Buy Something Useful.

Many people in giving Christ
mas gifts make the mistake of
buying articles that are Of but
temporary use, being simply a
keepsake or an ornament.
This error can be pleasingly
avoided by visiting the large
hardware and furniture estab-
lishment of j. A. Mahoney. Here
will be found a regular feast Of
Holiday wares that will make
handsome Christmas presents
and at the same time prove to
be something that is useful and
which the receiver will appre-
ciate in the highest sense. In the
display which one will find at
this old and popular emporium,
might be mentioned rockers,
rugs, couches, Davenports, a nice
brass bed, china closet, dresser,
a pair of fine white blankets, a
kitchen cabinet, a set OF dishes,
carving sets, dining table, and
last but not least one of those
beautiful new ranges and heat
ing stoves.
Mr.. Mahoney's business sagac.
ity and experience enable him
to buy in the interest Of his Gus,
toners, and by visiting his es,
tabli5hments during your Christ'
mas shopping you will reap botl
an advantage and pleasure.

SOUTHERN STATESMEN.
Larger and More Independent views on
National Questions.

1t leaves upon the mind a wholesome
impression Of growth in craftsmanship
to hear a Southern Senator like SIM
mons, of North Carolina. ably advocat-
ing an ocean subsidy for the mails and
the merchant marine or on our Pacific
coast, and to hear other Southern Sena-
tors, like Bacon, of Georgia, interspers
ing their argument with keen and in
telligent comment.
For the South, whose interest is so
tremendous in this policy, has been
heretofore especially handicapped In
its consideration by the leadership OF
blind and virulent partisans.
The South which clamors eagerly for
the vast subsidy which the government
pays to the fast mail service running
south from Washington. has been led IN
time past TO denounce bitterly the en-
enlargement which the government
might give to vessels carrying the mails
and developing commerce from the
ports and coasts Of other sections OF
the country.
This absolute inconsistency of atti-
tude is unworthy of great section
which has been so prolific in time past
OF the highest and most honest states
mnnship.
II suggests. then. return to the
larger and mcre independent states
manship of the South when Senator
from the Carolinas rising above the
traditional prejudices of party and sec
ton. frankly and ably champions a
broad national policy which looks
clearly to the welfare and growth OF
interests common to all the States.
We welcome the sanity and ndepend-
ence of Senator Simmons's speech on
the ocean mail service, and we hail it
as sign of the increasing liberty and
individuality which is coming to the
Southern people in their political life.
For now, If ever in their history,
these Gulf and Southeastern States need
independence in their political policies

Editor of The Dispatch:
Sir,-Your editorial In this morning $

Endorsed ny every person in the city.
The other night, while riding east
on Clay Street car on Clay street,
a gentleman boarded the car at Fourth
Street and asked the conductor for a
transfer to the jefferson Hotel, but
was Informed by the conductor that
he could not give him one.
The gentleman informed the con-
ductor that he could not understand
why he refused him. as the Main
street conductor issued him one at
Seventh and Main and he rode to lIls
destination, Fourth and Clay.
The railway company should be made
to issue transfers for the convenience
Of the public. No doubt the gentleman
left the city feeling that he had been
stung.
What right has the company TO ex-
act 10 cents from Fourth, Fifth OF
Sixth Streets on Clay street to the
Jefferson Hotel, and only cents from
Seventh and Clay to the same place?
1t is a discrimination against peo-
pie living en- or near Clay street and
should be corrected at once.
The company should be made to is
sue transfer west at Seventh and
Main to passenger boarding a car
on Clay street, between Harrison and
Seventh Streets. JUSTICE.
