There was no day Waterman and De-

box and gold scabbard. The loss was
placed at over $1,000. and a reward OF

but they were recovered in some mys-
FERROUS manner in Baltimore. Soon after

REPORT ON cocA-coLA.

In last weeks issue of this paper we
printed letters from the State Chemist
OF Georgia and the assistant chemist
of the University OF Texas, who have
made analyses of the popular temper
ance drink showing that COCA-COLA
contains no cocaine or other injurious
ingredient. We print below copy Of
a letter from Prof. Burney of South
Carolina College. Dozens of chemists
have analysed COCA.COLA and all
agree as to its freedom from cocaine,
morphine, whiskey and all injurious
materials. A booklet has been pub.
lished containing these reports and a
copy will be sent free to any reader
of this paper who has any doubt what
ever as to COCA-COLA being what 1t
claims to be,-a pure, harmless. delic-
ious, refreshing, temperance drink.

hibitionists say what they may. And
the basis OF that demand Is not the
common drunk, or the flesh and
blood on which any dive keeper may
feed.
These citizens believe they have
just as strong hold on Christian
ity, and they are quite as willing
to be judged in the next world by
their acts, as the Prohlbitionists.
They believe, furthermore. that the
willingness of any liquor dealer to
sacrifice flesh and blood for dollars
Is no greater than the fervor with
which certain Prohibitionists sacri-
hce those certain members Of the
human family who hold to other
views than those laid down by the
Prohibition book of faith.
In other words, the solution is In
the hands OF the honest people, who
refuse to accept the say-so of blood
suckers OF either extreme, but who
will decide the question calmly,
evenly, and for the best interests OF
the human family, with all lis
faults.
And they will not be misled by
efforts made by Prohibitionists &c
misrepresent or impeach their hon
esty and judgment.

CHARGE AGAINST Or.

Testimony Exonerates Marine Hos.

pital Surgeon Of Battery.
The charge of battery on Matteo

missioner Heacock yesterday and the
Marine Hospital Service INDICATED on
the charge which had been pressed by
the Seamen's Union, says the s. +.
Call.
II was alleged that after a capital
operation and while Prezzlni was IN
delirium at the Marine Hospital DIR.
Moore struck him several times and
that he died three hours later.
DR.. Moore's defense was that the
blows were with the fiat of the hand
or the finger tins to secure reaction
from delirinm.
The principal witness against Moore
was Henry G. Dell. n nurse and ye!,.
terday Il. +. Hensler mate on tho
steamer Fort Bragg. who was at the
hospital at the time. testified TO the
animus OF Dell against Moore and the
latter's Kindness and consideration for
ali mt the hospltal. He testified that
Dell was In the habit of sympathizing
with patients and Offering pity be-
cause they were to be operated on by
Moore. He said that BrezznY was
cratic and cranky. He had found
that Moore was especially attentive TO
this patient.

seventeen years, of which twelve had

and has always had hopes for its
future. and Furthermore has llways
had confidence in Its future. He
says that no tips on the market have
gone out from him, and he tApects
that the stock Is selling at the pres
ent time on Its intrinsic value. He
has plans for the road. but he will
not give the public any information
before his plans are completed, be-
cause he has never found that the
public rendered any great assistance,
either In private or public affairs. in
putting things through and bringing
them to q completion. II Is time
enough for the public to know when
the plans are completed and the
whole thing finished.
Among those thought to be in the
market are some prominent officials,
but whether they are buyers or sell
ers is not divulged.
Outside. the circle of the FIilo
Railway enthusiasts are the conser-
vatives who feel that The Intrinsic
value OF this railway stock is rep
resented in its bonds. while the stock
is simply 80 much wind and water.
Against them are the men who claim
that the road has an assured flu
ture, as IL is going into n country
already developed and does not have
TO seek for freight; the FIRE git is
waiting on the platforms. So. they
declare, whether the stock Is wind
water or intrinsic value, 1t is worth
all the money paid for 1t.
Again, there Is the man who as
serts that the whole movement Is the
result of desire of some Of the In
siders to dispose OF some Of theil
stock at a good price. and. like Me
Bryde, after the transfer CT the
agency, the stock, after going a'
high as 1t can be pushed, will dror
! back to the oldtime level and the
holders will be allowed to hold oil
for further development"
Thus the public is taking Its Ticl

thoritative statements made for thu
benefit of the buyers, and NJ ting &C

One of the latest utterances on
the subject came from the New York
Produce Exchange, following an ad-
dress by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. The resolution declares:
whereas, The increasing prices of
food products are largely due to the
unequal distribution of our popula-

and
whereas, A most serious cause OF

mand Is the general lack OF interest
in agricultural pursuits and the
scarcity Of farm labor; and

CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT.
South Carolina College,

Columbia. s. c., Jan. nth, 1906.
This Is TO certify that have bought
in the open market an original package
OF five gallons of CoCA-CoLA. bearing
the label of THE COCA-C0LA CO.,
Atlanta, Ca" and have subjected the
same to careful analysis. a
Z The object of this investigation he
ing to establish the presence or alb.
sence of cocaine and possibly OF other
Injurious alkaloids. operated on
quantities of three to Ave times the
amount contained In a bottle OF the
carbonated beverage. The extractions
of the syrup were repeated until the
alkaloids were entirely removed. and
the crystalline substance thus obtained
was further separated by fractional ex.
fractions, after which II was concen-
trated and tested. Since this concen.
trated product failed to respond to the
test for cocaine, 1t Is clear that the al
kaloid Is absent, or. II present at all,
then in quantities too minute to allow
of detection. The active constituent of
CoCA-CoLA syrup proved to be CAT,
feline, and in quantities seemingly less
than in a cup of good coffee or tea.
There was no evidence of the presence
OF other alkaloids.
Yours truly,

This Is typical Prohibition state
ment. As usual, 1t punches all those
who do not happen to believe with
the Prohibitionists, In their scheme
of handling the liquor traffic, into
a delicate bouquet made up Of all that
the Prohibitionists desire TO stamp
us evil. Prohibitionists admit that
money Is the root OF all evil, but so
far as they are concerned, the branch
that leads on to the liquor traffic Is
the oRly,-one that amounts to any
thing; because other branches lead
to the sources of their own particu-
lar fortunes.
,,. Whether whiskey dealers, con-
trolled by strict laws, have Tapped
up more human blood or debauched
T. ore homes than captains Of indus

d, nds In their veins, is n question
that would furnish fruitful source
OF argument, and open the way for
calling as many unpleasant names
as the most ardent Prohlbitionist
can find in his list. 1t would also
lead away from the main question,
and that is another favorite pastlme
Of the Prohibitionist.
What Hawaii has to consider Is
whether. the prohibition OF the sale
and manufacture of liquor in the
Territory will accomplish any prac-
