The Old Reliable.

Particular attention is directed to
the schedule of the South Carolina
and Georgia Railroad. This COM
pany by its faithful service to the
country contiguous to its Territory,
has earned the sobriquet of "The
Old Reliable" It's service is the
best; it's route the shortest and its
road traverses some of the lo7eliest
landscapes and most picturesque
scenes this country affords; its time
the quickest; its officers the politest
and most accommodating, and on the
whole it is frstclass road in
every particular. Persons intending
to take a trip either for business or
pleasure should write to the officers
for information.

the whole amount is paid. Come in
and pay us 25 or 50 cents at time
if you want the Dispatch continued

No Time for War Talk.

New York Tribune.
There is no war between this coun-
try and Spain. There is no serious
danger of any. There is certainly
no cause any. 1t may be asserted
with as much confidence as is posi-
BILE in international affairs that there
will be no such war, either now or iD
the measurable future. There " g
on Wednesday little unorganized
riot in Havana. A few hot-headed
army officers smashed the windows
Of couple of newspaper offices.
Practically that was all. 1t was not
a demonstration against the United
States It did not endanger the gen.
eral order CT the city. It had no
international significance than a
scrimmage in Cuban cigar shop in
this city would have. To deem it
a cause for war or for rushing war
ships to Havana would be midwinter
madness worse than that of dog
days.
