The land at present is in better con-
dition for crops than it has been for many
years; the heavy SHOWS in March being
just the thing needed. The farmers are
in good spirits and are preparing to put
in larger acreage of diversified crops
than ever before in the history of the
county. Altogether, the signs of the
times are propitious for prosperous
season for residents of Mclean County.

HOLMES ARMS HIMSELF.
The Escaped Convict Ready TO Defend
Himself From Arrest.

Seen Yesterday at the Savannah,
Florida and Western Crossing, Near
Southover-Had Party of Friends
Around Him, All of Whom Were
Armed-The Officers Went Out Last
Night to Make Search.
The report reached the city yesterday
that Jockey" Holmes, the convict who
escaped from Camp No 2, Wednesday,
was seen both during the morning and
afternoon out on the White Bluff road
about quarter of a mile this side of
Southover junction.
The fact that he was seen there stand
ing near the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway would not have been so mys-
FERROUS or sensational had it not been
that he was heavily armed at the time,
and was accompanied by his brother and
ten or twelve negroes, who were also
armed.
The report was brought into the Office
of the solicitor general yesterday after
noon by John Sapp, who drives oneof the
wagons at the camp from which Holmes
escaped. Sapp happened to be near the
railroad crossing mentioned about II
o'clock yesterday morning and saw this
crowd of negroes, which on investigation
proved to be Holmes and his friends.
Later. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
he saw the same crowd in about the same
place. Holmes was armed with a rife or
shotgun, pistol and knife which hung
at his side. His brother had a pistol, and
the other negroes were all carrying arms
of some kind or other
Holmes brother saw Sapp and pointed
towards him. When Holmes saw him he
lodged behind some brush to get out of
sight. Sapp went back to the camp and
reported the matter to Capt. Charles
DeLOdge There was little probability
that Holmes would get away before night,
and it was decided to report the matter
promptly to the solicitor generals Office.
Solicitor General Fraser detailed De-
tective Morgan to look into the matter,
and he and Capt. DeLodge were to have
gone out to the place mentioned last
night. 1t is not known what Holmes idea
was in having this armed cohort around
him, but it is believed that his intention
was to take the first opportunity that
offered itself to get out of this section,
and with this idea in view, was waiting
nightfall, when he expected to take some
passing freight train, going either towards
Charleston or Florida. No report was
received last night from the search made
by the officers

THE SHOP HAz1Na ENDED.
Another Indictment for Assaulting
Young George Thomas.

Young George Thomas.
Another of the Central Railroad shop
apprentices - Oliver Barthelmess was
indicted by the grand jury of the city
court yesterday for taking part in the
hazing of George Thomas. This pretty
well finishes up the indictments, though
there is sentiment in favor
of indicting the foreman of the
shop, who was witness of the
haZng, and who thought it was as much
fun as did those who took part in it.
Between fifteen and twenty of the ap-
prentices, who had a hand in beating
young Thomas, are now awaiting trial
for assault and battery.
A stop has been put to the hazing since
the matter has been brought into the
courts. 1t had become n menace to the
shops. Young men who were anxious
to enter the shops, as apprentices were
kept from doing so. Very few were will
ing to be thrown across the connecting
rod OF the locomotive, with half a dozen
apprentices holding their feet, and as
many more their head, while all the en-
ployes in the department struck them
three blows apiece with a Stat.
This practice has been going
on for some time, and while
the foreman and sub-foreman are not
known to have joined in it they have been
present, and, as one of them said, enjoyed
the fun. The beating of young Thomas
was admitted to be more severe than that
of some apprentices so that he became
unconscious from the blows.
All but one or two of those who are
known to have had a hand in the assault
on young Thomas are now undeR indict-
ment and will be tried during the present
term of court. Whatever the result of
the trial may be, the hazing has been done
away with

The wonderful success of, and immense

P" (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas-

advertising. The proprletors, Messrs.

vlnced that they had a meritorious prepa-

advertising, and third, a good article to
sell Most business men who succeed
find these conditions fulfilled in their
business, and especially do they believe
in the value of printers ink. Look
through the newspapers and think for a
moment. You find the advertisements of
the most successful preparations which
have for years stood the test. Most of
the worthless medicines which, freely ad-
yertised for short period, have fai ed
to give satisfaction to the
suffering public and the manufacturers
have ceased to solicit patronage. Many
may recall to their minas several excel
lent remedies for various complaints,
which, if known would be a great bene-
fit to suffering humanity The lack of
enterprise and capital keeps many good
things out of the market, but when re
liable article is properly advertised in the
newspapers and its merits are coutinu-
ally heralded to the world, there are al
ways successful results.

Bright Spring Days.

The spring should be e-eminent1y a
season Of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its high
est degree of tranquility and prosperity.
But spring, it is well known. is often a
period Of discomfort and disturbance in
the physical system. Important organs
of the body become torpid or irregular in
their action, and the fact is instantly re-
flected in the mental condition of the in
dividual. A disordered liver means dis
ordered nerves and dull and unsteady
brain. Anything which will bring the
physical system into harmony with bud
ding nature confers an enormous benefit
upon the nation, besides the mere allaying
of physical discomfort. Hoods Sarspa-
rilla does this, as thousands of grateful
and happy men and women can testify,
and increased use of this standard spring
medicine is Of more real practical import
ance IN promoting health and quiet in the
business world than years of abstract
theorizing. --ad.
