BETTER THAN BLOODHoUNDs.
The Efficacy of Telephone Service In
ApprehenIinE Fugitives
from Justice.

A great deal has been said and
written lately about the arrest of
the supposed safe crackers in Union
county. Some are disposed to give
the bloodhounds credit, while others
boast upon the superior service of
Union county officers. Of course. the
bloodhounds should have all the cred
it due them in the chase, and no one
will deny that it takes nerve to face
the deadly fire of such desperadoes
as those in Monroe Jail, and our OH
GERS deserve congratulation-des
a continuance in Office as long as
they are so faithful and. true to the
trust reposed in them. But the most
important thing that makes Union
county a net that entangles Grim
inals and puts them behind the bars
has scarcely been mentioned in this
connection. I refer to the extensive
and superior telephone service in our
rural districts, says a correspondence
of the Charlotte IN. CO. Observer. A
few minutes after these desperadoes
opened fire upon the officers at Mon
roe, just before daylight, the news
was transmitted by telephone to the
neighborhood exchanges, and in few
minutes more it reached every nook
and corner of the county. Every
body was then on the lookout and
ready to spot any stranger or sus-
picious character that might be seen
in the community, and they were
therefore enabled to assist the Off
GERS in getting quick information in
regard to the whereabouts OF the
criminals.
1t will be remembered that the
Marvin safe crackers who were con-
victed in Anson county criminal
court, and sentenced to the pen:ten-
tiarv, were arrested at Marshville. on
the west-bound train which was due
here about nine o'clock at night.
About Is minutes before the arrival
of the train the central received a
telephone message from Sheriff Gaddy,
of Wadesboro, saying: "Arres2 the
men that got on the train at Lilies
ville'' There was no time to lose.
Some of those who assisted in the ar
rest were in bed, but when the train
arrived they were in the car almost
by the time it stopped and covered
the desperadoes with revolvers and
forced them to surrender. Does any
body believe that these criminals, or
those at Monroe, would have been ar
rested without the use of the tele-
phone?
Some time ago, at the request OF
the publisher of the Progressive
Farmer, the writer submitted an ar
ticle on "rural telephones" and their
advantages. Among the benefits OF
the general establishment OF the
rural telephone system we noted that
one of the benefits would be the ten
dency to lessen terrible crimes over
the country, inasmuch as it would
render it almost impossible for a
criminal to escape. My claim for this
advantage has been abundantly veri-
fed by the arrest of six safe crack
ers-desperate and cunning charac-
ters-in Union county.
With ten telephone exchanges. two
Others being established and between
300 and 400 telephones in the coun-
try districts, Union county is far in
advance of any other county in the
state in rural telephones, and the
system is growing every day at an
increased ratio.

A young Philadelphian whom We may call

The couple arrived at the hotel in due

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills from common backache to dan

A. T. Ritenour, owner of the wood

La Grippe have been sufferer
from kidney troubles, which made
themselves apparent in racking
pains through the region of the kid
neys and across the small of my
back. The pains were always Sc
we're, and sometimes so sharp and
biting that they compelled me to
take to my bed. The kidney secre-
tions furnished further evidence of
disorders. They were off color, ir-
regular, and painful Of passage.
Added to this there was an annoying
weakness. The newspaper advertise
ments of Doan's Kidney Pills attract
ed my attention, and procured a
box of that remedy at Franck Baker
& Sons drug store. The relief I ex-
perienced was magical. The pills
lifted me from my bed of sickness,
placed me on my feet, and made me
a we'll man. I can work as well as
ever. Doan's Kidney Pills, I believe,
saved my life. They are a great
remedy to stop kidney troubles re-

BLACKBERRY BRANDY ALL BAD.
Minnesota Dealers Confess That 1t
Must Contain a Preservative.

All blackberry brandy is said to
contain an injurious preservative,
aalycilic acid, and cannot be sold,
even though the wholesalers there say
that if it is labeled it can be sold the
same as baking powder or any
material likely to be adulterated.
Oae jobber said that man can pur-
chase strychnine or any other poison
at a drug store. even il il is mixed
with whisky, but If liquor contains
anything as a preservative it is CON
demned.
One large Minneapolis wholesaler
says he has stopped the sale of
blackberry brandy. for, according to
law. II is all adulterated. 1t must
contain a certain per cent. OF salycilic
acid, he says, to keep it from turning
into vinegar. In all probability there
is not quart of the brandy that does
not contain this drug as preserva-
tive.

with selling blackberry brandy ccr-
tanning saycilic acid, pleaded guilty.

Across the winter snow
But where are the little footprints all
That mark the path from the Churchyard wall?
They are those of the children walked tonight
From sleep by the Christmas bells and light
King sweetly, chimes! Soft, soft my rhymes!
Their beds under the snow
Noel Noel!
Carols each Christmas bell
What the wraiths OF mist
That gather anear the wndow-pane
Where the winter frost all day hath lain?
They are souess elves, who fain would peer
Within and laugh at Christmas cheer;
Ring fleetly chimes Swift, swift, my rhymes
They made of the hooking mist
Noel! Noel!
Cease, cease, each Christmas bell
Under the holly bough,
Where the happy children throng and shout,
What shadow seems to Ait about?
Is it the mother then, who died
Ere the greens were sere last Chrishnas-tide?
Hush, falling chimes Cease, cease, my rhymes
