In the meantime, while still working
on the laundry proposition, Guerard
solicited subscriptions for quite num-
Der Of standard magazines and period
icals, offering them in clubs at wonder
fully reduced rates, and receiving
sums Of various amounts in payment
therefor, all the way up to 81, So or 80
After sufficient time had elapsed
for some of the magazines to come In,
with nothing heard from them, SUBJ
scribers began to complain and make
inquiry, and write to the publishers,
and Guerard, after keeping his GUS
toners quiet as long as he could, final
ly got out Of town without leaving his
address.
Quite a number of people declared
that the man should be arrested; but
as usual there was nobody to move un-
til Mr. w. s, Gordon, who had been
victimized with a fraudulent check
swore out the necessary warrant, which
was put in the hands of Constable 8.
N. Johnson.
Guerard had not been seen about
Yorkville for several weeks, but he was
located in Abbeville last Thursday, and
Constable Johnson went for him forth
with, finding him in a boarding house,
and bringing him to Yorkville without
unnecessary delay.
AS to just what will be done with
the various warrants has not fully de-
veloped. The impression Is that II
Guerard can make the arrangements.
most of the cases will be compromised.
Mr.. Gordon, however, insists that he
cares nothing about the seven or eight
dollars that he is out; but that he is
moving solely because he believes it's
somebody's duty to move, and he cam
not see 1t in any other way than that
the duty is as much his as somebody
else's.
At least two Of the bad checks are in
excess of 500 each, and the offenses
involved in their utterance put
them within the Jurisdiction of the
court of general sessions.

Another Comet.
Much interest has been manifested
all over the country and locally, during
the past few days, over the appear
ance Of a comet that was visible in the
west just after sunset The comet
was first discovered about ten days ago
by astronomers in South Africa, and
the news was quickly telegraphed over
the world. A few people in Yorkville
and throughout this locality have seen
the comet, through occasional glimpses
Of clear skies during the very few min
utes It has been visible on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights; but gen.
orally the clouds have made views un-
satisfactory. The astronomers tell Us
that down closer toward the equator,
the comet can be seen high in the
heavens. This is not the looked for
Halley's comet, which does not appear
until April; but Is an unheralded
stranger that was discovered accident
ally. The observers through the pow
erful telescopes at Washington and
other places, have been watching the
new visitor with great eagerness, but
have suffered no little disappointment
because Of the cloudy weather. The
comet could not be seen during the
day, because it was obscured by the
brilliancy Of the sun.

The High Price Of Livins.-Proof
that American farm products are be-
Ing sold abroad cheaper than in this
country is being gathered by Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson. This was
the declaration made by him yester-
day at the high cost Of living hear
ing being conducted by a sub-com-
mittee Of the house committee Of the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Wilson gave
ducer at the present was getting lit
tie more than formerly fer his food
products, while the ultimate consumer
was paying an excessive price.
Until comparatively recently the
American people enjoyed the cheap
est food in the world" continued Mr..
Wilson. But nowadays not enough
people know how to farm profitably,
know how to get enough out Of a
days work, know how to make an
acre respond. The lure Of the factory
has called the farmer from the plow."
Secretary Wilson declared that
pensive cities In the land and that re-
tailers in this city demanded AZ per
cent profit where in cities like New
York and Philadelphia they were con-
tent with from II to 20 per cent.
Conditions at the capital, however,
with reference to the cost Of living,
the secretary said, were true to a
great extent Of other cities. He told
the committee that 1t had a great op-
portunity to do service for the whole
people by ascertaining the cause Of
these conditions. Chairman Moore
intimated that the whole matter Of
the cost Of food products from pro-
ducer to consumer would be gone
into. Secretary Wilson was the only
witness examined today.

THE Gastonia News has suspended
publication, and the sheriff has seized
the plant and fixtures for rent and 9TH
er debts. The News was established
about ten years ago, and eked out a
more or less precarious existence, un-
til a few months back, when it was
changed to a weekly, just preceding
the end. 1t is the same old story Of
trying to make two blades of grass
grow where there was only room for
one. The Gazette has always been a
respectable newspaper, efficiently man
aged, and has filled about all the field
that was offered to an extent that has
left no room for legitimate competi-
ton. That is about all there is to the

Washington, January 90. Black
hand cases, the most notable Of which
developed In Ohio, occupied consid-
cradle part of the time Of the post
office inspectors during the last fiscal
year ended June 80, 1909. Such dis
closures as are proper to make about
the operations of bureau which, nee
essarily, must exercise discretion In
the publication of its activities, are
made In the annual report Of Theodore
ingalls,. the acting chief inspector of
the postofflce department given to the
public today. The magnitude Of the
bureaus work is indicated by the fact
that at the end Of the fiscal year there
were $500 cases outstanding In the
field under investigation, and 1901
under consideration In the department.
1t is shown In the report that the rob-
berry Of postoffices, the looting Of mail
boxes, depredations in the mails gen.
orally and frauds conducted through.
the use Of the mails increased mate
rally during he last year, the total be-
ing $131,942. During the year 1859
postoffices were robbed, compared with
1921 the previous year, while 1888 ar
rests were made during 1909 as COM
pared with 2,54S the previous year.

wherever they are seen, raising can be
prevented. The sparrow likes to nest
in cavities and he can be trapped
through this preference. He will roost
in boxes that may be put up to make
his capture easy. He may be lured to
spread grain and shot or killed In
other ways, or may be poisoned.
Wheat soaked in strychnine is said to
be preferable. This method has been
adopted in California, where it was
necessary to protect ripening fruit. A
sparrow's stomach will hold about thir-
ty kernels Of wheat, but six or even
one properly treated with strychnine
will kill him.

REPRESENTATIVE Siebels of Richland,
introduced in the house last Saturday,
a bill prohibiting the recommendation
of appointive officers in primary elec-
tions. It Is good idea, and along the
right line, because it is easily possible
to recommend in primaries appointees
for treasurer, auditor, county commits
sioner, magistrate, etc., men who are in
no wise fit for those positions. But
well venture that the proposition of
Mr. Siebels does not go through. The
legislature is not big enough to dare
to institute such a reform as this.

THERE really ought to be some way
to keep an official record Of marriages
in this state. We are not disposed to
question the proud boast that is ours
as to no divorce law; but we have lit
tie sympathy with the sentiment that
opposes the keeping of record of
marriages. There has more than once
been suffering and injustice because of
the inability of people interested to
prove a marriage that had really been
performed.

A Columbia correspondent says
that Senator Smith of Barnwell will
introduce a bill to license the sale OF
whisky in South Carolina. His idea Is
to authorize prospective liquor sellers
to pay license of from $500 to
$500 to the state treasurer and then
make sucn arrangements with the
towns as they can. The correspondent
does not believe there is a reasonable
possibility that the bill will pass; but
thinks il may serve as reason for
providing for state prohibition.
