PRESENTATION ARMY.-The oldest,
Tsincerest, intcnsest religious enterprise
of the present day is the Salvation
Army. The key to it is it's purpose
just to save men g. nothing else. 1t
does not want to do anything moro and
attempts nothing clse-no schools, no
education, no religious training, moth
ing but to.get. men-into-.the kingdom
otGod. 1t will get.tbemi in, any way
'stsaan. 1t has no dignity, TO. .saNer%no
conventionalities to consider. Why
care for u sheer when there is q soul to
save?
1t is q n army in name, and in reality
a church but a very strange kind Of
a church. 1t is II cross between
Methodism, and Quakerism. Like old
MAthodism it is religion on fire or
kebayged with electricity andarIilse
@aakerism, it has no sasnamsntss 1t

Etism and the Lord's.Supper; andayeti it

only to join the Army. Joining the
Army does not save any one; he must

held at Craven Il
of April, 1908, and a..
Inhabitants of that part or Carolina
have represented to us the several
and great commences and advantages
that may accrue to Her Majestie's subj
jects. in General by constituting and
erecting a port upon the River called
Port Royal in Granville County, being,
as eytalleged, We most sproper, place,
within the said province for ships of
Great Burden to take in meats, pitch,
Turpentine and other naval stores for
the use of the Majestie's fleet and
which may be purchased by such mer-
chandizes and commodities only as are
of the Growth, production and Manu-.
factory of Her Majestie's Kingdom of
Great Britain
I'VE, therefore,, being DESTROYS to
render the Province of Carolina as
useful as may be to Her Majestie's
Kingdom of Great Britain, and also
considering that great tracts of Land
are lying upon the said River of Port
Royal who may afford Great Quanti-
ties of Naval Stores, have given direc-
tions for the building a town called
Beaufort Town upon the said River,
and pursuant to the said power grant
ed to us by the said Charter and Pat
ent, have erected, constituted and APP
pointed the said town upon the said
River to be asea port for the discharge
and Unlading of any ships, boats or
vessels whatever, and for lading the
risdictions, Privileges and Franchizes
as to We Sea Port OF Charles Town or
any other sea port within the said
province of Carolina shall in n wise
belong or appertain,% provided that all
ships and vessels whatsoever coming
in or going out of the said port upon
the River of Port Royal aforesaid and
lading or unlading any goods or COM
modities there, and the masters and
commanders thereof and their ladings,
shall be subject and liable to the same
duties and visitations, searches, penal
ties and f0rfeitures, as any ships and
their Landings, and any commanders
and masters of ships are subject and
liable to by virtue of any act or acts Of
Parliament relating Il Trade and
Navigation in any other sea port what
soever in any of Her Majestie's pro-
%vinces, colonies or plantations in

ret, M. Ashley, J. Colleton, Danson."
SO Beaufort was not q growth but o
creation, and, unlike most colonial
towns, had its location determined in
advance on the other side of the At
lantic. Created and named in Craven
House, London, it had, although estab.
lished with a view to a prosaic turpen-
tine trade, the right to be what it once
was, the most ~aristocratic and the
woalthiest town of its size in America.
The a be little doubt hat the
interesting ruin at the mouth OF Beau
fort river, known locally as the I" old
Spanish fort" was built to protect the
new town from attack by sea. 1t is
probably as old as Beaufort itself and
servad to defeed the infant creation of
the Lords Proprietors for many years
from England's foes and the pirate
rovers.-The State.

ANNOYED BY TRAMPs.-The eln-

are considerably annoyed by tramps,
especially near midnight when the late
trains are about to leave. Some OF these
nomads are insolent, fierce and menac,
ing, and when number of them board
a train it is no easy matter for the crew
to dislodge them. Last night several
itinerants invaded the depot yard about
the time the owl train for the South
was to leave with the purpose of becom-
ing free passengers. They were order
ed from the premises, but two-giving
their names as R. A. Jackson and VIM;
Diedrick, hailing from Memphis and
Columbia, S. c., respectively, refused to
leave, and they were promptly arrested
bv Special Officer Crump. This morn
ing the Mayor gave them their choice
leave the city at once or become three
months men on the chain gang. They
choose the former.

WHISKY WHICH Stuck. Among the
prisoners brought before Mayor Strauss
this morning YVES colored man named
Scott Butler, who was charged with
fighting last Sunday. His defense was
that he was drunk at the time and did
hot know what occurred. He was ask
ed to state what hour of the day the
difficulty occurred, and answered about
four o'clock. Supposing a credible
witness against some violator of the
Sunday law could be made out Of the
delinquent, he was told to give the
name of the person from whom he pur-
chased the liquor. The darkey, upon
seeing the turn the affairs had taken,
said he drank no liquor Sunday; that
the last he tasted was on Sunday night.
When asked if the effects of what he
drank then had stood by him all that
night and two-t thirds of the Saturday fol-
lowing, he nodded acquiescence. He
was fined S. for fighting, or given 60
days on the chain gang.

TRIED TO PLAY AN OLD TRICK
There is an old story to the effect that
q Hibernian was once upon time con-
yicted of some crime upon the evidence
of several eye witnesses. When asked
by the court if he had anything to say
yhy sentence should not be passed upon
him he made the following observation
That he had been convicted upon the
evidence of half dozen men who
swore they saw him commit the deed,
when he could summon five thousand
who would swear they did not see him
do SO. This morning the proprietor OF
a small groggery near the outskirts OF
the city was brought before the Mayor
charged with selling liquor without a
license. Two policemen testified that
thew stopped man with a bucket of
beer he had just purchased from the
accused. A white man swore he bought
aud paid for beer in the place, while a
colored man testified he purchased
whisky from the defendant. The latter
Immediately had number OF men
brought forward and each swore he had
never witnessed any such infraction OF
law, and doubtless, like the Hibernian
alluded to above, he could have drum
med up several hundred more to testify
to the same effect. The Mayor fined
him $40.

NEITHER WANTED THE CHILDREN

NEITHER WANTED THE CHILDREN
Among the cases in the Police Court
this morning was that of young col
ored man named Washington and his
wife. They had about year and
half ago agreed to separate for want of
affinity, or something else, but neither
wanted to assume the responsibility OF
taking care of the four off.pring. The
children had been treated like trap
balls, thrown from one parent to the
other, until it had been determined by
both to appeal to the law. The chill
dren were brought into court and the
Mayor, upon hearing the statements
of the parents, concluded both should
share in the responsibility of providing
for the little ones and divided them be-
tween the parents according to his own
Judgment.

coiored man from the country deposit
bag in front of q store on the env;rons
OF the city yesterday. He surveyed
the bag in meditative way, and final

the Egyptian, he turned this way and
that way in order to satisfy himself no.
body was looking, and quickly tighten.
ed the load of the bag by removing the
bottle, and after reaching suitable
place adopted more pleasant way of
carrying the liquor. But, unfortunate
" for the delinquent, little girl was
peering through the window blinds of
a neighboring house while all this was
going on, and she informed the owner
of the bag of what she had witnessed.
He swore out warrant against the de-
spoiler and this morning the accused
was compelled to pay for the liquor.
