From the evacuation of Fort Sumter on December 1, i8ao, to the close of the Chril War, or rather lo the eighteenth day of February, 1865. when Charleston city and har ibor were evacuated, after 567 days of continuous military operations against them, its history is ooe f battle and strife. Deluged with a storm of stvst and shells, which plowed their way through streets and homes,. leaving a battle scarred city, it took u,? the burden after the war. and bursting through the ter rible bonds of the ''Reconstruction era" it moved onward so that its 40,000 people of i860 amounted to .nearly 60,000 cn 1900. - Since the wer its history has beea still eventful.

The Custom House, on East Bay near the foot ot Market 6treet, is a beautiful building, and from the eastern side a fine view of the Cooper river is obtained. The Central Market is another place of interest It begins with a two story hall on Meeting street, opposite Market street, and extends across m"ny streets to East Bay. Here the visitors should go early in the morning, or on Saturday even ing between 6 and 9 o'clock if h wants to see the method of busi ness.

The greatest danger from colds and la grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care i used, however, and Chamberlain' Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thous nds who have used this remedy for these diseases, we have yet to learn of a single cate having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain pre ventive of that dangerous malady. It will cure a co'.d or an attach of la grippe in less time than any other treatment It is pleasant nd sate to take. For : ale by J.

We are advised by the Gen. SupU F. C. Topleman, that the final con nections have been made between Greenville and Kinston. so that the hng distance service ol the Caroli nia 5: Virginia Telephone Company is now in practical operation to Morchead City, and all intermediate points Construction on this line was legun at Spring Hore 'ast july and since that time from one to three crews have been in the field pushing the work forward. The rnaia line constructed 10 complete this connection covert a distance of about too miles, and Is double metallic circuit throughout, one for through business touching tmpor tant points, the other (or local busi ness between exchanges, In ad dkaoo some 60 miles of branch lines have feeen built. To construct this of line bs icuixed over 4ooo juniper poles, tcoo miles of copper wire, 31000 insulators, aad pins. 000 cross-arms and 34000 bolt., and to transport this material 70 cars were called into service. Over coo men have bee steadily employed for eight months, and about xe and one half miles of completed line was finished each working day. The work of con structing these line is an undertak ing of considerable magnitude and must require a vast amount of capi tal. .Ireat credit is due the companies for their efiorts in connecting up with first-class lone distance lmes so large a scope of territory in so short a time. Over 1 200 miles of toU lines hive been built in tne last six years. The main line of the company now ex. tends irom Chase City. .1 , to Morehcad City, N. C., affording di rect communication with over 53CO subscribers in 35 exchanges. The principal points reached by the line just completed are Rocky Mount. Greenville, Tarboro, Nc-v Brne. Bayboro and Morrh-ad City. A cable is now being laid from M nchead City to coined Beaufort with the system. The long distance service hereto fore instituted, and operated hs been found invaluable for its con venience and the facilitating of business, and the new lines just opened will simply be of so much additional benefit to the business interests ol the territory covered by the Henderson and the Carolina & V,r;.
