For Assistant Secretary of Stat e

Washington, April Cocoon
corning Professor JOHN B. MOORE
of Columbia University, nominated
by the President to be Assistant
Secretary of state, it is objected
that he did not show himself as /.
very good American at the time Of
the Venezuela incident. Some of
his dissertations upon the Monroe
Doctrine will be remembered with
pleasure by the editor Of the Even
ing Post and without pleasure by
almost everybody else.
But that counts for little now.
Professor MOORE has grown three
years older since then, and per-
haps his ideas of the relations of
this republic to the rest of the
Western Hemisphere have profted
by the educational influence of
events
1t is safe to assume that, at the
present time, President MCKINLEY
is picking out men for important
posts under his Administration
with extraordinary care, and with
proper regard not only for their
records, but also for the posslbili-
ties of future usefulness that are
in them.

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify the blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous ailments
which are so prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating in the blood ali
winter, and right now is the time
to get rid of@them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fy the system, toning up and
Strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now arc
comparatively safe all summer;
but TO neglect it is to invite some
form Of sickness which is 30 COM
mon during the trying hot season.
It is now that course of Swift's
Specific

will accomplish so much toward
rendering the system capable of
resisting the evil influences which
are SO liable to attack it during
the summer when sickness is so
abundant. It is the best tonic
and system-builder on the market,
because it is q real blood remedy
and is made solely to search out
and remove all impurities, and
supply an abundance of pure, rich
and red blood. s. S. s. is made
exclusively of roots and herbs,
and is Natures own remedy. It
is purely vegetable, and is the
only blood remedy guaranteed TO
contain no potash, mercury o.
other mineral. Be sure to get s..

good.

Merehead City to post i.
Yesterday morning. the 9th,

more, we boarded the naphtha

Sarah Davis world famed hostel

Sprirgle, for Morehead City en-
route to New Berne, when the
north wind at a 40 mile an hour
gale struck our good ship, and
though we fought manfuly, the
prop eIler full half of the time
being out of the water, we were
surely being carried to Bogue-
Marsh, opposite Fort Macon.
The tide coming in, we knew
that our craft would be dashed
to pieces, The anchor was thrown
overheard, but to our consterna
ton and horror, our brave launch
was anything but fast. By this
time the waters beat over US aud
came through the cabin sash, and
he rain was descending in tor
ents. our ship all the time
'dragging anchor" until we were
gearing hard against the marsh.
Capt Springle rushed on to the
marsh opposite the fort, bes
ing separated by creek, and
signaled the forces from Fort
Macon, but he returned saying
he was unable to get their atten-
ton, as they were all indoors
from the prevailing storm. We
had given up all hope, intending
to stay by the boat on the marsh.
in the now almost vain hope
that some one would come for US
before our boat was dashed to
pieces, or the tide swept over
the marsh aid we we're carried
out to sea. The men at the fort,
however. had seen our distress
signal add with life boat five
nrave men were fast approach
ing US had seen them and had
notified the crew and passengers.
Right here I want to say I had
seen pictures of men in the face
Of storm, seeking and risking
their own lives for those of
strangers, but to realize it as
they rush past almost insur-
mountaole breakers, as the sea
is lashed into fury and the
clouds have turned loose tor
rents, accompanied by hail, the
scene oeggars description. How
ever, these five brave men: F.
F. Longest, Sam Willis, Walter
Willis, Abram Darling and Henry
Jones, colored, brought US op>

tai. where we were met by Col.
F. d. Perry, son of Capt B. L.
Perry, who used to be the pro-
prie'or of the Atlantic Hotel.

you arc South Carolinians; you
