary paper, "every local paper gives
from 800 to $4,000 in free lines for
the benefit Of the vicinity in which it
is located. No other agency will or
can do this. The editor, in proportion
to his means, does more tor his town
than any other ten men. He ought to
be supported, not because you happen
to like him or admire his writing, but
because a local paper is the best invest
ment community can make. 1t may
not be brilliant or filled with great
thoughts, but financially it is more OF
a benefit to a community than preach
er or teacher. Understand me now,
do not mean morally or intellectually,
but financially, and yet on the moral
question you will find the majority OF
the local papers on the right side OF
the question. To-day the editors Of
the local papers do the most work for
the least money of any men on earth
Subscribe for and advertise in your
local paper, not as charity, but as al
investment"

platform the nominee placed himself
on is somewhat broad gauge. 1t
favors equal wages, regardless of sex,
color or condition, and stands by
woman suffrage favors a graduated
income tax; demands disbursement of
the money in the treasury by paying
the public debt; wants abolition Of
national banks, and more favorable
laws for miners favors forfeiture OF
railroad lands when conditions have
not been complied with; is in favor OF
prohibiting aliens from acquiring land
condemns Governor Squire and de-
mands his removal demands expul-
sion of all Chinese except government

ton of soldiers for the difference in

demands lien law to supersede mort

unknomn islands in the Pacillc.

The factthat two islands of considera-
bic size have recently been discovered in
the Pacific Ocean, shows that we have
yet much to learn OF this great watery-
expanse. The latest discovery is an
island lying less than 100 miles from the
northern coast Of New Guinea. 1t has
been named Allison Island, is nearly
three miles long, rises from 100 to $50
feet above the sea, and has abundant
timber. Several specks of fertile and
inhabited land, some of them much larger
than Allison Island, have been found
within q few years ata distance of one
hundred to two or three hundred miles
from the New Guinea coast, and similar
discover. are made once in while in
various parts of the Pacific.
Oceanica is SO large that no mp of it
can be given in an atlas except on a
minute scale. We see hundreds Of
groups and solitary islands huddIed to-
gether on the maps, aud get the idea
that the Pacific is thicllly studded with
verdant bits ofland. The factis how
ever, that vessels may sail among these
islands for many weeks without once
coming in sight Of land. Only few
months ago a crew that had been ship
wrecked in the great island region Of
the Pacific, rowed north for forty days
before they reached Hawaii, the nearest
land. NJ. A. r. Wallace, who has
travelled widely in the Pacific ex-
pressed the opinion some time ago that
there are still good many islands there
that have never yet been seen by white
men.
Once in while Pacific trader finds
some new or little known island and
opens trade with its inhabitants. If
business thrivcs, he keeps his secret as
long as he can, 50 as to enjoy a monopo-
ly. 1t was found a while ago, when
the Woodlark Islands were explored,
that an Australian firm had carefully
charted the islands several years before,
and had been quietly trading there, all
