ANOTHER GAMBLING RAID.
Sheriff Linthicum Gathers Them In
Surprises The Crap
Gamesters

Sheriff Joshua Liuthicum has his
war paint on. He is determined 10
break up sin and crime in this city
and county which, he. says. is steepei
In immortality and Is in an awful
condition. The Sheriff sleeps with
his armor on, or he doesn't sleep at
all. He is on the qui Vive day and
night for violators of the law and is
no respector of persons or places.
Down on the Long Wharf - or
on The Point, as il is sometimes
called, IS an old oyster house. The
building is said to belong to Mr.. John
writ Randall, but il has been uuon-
cupled for long time. This old
shed, located as it is in quiet spot,
has been the rendezvous for som
years OF crap shooters, card players
and gamblers. They congregate there
on Sundays as well az on week days.
The Sheriff got on to the place and
last night swooped down upon If.
making haul of small change, a
bank and incidentally of six men. FIVE
white and one colored.
In the raid the SheTiffwas assisted
by Deputies Nicholas w. BrayB.
Smallwood and Beard. They sulround
ed the place. but were unable 10
effect an entrance for some time.
Finally they broke windows aud at
last broke the door down The lag
is on the Sheriff's side, and he is per.
mitted to take strenuous methods in

by the Sheriff are Thomas Jacobs,
William Parkinson, Clarence Kelly,
William 7. Tolson and George Savage,
all white, and William Carter, color
ed. They were surprised at a crnp
game. Only 50 cents was gathered up
on the floor and bank was taken,
the SUN in which is not yet known.
The Sheriff held the men under 500
bail each for their appearance before
Justice Davis tomorrow afternoon.
BY mere chance the men escaped
being landed in jail until the trial
One of the men has an aged mother
living at Germantown and he is her
sole protector. He begged TO De per-
mitted to go home last night for bis
mothers sake, and this saved the
others from spending the night in the
county Jail. The place raided last
night has been a favorite rendezvous
for months, sometimes one hundred
boys and men congregating there 60
shoot crap. Sheriff Linthicum is
cleaning out the town aud intends it
to stay clean for the next two years,
anyhow during his sheriffalty.

Cotton Root Bark SaIable.

TO the Editor Of the News and Cou.
rler; The large manufacturing drug
houses arc again in the market for
cotton root bark.
At present prices of farm labor and
the known value of such labor in
planting fall sown crops, no cotton
grower can afford to gather cotton
root bark for less than ten cents per
pound, delivered at the nearest rail-
road station. If growers will stand
firm and refuse to gather or sell for
less than ten cents, they can secure
that price.
The method for preparing cotton
root bark for market is as follows: @
l. Only the bark of'the root below
ground is wanted. This may be col
looted at any time after the lint is
gathered until early spring or until
such time Us the bark when peeled
shows black streaks on inner side.
:. Cotton root bark must be strip
ped from the woody core while fresh.
The fresh bark peols very easily and
should be removed ca whole as posi-
bic. Before peeling wash the roots
free from sand and clay. Dry the
peeled burk under a shei or other
water tight cover. Turn the bark
every day until as dry as hay. Drying
takes ahcut g week.
3. The dry bark may be packed in
oioau 5aohs, barrels Or boxes. Drug
gists will not buy less than ono hun.
dred pounds. Most of the larger
manufacturing druggists will buy
good bark in lots Of one ton or
more.
l., 4. To secure sale for cotton root
bark growers should first collect a
small lot Of three or four pounds or
30 and: dry, it carefully. Then mail
samples OF about four ounces to each
Of the houses named below, stating
how much bark can be supplied:
.. We advise that the bark De sold
+. o. b. at nearest depot, and that no
offer Of less than 10 cents per pound
be accepted. II no satisfactory offer
is received from samples sent, do not
COLLECT more bark. II. -, -.

of cotton will be about 400 bales,
oc1n. 5000 Bushels, and correspond
ingly larger quantities of other food
crops.
But last year Bryant displayed his
superior skill as tiller of the soil in
the cultivation of his individual six

of cotton, $500 bushels of corn, /, l,0OC
