A DARING BURGLARY.
Mr.. A. w. Gagg's Store Plundercd
Sunday Night.

Monday morning when the store
OF Messrs. Gagg, Oliver d Co.. on
Academy Street, was opened for
the days business, Russell Gagg,
son Of the proprietor and the first
to enter the building, discovered
goods scattered about over the
store In confusion, and on further
investigation found that the store
had been broken into and robbed.
4 large pane Of glass in the back
door was smashed and it was by
this means that the thief or thieves
gained an entrance. Mr.. Gagg has
no idea when the robbery took
place, but thinks it prob able that
the deed was doae some time
during Sunday night. 1t is im-
possible 10 tell ja>l how much was
stolen, as Mr. Gagg carries a larg"
stock of goo Is. and the loss may
be much larger than can be deter
mined a. this time. The follow
ing articles are missing froI the
store, and'perhaps good many
more: 6 revolverS, 90 boxes of
cartridges, 4 pairs Of shoes, 3
satchels, 3 or t suits of clothes,
several hats and pairs of suspend
ers and a number Of pocket knives.
Like many other dee Is of bur
g.ary which have been commit

one, and its ooidneSs perh3ps con

dtions and Personal Notes.
Last Friday night large crowd
Of the yonth and beauty of this
vicinity gathered in the grove at
Mr.. Geo.ge Thomas house near
Rome, to attend "swap party"
At an early hour the lawn was
alive with the hearty laughter of
merry young folks and the hours
sped by as gayly as mid-sum-
mer nights dream. Miss Maggie
Altman, the hostess, eXerted her
self most successfully for the en-
| joyment of all, and if any lndivid-
ual present tailed to spend the
evening pleasantly it was surely
not her fault.
About nine o'clock the "swap-
ping" began. This consisted OF
exchanging packages containing
unknown articles, and 1t was most
amusing to see the young men
and maidens making their swaps.
OF course the girls did all the
eheating-they are good at that.
When the bell rang as the signal
TO stop Whippoorwlll was left the
happy possessor OF tried fish!
Then came refreshments which
were highly enjoyable. After
supper the young folks paired off
and wandered away in solitude to
swap hearts, we suppose, or al
least to trv to do so. Delightful
music, both intrumental and eo-
cal, was discoursed, which lent
added charm to the festive scene.

FIND LABOR ON THE FARMS.

The tendency of our rural population
to abandon the farms and seek en-
ployment and a residence in the cities
and larger towns, has been so marked
for some few years past that the ques-
ton of farm labor has become an ex-
tremely important one in nearly all
sections of the country.
The recent demand reported from
Kansas for $1,000 youny men to work
in the harvest fields of that State soon
at 81 per day, is only an effort to meet
in time an anticipated difficulty that
has embarrassed the big wheat States
often in the past. 1t has been the
same trouble that the cotton planters
of Texas have so often experienced and
that even the general farmers in the
middle and Eastern States have to con-
tend against annually.
This migratory movement to the
cities 10 not only retarding the general
volume of production, but, by creating
an active demand for farm labor, Is
adding notably to the cost of produc-
ton, to an appreciable loss to the
farmers.
In the meantime, thousands of the
young men who have left the farms are
making but poor Roadway in the cities,
at best. The majority of them are
really earning less, net, and performing
more exacting service than on the
farm. Numbers of them, it is true,
have bettered their condition in a
financial way, and possibly see more
and enjoy more of life, but this is not
the case with very large majority.
The farm life in this country is the
freest and most independent that can
be found. It's attractions and oppor-
tunities are not sufficiently set before
the rising generation. Tens of thou
sands of youths who are now ldl1ng or
plodding along in the cities could vast
ly improve both their present condi-
ton and their prospects by responding
to the cry for help from the farmers
from season to season, and remaining
on the farm.
There is little sympathy to be vast.
ed on city loafers or young and healthy
men hunting jobs when great crops
have to be left to rot IN the fields fol
want of laborers to gather them.

The New England cotton mill situa-
ton is thus summed up by the Au-
gusta Chronicle: Some of the Fall
River cotton mills favor a continued
curtallmen. of production without
reduction of wages, and some fa-
vor reduction of wages without cur
tailment of production. But it ap-
pears that more mills than are out
spoken for either of these proposals
can be brought to sign an agreement
to apply both remedies so-called-that
is, to reduce wages 10 per cent, and
to shorten production until the pres
ent large accumulated stock of print
cloths, amounting to fHlly 2,0a0, 600
pieces, has been cat down 10 half .
million pieces. This combination plan
is said to be gaining such favor among
manufacturers that it may succeed.
The argument being used for re-
duction of wages is that in view Of
southern competition the New Eng
land mills must seek q permanent
lower wage level to correspond more
nearly with that prevailing in the
South.

wHIsKEY DRIVES TO INSANITY.

A recent news dispatch asserts that
there are more people in Charleston
suffering from insanity than in any city
in the state of South Carolina. Insan-
ity is on the increase and the city hos
pital is SO crowded with imbeciles that
patients are being turned away.
It is an extremely difficult matter for
the authorities there to place an insane
patient in the state insane asylum, ow-
ing to the crowded condition OF that
institution, and many applicants are
refused and are being cared for by
relatives.
The physicians state that the in
creased insanity is due to blind IT,
gers, which sell illicit whiskey which
has been doctored or adulterated.
The state authorities are very much
exercised over the matter ard a per-
sistant effort will be made to break up
the illicit sale of whisky, which, how
ever, will be a difficult matter, for
more than one hundred ''tigers' are
operated in Charleston.
The records of the probate court show
that during the past five months more
insane people have been sent to the
asylum than ever before for the same
length of time, and all from drinking
adulterated ''blind tiger" whiskey.

BRONCHITIS

may mean a mere cold or a
chronic incurable infamma-
ton of wind-pipes.
The quickest relief, for a
cold, is also the most effectual
balm for the worst condition
of wind-pipes and lungs.
1t takes the edge off a cold
in a night, and relieves it pro-
gressively-one forgets it after
a little.
An old bronchitis, however,
is obstinate. Nothing re-
stores the tissues, when once
destroyed; and an old bronch-
it's has gradually impaired and
partly destroyed the lining of
those small pipes between
throat and lungs.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil is the balm; it sooths if it
cannot restore.
