GREAT JAM FOR BARGAINS
Thousands of Women in Mad Rush
for Cheap Goods.

New York, April 26.-Upwards of
5000 women Saturday engaged in
one of the fiercest bargain riots that
the Brooklyn police have ever been
called upon to quell. The trouble
was caused by literally advertised
sales by rival five and ten-cent
stores, located within a few doors of
each other
So great was the crush from those
who were struggling to be among
the first to gain entrance that scores
of women fell in a faint and were
trampled by women who followed.
Police reserves were called out to
quell the riot Mounted men rode
through the crowd, and by using
their clubs were finally able to force
the women back.

Sacks VIII Be Delivered at 6 Cents.
olympia -- Governor Hay, after
consulting with the members Of the
state board of control, has issued
directions that Superintendent Reed
and State Clerk McCallum, start out
as travelling men to dispose of the
three million grain bags for the state
penitentiary.
The state authorities also decided
to make laid-down price of six
cents, delivered at any station in the
state, which enables the graingrow-
ers In remote counties to get bags at
the same price paid by Walla Walla
growers. Heretofore prices have
been paid for delivery at Walla
Walla. This determination is ex-
pected to move every sack on hand
and all that will be manufactured
this year, and to bring into the state
treasury in excess of $4,000.

subject and bales of statistics com piled tc show why the tide of fmmi- grafton should be set Southward, but statistics are confusion. The meat of the whole proposltion can be sum- med up in brief resume.
 An increased immigration should set in to the South because there is an abundance of cheap land. and be- cause practically every crop can be raised. harvested and marketed with far less work and much greater profit than in any other part of the United States.
 Commercial organizations are doing great work, but there should be more concerted action and more co-opera- tion between city and country. The railroads in the South, and particular ly those in the State of Virginia. have done magnificent work toward the up- building of the country that they tray- erse.
 What commercial organizations in every locality and in every State State should do, is to cooperate with the railroads and make . united effort on a large scale to bring a greater volume of a creative class of emt- grants into the South.
 The writer has always found that the industrial departments of most Of our railroads are ready and willing at all times to give substantial aid to any movement looking to the betterment of industrial and commercial condi- tions along their lines. Why should they not? They are constantly spend ing their own money in that direction. and the only reason they don't do more Is that they are not called upon oftener.
 One thing that every Southerner should bear in mind Is this: While
