Money Needed.

The trusts are doing all they can
to cripple the money market, and, if
possible, bring on a panic For this
reason the money market is very
tight and our banks are experiencing
some trouble in getting money to
move the crop. No doubt there is
great deal of idle money in the hands
Of the people. If this was ali put in
the banks where it could be used to
help move the crops it would do a
great deal Of good. So if you have
any money let the banks have it un-
til the stringency is over. In thirty
days the South will have plenty Of
money and can snap her fingers in
the face of the thriving trusts. Plen-
ty Of money means good prices. Let
us all do what we can to help the
banks to move the crops. When you
sell cotton put the money in the
banks until You need it. Every little
helps out.

declared that ne did not believe in
insurance. This is the Lords build

His view prevailed and there was
no insurance. In few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally!consumed by fire. An.
other one was erected. Mr.. Sipes
contributed the greater portion Of
the fund as before. This time the
demand was almost unanimous that
it be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again
objected on the same ground.

A Strange Case.

A dispatch from Chicago says the
old saying that murder will out
some time in an unusual way Wed
nesday night, when Policeman Walsh
awakened d man who was asleep in q
doorway of the Illinois Hospital,
Washington boulevard and Halstead
street.
The man, long a fugitive from JUS
tice, opened his eyes, saw the police
mans star and leaped to his feet
with a shrek.
"You want me for the murder?
You are a policeman" he cried, as
he stood dazed before Walsh. A mo
ment afterward he collected his wits
and ran, but the policeman, drawing
his revolver, forced the man to stop
and led him to the station.
At the station, the prisoner at first
denied being a murderer, but later
broke down and confessed that he is
Charles F. Burbage wanted in Green
leaf, S. c.. with a man named W. P.
7. Rawley, for the murder Of Gus
Tanner, a negro, two years ago.
He says he was arrested after the
murder, which occurred in a saloon
brawl, but escaped. Brawley, he
said, escaped arrest at the time. Bur-
bage added that he had been fugi-
tive from justice for two years.
The strange part about this case is
that the man is not guilty of the
murder he says he is. This murder
was committed by another man, who
was arrested, tried and convicted of
the crime. Burbage was not even in
the vicinity when the murder was
committed:
BGrbage was convicted Of violat-
ing the dispensary law. Gov. Ansel
was Solicitor Of the circuit when he
was convicted and knows all about
both cases.
