HIS ARM NEARLY SHOT OFF.

There is a mystery surrounding the
shooting OF the man. Edmondson does
not know when or now he was shot
and must have been drunk when it
occurred. There had been an attempt
made by some one to dress the wound
some days ago.
"All I know is that l was shot sew.

ANOTHER YEAR OF PROSPERITY

The good year 1906 is going to
be one of great prosperity in Geor-
gain the entire South. Whether
the cotton growers adhear to the
resolution passed in New Orleans,
plant "a, 900, 900 acres and produce
about 100000 bales this year, or
whether they plant $4,000, 900
acres and produce about 10000.
900 bales, the South is assured of
at least one more prosperous year
Whether the yield is nine millions
or twelve millions the crop will be
worth in the neighborhOod of six
hundred million dollars. That will
60 into the pockets of the cotton
growers and, according to condi-
tons, between two hundred and
twenty millions and two hundred
and eighty millions will be net
profit. What will they do with
it? There are mortgages yet to be
paid but fewer than heretofore
and the cotton growers of the
South will have more money to
spend as they please than ever be-
fore in their lives. At such times
the men with the dollars should
recall the times of eight and ten
years ago, the times when cotton
sold for five cents. 1t is all right
to spend money to good purpose
but the tendency to throw it away
is too natural with Southerners.
The farmer should live comfor-
tably at home and his wife should
be relieved of drudgery before
blOoded horses are bought; and in
any event god mules should pre-
cede fine horses, and good wagons
have precedence over rubber tired
buggles. And, whatever the organ
man may say to the contrary, there
is no use getting an organ when
there is none to play it. The farm
should be equipped with needed
implements and stocked with COWS
and pigs and then, if there is a
surplus, it should Re invested in
some dividend earning concern;
something that will help develop
and build up the community and
State.

the commissioner being now engaged
In calling on the chairman Of the sew

urging upon them the necessity of rigid
enforcement Of all rules as to sanita-I
ton.
The slaughter houses are the worst
offenders against decent cleanliness, ac-
cording TO an extended investigation!
which the state commissioner has just
made. They are generally found in
some remote place where the offensive
doors will not reach the town or any
farm house If possible, Inc OF
the disgusting odor they are never WIS.,
tied by anyone except the butcherS, ana
their calls are as short as possible. The
interior appliances of the average small
slaughter house, says Mr.. Small. are
rarely il ever washed, the walls are
covered with blood, grease and filth,
which at this season attracts sWarms
of flies, the adjoining pens and yards
are deep with filth, and the whole forms
an ideal breeding place for disease.
The stock yards at railroad stations.
while either whitewashed or painted, in
many instances are usually dirty n in
q condition to spread contagious dis
eases among healthy cattle that may
be confined there; and the back rooms
and yards of the local meat markets
are often quite at variance with the
apparent cleanliness In front OF the
counters, says Mr.. Small.
All places where cattle are corraled
and where meat Is prepared must be
regularly inspected, says the state COM
missioner, and he is determined to pro-
vide a clean meat supply for South
Dakota. SO far as the local stock yards,
slaughter houses and markets are

HORSE THIEVES ESCAPE.
Posse in Pursuit of Gang at White
Lake Fails to Effect Capture.

White Lake, s.. D., July IA horse
stealing raid. which bore a striking re-
semblance to the raids Of early pioneer
days, has just boen made in the region
tributary to White Lake, but by reason
of the promptness with which a posse
of citizens took up the trail of the
thieves their plans were frustrated and
they were compelled to abandon the
stolen animals.
The thieves first visited the pasture
of County Commissioner Dunbar and
ran off ten head Of valuable horses, and
then the barn Of Thomas Miller. and
stole n of his horses. They then fled
with the stolen animals, but the whole
sale theft was speedily discovered and
a posse started on the trail of the
thieves without delay. They were
traced as far as Bijou Hills, near the
Missouri i've in the southern part OF
Brule county, where the pursuers got
so close pom the heels of the horse
thieves that they were forced to aban-
don the animals in order to make their
own escape
The fact that the stolen horses were
being driven in that direction indi-
Gates that the raid was made by mixed
blood Indians from the Rosebud reser-
walton. Had they succeeded in getting
the horses to the west side of the Mis-
souri, river there is little doubt they
never would have been recovered by
the owners.
