UNPARALLELED HEROISM.
Brave and Daring Deed of Captain
j. w. WhiteIey and His Family and
Two Men at Castle Pinckney-They
Risked their Lives to Save $4,000
of United States

One of the greatest deeds of heroism
We ever read about is recorded in the
Charleston News and Courier of June
eth, and the chief hero was Captain j.
w. Whitley, who is we'll known and
highly esteemed in Wilmington. He
was here a few ago to inspect the Fry
ingpan Shoals lightship and while in our
city he made a host of friends who are
proud of him.
At Castle Pinckney, in Charleston
harbor, is a small warehouse in which is
stored between 10000 and $1,000 gallons
of kerosene oil, used in the beacons and
on the vessels of the Sixth light house
district, which includes Wilmington.
Shortly after / o'clock last Friday
morning, Captain Whiteley, who is
keeper of the establishment, was arous-
ed by the barking of two faithful dogs.
Uponl ooking out a WIndow in his bed
room overlooking the oil house, he dis
cVered that the house was on fire. Hast
lily arousing his wife n children and
a couple Of men employed at the sta
ton, they went out md after a hard
fight of three hours the flames were ex-
tinguished and something like $175,00O
worth Of United States government
property saved from destruction. AS it
was the loss only amounted to about
$500.
This deed of noteworthy heroism was
one by Captain Whitley, Mrs. White
ley. their five children ranging from Z
to Is years, and the two men at the sta
ton. When the brave fire-fighters
reached the scene the flames were al
ready forcing their way through the
crevices about the doors n windows
Without an instant's hesitation Captain
Whitley and his gallant band of fol-
lowers rushed inside and began their
perilous labors. They staked their ives
against more than a quarter Of & mil
lion of dollars and Won. Had an eX-
plosion occurred, and it was likely to
occur at any moment, neither the
keeper, his wife, children or helpers
would have lived to tell the story.
In the twenty years OF Captain White
ley's service at Castle Pinckney, says
the News and Courier, he and his men
have saved ffty-four lives and per-
formed other deeds of bravery and
nerve.
+: The Messengers cap is off n gone
up into the air for CAPTAIN Whitley
and his heroines and heroes. The
United states government ought to we'll
reward such daring and faithful SER
vice.

SOUTHERN SCOOPS 1T.
A. V. s. w. Railroad Will Not Be
Extended Through Dawson.

The Southern Railway has purchas-
ed the Atlantic, Valdosta g. Western
railroad, extending from Jacksonville,
Fla, to Valdosta, Ca, ITO miles. The
purchase was made by President Sam
uel Spencer, of the Southern railway,
who was in Jacksonville few days
ago. The aggregate mileage of the
Atlantic, Valdosta & Western Is 1856
miles, which includes spurs and
branches. 1t also owns valuable ter
minals at Jacksonville.
This road was headed for some point
on the Chattahoochee river via Daw-
son, the stockholders, at meeting
held in Valdosta sometime ago, resolv-
ing to extend the line in this direction.
1t is not likely that the Southern will
bring it here now, however, as it has
no line of its own to connect with at
this point.

Brain-FoOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispellel the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles and
still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be its nutriment
is destroyed by indigestion or dyspep-
STA. You must prepare for their APP
pearauce or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, the favorite medicine of
the healthy millions. A few doses
aid digestion, stimulate the liver to
healthy action, purify the blood and
make you feel buoyant and vigorous.
You can get this reliable remedy at
Bell & Baldwin's. Get Green's special
almanac.
