New Year
Reflections

In doing your buying next
year be sure and get solid
worth at every turn. Price
is only one of the things to be
considered, for if you fail to
get the quality you simply
throw away good money-no
matter how small the amount
may be. Therefore our policy
is and always has been to sell
the right quality at the right
price and you find invariab bly,
that a lower price than ours
means also a corresponding
lower quality. 1t is the com
bination of prices and quality
in which this store is strong.
Nough sed
Wishing all Happy New
Year and hoping to merit the
continued good will of our
many friends and customers
we beg to remain yours faith
fully.

Rescued 100 Bathers.

Atlantic City, Aug. 20.-One hundred
bathers, whoseli were imperiled, were
rescued BY eight life guards here yester-
day. Thrilling and exciting scenes
marked the achievement.
This resort was probably never in a
greater state of pandemOnium, and
only the great courage, heroism and tact
displayed prevented a serious loss OF
life.
In the night the sea washed great
depression in front of New York avenue
and the regular contingent Of morning
bathers we're in the water by 10 o'clock.
More than 100 suddenly found them
selves within this depression. Finding
conditions not as they expected them
the bathers were frantic with alarm iii Il
moment. Shrieks and screams and calls
for help attracted the life guards and the
thousands on the shore as we'll Eight
of the guards were prompt in responding
to cries for aid, although they realized
that it was at their peril that they went
in among that seething, shrieking mass
OF humanity. The reign of excitement
until the guards had thrown Gordon
around the depression in the beach re-
quired the presence of half dozen
policemen.

CHILL ARP" ILL.

Major C. H. Smith (Bill Arp,") is
at the point Of death at his home at
Gainesville, Ga. His physician does
not think there is any chance of re-
coyery.
To the people of the South the writ
ings of ''Bil Arp" have appealed with
peculiar force, for he has been of them
and among them. His intense devotion
to the institutions amid which he
has spent his life has permeate1
nearly all his writings. Born
at Lawrenceyille. Ga, II years ago.
he was graduated at Franklin College,
Athens, at the age of % years, and
studied law. Removing to Rome, Ca,
he practiced his profession there many
years, aud later removed to Gainesville.
During the civil war deserved the entire
four years, becoming a major on the
staff Of Brig. Gen. G. I. Anderson, of
the Third Georgia. 1t is said that the
real "Bill Arp" was country wag at
Rome, Ga, an odd genius, uneGucat-
ed and unkempt, but true-hearted
man and patriot. Major Smith wrote
a humorous criticism of President Lin
coins first call for volunteers. Arp
happened near when it was read. After
it was finished he said to the Major
esquire, them's my sentiments. Put
my name TO it," The Major did so, and
subsequent articles over that name
made the writer's fame. The Major in
the days of his first fame was the
humorous mouthpiece of the South. He
put into comic phrase-which yet had
a serious relevancy-the Confederate at
titude toward the issues that threatened
the nation. His letters were read in
both North and South and helped to
throw a CLEAN OF sunshine over the hor-
r0rs Of the war Besides his writing for
southern newspapers, his books include
"Bill Apps Letters" "Bill APPS Scrap
book 4" "The Farm and Fireside," "A
Side Show of the Southern Side of the
War;" "Fireside Sketches" and "Geor-
gia as Colony and State"

Reliance is about two miles from the
outer mark.
2I9 D. m The racers are standing
along the starboard tack, but are max
ing little or no Roadway, In the pitch
of the sen, they continually spill the
wind out of their sails. Reliance, how
ever, is making the better Roadway in
the dol1rums.
1892 p. MT is said that leading
boat always has the best of the luck and
today's race proves no exception. A
puff of wind from the east caught
Shamrock and headed her of, this being
the second time that she has been headed
off in the last twenty minutes. The
smart northwest blow which is blowing
off this point, has not reached the racers
as yet, but the race home will be a
broad reach.
Highlands, 2:42 p. m.-Reliance and
Shamrock are still pitching about in the
doldrums on the starboard tack, with the
American well to windwsrd.
2:57.-The wind off this point is
northwest. Reliance has a lead of 9
mile and half.
3p. m.-With an hour and half t
finish the race, and the outer mark moi
yet turned, there seems but little likeli
hood of the race being finished within
the time limit.
sos p. m.-Reiance was put about
on the starboard tack at 1907 and il
looks as though she might be able t.
reach the mark on this tack.
S:l7 p. m.--Nothing short of half
gale of wind and dead fiat sea which
would be phenomenal condition, can
make it possible for Reliance to finish
within the time limit.
4 p. m.-The race has been declared
off. The Shamrock has not turned the
stake The wind died out.

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. 20, 1908.

TIVE GREATEST event in the sporting
world began today with the race be-
tween the Reliance and Shamrock Ill
for the Americas cup. They are the two
fastest yachts ever built. This year 5
defender can beat the defenders OF all
nreyious contests, and the challenger,
the best production Of the best designer
in England, is decidedly faster than her
predecessors. The race for the cup,
which has been in this country for nifty
two wears. and to regain which English
men Irishmen and Canadians have made
twelve unsuccessful efforts since 1870, will
be made by two yachts, which so lar
surpass their predecessors that it seems
impossible that the future should i'm
nrove mon them. OF all the English
vachtsmen who have come here after
that cup. not one has made himself so
popular with Americans, or has shown
finer sportsmanship, than Sir Thomas
Iip,on. who is now making his third Ell
fort In reference to Sir Thomas
Upton the Philadelphia Record says
"America could lose the cup to
him with less distress than it could lose
it to any one who preceded him, but the
only thing that can be confidently pre-
dieted about this series of races is that
with breezes good for ten or twelve knots
thew will be the finest yacht races ever

the treaty by the Colombian Senate. Inc
present generation will probably not see the
canal except on paper, although that it Will
be constructed eventually but few doubt.
Growing developments in all quarters Of the

pensable to commerce, and the millions which

THE CONTROVERSY between the Book
binders Union of Washington and
William A. Miller. assistant foreman in
the government printing Office, has
broken out airesh and a set Of charges
prepared by the union against Miller
have been handed to Public Printer
Palmer. 1t is said that the charges are
mainly directed against Miller's personal
character and relate to acts said to have
been committed as far back as twenty
five years ago. 1t was hoped that moth
ing further would be heard of the Mil
Ter case and doubtless the large majority
of persons employed in the government
printing Office were averse to digging 1t
up. But there are always some in all
organizations who seem to grow fat upon
contentious and who never "let up"
when once started.

PRISONER SHACKLED DETECTIVE. -
Albert Ecklund, alias George johnson,
who was captured at Rawlins, Wyoming.
and was being taken back to Chicago to
answer to the charge Of grand larceny,
effected a remarkable escape from De
tective William Marsden. Marsden left
Rawlins Tuesday night with Ecklund,
and to make sure of his man shackled
him to seat in the smoking compart-
ment of chair car While Marsden
was sleeping beside his prisoner Ecklund
went through the detectives pockets,
secured the keys to the shackles, re-
leased himself and then shackled the Off
Ger to the steam pipes Having relieved
the officer of his weapon and other prop
erty, Ecklund left the train at Laramie.
Marsden was not awakened by the con-
ductor until Cheyenne was reached,
when he called for assistance. As Mars
den had absolutely nothing on his per
son to prove that he was not prisoner,
the trainmen would not release him.
The railroad authorities telegraphed to
Chicago for instructions, and, when the
train reached Sydney, Marsden was final
" released from his predieament. Last
night he passed through Cheyenne en-
route to Laramie to try to effect the re-
capture of his prisoner.

THERE is at least one man in this
country who has had his quantum sutiicit
of yacht races and what he considers is
their attending evil. A day or two
after Sir Thomas Upton arrived in New
York he received a letter from an Irish
man living on Staten Island wishing him
luck. The writer says that when the
Shamrock | came to this country in
1899 his wife presented him with son,
and two years later, the day after the
Shamrock II arrived, she gave birth to
a daughter. Just at the time the Sham
rock III anchored in American waters
another boy arrived The Irishman
hopes Sir Thomas will not come again.

THE WAY the money market OF the
whole country is manipulated and made
to serve the interests of a few men IN
New York is well told in an article pub
lished in another column. Such power
in the hands of a few men, which can
be welded to make or break, must be
viewed with alarm by all conservative
citizens and what the end will be the
Lord only knows. When the President
of the United States and the heads Of
the finance committees Of Congress adj
nit that there is hopeless doubt whether
any effective measure can be enacted in
to law to relieve the threatened money
stringency, or to avert the menacing
public danger arising from the concen-
tration of capital in the hands of a few
men in New York, then affairs in this
country have come to sad condition in
deed.
