the most thorough temperance man imag
inable. I have seen him at great dinner
here under all sorts of trying circum
stances, and he never drinks anything but
water. He is a temperance man in the
strictest sense of the word, but he don’t
believe in prohibition, and he is so thor
oughly honest that he will not advocate
anything that he does not believe heartily
in.”

Chronicle and Constitutionalist
AUCUSTA, GA,
THE Chronicle and Constitutionalist is
rapidly approaching the completion o: the
first century of existence. The paper we pub
lish is essentially a type of modern progress,
which demonstrates that this established
journal has become better and stronger as
it increases in years. The men who have,
from one generation to another, worked upon
it, and helped to make it a power in the
land, submit, and will submit, to the common
lot of humanity and pass away from this earth
and its struggles, but the result of their
labor remains, and will continue to remain.
The workmen die, but the work goes on.
The Chronicle of to-day is an improve
ment upon the Chronicle of the past. The
Chronicle of the future will be an improve
ment upon the Chronicle of to-day. The
world moves, and the paper moves with it
Wonderful inventions, in tne last half a cen
tury, have give an impetus to all material
things, and the press has shared in the advant
ages of great discoveries, just as it has also
stimulated them The Chronicle has spared
ne pains or expense to furnish the public with
the news of the day from all parts of the
world, and it will take pleasure and pride in
perfectieg this service from time to time. The
Chronicle has endeavored to take high and
noble views of public policy, and to sustain all
good and just causes.
The Chronicle has essayed to encourage
virtue ar d to make the lot of man and woman
all the brighter and better for the common
weal. The Chronicle strives to be a new spa
per in the best sense of the term, and to ad
vance, in that misriou, the interests of all the
people. The conductors of the paper can
not and do not expect to be infallible,
any more than they expect to please
everybody. In all human affairs mis
takes of judgment will occur, and uoutesus
of opinion will arise. We will, however,
mightily strive to commit as few errors as p 'S
sible, and te enter such conflicts as cannot be
avoided with a proper epirit.
The Chronicle enters the new year with
exceptional advantages. Its daily edition is
a well filled eight-page paper. Its second
edition, for the evening mails, is eight pages,
with the afternoon markets and telegraphic
reports. It takes the place of the tri-weekly
edition. Its mammoth weekly pa-per will
compare with any in the country. Into this
edition the choicest and creamiest news of the
week is collected, and upon its lap the best
and freshest editorial and miscellaneous mat
ter :rom the daily is poured. Its market re
ports, covering nearly one page, will be an
especial feature, prepared each week for the
country reader.
Its news service will be sustained by train
ed and scholarly correspondents in the three
capitals—Atlanta, Columbia and Washington
while it will strive to have a news represen
tative in every neighboring town.
The mail facilities es this paper are now
superb. Four daily trains distribute its edi
tions in South Carolina and three in Georgia.
It reaches all the principal points in South
Carolina early on the day of publication
reaching Columbia at 11, a. m. The fest mail
schedule of the Georgia Railroad lands the
Chronicle and Constitutionalist in all
towns along the line early in the forenoon,
while its issue is unfolded in Atlanta and
Athene by noon each day.
