THIEF NABBED BUT
MONEY IS LOST

Charles Sherman, teamster, made
a bold attempt yesterday to rob George
Costas, a restaurant keeper OF 696
Valencia street, of ss7 in cash, and was
caught after an exciting chase cover
ing i've blocks, In which Costas was
assisted by Police Oficer Belyea Sher-
man entered the restaurant at an early
hour and ordered meal for which the
charges were So cents. He approached
Costas at the cash register and threw
down a SIS piece in payment for the
meal The restaurant keeper was
obliged to resort to sack Of coin, hold
ing s97, which he carried in his pocket,
to make the change. AS the bag OF
money was displayed Sherman made
sudden lunge over the counter. and
gathering the sack in his hand dashed
out the door and down the street,
with Costas in close pursuit. The res
taurant- man, however, proved poor
match for the f1eet-footed thief, but his
shouts attracted officer Belyea, who
joined in the chase and captured Sher-
man after a run of five blocks.
Upon searching the teamster the sack
of coin was not found. and 1t Is be-
lieved he disposed of the incrimfnat-
ing evidence during the chase. A
search has been instituted by the po-
lice for the missing money. Sherman
was locked up in the Mission police
station to answer to a charge of grand
larceny

Democrats Determined.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Demo
cratic leaders in Congress are de
termined to pass the Clayton reso
luton declaring against thirC
term.
Senator Culberson will press thu
resolution for adoption in the up
per branch of the national legisla
ture. As a majority of the Re
publican Congressman favor the
nomination of Speaker Cannon,
and many of the Republicans Sena.
tors are opposed to the President,
there is little doubt that it will &C
through.
Mr.Clayton declared to-day that
he would call up the resolution the
first thing when Congress recon
venes.
Representative Hefiin. of Ala
bama, to-day stated that one reason
why the Clayton resolution should
be passed was to make certain that
President Roosevelt was not re-
nominated in Chicago next June.
'The resolution went home to
the President" said the speaker,
"for he straighway repeated what
he had said on election night 1904.
1t is possible that the President
fastened to repeat this statement
in the hope that the Clayton reso-
luton would be dropped. Then,
if the Republicans nominate him
against his wishes, there would be
no condemnation of such course
by Congress. The President could
then say it was up to Congress- and
no action was taken. You may be
assured that Congress will have an
opportunity to act"

bonus for something that already
belonged to them. New York
thrives on the money which the
5000 banks throughout the United
States keep in that city. Compared
with Philadelphia and some other
leading towns New York produces
of itself relatively very little
wealth. But it uses the money of
so, 900, 900 people. The cash which
New York sends South and West
to move crops every autumn is
cash which the banks from those
sections have loaned in Wall street.
1t is not New York's money, al
though, judging from that towns
comments, anyone not familiar
with the true facts might suppose
otherwise. Now we witness the
spectacle of Americas so-called
financial center being the only spot
where a premium is paid for cur
rency. The reason is because that
city suffers a money famine, since
the rest of the country has with
drawn only a part of the cash
which it had been lending there.
What would happen if the right
full owners should take all that be-
longs to them may only be mag
ined." There would be a crash,
from which the whole country
would suffer. But SO long as the
money from other communities,
other banks, is tied up In New
York, so long will there be
money panic in those communi-
ties. And not until local banks
resume unreserved payment of
currency will confidence be re-
stored. The situation as to money |
does not look encouraging SO long
as New York pays premium for
Nashville American.

ON READING BOOKS.

Within certain limits spon tanei-
ty is the best of all principles in
reading Provided that the proper
supervision has been exercised to
eliminate the unfit and trivial, boys
and girls might as well be left to
"shift for themselves" in libraries
and catalogues. The thing that
particularly attracts them is the
thing that they should read. Girls
are often forced to waste time on
insipid and colories stories, where
as it is books of healthy adventure,
travel, description and biography
that they crave for, envying the
happier brothers and boy friends
who have access to such stimulating
works.
In the matter of classics greater
discrimination should be exercis-
ed. Some standard books should
be excluded from school reading
because they are too profound and
vital to be sacrificed" in the name
of culture. They can dispense
with compulsion when the readers
are fit to enjoy them. The fear
that they might never be read at all
is not wholly groundless, perhaps,
as things are, but the college pro-
fessors and critics and other liter
airy guides and friends of young
readers can do much to remove
that danger.
However, the great fact remains
that all great literature is good for
all ages and meant for all. The
same book will yield a certain kind
and amount of pleasure at IS, and
different degree of pleasure at
40 or later. They are men who
read "Don Quixote" every five or
ten years or so, and they never find
it unsuitable" The same is true
# Shakespeare, of Milton, of the
great histories and biographies. 1t
is, of course, pre-eminently true
of the Bible. Indeed, the litera-
ture that is limited to this or that
age is of the special and techinal
kind that scarcely deserves to be
classed as literature. And it is the
reading and re-reading, the assimi-
lation and enjoyment of the best in
literature that should be fostered |
among men and women of all ages
and environments indianapolis |

The Farmers Union Of Georgia,
have declared themselves as being
bitterly opposed to immigration, and
will appeal to the Legislature at its
next session not to make any appro-
priation for the furtherance of the
cause in that State. We sentiment
the action of the Georgia Farmers
Union. We have always been op-
posed to- immigration. We believe
that most of the immigrants-most of
them, mark you-will, sooner or later,
become as worthless and no-account
as the average negro, and will be just
as unsatisfactory to deal with. South
Carolina seems to be leading all the
southern states in this matter, and
we sincerely trust that time will prove
that our belief is wrong, ard that
these adopted citizens will be a great
blessing to the farmers of our State,
who are so badly in need of help.
But, we really fear that they will soon
become worthless, and, instead OF
being a blessing, will be a curse.

The Elloree new county promoters
have driven the St. Matthews schem-
.ers into wild desperation. They are
at a great disadvantage, and are re-
sorting to "catch-where-we-can''
methods to get the required territory.
They seem to have no objection to
territory without population, as their
last attempt takes in river swamps,
mud and water, parts of which, are
uninhabited, except by wildcats, rat
tlesnakes and watermoccasins. They
are runningsa very narrow shoe-string
a little north of the old State road
to Savannah Hunt creek. This line
will take in a very small population
of whites, and not so many negroes.
The intention of the promoters in do
ing this is to cut out every possible
opposing vote. We have been in
formed that the lines r now being
established, and until this is done,
the people in that territory are still
in the dark. We believe yet, that
the proposed new county's lame will
be Dennis.

In justice to the county dispensary
board we will state that we have beer
informed that their decision in the es'
t%ablishment Of a dispensary at Brook
land was based on a petition signed
by every business man in the place,
with the exception of one, perhaps.
This seems to account for their ignor-
ing the great moral side, and consid-
ering only the revenue that will be
derived from the institution, which
will go to the town and county
However, the boards judgment to the
contrary, we are still Of the opinion
that the moral side should have been
considered instead of the revenue
derived from the sale of liquor.
