"wHEN THIS CRUEL WAR IN OVER

A wise man of Israel said: There is
nothing new under the sum-" but every
body don't know everything, and, there
fore, there are things that some people
suppose to be new that others know to be
old. 1t is to both the wise and the other
wise that would speak. During the Con-
federate war money was plenty, and good
things scarce. A man went to market with
a basketful of "blue backs,'' and brought
his purchases home in his pocket! Some
people invested in Confederate bonds and
boarded Confederate bills and bought Sc
questrated stocks. There were some. how
ever, who did not lay up their treasures
in that way, but invested every dollar
they could get hold of in real estate. When
"the cruel war was over" the latter hal
something that was worth money and
the others had something which was
worth nothing. There are families in this
city to-day living on incomes from prom
erty which might have been represented

DRAINAGE BAD IN PLACES.

Water Stands on Parts of New Paw
ing on DraytOn street.
The Southern Asphalt Paving Company
may find trouble with its Drayton street
paving on account of bad drainage on the
newly paved street, especially between
Broughton and McDonough streets
1t has been noticed that the grade in
many places is not such as to carry of the
water, which gathered in small puddles in
places. Just after the rain yesterday the
city hands found it necessary at the inter-
section of both Hull and McDonough
streets, TO use their shovels in scooping the
water from the paving. Apparently it will
not run off in these places, which may ne
cessitate putting in cess-pools.

\ meeting of the stockholders of the

letter from Lieutenant Commander Arnold,
United States Navy asking if the steam
pilot boat j. II. Estil could be bought,
and at what price.

it would be difficult at this time to replace
1t with a suitable vessel TO look after the
commerce of the port An insurmomtable
obstacle to the sale of the steamer, how
ever. was discovered in the fact that the
steamer is under charter TO the pilots,
some Of whom are not stockholders, for
term of five years, two of which have
still TO run, and that the company has no
control over the boat nor could not sell it
without the consent Of each pilot Interest,"

reviewed the historical,facts thatSpain

touched on the rich resources Of the
island and how by misrule it had
brought on this war Of exterminatiou.
He appealed 70 the patriotism of
the American people 70 give for this
starving people, and closed by telling
a story Of the little boys essay on
Patrick Henry. Itran thus: Patrick
Henry was lazy when boy, when he
become man he got married, but was
soon sorry for it and then wrote "Giye
me liberty or give me death"

arms and give them freedom. This
nation OF ours is slow, but like the
mills OF the goods is exceeding sure.
He thought our president was wise
and discreet and that ia due time he
would do the right thing 10 regard to
this burning question. After awhile
our consclences will be so pricked that
we will step up TO the portals Of power

He thought the belligerent rights Of

aged them they could not have estab-
