LOW PRICES on good values are highly valued. This seeming paradox
is daily demonstrated in any of our departments, especially in Dry-Goods,
.Notions, Clothing, Millinery, Shoes, Furniture, Hardware and Furnishings.

ATLANTIC COAST LINE’S RECORD.
A 1'iUte Story of on All.yrr! nuoo—Tho

An effort has been made, by means of
rather sensational newspaper articles, to

Southern lla!lw*y~bctween Jacksonville
and New York at the expense of the At
lantic 'Coast Line Several dallies last
week printed extravagant stories of an
alleged “thousand mllo race” to New
York, with glowing accounts of the bo-
called grand "victory” of the Southern
Hallway.
The fact ia that there was no such
race,” and that the Atlantic Coast Line
ran its train on its regular schedule, re
gardless of any great special elTort that
thi 1 ' ' ’ “ ‘
e rival company chose to make on that
special occasion. The reputation of the
Atlantic Coast Lino for the fastest time
from and to Florida is established, and
no sensational enterprises of this kind
are needed to maintain it.

Washington tins never boon beaten
and gives that line a pre eminence until
that record is broken.
yllitan flyer made the run from
Jacksonville to Washington in fiftcon
hours and forty-nine minutes, and as the
Southern scored a run of only nineteen
hours and fifty fonr minutes on Friday,
it will be seen that notwithstanding tho
fact that they were making a special ef
fort, they fell four hours nnd flvo minutes
behind the record of the Atlantic Const
Linn then made. No effort was made by
tho Coast I.lno on Tuesday to equal or
beat Its own record and it will rest on its
laurels until the otltor lines boat It. or at
least equal It. Tlie Southern tried to

The Southern Dentist Convention now
In session in Washington is a very im
[tortant body. Iu proceedings will be
followed with interest by millions of poo
pie in this country.
The growth of the Baptist church In
this country has been remarkable, espe
cially in the South. There arc now about
4,000,000 Baptists in the United Slates,
and of these 2,500,000 are in tho South.
Every year increases this number largely
and there never was a time when Baptist
enthusiasm was greater than It is now.
The first Baptist church In Amorlca
was organized by Roger Williams in
Providence, It. I., in 1089. The division
between the northern and southern Bap'
lists occurred about the same time as tin
sectional split in the Methodist church
and on the same question—slavery,
Tbo Southern Baptist Convention was
organized in Augusta In 1845. Since
that event the number of Baptlsu In the
South has increased many limes over and
the relative growth of the church has
been remarkstile. Among the delegates
at the Washington convention are some
of the most distinguished preachers In
tho South and many men who arc leaders
in other professional and business lines,
The American Baptist Educational So
ciety mcots this year with the Southern
Baptist Convention and Governor North
en will preside.
Cordial fraternal relations betweon
Baptists North and South, have been es
tablished, ' ' ‘ *
.vu. but Ihore is no probability of
an organic re-union. Both organizellops
arc so large that they are probably more
effective by remaining separate. They
co-operate, however, in educational en-
terprises and some other efforts looking
to the extension of their common faith.
Atlanta Is a great Baptist stronghold
