SIX WEEKS At THE CAPE
THE LOG OF THE COUNTY OF
MERIONETH,
Terrible Experience in the Stormy
Seas of the South--A Most RE-
markable Record.

The log of the British bark County
of Merioneth, which arrived Friday,
contains as remarkable a record of sue
cessful lighting through storms and
danger as ever came into the port OF
Honolulu. She was six weeks around
the Horn, huffeted by hurricanes and
squalls days and night.
The heavy weather began on August
31st as the vessel was approaching the
Horn, and from that day until the 1th
of October when she cleared the dan
gerous waters of the far southern cape,
she was almost continually full of wat
er and It was work night and day for
the officers and men. The following eX
tracts from the log are samples of the
terse records made day after day by
Mate Jones.

PRESIDENT HENRY WALTERS.
Augusta Chronicles Pleasant Refer
enc to the President of the Atlantic
coast Line.

The following extract is taken from
the Augusta Chronicle of The oath nst.
Henry Walters, Esq, president of
the great Atlantic Coast Line, now in
Augusta, though prematurely grey
haired, is still a comparatively young
a being just SO years OLD, thai
golden prime Of life, so happily describ-
ed by Victor Hugo, as the youth Of
age President Walters was highly
educated in the United States and Eu-
rope, at the best classical and technical
universities, and also voluntarily in
railway shops. He is master not only
of the high finance and diplomacy Of
railway systems, but an expert in me-
chanism. There is no detail of the rail-
way business that he is not practically
familiar with, and so is a marvellously
skilled man in his profession. He owns
personally the controlling interest in
the Atlantic Coast Line, whose securi-
ties are net on the market. Mr.. Wal
tiers wishes it to be absolutely under
stood that, While c~ultivating harmonf-
Gus business relations, such as traffic
warrants, the Coast Line, in no sense,
allied with the Southern, but is its &C
meet in the same territory. A more in
dependent line than the Coast Line
does not exist and it asks public pat
ronage on it's merits and in no other
Way.'

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay county, W. Va,
struck his leg against a cake OF
ice in such a manner as to bruise it
severely. It became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and two
and a half gallons Of whiskey in bath
ing it, but nothing CAV any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his
leg would have had to be an-putated.

bruises and rheumatism. For sale by

is now without rail communication.
