over to first class hotel and re-
minded me that the meal would
cost ten dollars and invited me to
his office after the meal was finished.
When / arrived at the hotel | asked
for meals for five men. The old
inn keeper informed me that he
would be glad to serve me, that his
plates were ten dollars each and few
soldiers were able to enjoy such
sumptuous fair. I handed him the
ten dollars. He seated Iffc and left
and said servants would attend to
my wants. In short time l was
invited to his mess hall where /
found pretty square meal. After
some little time, when I was about
winding up the meal, the old inn
keeper made his appearance and
asked for the other four men, and
said that was due him forty dol
lars az / had consumed all that was
prepared for five men. AS was in
a hurry left him cursing his SER
want for entertaining me so hugely.
Leaving the hotel called at the
officers office by promise and found
the Office badly furnished. The
best scat that he could offer me was
barrel. About the time got him
interested with the many battles
that l had participated in, the bar
rel head gave way and Of course I
went in behind it. On account OF
the many nails that had becn driven
into the sides Of the old barrel I
could not be pulled out and the
officer had to resort to saving hoops
before could gain my freedom
from his darncd old furniture.

RURAL ROUTE PACKAGE SYSTEM.

Post Master-General Wynnc has
recommended the establishment of
q postal rate OF three cents o pound
on packages not exceeding five
pounds mailed at post Offices from
which a rural route starts. He con-
tends that a parcels-post would be
self-sustaining. That the cheap de-
livery OF packages by the rural route
carriers might in some instances
effect the business of express COM
panies, but it would only be in a
very small way. II such a system
were established throughout the ru-
raj districts it would be Of as great
value and accommodation to the
people as that Of having their mail
delivered. The government is pro-
portionately well paid for the serv-
ice; the people on rural routes are
benefited. Such a law would lay
the foundation for q much needed
general parcels post law. authoriz-
ing the transportation of parcels by
post at cheaper rate than any
other system now prevailing.

NOBILITY OF PURPOSE.

a mans soul is his real person

nobler instincts and impulses, to
pursue the right and avoid the
wrong, in every act and deed
through life is within itself charac-
teristic Of the nobility Of purpose.
The simpler life is far more con-
ducive to the accomplishment Of the
better things Of life, as the peculiar
environments and sphere OF simple
life inspires an unsclfish devotion
to duty and the upbuilding of man
kind. A mind and heart that re-
ceives live impulses from the inner
promptings to better living, and not
swayed by the things without, does
not harbor envy, but seeks to in
culcate it's beauty and happiness,
born OF spirit of philanthropy and
brotherly love. 1t needs only a
resolute mind to put into practice
every zane, rational and conscien-
tious impulse. A consumation

Lay aside tho weight, the sin that

to forever shut out that pathetic
story of incident upon lost op-
portunity, and leave for yourself
that imperishable monument, which
fidelity, nobility of purpoee must
build.

JONESVILLE NEWS.
Sad Death Of Mrs. Leila Littlejohn.
Other News.

Jonesville, Dec. 26th.-Our
Christmas has been rather dull and
quiet. No accidents have happened.
A few violaters have been locked
up and a small rucus or too has
made up the docket for the Christ
mas Of 1904 in Jonesville.
1t being between the outgoing and
incoming Methodist preachers there
was no preaching at the Methodist
church and no appointments at the
other churches the town had only
Sunday School services in their
churches.
Christmas eve trade was good
with the merchants, although the
evening was quite unfavorablc. The
crowd today is large on the streets
and trade holds good with the mer-
chants, but ten cents cotton, or
even nine cents would have made
trade much better.
Last Wednesday morning Mrs.
Leila Littlejohn died at her home
on Church street and her remains
were buried Thursday evening at
our village cemetery beside her hus-
band DR.. X. NJ. Littlcjohn who
died in May five years ago. Mrs.
Littlejohn was the daughter OF the
late Rev. J. Starks Bailey and
granddaughter of Mr.. Ephriam
Able, the latter Of York, county.
She was well known in Union
county, having taught school in
several different neighborhoods and
she was one of the best lady teach
ers Of her day. Mrs. Littlejohn
had lived IN Jonesvillc about twenty
five, years and her home was we'll
kept and was one of comfort and
pleasure for her children for whom
she spared no pains to bring up in
the nurture and admonition of the
Lord and to give a good education.
She has six children, two sons and
four daughters, three daughters
grown, one graduate of Chicora
College, Grcenville, and another
who will graduate at the same col
lcge next June, one son at Clemson
and the other in the graded school
here. Mrs. Littlejohn's health had
been failing for some time and she
was conscious that her life would
soon end, but the end really came
sooner than she expected and there
fore her children at college and one
of teaching school were not sum
moncd home until the day before
che died and then she was 80 near
death that she did not recognize
them, which makes it all the more
sad. Mrs. Littleiohn's trouble was
OF the kidneys and stroke OF pa
ralysis brought the premature end.
She carried over three thousand
dollars insurance besides two plan
tatons in the country, her home in
Jonesville and considerable bank
stock.
| All our boys and girls who have
been off attending college and teach
ing school are at home for the holi-
days except Misses Grace Littlejohn
and Grace Farr.
Rev. David Hucks will move to
Heath Springs, his new field OF
labor, tomorrow.
Mr.. j. Wesley Scott is quite un-
well at his home in the country.
The family of Mr.. ]. d. Jefferies
has been and is yet greatly afflicted
having first had the measels fol-
lowed by the whooping cough and
little girl now has pneumonia.

CITY ECONOMY.

This il the last issue Of TIE
TINES for the year 1901. During
this entire year THE TIMES has not
been given to ccnsure or complaint
Of the city government. The pres
cnt administration nor the one pre-
cecding it were characterized by
economic or judicious expenditure
of the public funds. When We say
this we do not mean to charge ex-
travagancc on tho part of either.
When we look at the present condi-
ton of the streets we are at a loss
to know how 50 much money could
be spent and do w no more good
in the way of building and repair
ing the streets. We advocate the
permanent building Of streets, but
think it unwisc to spend too much
at any one place; this calls for a
more iudicious supervision and ex-
penditurc. We hope that next
years work will show up better
and more to the credit Of the city
fathers. A more economic ant
ludicious management is expected
by the people, and in this way only
can the city authorities satisfy tht
demands of the tax payers.

Sketch of Her Life.

Isabella II, Maria Isabella Louisa. ex-
queen of Spain; born in Madrid October 10.
1890 Her father, Ferdinand VII, had been
induced by the influence of his wife to is
sue the pragmatic decree revoking the Sa-
lie law and at his DEATH September %, 1888,
his eldest daughter, then a child, was pro-
claimed queen under the regency of her
mother, Maria Christina. This event proved
the signal for civil warfare, as the claims
of the late kings brotherSDon Carlos, were
warmly supported by certain classes of the
people. The war of succession lasted seven
years, until the cortes confirmed the claims
of Isabella by exiling Don Carlos and his
adherents.
In 1910, the queen regent, find ng * i'm
possible to carry on the government with
out making concession TO public feeling
for which she was indsposed, retired to
France, resigning her power into the hands
of Espartero. whom she had been previous
ly compelled to summon to the head of af-
fairs. She was declared by decree of the
cortes to have obtained her majority Octo-
Der 15, 1s43.
She married her cousin, Don Francisco
d. Assist, October 10 1876 and re.gned until
on September 10, 1858, revolution broke
out, which was speedily followed by the
forma ton of republican provisional gov
ernment and the fight of Queen Isabella to
France.
On June q. 1870 she renounced her claims
to the Spanish throne in favor of her eldest
son, the Prince of Asturias. After eight
years of exile she returned to Spain.

them.
The papal nuncio was summoned to ad-

not come to France for the funeral, as he
did not come for the funeral of his grand
father, KING. Francis, who died in April,
1902.
The deceased queen had been~one of the
conspicuous figures of Paris since she left

Lgious works.

LOCAL REPUBLICANS
DISSENSION AMONG THE ANTI
CHASE FACTION.
John F. Cook Named as the Represen-
tative Of the Colored
Race.

Local republicans are more than busy dis
cussing the different tickets nominated or
suggested for delegates to the national con-
vention. In fact, overtime work is being
done in this direction. For the colored dele
gate a new and formidable candidate loom
ed up on the horizon today in the person OF
Mr.. John F. Cook.
A large number of representative coIored
citizens have announced themselves as dis
satisfied with all of the colored candidates
SO rar put forward. AS one of them said
To-Day, Neither Patterson. Chase nor Poe
ranks up to the standing desired by the
colored people for their representative We
expect to have fair election, and we want
the very best man we can get to go to
chicago. With this In view, we have de-
cided to support Mr.. John F. Cook He
stands for the best in the colored race"
The people back of Mr. Cook make ND a
strong organization. Besides Mr. Cook they
have 1ndorsed James +. Cobb as alternate
and Mr.. w: P. Van Wickle as the white
delegate, with DR.. Wm Tindall as alter
nate. The ticket, it is understood, will also
support Gen. Harries for national commit
teeman.
Mr.. Patterson's friends have not been in
active, and today exhibited letters from
prominent local republicans congratulating
their leader on his success and pledging to
him their support From Mr.. Patterson's
camp comes the argument that Mr.. Cook
can hardly be named as delegate in view
of the fact that he is now a member of the
committee on rules and regulations for the
approaching primaries. This objection is
not considered serious by the friends of Mr..
Cook Mr.. Cook was for many years COL
lector of taxes for the District.
The Seventeenth District Roosevelt Club
last night indorsed Leo Simmons and AL
bert Sillers for delegate and alternate to
the national convention. The Endorsement
of colored candidates to go on the ticket
with Simmons and Silers went over for
future action. Here, too, the discussion
brought out rivalry between Patterson
and Cook.
The Roosevelt Campaign Republican Club
of the third district has organized with
the election of the following officers: Presi-
dent, William A. Beason vice president,
George Green; secretary, James A. Smack
UNI; treasurer, William Fleet; sergeant-at-
arms, William H. Hunter The club will
hold a mass meeting next week, when 1t
will indorse candidates for delegates to
Chicago.
Dr. w s. Richardson and James W. Poe
were indorsed for delegates, and Coleman
Horner and c.. c. Clark for alternates at a
meeting of republicans at 1016 Az street
southwest last night.

TO SEND GREAT FORCE
SIXTEEN AMERICAN WARSHIPs
WILL GO TO MEDITERRANEAN.
Three SquadIons Will Be Seen There
Vessels to Visit the East Coast
of Africa.

The United States will have sixteen war
ships in the Mediterranean sea for short
time in the coming summer. forming prob
ably the strongest aggregation of American
naval strength ever assembled in those
waters. The fleet will comprise the battle
ship squadron of the North Atlantic fleet,
the South Atlantic squadron and the regu-
lar European squadron. The presence of
the battle-ship squadron and the South At
lantfc squadron in European waters will
be only temporary. The summer cruise
of the battle-ship squadron this year will
extend to the western waters of the Medi-
terranean, where, after short stay, it
will return to its regular station on the
north Atlantic coast.
The vessels of all three squadrons are
now in the West Indies and off the coast
of Florida, where they have been since the
completion of the recent maneuvers near
Culebra, and 1t is expected that they will
make the voyage to Europe in company.
starting about the end of April. The
South Atlantic squadron will merely pass
through the Mediterranean for the purpose
of visiting ports on the east coast of
Africa as well as those on the southern
and western coasts of that continent, prior
to taking it's regular station on the east
coast Of South America. 1t has been
many years since the American flag was
displayed in African and Madagascar ports
and the Navy Department considers the
present an opportune time for showing its
war ships to that part of the world.
Rear Admiral Chadwick who was Admiral
SIMPSONS chief of staff on the New York
during the Spanish war, will have command
of the South Atlantic squadron on this ex-
tended cruise. By a singular combination of
circumstances he will have as his flagship
tie armored cruiser Brooklyn which was
the flagship of Rear Admiral Schley during
the Spanish war. The other vessels of the
squadron are the cruiser Atlanta and the
gunboats Marietta and Castine The At
lanta was detached from the Caribbean
squadron for the purpose of making this
cruise, taking the place of the gunboat
achias, which has been transferred to the
Caribbean squadron. 1t is understood that
Mr. Poultney Bigelow, the author, will
make the voyage on the Brooklyn as the
personal guest of Admiral Chadwick
