KniEhts OF IIOnOr Lecture.

Mr.. J. w. Todd, of Seneca, State
Lecturer for the knights of Honor,
was in Newberry last night and dcliv-
cred lecture in the Knights of Honor
hall along the lines of work being done
by the Order. He spoke of the insur.
ance feature OF the Order and showed
how poor man can, in this way, pro-
vide for his family, while it would be
impossible for him to do it otherwise,
and cited numerous instances to prove
the position he took.
1t was plain and thoroughly practi-
cal talk and was greatly enjoyed by
those present, and, no doubt, will re-
vivc an interest in the Order in New
berry. The pity is there was not Il
larger audience present to hear Mr..
Todd.

Long Service.

We noted some time ago the long
service Of MIR. w. II. Jackson as stree,
overscer at Ncwberry. He succeeded
Mr.. Matthias Miller and had completed
twenty-five years of continuous service
and must have known every street and
every bridge in town.
But there is one of the cart drivers
who has seen longer continuous service
than this. Jim Scott has been EN-.
ployed by the town for thirty-one OF
thirty-two years continuously and still
holds his job.
And Ryal Bates, the lamp'ighter and
general porter, began work under Mr.
Matthias Miller as street hand and
worked with him for one year and has
continued to work for the town since
making his service stretch over twenty
six years. tien who have been faith
ful and who have been in the service
of the the town so long deserve some
consideration.

The "A. G l.. Has Some Important Pinns-.
Solid Trains From Charleston to
GrRenville - Double Daily
Train Servico.

1t is said that the Atlantic Coast Line
! Is planning to make some schedule
changes which will be of benefit tt
/ Charleston, Columbia aud the up coun
! try.
The A. @. l.. recently obtained
, control OF the Charleston and
| Western Carolina railroad, which is q
most important addition to an already
powerful system.
The plan in contemplation includes
the operation OF solid trains between
| Charleston and Grecnville over the
Atlantic Coast Line, Columbia, New.
berry and Laurens, and Western Caro-,
lima railroads.
Such trains would make the trip be-
tween those cities in seven hours, or
possibly in less, and they would be
very popular.
Such trains would be hailed with es-
pccial JOY by the people of the up coun-
try, for it would put them in closer
touch with the seaboard.
1t is said that such move would
only be the forerunncr Of the operation
of double daily train service between
Columbia and Charleston over the At
lantic Coast Line.
At present the Atlantic Coast Line
runs u train from Charl ston to C"lum-
bia in the morning and back in the
afternoon. This is a very inconveni-
cnt schedule for people along it's line
who wish to go by it to Charleston, as
it involves staying in that city two
ights.-Columbia Record.
We shall hail the day with delight
when This schedule is inaugurated. We
have long wondered why such sched-
ule was not put on before this. and now
that the Coast Line has control of all
the roads from Charleston to Green
vile, there should be rs little delay as
possible. With two trains into Colum-
bia and two out over the Coast Line it
would be very little trouble to extend
the trains on to Grecnville. The night
train would thcu make close connec-
tion at Clinton with the trains to and
from Atlanta over the Seaboard. As
it is now the chcdule over the South
crn from here to Atlanta is much pref
cradle to the Seaboard on account of
the long wait at Clinton, going and
returning. We hope the Coast Line
will put on the double trains as here
indicated.

Magazine Intact.
considerable

1t is learned from what may be con-
sldcred reliable source that divers
sent down on behalf of the United
States to examine the wreck of the
battlcship Maine have made pre-
Emtnary report Of the result OF their
work.
Incredible as 1T may seem, it Is said
that after u partial examination Of the
magazines of the Maine, the divers re-
port that the one in which the cxplo-
sion is supposed to have occurred is in
tact.
According to the informant. the con-
tents OF this magazine arc unharmcd.
Therefore, If this report be true, an en-
tirely different aspect is given TO the
terrific explosion which brought death
and destruction to the Maine.
This report reached Key West. It IL
said, and caused the members OF the
court of inquiry to decide to proceed tc
Havana and begin their investigation
at once, instead Of organizing the cour.
| Ut that place.
The court will make q personal ex
animation Of the wreck and will then
take testimony regarding the loss OF
I the vessel.

The Sonbonrd Air Line Scores Another Point


The Seaboard Air Line has, for a
long time, contendcd that as it could
not get its slcepcrs south Of Atlanta
and north Of Washington, while other
lines were allowed this privilege, it
should, therefore, be allowed u differ
ential rate. This matter was taken uD
recently with the Southeastern Passen-
ger Association, the Trunk Line Asso-
citation and the Association of Virginia
and the Carolinas, and the Seaboard
Air Lines claim for differentials was
allowed.
The tariffs jnst published by the
above associations show standard rates
by all lines between the North and
South, as well as the diffcrential rate
via the Seaboard Air Line, which rate
is So less than that shown by other
lines. The standard rate between New
York and Atlanta is $24; the differen-
tial rate via the Seaboard Air Line is
$21; the rate between Washington and
Atlanta is SIT so, the diffcrential rate
via the Seaboard Air Line is $I4. so.
This difierential applies between all
important cities in the Southeastern
Passenger Associations territory, the
Trunk Line Association tccritOry.
The Seaooard Air Line now has the
matter up with the New England Pas
senger Assoc alton, looking to the pub
fishing Of these ditfcrential rates in
their tariffs. AS soon as this is grant
ed it is understood that the Seaboard
Air Line will then go to the Miss 'ssippi
: Passenger Association with u request
that they publish like rates from their
territory. When this is done the Scn-
board Air Limo will have q diffcrcntial
on all business which it Is competito :
for, cast of the Mississippi river
