Treat FARLEY Fairly.

Greenville News.
I see an article in the Register,
Of July 2Sth, about the "Farley-
Irby affair."" from Hodges ostensi-
bly,, which undertakes to forestall
public opinion in that controversy
and sit in judgement on General
Farley, and then call on others
likewise inclined to do something.
If that is the game, I take it for
granted that The Greenville News
IS fair enough to allow both sides
to play at it.
The correspondent alluded to
says n good thing and that is
that Senator Irby had best take
notice Of the affair. This is good
advice and could well go along with
some that General Farley gave
him.
Now, both Of these men are
from Laurens, and we all know
them. General Farley can bear q
comparison with any man in his
work for and devotion to the re-
form movement. lrby can not
bear the comparison with him
either as to character or services
and our people all know it. SO far
as the controversy Is concerned,
and as we see 1t, instead of being n
"baseless and scurrilous attack" it
is II complete conviction of Sena-
tor Irby Of the charges made
against him by General Farley
Besides this General Farley has
indicated himself from all of the
charges against him and now
stands on high and patriotic
grounds.
am a reformer, and while 1 re-
greet any quarrel Of this kind, I still
say that Senator Irby got exactly
what he deserved for trying to
"blacklisU General Farley and
Congressman Shell. The only way
for us to keep peace and harmony
is to put our condemnation on the
INSCRIPTIONS acts Of such men as
Senator Irby and make them shut
up, or get out of the party. Ger
tainly we can not expect an hon
orable and spirited gentleman like
General Farley to be quiet and
submit while he is being under
mined, slandered and injured by
such "stabs in the dark" as the
"Craddock" article, All honest re-
formers and alliancemen demand
"fair play"

both games without a passed ball.
The Laurens boys were treated very
handsomely by the Netherlands. The
town was turned over to them, all ex-
penses were paid and they were shown
every attention. Our boys would have
returned from Newberry in a good
humor had they lost both games, and
they have no regrets that honors were
divided with the hospitable, good fell

games to everybody's satisfaction.

Owing to the wording of the ordi-
nance on licenses. the merry-go-rounds
that have visited the city since the
first one have paid no license. The
first paid S. week. They do thriv-
ng business and take good deal of
money out of the city, and there is no
reason why they should not pay a
portion of the burden of municipal
government. The ordinance should
be so amended that So day or $40 a
week can be collected from these peo-
pie. People who exhibit museums
should also be taxed, and the ordi-
nance needs general overhauling, as
it fails to protect our merchants from
fakirs and those who take--orders by
samples, as it should. The city treas
ury needs all the money that it can
get these days, and the ordinance can
not be amended too soon.

FOR1ER MANKATOITES ROBBED.

We learn from Alfred Buck. who
has returned to the city to locate and
go into business, that Perry thinner
mans house in Chicago was robbed
one night about two weeks ago, and
that Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman and
Miss Minorah were chloroformed.
After rendering the occupants of the
house unconscious, the burglars light
ed the gas through the whole house
and ransacked everything. Ali the
members of the family lost their gold
watches and all other jewelry, except
that Mrs. Zimmerman's diamonds
were fortunately overlooked. The
family did not recovertfrom the effects
of the chloroform until the next
morning, when it was found that the
gas was still turned on and the house
was open. The loss during the present
hard times is unusually severe, and
they will have the sympathy of their
Mankato friends.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.

BURGLARS AROUND.
One Makes His Escape From S. w.
Burgess House at the
Point of a Revolver.

A couple of burglars followed in the
wake of the circus Thursday and en-
gagged in their work at night. At
about nine O'Clock Mrs. H. @. Akers
saw man enter her yard, and she
went through the house to the back
door just as Mr.. Burglar was trying
the door. Her presence frightened
him away. Two men were noticed to
go from the direction of Mrs. Akers'
yard through the alley back of L. Pat
terson's house.
A few moments later, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. w. Burgess returned home from a
walk and were surprised to find
light in their house. On looking
through glass door they saw man
in their sleeping apartment ransact-
ing the bureau drawers. While Mrs.
Burgess started to unlock the side
door through which they saw the bur-
glar, Mr.. Burgess started for the back
door, intending to head off the man.
He was too late, however, as the bur-
gler had taken the alarm and had de-
parted. He was twenty feet back of
the house when Mr.. Burgess approach
ed him and asked HIM what he want
ed. He replied with foreign accent
and so indistinctly that the only word
which Mr.. Burgess understood was
''shOOt" He Immediately added in a
louder voice turn your back to me, "
at the same time aiming revolver at
him which he was holding in his hand.
Mr.. Burgess was unarmed and had no
alternative but to obey under such a
pressing invitation. AS soon as his
back was turned on the burglar the
later jumped down the steep embark
ment back of the house and was join
ed by his pal, who had been OF the
lookout under the shade of the bank.
They stopped short distance off, but
were frightened off by Mrs. Rur-
CESS, who had come around the house,
shouting for her husband to shoot.
The two men climbed the railroad
embankment and ran down the track
in southerly direction. The police
were notified to be on the lookout.
An examination of the house re-
vealed the fact that the burglar had
made his entrance through a rear

PENDANTS was begun. They then wav
ed an examination and were bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. Bail was placed at 800 each,

FOR THE DEFENDANT.

The trial of the suit of the Veron-
ika Jaegar VS.. Chas. Wagon to recover
$3.50 in wages alleged to be due was
completed Friday afternoon. This
case is only important from the fact
that it's issue will settle the 5000
damage suit started by the plaintiff
against Jacob Wagon, the same facts
involve in both cases, w. N. Plymat
appeared for the plaintiff and Lorin
Cray and A. r. Pfau for the defend
ant. The following jury was selected:
John Pohl. John Peter Kramer, An
drew Under. Richard Wigley, David
Dackins and Henry Schwarble.
The defendant virtually claimed
that the plaintiff had stolen various
sums from Jacob Wagon and other
members of the family in small
amounts. Jacob Wagon had made a
settlement with her in which she had
paid $40 in cash and assigned to him
the balance due on her wages, $3.50
The plaintiff took the stand in re-
buttal and denied stealing any money
or that she had assigned her wages to
Jacob Wagon. She admitted having
paid him $40, but claimed that it was
done under complusion and in order
to secure her liberty.
The jury was out three-quarters Of
an hour and then brought in the ver-
dict for the defendant. Miss Jaegar
is twenty years of age and stout ap-
pearing young woman. She and her
father were witnesses for the plain
tiff and Jacob Wagon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Wagon and Fred Rostock were
witness for the defense. 1t is now
likely that the damage suit will fall
through, as the same evidence would
be put on that case.

burglar had then taken precaution
not to be discovered by pulling down
the window shades and preparing an
exit. He lighted lamp and proceed
ed to ransack the drawers of the
bureau and secretary, but did not take
anything. The neighbors state that
there had not been a light in the
house three minutes before Mr.. and
Mrs. Burgess returned. When the
former met the man at the rear of the
house he at first thought it was not
the one seen in the house, and
thought that the first man had not
yet come out. Mrs. Burgess saw the
man run out and at once started
around to join her husband.
The man seen in the house was
about five feet ten inches high and
wore suit of brown clothes. He was

thought that he and his pal make a
profession of following the circus. Mr..
Burgess had revolver in the house,
