and dining cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
n. m. today on one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February6, 1898.

The Burlington's New Trains

Railroad men who haye had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the lst of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
Inc four trains are. identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking -librarycar, a palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The Observation-Disclosures
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
piay cards, while travelling 1T the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ell with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, a writlng-desk,
compartment for card-players,
and wall-stacked buffet The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and a carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use OF passengers. The sleep

We once before had occasion to
comment upen the disgrace in
tiicted upon American journalism
by world correspondent, known
as Sylvester Seovel. This fellow
has again disgraced himself and
his profession this time by assault
ing the general in command of the
American army ut Santiago. He
should be hanged for such an act
of treason. The deliberate insult
to the American people invoked
in slapping the face of General
Shafter under such circumstances
is likely to have disastrous effect
upon the newly aroused admira-
tion of the world for this nation,
unless it is punished in such a
way as to uphold our dignity and
prevent the possibility of such an
offense even again being commit
ted by civilian.
The Florence daily tribune., 1898-07-26
Tho army of any country is I

Tho army of any country is
strange combination OF the ex-
tremes Of democracy and aristoc-
racy. II is because OF the exist
encs of the latter element, that in
some respects the military spirit is
necessarily antagonistic to the
American spirit The aristocracy
of the army, like any other aristoc-
racy, is very small minority of
the whole, comprised as it is of
the officers. But the democracy
is as true democracy as any that
exists. In it alone, perhaps, is alb
solute equality most nearly real
lied. There are scarcely any lines
drawn in the ranks unless the line
between the few absolutely worth
less and the best be considered
one. In time of war even that,
faint as it is at any time, is oblit-
Grated. For the chronically dissi-
pated, regular lodger in the guard
house, may under fire, develop an
animal courage, a reckless indif-
ference to danger or hardship hat
will place him among the elect.
Perhaps one of the most potent
forces in maintaining the equality
of the rank and file of our army
is the uniform. There is no out
ward and visible sign of the least
superiority of the young recruit
brought up in cultured Christian
home, over the child of the tene-
ments, after they don the army
blue and get an army hair out,

State, Friday: "In the United

there was q case for damages
brought up resulting in a verdict
of $33, ,754.77 against the Caro-
lima Sulphuric Acid company, of
Blacksburg, and in favor of the
Durham, On. C.) Fertilizer COM
Pany. The suit was brought to
recover damages from breach of
contract, in that the acid works
failed to supply the fertilizer COM
pany with acid as contracted for.
Major James F. Hart, of York
vile, represented the Durham
parties, Messrs Duncan & Sanders,
of Spartanburg, represented the
Biacksburg concern This iudg-
mcnt was under the ) per cent.

He Writes Feelingly to the
Widow of One of His Men.

Greens burg, Dec. q The fol-

Admiral Dewey bv Mrs. Moss of
Mt. Pleasant, whose husband
Jessie Moss, vas killed in the
battle of Malate, July 3lst.
Olympia, Flagship, Manila, Oct.
%, 1898.
My Dear Mrs. Moss: | wish to
express to You my deepest SYM
pathy. 1t must lessen You sor>
row somewhat to know that your
young husband fell fighting brave
ly for his country, the nohest
death man can know. From the
Olympia | watched the fight that
fearful night and wondered how
many American homes would be
saddcncd by the martyrdom suf-
fered by our brave men, and nv
sympathy went out to each and
every one Of them.
Your loss has been sadder than
the others, and | am unable to
express the sorrow | feel for YOU.
Tears came to my eyes rs | read
the sad story of the father
who never saw his child and then
the loss of all that was eft to the
brave mother. 1t is hard some
time to believe, but our heavenly
Father, in His infinite goodness,
always does things for the best,
and some day father, mother and
daughter will be joined, never to
be parted.
With my tenderest sympathy
believe.
Your sir cere friend,
George Dewey.
The daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Moss Was named for Admiral

Fears Militarism Will Make the

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 3.--Col.
William Jennings Bryan, who
left here day or two ago to Join
his regiment expressed himself to
friends as opposed to expansion
and has based his opposition large
ly upon the same ground as Sena-
tor Hoar--that the acquisition of
the Philippines is the purchase of
sovereignty, and that the genius
of our institutions is opposed to
the barter and sale of sovereignty:
and that the annexation of these
islands means the inauguration of
n governmental policy of miitar~
ism that eventually will press up
on and make harder the lot of the
common people. Col. Bryan has,
however, persistently refused to
be interviewed on thi. question,

DENOUNCE THE DEMA.
GOGUES.
What the Colored People of
Bradley, Greenwood County,
Say.
To the Editor Of The Index:

The colored people of the town
of Bradley, Greenwood county,
beg little space to put on record
their utter condemnation of some
of their race at Phoenix on No.
vember Sth. They desire to
make this statement as to their
feelings and intentions:
While we depIore the reckless
Ignorance of our race in the
Phoenix affair, we at the same
time dislike to see the entire race
arraigned in the public prints as q
lawless people.
Ne inveigh against lawlessness,
by whomsoever committed. We
ate endeavoring to foster the good
feeling between the races. We
have strlven for this end in the
past, and shall continue this
course in the future.
We can but deprecate tne folly
and ignorance of those who
blindly follow the lead of dema-
gogues, who would hurl them in
to turmoil and strife to carry
their own infamous purpose and
then abandon them to their fate.
All good citizens, both white
and colored, deplore the sad at
fair at Phoenix.
We are sorry that some of the
white Republican leaders did not
see the mistakes Of their relstiv es
30 years ago, or even one month
before the last election. Probably
there would have been fewer
widows and fatherless children
thrown out upon the charity of
this hard world.
1t has been said that one white
man can easily lead one hundred
negroes his way, while with great
difficulty colored man may draw
ten after him. If the white man
has this great influence over the
negro he should use that influence
in leading the negro to peace and
prosperity.
The coIored people have gotten
nothing for following these dema>
gogic politicians but widows,
orphans and contempt, while the
damagogues got the offices.
We have sworn our eternal
"No' to support politicians
whose greedy end is money and
office The negro should by this
time see that their votes have
only been used as catspsws to
pull political pindcrs out of the
fire for these dcmagogues to crack.
There are hundreds who have not
bowed their knees to Baai. Let
others say and do what they will
or may, we and our kOuse will
serve the Lord.
We are going to economise, get
homes, get education.
