WHISKY MAILED IN OLD SHOE.
No Stamps Were Put ON 1t, and Car
RE Missed Her Booze.

Because there were no stamps up
on it a large and slovenly wrapped
package addressed to Carrie Gray
son, Hamilton, Ga, was turned over
by the Atlanta postoffice department
to the mike" Office for investigation
as to the sender There being no
outside clue as TO his identity the
package was opened and found to
contain two old shoes, in one of
which, carefully tucked away, was a
bottle of Decatur street corn whisky.
The sender evidently thought he
was violating the prohibition law by
sending liquor through the mails, so
he made it look like a package of
shoes.
It is against the postal regulations
to send liquids through mails except
in specified packages, bottles not in
cluded.
The package is now waiting for
Carrie Grayson's friend.

GOV. SMITH MADE SPEECH.
Said at Carrollton That Too Much
Credit Caused Panic.

CreQIC caused Hamc.
Governor Smith made the princi-
pal speech at the opening of the
Fourth district agricultural school
at Carrollton, and was greeted by
several hundred people.
The governor was at his best and
spoke for one hour and twenty min
utes. He outlined the purposes of
the agricultural and mechanical
school and expectations of it's sup
porters. He touched upon many
phases of industrial education, but
devoted most of his time to scien-
tific farming
Mr.. Smith diverged enough to tell
the farmers that in his opinion the
financial panic was caused by too
much trading on credit and exposure
of leaders of industry.
He expressed the opinion that the
panic would soon be over and things
settle down to a normal state.

THIS BALL COST 100000
A FEATURE AT A
PARTY OF ONE OF BIG RICH.
Beautiful Insects From All the World
Contributed to Make Debut of a
Philadelphia Girl Notable.

Five hundred beautiful butterflies,
gathered in Peru, Brazil and even in
India, were turned loose over the
heads of half that many gorgeously
dressed women at the ball given in
Philadelphia by James w. Paul, Jr.,
to mark the 100000 debut of his
daughter, Mary Astor Paul, into So
ciety.
The insects futtered about help
lessly, rested upon the shoulders of
the women, perched on the flowers
and incidentally fell into the plates.
This was the star feature of an af-
fair in which Mr.. Paul, who is a
member of the Drexel banking firm,
eclipsed the famous ball which he
gave to his elder daughter, Mrs, Paul
Dencia Mills, four years ago.
The bill for the flowers alone was
$50, 900, one of the features being
new rose, a. cross between the Ameri-
can beauty and another, which it
took nine years to develop. 1t is
called the Wynnemore, and 5000
were used in the decorations.
The ballroom of the horticultural
hall had been transformed into an
exact replica of a French garden of
the Louis XVI period. Sixteen mag

A waterfall was arranged at one end
and splashed down into a mass of
verdure.
Collectors, it is said, spent months
getting the butterflies, many of which
died on their way to this country
Scores dropped to the floor during
the dancing and were crushed under
the dancers feet.

in the trial by Olin Wimberly, Minter

and Judge j. S. Adams of Dublin.
Mr.. Arnold and Judge Adams were
retained about two weeks ago for
the case, and have been making
thorough Investigations since that
time.
Although the cases of the state
against Cabaniss and Orr have been
mentioned at times as the Cabaniss-
Orr cases they will not be tried to-
gether. Just which case will be
called first has not been determined
by the court.
The date for the trial has been
fixed at February 3rd, and on that
day Judge Whipple will not expect
any motion for a further delay. Mr..
Cabaniss announced ready for trial
when the case was first called, will
do so on the 3rd of next month.

A Merry BURGLAR WAS HE

PROPRIETOR OF THE STORE.
In One Night Several BurgIaries

A Residence Was Burned.

In One Night Several Burglarles
Were Committed in Americas.
A Residence Was Burned.
Americas is the scene now of bur-
glarious exploits common in south
west Georgia cities recently.
One night recently the Sheffield
Huntington hardware store and Dod-
son pharmacy were burglarized and
cash registers raided, while the
James Ryals residence was plundered
by thieves and burned afterwards,
the family being away. Fifteen hun
dred dollars loss was sustained by
the fire.
At Dodsons pharmacy the thief
rifled the cash register, taking $3.50
therefrom. His cool impudence was
here manifested, as he wrote a
charge ticket and left it in the reg
lister, charging the $3.50 to DR.. Dod-
son.
He Took Few Drinks.
Pocketing the contents of the reg
lister the young man turned to the
soda fount for a refreshing drink.
Different syrups we're drawn in
separate glasses, but none Of these
suited his discriminating taste until
the coca-cola compartment was
reached. He helped himself liberal
ly to this, then probably took CT
gar and went out.
This fellow, whose nerve exceeded
even the speed limit for burglars,
was seen by a citizen as he left the
store and recognized as white man
of the town.
Another citizen caught four ne
groes concealed beneath his resi-
dence, evidently for the purpose of
burglarizing. In another residence
recently vacated all gas jets were
turned on, probably for the purpose
of burning the building.
No arrests have been made.

AN OLD STAMP BRINGS FORTUNE
81. 900 Paid for One Issued in Alex
andria, Va, in 1S47.


New Workers are commenting on
the sale of a stamp the other day by
a Philadelphia dealer to George II.
Worthington of Cleveland for S4,-
600. The stamp is a postmaster
provisional, issued in Alexandria,
Va. in 1847, and is on blue paper
Two or three specimens of the
stamp have been known to collect
ors, but they are on buff paper, and
this is the only known specimen on
blue paper.
1t was found on an old letter
among some family treasures by
Mrs. M. Fawcett of Alexandria, and
by her shown to a New York col
lector. He told her it was very val
liable. and it finally found it's way
into the hands of the dealer who sold
it to Mr.. Worthington. Collectors
there say that the price was fair
one. but that the stamp would doubt
less have brought at least $4,000 in
England, where much higher prices
are paid for rare stamps than in
America.

ANOTHER NICE YOUNG MAN
GIVES OUR CUTHBERT NEIGH
BORIS MORE EXPERIENCE.

When Arrested on Account of Boz
gus Draft New Found Friend
Cashed Another One For Him.
The Cuthbert Leader came to hand
Friday with the following story of
the arrival of a nice young man in
that town and subsequent develop
ments:
about two weeks ago there ar
rived in Cuthbert young man Civ
ing his name as Francis Warren and
claiming to be a Presbyterian min
lister. At Carrabelle he passed as a
u. D.
Warren desired to preach at the
Presbyterian church, but as he did
not show proper credentials the
church officers declined to let him
occupy their pulpit until assured Of
the truth of his claims. They set on
foot Investigations.
I'm response to instructions from
Carrabelle Sheriff Bynum arrested
Mr.. Warren. 1t was claimed that he
had secured $50 through the Cara
belle bank on a draft returned as
N. G. Warren stoutly protested his
innocence, and the sheriff and his
deputies took charge of the man and
did not carry him to Jail.
Saturday the sheriff from Cara
belle was here, but he returned with
out prisoner. Warren talked so
plausibly and had so ingratiated
himself in the confidence of our citi-
zens that two of them agreed to be
responsible for him until he should
have had sufficient time to establish
his innocence or make good the
draft
Sunday a gentleman from Talla-
hassee appeared on the scene, claim
ing that he was out $25 because he
had Endorsed a draft for Warren. He
returned home without pressing mat
ters.
Zone of our citizens Endorsed a
check for Warren, but becoming sus-
picious called for the return Of his
money, which was readily aceeded to.
I'm the meantime answers to in
quiries concerning Warren began to
come in. Parties living in places
where Warren said he had served
churches wrote that he was not
known there. Church officials as
serted that his name could not be
found among the preachers of any
branch of the Presbyterian church.
The president of the Anti-Saloon
League of Florida, upon whom War
rem had drawn drafts, spoke unfiat-
teringly of Warren, stating that he
has wife and two children. Here
and in Carrabelle Warren passed as
an unmarried man.
I'm view of these things Warren
has again-been taken charge of by
Sheriff Bynum, but has not been
locked up.
Warren is a nice looking young
man of about Is or &c, apparently
He has nice manners and is a smooth
talker. He has taken part in SER
vices at one of our churches and
visited at several homes"

THE MAIL ORDER MENACE
NOW THE CASH RETAIL TRADE
&c REING DRAWN CITYWARD.
amazing Growth of Big City Con-
Germs That Drain the Country
of Money Which Should
Be Spent at Home.


of Money Which Should
Be Spent at Home.
In Maxwell's Talisman are the fol-
lowing remarks on the mail order
business by Richard Hamilton Byrd;
# is a recognized fact that the re-
.ou business Of the country villages
and the large towns, for that mat
+or is being destroyed. Year by
,,oor the once prosperous merchants
oro being forced to the wall-driven
ont nv the mail order business. And
This is taking place in face OF the
fact that the population and purchas-
mo mower of the country districts
are ever on the increase.
What is the matter?
The mail order houses are draw
mo the cash retail trade from its nat
ura1 channels to the cities.
The growth of this octopus has
been phenomenal. From a jellylike
idea without form-an experiment
fifteen years ago, it has grown to
rronortions that threaten the exter-
mination of the retail country mer-
chant.
An idea of the way the money OF
the people is being drawn into this
mail order trade can be had from
the reports of some of these houses.
certain mail order house OF chi
cago which began with few thou
sand dollars fifteen years ago now
carries a capital stock of $5,OOO,0OO
and has arranged to increase that
stock to s40,O00,000. 1t does a bust
ness of $5,OO0,O0O month and
earns a net profit of 100000
year.
Why do they do it? 1t is owing
partially to the desire of the average
person to be humbugged and par
tally to the effect of persistent ad-
vertising. The mail order house
sends out it's attractive literature to
every family in the country. In this
literature, composed of we'll illus
trated catalogues and cheap maya
zines known as mail order papers,
the goods are set out in the most at
tarctive manner 1t is tempting
bait. and the fish bite.
All of these millions come out OF
the legitimate trade of the country
merchant, the man who has invested
his capital, built himself a home and
been active in building up the
town, with the expectation that he
would be allowed to do a legitimate
business in a legitimate way. He is
entitled to the trade of his town ana
the country adjacent. He pays MS
taxes and contributes to the support
of the community. That community
owes him reciprocal duty-the
duty to give him the preference OF
trade, everything else being equal.
This is the theory of all organized
civilized communities, beginning
with the family and going on up
through every organization to that
of the state. Home protection from
foreign robbers is the first duty OF
every good citizen. If the village
and town life that has grown up un-
der natural laws of trade is to be
maintained the retail business must
be preserved against the unfair in
roads of the mail order business.
And this can be done only by organl-
cation and education Let the people
know the facts about the mail order
business, and the offerings on the
altar of credulity will grow beautl-
fully less.

MONEY AND WHISKEY"
ARE THE TWO DISTURBING CUES
TIONS BEFORE CONGRESS.
The Demand of Southern Members

for Strong jug Law Is Thorn
in the Republican Pillow.
A Washington dispatch says the
indications all are that the first ses-
sion of the sixtieth congress will be
barren, so far as legislation of ma
terial Importance is concerned. Only
one question is agitating the MAORI
ty leaders in the house and senate.
This concerns the framing of finan-
cial bill, by which it will be pos
sible to stife the urgent demand from
all sections of the country for relief
without interfei ing VITA the schemes
of the money power in the east and
west.
Speaker Cannon and the house
leaders have shifted the responsible
itv for relief to the senate, where
Senator Aldrich is expected to ma
nipulate the question in a manner
satisfactory to the corporation 1nfiu-
ences in the party.
Next on the calendar is the amend
ment of laws governing interstate
commerce so far as they refer to
the transportation of Intoxicating IL
quors from one state to another.
Many of the southern and western
states are interested in this ques-
ton and bill making the shipment
of liquors into a prohibition state
illegal is reasonably sure to be
passed.
southerners Want Strong National
jug Bill.
Money and Whiskey'' are the real
thorns in the republican pillow. The
voters of the south are completely
aroused over the prohibition ques-
ton and are determined that con-
gress shall pass an effective bill,
which will prevent liquor dealers
from setting their prohibition laws
at naught by moving out of the state
and shipping their products into
their bailiwicks from the borders of
another state.
Senator Tillman has gotten the
senate into two squabbles over the
question, and has finally introduced
an amendment to the old Wilson law
declaring that the point of entry
shall be the boundary of the state
instead of the point of delivery, as
held by the courts to apply to the
old law.
