been brought about mainly through
the efforts of Mr.. F. NJ. Rogers, Jr.,

in connection with the opening sale in

Mr.. F. NJ. Rogers, Jr., was at home

pliments fell thick and fast around him.
He was in sight of the goal of his am

than he, and now the realization of his
hopes is in view. The market is estab-
lished and is sure to stay and grow. 1t

the Palmetto State to see the great
establishment of great industry for
which he has worked so hard.

abandon everything but what thew
stood in, while others, often hardly
aDlc to walk, are seen staggering
under sacks containing all their present
Worldly possessions. In many cases the
fugitives are of the poorest classes, with
numerous scantily clad children crying

remembering their i'll treatment at the
tussian railway stations, and they fear
fresh torment if they enter the waiting
rooms. a doctor attends the children
who are i'll from the effects of the Jour.

The fugitives describe how the streets
in which they lived would be suddenly
cordoned with police searching for Jews
who would fly for safety; how the doors
OF syragogues would be wrenched, and
troops Of armed men would tie their
hands and feet and plumber everything
in the place, and how on arriving at the
frontier the police would extort fresh
brides to allow them to cross.

rush for the speaker to drag the
