A DastardIy Deed.

News of dastardly crime oc-
curing near Dillon about two
weeks ago has just reached here.
Lafayette Barnes and his wife are
two old people living alone.
Some time ago Mrs. Barnes in
herited a sum of money from her
father, Sim Morris, and they had
buried it in the garden for safe
keeping. This was generally
known TO the community, al
though the exact amount was un-
known to anybody save the old
couple themselves. On the night
in question Mr.. Barnes and his
wife we're at supper, when they
were alarmed by the strange bark
ing Of their dog. Mr.. Barnes
arose from the table and started
out to investigate. As he reach
ed the back door a man wearing a
white mask halted him with a
shotgun and demanded his money.
Hearing the protesting voice Of
her husband, Mrs. Barnes joined
him, and as she did SO another
man with a pistol and similarly
masked appeared on the gallery.
Both men so intimidated the old
couple that they were half dead
with fear. They not only threat
ened them with instant death, but
said they would conceal the hid
eous crime by setting fire to the
house and cremating their bodies.
While this conversation was in
progress, Billy Barnes, son of the
old man, who lives across the road,
heard the trouble and came into
the yard; the man with the pistol
heard him coming, and, meeting
him, compelled the young man to
return or be shot. He naturally
chose the former alternative, and
went back to his house. By this
time the old couple were so terror
stricken that they were willing to
do whatever the desperate men
ordered, and they led the way to
the garden where their treasure
was buried. The robbers promis-
ed to divide tho money equally
with them, but when it was un-
covered one of them grabbed the
box containing it and made off
with it, the other following and
firing his gun several times.
There is absolutely no clew to the
perpetrators of this dastardly
crime, although Mr.. Barnes
claims to entertain suspicious.
He will not diYulge them, how
ever, and the affair SO far remains
a complete mystery Magnolia

THE YELLOW
FEVER SITUATION.
MEN CASES REACHED HIGR.NATEH
MARK SATURDAY
los Cases for Day. With an EncOur.
aging Decrease Since.

On the whole, the yellow fever
situation is one Of hope and en-
couragement. Saturdays record
in New Orleans was the worst yet
reported as the number of new
cases. The total for that day was
105, deaths 8, new foci, 25.
The large increase of new cases
reported Saturday is credited to
close inspection by Government
authorities than had prevailed
previously. This claim is borne
out by the encouraging reports
since Saturday, which are as fol
lows:
Sunday New cases, so; deaths,
12; new sub-foci, IA.
Monday New cases, 55; deaths,
IL; new sub-foci, s.
Tuesday New cases, 50;
deaths, s.; new snb-foci, 19.
This makes the totals in New
Orleans to date as follows:
Discharged as cured, 525; I'm
der treatment, 3S4; deaths, III;
total cases, 1880; foei, 229.
a few new cases are reported
in Louisiana outside of New Or
leans, at Patterson, Tallulah, and
lin st. Charles and Jefferson par.
fishes among Italians on sugar
plantations. All of them are
ltraceable to the original infection
in New Orleans.
The war on the mosquitoes and
work of general sanitation are
being pushed by the Marine Hos.
pital service and authorities oil
New Orleans. A considerable
number of real estate owners who
refused or neglected to screen
/ their cisterns, have been arrested
and called to answer in court.
The outcome of the test being
made by DR.. Reginald Leach is
being watched by thousands and
may help to solve the difficult
problem New Orleans and the
South generally have to deal with.
Mississippi, we rejoice to say
remains free from the dreaded
pestilence. Two suspicious cases
reported at Raymond Tuesday
lproved to be fever of another

THE DODCER CRAZE.
Newspaper Advertising Far Ahead OI
This Method.

Daily Clarion -Ledger.l
There are q great many people
in this day and generation who
have the dodger craze; probably
hand bill is a more widely ac-
quainted word to use in this con-
nection.
An entertainment is to be given.
IOf course advertising is the first
thing thought Of because all we'll
posted people know that nothing
is going to succeed without adver-
tising. The next is what manner
of advertising shall we use. Hand
bills of course, some one replies.
And whyg Because they are
cheap. And therein lies the rea-
son. They are undoubtedly cheap,
but do they pay for themselvesa
The best posted authorities in
the United States on the subject OF
advertising have agreed that a few
lines in a newspaper that is read
in the family circle is better than
a million hand bills. People don't
care for hand bills, they are cheap,
a nuisance and rarely read.
Department stores and circuses
use handbills for the purpose oil
reaching that class Of people who
do not read newspapers; as a sup.
plement they are very good te
newspaper advertising in chat way
only. As the only means of ad.
vertising your wares they are a
failure. The man who depends or
them entirely will soon learn thai
the one who places a neat and at
tractive advertisement in the daily
newspapers is the one who secures
the better class of trade.
On this subject the Jacksonville
Times Union has the following
which aptly illustrates the value
fof newspaper advertising and the
worthlessness of 'dodgers::'
Dodgers are used but little il

out here with more new ideas ano

remarks coined for bargain day

day scheduled, and the plan wal
hit upon after the morning paper
lhad been published and the even

late to serve as an advertising me
dium for baseball game. Blu

lefty by the thousands, both in The
business and residence parts of tht

was thoroughly covered and tha
the usual crowd would be out

were just seventy two people al
against 900 to 1900 when ths
fgames are advertised just one day
in the daily press, and with only
three or four lines space at that.
