WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT PANIC

On Augusta Street last SATURDAY.. which
almost resulted in SO many, many people
being crushed to death in the crowd? 1t
was caused by thousands of people who
were eager to take advantage of the
great 30 days sacrifice sale now going on
at the store rooms of the New York and
Philadelphia Bankrupt Company-hun-
dreds of people turned away and could
not be properly waited on. Such bar
gains were never dreamed of by any of
the bargain seekers.
Still greater reductions offered this
week, it being the last week of the great
80 days sacrifice sale, which positively
closes on the first of March Everybody
who wants to be made happy should not
fail to pay a visit to the famous

Mr.. Sharp is 70 years old He is Span
lard by birth, but has lived in the U. s,
since he was boy. He enlisted in the
navy in 1929, and has therefore served 81
years. He is active and energetic, and
walks with the firm, elastic tread OF a
young man. His service has been an hon
orable one. of which the old man is just
ly proud. When asked about his active
service he went to the bottom of his sail
or chest and brought out the official re-
cord, which he guards with great care.
The record shows that Mr. Sharp was
wounded on board the U. S. warship
Richmond in Mobile bay, August 5, 1864,
while in command of the 100 Id. rifle
gun. He is commended for GOODNESS
and gallantry while under fire at short

UNTRUE AND MISLEADING.

The sugar belt in Kansas, according to
the agricultural department. lies between
Wichita and Medicine Lodge-a narrow
strip along the southwestern border This
is the territory for the protection of which
the country was asked to heavily tax itself
for an indefinite period. -Emporia Repub-
lican.
If the foregoing statement were liter
ally true the point attempted to be made
IS lost, from the simple fact that there
are several other localities of much less
extent that bask and flourish under the
benign and fructifying influence of the
governments protection in certain exclu-
sive lines of industry that are rendered
profitable thereby, and only thereby to
hear the operators tell it. But WHY will
the Republican, in order to maintain a
defenseless position, persist in misstating
and misconstrueing anything and every
thing it can torture into such shane?
The secretary Of agriculture did not re-
strict the sugar belt to the limits named.
except in the direction indicated-north
and west-but if he had, it is only his
opinion which has long since been
proven incorrect by practical demonstra-
ton. Nothing is gained by representa-
ton, as our e. C. ought to know.
