Ames of the Sixth Massachusetts, reei-
ment, with his brother, Adelbart
Ames, Jr., returned from Port Rico to-
day III an interview with the Asso-
clated Press correspondent tonight
Col. Ames made the following state
ment with regard to the colonelcv of
the Sixth regiment: Il have been with
the officers of the Sixth regiment for
six months and know them personally
TO be equal to regulars in the service
ana tully capable of eiecting their colo
mel. Whatever action they NAV take
IN regard to this matter VIII be entirely
satisfactory to me-"
Col. Ames spoke Interestingly on the
conditions existing in Porto Rico. He
said that much dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed because Of the heavy duties
imposed on the products for export such
as cotfee and tobacco. The exports of
these commodities were formerly an
important factor in Porto Rican in
dustries, and so heavy is the present
DUTY that the planters are at a loss to
know what to do with their products.

sulting from the inability to export
with profit has had bad effect upon

STRIPES For BLIND TIGERs.-Rep
resentative Jno. II. Wharton, of Lau-
rens, wants convict stripes put on
dispensary violators. When asked II
he had any bills of general interest to
introduce at the coming meeting OF
the legislature, he said
II shall introduce a bill to abolish
fines for violations of the dispensary
law; leaving the judges no aiterna
tive save to impose Imprisonment as Il
punishment. The present system SIM
ply permits the blind tiger to pay
fine and continue in business. In 9th
er words bis fines are license fees 'and
low license at that"
"Do you favor sending men to the
chain gang and putting stripes on
them for selling whisky illegally ?"
"Certainly; the violations must he
stopped. That is the object. The
present system does not exterminate
the tiger The law should he en-
forced and the devilment must be
stopped. That is why l want the fine
system abolished" ."-Greenville News.

LIQUOR ON TRANSPORTS In Savan.
nah, few days ago, US the result of q
quarrel between subordinate officers
over the division of profits, it devel'
oped that a considerable amount ol
liquor is regularly sold to soldiers on
transports. Stringent orders have been
issued from Washington in regard Ia
carrying and selling liquors on the
transports to soldiers. The sale oi
liquors at one time must have come
close TO the verge of scandal. Near
ly every one of the transports was
running bar and getting rid of COLI
siderable liquor to the soldiers, some
thing said TO have been unheard ol
before OIL a military transport. On
some of the transports the charge was
made that there were exhorbitant
prices and big profits in the business
for the stewards or somebody. The
selling of liquor appears to have run
on for sometime before the general
officers got their eyes on il, and then
there was a speedy stop put to it.

Big Syndicate About to Buy the seaboard
Air Line.

p .s
A report concerning :the proposed
purchase of the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad company, parent system o.
the Seaboard Air Line system, is off,
cially confirmed, says an Associated
Press dispatch of Wednesday from
Baltimore. The syndicate which has
bid for the property, subject to the ap.
proval of the owners of three-fourths
of the stock, pooled with Messrs. Louis
McLane and Leigh r. Watts, is com.
posed of Baltimore, Richmond and
New York capitalists. -
John Shelton Williams, president OF
the Georgia and Alabama Railroad
company, is the moving spirit in the
transaction, and it is understood that
he will be president of the company
when the control is transferred to the
syndicate.
The price agreed upon is 5000 a
share, which is SIS share more than
was offered for controlling interest in
the property two years ago by Thomas
F. Ryan.
A member Of the syndicate suid to-
day that it is the intention of the new
owners to- continue the company as an
independent system, though he. admit
ted that "a line might ultimately be
built from Atlanta, the seaboard's
southern terminus, to Montgomery,
where connection would be made with
the Georgia and Alabama. The dis
lance. between these points is l75 miles.
This would make u through line from
Washington to Jacksonville.

Correspondence of the s1Yorkyille Enquirer.
.HooDTowN, January 5.-With the
passing of the old year many a fond
hope has doubtless been buried with
the past, many aspirations failed o
accomplishment, disappointments, sor
rows and heartaches in many whose
lot has not been as fortunate as that o
Others. With the opening of the new
year, let all allow, as far as possible
the 'sdead past btry the dead" stri
wing hopefully, manfully onward te
greater achieyements and higher
heights of progress and prosperity.
The holidays passed off very quietly
here. Sociables and parties for the
young folks, few big dinners for the
older ones as well, and the annua
visit of Santa Claus to the children
about sums it up. Social visiting
should, of course, be included in the
above category.

for the holidays. She expects to re-
turn soon.
