NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-Miss
Alice Smith, Is years old, of No.
10h Golden street, Jersey City,
and John J. Dolan. will not be mar
ried as they had expected. because
young Dolan has been arrested
charged with the larceny of a
watch, which he had given Miss
Smith as a wedding present.
Miss Smith called on Mrs. Bar
bara DINNERS of 300 Grand street
Jersey City. to ask Mrs. Dinners
to be guest at the wedding. Then
she showed Mrs. DINNERS the
watch Dolan had given her.
"That's the watch that was stolen
from me-" exclaimed Mrs. Dim
mers. When Dolan next called at
Miss Smiths house a policeman
was waiting for him. A watch
found on Dolan after his arrest was
identified by Miss Smith as her
property. ,--
!, Dolan swore that he had bought
the pawn tickets for the watches
and redeemed them. He gave the
police the name of the man from
whom he bought the tickets.

effect Of the report will be to rob
those orphans and waits Of that
pleasure exactly in proportion as
its misleading statements are &C.
cepted by the public and co-opera-
ton withheld.
Several weeks ago woman's or
ganization had decided to give a
benefit for the home. Hardly had
the arrangement been made when
George Armstrong, president of the
board Of public works, broke loose
with q declaration that he would
put the home out of business. He
did this in the face Of non-con-
demnatory report on the home from
committee Of doctors that in
spected the buildings. Lately one
of the city inspectors went to the
home, pretended to examine the
heating appliances and served no.
tice that 1t must be fixed. A heat
ing appliance mechanic was sent
for by Mrs. Dey. He went over the
pipes carefully and stated that
there was nothing for him to do.

NO MORE SALOON
LICENSES


Spokane saloon keepers who
have their licenses tucked away in
safe places had better hang on to
them. Saloon licenses are likely to
be in lively demand this next 10
years. An ordinance passed by the
council two years ago states that
as soon as the proportion of one
saloon to every 500 Inhabitants has
been reached, n more lisenses shall
be issued until 1000 additional in
habitants have been registered. In
other words, until the next census
no more licenses will be issued I'M
less some one goes out of business.
Hotel men, however, may provide
a bar for their patrons If they have
over so rooms. Spokane now has
243 saloons, and her official popu-
lation is 100000 Inhabitants, SO that
the city already has more than the
specified number of dispensaries.

Spokane, the investigation was
made "early in the winter" leav-

DENTISTS

In our practice we find
the proper care of children s
teeth the most perplexing
question in all our work.
That is the care they should
have to prevent decay and
malacclusion. To take the
child first to one and then
to another dentist is bad
practice. They should be
under the care Of one good
dentist, and not different
ones.
Where 1t is necessary to
extract the temporary teeth
to admit the permanent
ones, it should be done with
great precaution.
Too many temporary teeth
should not be extracted at
one time, leaving the mouth
too. sore, or without teeth to
chew the food. Some den
fists think it is the proper
thing to begin and take the
entire number out while the
child is in the office and in
the notion, which is entirely
wrong. Only have the badly
crowded and the ones above
the flushed or swollen gums,
which is sign Of the new
tooth wanting to come
through.
It is quite advisable to fill
temporary teeth with some
soft, easy inserted filling, in
order to retain them until
the new tooth asks admit
lance.

THE STATES PRIZE WINNER.
What Il Farmer in Calhoun County
Did this Year with Corn.

James M. Moss. of st. Matthews,
has been awarded the first prize Of
$500 by the State Corn Contest Com
mission. His yield was 500.5 bushels
on five acres. lie made 1872 points
out Of the possible 100. We get
these facts from our exchanges, and
are delighted to note these evidences
OF an agricultural awakening all over
the State.
Mr.. Moss is an illustration of the
fact that 1t is the man behind the
gun that counts. His present planta-
ton, which is acknowledged to be
one of the most fertile and product
i've in the entire State, and which in
cluded the land on which the corn
was planted, was acknowledged to be
one OF the poorest plantations in that
section when Mr.. Moss purchased it
Il few years ago. The fertility Of this
land Is due to the fact that he uses
quantities of homemade compost and
rotatcs his crops. His farm is also
thoroughly drained by underground
tiling, and Is now garden spot, and
in every sense Of the word a model
farm. He not only raises all of his
supplies, but derives a handsome
profit from the sale of asparagus,
corn, oats, wheat and hay, cotton,
and also hogs, sheep and cattle.
Mr.. Moss is one OF the few farm
crs Of the State who keeps a detailed
book account Of the cost Of every
crop he raises. There is big de-
mand in various sections for his seed
oats, cotton seed and other of his
farm crops.
Mr.. Moss is a man Of considerable
means. He has large family Of
boys and girls. to whom he has given
the very best college education; all
Of which goes to prove that with the
right man farm life in South Caro-
lima is not only a most independent
life, but most rcmuncrative one.

AGRICULTURE WORK IN s. G.
Secretary Wilson Writes of Growth
of Department in this State.

James Wilson, secretary of agr-
culture, has written the following let
ter to Commissioner Watson regard
ing the work Of his department IN
this State:
Il have been considering the re-
ports that come from South Carolina
with regard to the past seasons ac-
tivities Of your people in cooperation
with this department.
"The Southern States generally are
giving critical attention to the pro-
duction Of farm crops, for which
there is great need. The South has
raised the greatest corn crop in it's
history, and we are now sending bull
letins by the hundred thousand to
Southern farmers, suggesting meth
DDS by which they can conduct swine
culture along breeding and feeding
lines so that the people of that sec
ton can produce their own meats.
need do no more than mention the
large increase in the corn crop of
your State. You krow more about
that than We do here, but 1t Is very
gratifying to us.
"The department is particularly
active in helping the people on the
west side of the cotton-growing
States to grow cotton in defiance of
the boil weevil. We are also helping
to get rid Of the cattle tick, so that
the. South may do more along meat
producing lines, which will compre-
hend the use of their own cotton
seed meal and their own animals, in
stead Of sending 1T all over the world,
and this will result in furnishing to
the soil the best fertilizers known to
agriculture. Your pasture conditions
and your dairy industry will be ex-
tended. diversified agriculture will
result, and you will grow larger
crops Of cotton than you are growing
now, on less land.
Our cooperation with the South
Carolina people has been very salts
factory and very pleasant to us and
hope it may continue with increasing
valuable results"

The Passing of Il Pioneer.

Anthony Murphy, aged so, pio-
neer citizen OF the South, and one
OF the two men who pursued and
captured the famous engine Gene
ral,' when the latter had been seiz-
ed and carried off from Marietta.
Ga, by Federal raiders during the
Civil War, died in Atlanta on Tues
day OF last week
Murphy was born in Ireland and
came to this country when 20 years
old. He became one Of the construc-
tors of the Western Il Atlantic rail
road, but when the war broke out,
entered the Confederate service, and
because Of his skill in mechanics was
assigned by Governor Brown, father
Of the present Governor of Georgia,
to assemble men to make guns.
On April l2, 1862, the Federal
secret service arranged to seize
train at Marietta, cut off the engine,
run it from Big Shanty, Ga, to Chat
tanOoga, Tenn, burning bridges and
cutting wires between the two
places, and thus cutting the Conted-
crate line OF communication. The
plan was carried out almost success
fully. The Federal officers boarded
the train at Marietta, Ga, and while
the passengers and crew were at
breakfast at Big Shanty, seven miles
north Of Marietta, cut off the en-
gine and started on mad race of
destruction.
The action of the Federal party,
who posed as Southern refugees anx-
ious to join the Confederate army,
aroused the suspicion OF Mr.. Murphy,
who was then foreman of the West
crn & Atlantic round house at Big
Shanty. When the General" start
ed on its wild race, Murphy and two
others started on foot in pursuit,
sciZing hand car later, ran it to
Etowah, Ga, where the engine
'reXas" was impressed. For fifty
one miles the race continued to Ring
gold, Ga, where the General" was
captured as the men IN charge at
tempted to burn bridge. Several
Of the Federal officers were summar-
lily executed. But the plan Of the
Union forces to cut the Confederate
communications was defeated.
Although the engines were of a
crude type, most Of the race was
made at the rate OF 60 miles an
hour. Murphy was the engineer and
JEFF Cain, the train engineer, and
Capt. Fuller the conductor, fired for
him.
The war left Murphy pcnniless,
but he set to work again cheerfully,
and when he died had amassed q
fortune OF half a million dollars in
the saw mill and lumber business

GORDON A NOTED CHAIsAC CTER.
lie Was Accused OF Completely in the
killing of Abraham Lincoln.

(Jackson Special to Memphis News
Scimitar.)
Sought at one time by the Fede-
raj authorities under reward Of
$4,000 for his capture, dead or
alive, for alleged conspiracy in the
murder Of President of the United
States and now appointed as a men,
ber Of the Legislative body Of that
country, Is the strange experience of
Col. James Gordon, OF Okolona, who
has been named by Governor Noel
as successor to the late Senator A. j.
McLaurfn, of Mississippi.
Col. Gordon was one of the several
Confederate leaders suspected OF be-
ing in conspiracy with j. Wilkes
Booth to kill President Abraham
Lincoln. He escaped arrest and prob
able death only through the inter-
vention, it Is stated, Of Yankee col
onel with whom he had crossed
swords in fight in Virginia
During the earlier years of the war
friendship with Booth, and after the
assassination Of President Lincoln
the reward Of $4,000 was offered
for his capture. Col. Gordon went to
Canada and 1t was several months
after the close Of hostilities before
he found 1t safe to return home.
During one Of the campaigns In
Virginia, Col. Gordon had crossed
swords with the colonel of New
York cavalry regiment. Both were
wounded in the conflict. but they af-
terwards became fast friends.
Col. Gordon wrote letter to this
New Yorker denying that he had any
part in the Lincoln conspiracy, and
stating that he desired to return to
his home. The former foe took the
matter up with Gen. Dicks, then Iii
command of the army forces in New
York, and the latter sent him
passport and an invitation to come
to New York and surrender, which
he did. He afterwards satisfied Gen.
Dicks that he knew nothing Of the
Lincoln conspiracy.
He took the oath of allegiance and
returned to his home in Chicasaw
county. mississippi, where he has
since resided.
