Got $10 Out of It.-Mr. Jim Crawford. has just received the returns from his first shipment of melons to Cedar Rapids, Ia. The car was sixteen days in transit. The car sold for $18035; commissions, $1O03; freight, $152.S5, leaving Sl0 for MT. Crawford. This certainly winds up the melon business about here. With reasonable freight rates some money could be made by our growers.-Abbe- vile Times.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 9-The Alabama river
steamer Nettie Quill. which left here Tues
cay for Montgomery, returned here at G
o'clock this morning with a hole in her
starboard side, four by ten feet, caused
by striking a snag Thursday at Cables
landing, 225 miles above Mobile The Quill
was making the landing and a high wind
drifted her on to a snag, the presence OF
which was well known TO the pilot The
boats nose was run on the bank and
her cargo and passengers gotten ashore.
Blankets We're stuffed into the hole, and
bulkhead built, the vessel in the meantime
filling and going down to within eigh-
teen inches Of the deck. The weather was
very cold, ice forming on the men en-
gagged in building the bulkhead in the
water which filled the hold. But for their
untiring efforts, the boat would have been
total loss.

BURGLARS AT WORK..
Goods stolen From n Number Of
sandersviIIe Stores.

eamuersVtlie stores.
Sandersville Ca, Feb 9.-Sandersville
was worked by burglars Thursday night
also last Sunday night when H. c. Rough
toms store was entered by large glass
being smashed in one Of the front win
dows. Several pistols, guns. boxes of cart
ridges and a canvassed ham were then
stolen.
Thursday night entrances were made
into five stores by prying open the shut
tiers in the rear of the buildings and
breaking the fastenings.
The Progress office was entered and the
combination safe was opened, but so far
as known nothing was disturbed No
effort was made to open the cash vault.
The burglar was probably ashamed to
rob a country editor.
II. c. Roughton's store was robbed for
the second time within a week, guns,
pistols, cartridges, hams and 81 in cash
that had been left in the cash drawer be-
ing all that was missed. Two combina-
ton, double-door safes were opened, but
the inside doors were not disturbed and
nothing was taken therefrom.
l. Hermanns Sons shoe store was the
next, but 1t is impossible TO determine
how many pair of shoes were stolen.
Duggan & Watkins shutters were
forced, but 1t is not thought that the
burglars entered the store Nothing Is
missed from the stock.
William A. McCartz & Co.'S store was
also entered. A suit of clothes and
pair Of shoes have been missed from the
stock The money drawers were forced
open, but they contained only a small
amount in change.
The burglars attempted to force open
the shutters of the stores OF J. d. Newman
& Bro, and p. r. Taliaferro, but they
were better secured than those of the
other stores, and they failed to do So
An ak was left beside the window of
Capt Taliaferro's store. which was prob
ably the implement used in forcing open
the shutters of the stores that were burg
larized. There is no clue to the perpe-
traitors of the crime

A Curious Case of Combustion.

DR.. Lindsay johnson writes to tho
British Medical Journal regarding n
patient for whom he ordered ordinary
chlorate of potash lozenges, which
were kept loose in the waiscoat
pocket for convenience. Without
thinking what he was doing, no put
an unopened Swedish safety box of
matches into the Same pocket. While
bending down to pick up something
on the floor the lozenges rubbed
against the friction paper on the out
side of tho box. This set the entire
box alight, and tho heat kindled all
the matches in the box. Tho lozenges
added fuel to the flames. The result
was that the gentleman was instantly
III flames, the combustion being of
explosive violence. He WINS severely
burned. DIR. johnson thinks that
it might DO we'll if caution were
to be printed on the bottle or box in
which the lozenses arc sold to the eff
feet that they should in no case be car
ried loose. With this recommenda-
ton we entirely agree. This is not
the fret occasion we hnve recorded
accidents like tho above, and MIR. AL
den's alarming story about tho disap-
pearance of two men who used chlor-
sto of potash lozsnges is enough to
make all druggists regard these ap-
parently harmless and nasty sweets
with greater caution than thoy do. =

Severe Winters in tho Old World.

During the seventeenth and eight
ccnth centuries tnero were in tho old
world some winters bitterly memoir
able. In Britain, in 1864, tho Thames
was frozen to tho depth OF sixty-ono
inches, and nenrly all tho birds in tho
United Kingdom persisted. In 1902
the cold was so intense in Southern
Europe, especially in Austria, that
wolves were driven by hunger into
Vienna, where they attacked boasts of
burden, and even human beings.
Three years later many persons were
frozen to death in various parts of
Germany. The cold winter, us it was
called for distinction. occurred in
1903, when all the rivers and lakes in
Europe wcro compactly frozen, aud
even the sea several miles from shore,
and tho enrth itself from seven to
eight feet deep. Birds and beasts
fell dead, and thousands of mon, wo-
men and children persisted in their
houses. In Southern Franco nearly
oil tho vineyards were destroyed, and
havo not yet recovered from the dis
astcr. Tho Adrintic was frozen, and
much of tho Mediterranean in the
ncighborhood of Genoa and Lcghorn,
and the lemon and orange groves
wero blighted in many parts of Italy.
During ZIG persons crossed tho
straits from Copenhagen to the Prov
inco OF 6cnia Uudcn) OH the ice, and
horses md wagons likewise. Snow
lay ten feet deep in Spain and Portu-
gal during 1740, tho Zuyder Eco was
covered with ice thick enough to bear
n multitude OF people, and four years
later, snow measured on level
twenty-throo feet in Portugal. In
l771 tho Elbo was frozen to tho bot.
tom, and in 1776 tho Danube showed
ice below Vienna eight to ten feet
thick.-Detroit Free Press.

An Ingenious Process.

Harnessing tho forces OF nature to
ones chariot is by no means new
thing, but every now and thea there
is some new application of existing
methods that awakens our en- thusiasm
and cnchains our interest. 1t became
necessary to sink shaft in coal mlne
in Belgium, but the existing difficult
ties seemed almost insurmountable.
Directly in the why there was very
thick and heavy quicksand, and in adj
dition n great body of water that could
not be controlled by ordinary means.
1t was therefore decided to freeze n
large bulk of the sand and water, and
in this way prepare q medium through
which to tunnel. This was accom-
plished by the use of largo pipes,
closed at the lower ends. These were
sunk to the required depth, and were
placed sufficiently close together for
the purpose and in line surrounding
tho space to be frozen. Inside OF
these, smaller pipes, open ut both
ends, were placed, and into thom
chloride of magnesium was forced
This ran through the lower end Of. tho
inner tube and rose in tine space be-
tween tho two tubes. Gradually tho
surrounding quicksand and water
froze until it could be cut away like
rock. The circumference of the frozen
space was about eighteen feet. New
