THE CITY OF CHARLESTON INAUGUHATES NEW

We earnestly call the attention of every merchant and buyer to the page advertisement carried In this issue. set ting forth the many superior resources of the City of Charleston as the logic al center of importing and distributing of the South.
 The aggressive enterprise which characterizes this city and her every individual dealer. jobber, and importer is rapidly establishing Charleston In the position of leadership to which her natural advantages entitle her; the undisputed leadership as the commer- cial heart and center of the entire South.
 There was a time when the south ern buyer found 1t necessary to travei thousands of miles to some northern metropolis in order to find on display that desirable. comprehensive variety which was so extensive as to include those goods, those styles, etc.. which conditions demanded in the South, as distinct from the demands of other sections of the country. But in the present day, the city of Charleston has splendididly met and corrected this undesirable state of affairs by manu- facture and by direct importation, SC that the buyer from this section may now find right at his door display as extensive and superior in style and quality as is to be found anywhere in the United States and with the assu- rance that in selection, choice has been specialized to meet conditions oi trade and consumption which are pe' culiar to the South.
 Charieston's merchants keep alive in their dealings with customers that old time spirit of courtesy which makes southern trading a pleasure. anordine the purchaser the best of terms. and the assurane of prompt shipments. Before going to any other market. northern or southern, we heartily recommend that every merchant who reads: these lines will do himself the Justice to Investigate the superior offers made him by the enterprising city of Char, lestOn. aoS

Jim Nealey, a negro driver. about Is years of age. employed by the confeo- tionery firm of Hines s& Hyatt.

 The negro. who drives 6 delivery wagon of the firm, was proceeding z south from Dexter Avenue on South Court Street when the horse driven by him became frightened and dashed madly up the incline in the neighbor- hood of Mrs. Carrie Lomax's residence.
 The driver slipped beneath the wagon, caught one leg over the front axle of the vehicle and was drawn a distance of about 200 feet with his head and shoulders dangling against the stone cobbles and his hemmed-in foot knocked about at will by the revolv- ing wheel.
 The screams of the almost concealed negro attracted a large crowd to the scene of the runaway. The endeavors of one or two parties to stop the mad dened animal turned his course to- wards the sidewalk on South Court Street where he dashed the wagon against the brick and stone fence of the John J. Flowers residence. com pletely crumbling the corner. The wrench caused by the contact loosened the negro's leg from the axle and dropped him on the sidewalk. where the crowd administered to him as well as possible.
 Bicycle Policeman Harry O. Evans. who happened toi be near the scene, i'm mediately summoned the patrol wagon of the police department and had Nea- ley removed to his home on South Street Surgeons were called in to examine the drivers wounds, and his injuries were treated.
 The negro was reported yesterday evening to be in an almost critical condition, though 1t is thought quite possible that he will recover from his accident.

 Interchangeable Mileage.
 According to instructions received in Montgomery yesterday by Commercial Agent R. c. Brookes of the Central of Georgia Railway. it is understood that all railroads selling interchangeable mileage books, have decided to instituee a more convenient system of checking baggage.
 On and after July 15. the Central of Georgia Railway announces, and 1t is presumed other roads will follow. that baggage on interchangeable mileage may be checked from coupon stations on the Central lines to stations on other lines. The instructions came from U. c. Halle of Savannah. General Pas senger Agent.
 The travelling public, and especially drummers have heretofore. it is said. experienced much inconvenience in checking their baggage. With inter changeable mileage, they were com pelled to re-check their baggage from one line to the other and 1t is in view of the comment on such conditions that the Central has decided to arrange for Q better system.

COMEDY IN MODERN SMUGGLING
An Incident In Europe Tina. Was Yer,
Funny.

Smuggling in these days is far re.
moved from the grim realities which
characterized 1t 40 years ago. A
charming piece OF light comedy which
quite recently took place in the Girls
ons brings this fact into clear relief.
The game Is now so little dangerous
that girls in their homage can play
1T. even with the glamor of armed con.
hict thrown in.
Two sisters named Bachero, aged
IL and 10. were engaged in getting 2
quantity OF contraband tobacco from
the Swiss TO the Italian side of the
frontier when they were surprised by
two customs officers IN tho Stilfser.
joch Pass.
Instead OF being a ground for alarm,
this was merely the cue for an episode
worthy of light opera. While the elder
of the two sisters pushed on as rapid
ly ms possible with her load, the
younger, Whitehall the GOODNESS OF 4
brigand of romance. posted herself
behind a ledge OF rock and opened fire
upon the officers with n rifle. 1t was
not that she aimed 1T them with any
serious intent. BIoodshed. indeed,
was no part Of tho program. 1t was
enough to burn powder. and plenty
OF 1t. The officers. finding themselves
under fire, naturally took coyer and
returned It.
This went on for about half an hour
without any harm being done, and, in.
deed. so far as the fair girl smuggler
was concerned. without any being in.
tended. Her sole purpose was to keep
the enemy in check till her companion
had got far enough ahead to be secure.
AS soon as she judged that this had
been done, she slung her rifle and.
slipping away By the impossible
mountain tracks familiar only to
smugslers. made good her retreat to
rejoin her sister on the other side OF
the border. Both escaped, leaving the
officers with n painful sense of having

HERE'S AN HONEST INJUN.
Found In Far North, Where He Breaks
In, but Not to Steal.

Many curious instances of the man.
ner In which the honesty OF the In
dams manifests itself are cited in tho
north country Of the Canadian north
west, says a writer in the World to-
day.
II of the tales Is OF a native who,
desiring food and tobacco and blank
cts, broke into the store of a remote
trading post which had been locked
and abandoned for a few weeks while
the white man In charge transacted
business elsewhere. The Indian sup
piled his needs and he left peIts In
payment for what he took and months
later he came back to ascertain IL he
had left enough.
The Indian found a post closed when
when he to it to dispose OF his
skins. Relng unwilling to wait he
forcibly entered and left his pack. but
nothing with 1t to indicate his identi.
ty. Then he retired, fastening the
door as best he could and not until
a !oar later did he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story. the price of the skins
was handed over to him without
question. The accounts OF the white
man had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but a just
one would be made.
An unusual degree of confidence is
reposed in the h~alf-breeds. who IRE
l!eutenants of the white traders. In
Edmonton saw n trader give one OF
his half.brecd employees $3.50 to be
taken to n distant post INT there dis.
tributed as wages to others. The two
shook hands and parted, not to meet
for a year., and the white man said
he was sure not q cent of the money
would fail to reach It's rlghtful dcstI.
nation.
Ii the town of Edmonton Itself hon.
esty seems to vie with hospitality for
the credit OF being the most prominent
trait of the citizens. Scores OF thou
sands OF dollars worth of furs are
stored there in warehouses, which are
seldom or never locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts are
put under lock and key, and then the
purpose is more 10 protect from acci

theft.
