Painful Accident.

Broadus, the six year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Spiers, suffered
from a very painful accident Monday
afternoon at the home of his parents
near Swansea. The little fellow was
playing with a colt, when the ami
NAL suddenly turned and kicked him
in the mouth, knocking his teeth out
and cutting his lip very badly. Drs.
Nelson and Jones soon reached the
little fellow, and it required twenty
two stitches. At present he seems
to be resting very we'll, and before
long it is hoped he will be up again.

BURGLARS at st. George.

The warehouse of the St. George
Brokerage company, owned by Col.
w. Boyer Utsey, was entered by bur
glars Saturday night. An entrance
was effected through one of the front
windows. It seems that wagon
was placed between the sidewalk and
the window, and the burglars pro-
ceeded to fill the vehicle with a con-
siderable supply of flour, rice, etc.
There ought not to be any trouble
in tracing the wagon tracks.

The House Page.

In today's issue of The Times and
Democrat we call especial attention
to page three, which contains what
is commonly known as '"The House
Ad." The entire page consists of the
picture of a building, with the walks,
windows, ETC., filled with the adver-
tisements OF some of Orangeburg' 8
leading merchants. This is not the
first time such advertisements have
been gotten up. but is the first Of
it's kind that has appeared in Or
aneburg for a. number Of years.
Taken as a whole it is very attractive,
and we call attention to the goods
advertised.

WHAT the Corn Clubs Are Doing to
Bring the South to the Head of
the List.

the List.
..For progressiveness those farm
ers and business men in Louisiana
who conceived and put forward the
idea of pig clubs" among the boys
in rural sections of that state, quite
q little credit is DUE" says the Au-
gusta Chronicle, which goes on to
say:
According to a press dispatch from
New Orleans yesterday, the idea is
not one born Of itself, but really the
ontgrowth Of the success attending
the t'boys' corn club movement,
which is rapidly spreading all over
the Southern agricultural country,
and doing more for the development
of the south's agricultural possibll-
ties than any other individual move
ment has ever done in SO short a
time.
One Southern state alone, South
Carolina, has gotten more notoriety
and publicity, through boys corn
clubs than all the other educational
movements it has undertaken.
People from one end of the United
States to the other, who in many
places did not stop to even think
whethersor not that. state raised any
corn at all, know now, through the
publicity given the fact, that the
greatest yield of corn ever made on
one acre in the corn belt was grown
by a boy in his teens in South Caro-
lima.
Taken as whole, the movement,
up to the present season, has been
purshed more in South Carolina than
In the other states, and South Caro-
lima has profited hundred fold LOT
the effort expended in inducing the
coming farmers of that state to learn
something about what they can DO IN
one line of endeavor with the ground
on which they live.
It Is safe to say that if the corn
club movement does as much IN the
next ten years as it has in the past
three or four, and grows in breadth
as it has in the last year, the South
is going to be supplying other Sec
tions with the corn those sections
need, insctead of filling in her own
shota,e with western-raised grain.
Now, with the movement in Louis
lana. another Of the most important
gaps in Southern agricultural life
promises to be filled, If this latter
movement can attain the same meas
,,re a,f success its predecessor has.

100000 ROBBERY
! IN new YORK BANK
AED MAN VICTIM OF CROOKS ON
PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
Broker Deposited Envelope Which
Contained Nothing But Old
Newspapers.

New York--What appears TO have
been one of the boldest, safest and
successful robberies in the history OF
the fnacial district was developed
Tuesday when Aaron Bancroft, the
Oldest active broker in New York.
made the discovery that he had been
tricked out of nearly 10000 worth
of securities last Thursday afternoon
IN the basement vaults of the Produce
Exchange building
According 10 the excited statement

hallway as he was on his way to the
safety deposit box of his firp, Ban

containing them.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft. as has
been his habit for twenty-five years,
placed securities worth about $780,
900 in a large envelope bearing the
firms name in the corner. Alone, he
walked the 200 feet from his office to
the Produce Exchange, thence down
a AfSht VI Steps lIOii the oticSl iSVti
entrance TO the vaults.
Just as Mr. Bancroft was about to
turn the corner at the end of the
corridor into the vaults a tall man
came running around the corner and
collided with him. The shock threw
Mr.. Bancroft off his feet. and in fall
ing he dropped the envelope.
That was the cue for an under
SHED young man, who had been lean
ing against the corridor wall. He
stepped up TO Mr.. Bancroft. assisted
- to his feet and was solicitous to
- q under his arm an envelope. Mr..
Bancroft! of course, thought it was the
envelope that fell. He went on TO de-
posit it in his box as usual.
Tuesday, when George Bancroft. his
son, unlocked the box, he found that
the only envelope there contained
three old newspapers. A clever snb-
stitution had been effected when the
elder Bancroft was upset in the vault
corridor.

STRINGENT HEALTH LAWS.
Needed to Make Work OF State Board
More effective.

Jackson.-That there viii be some
rather strong legislation recommend
ed By the State Board of Health at the
next session of the legislature is prae-
tically settled. but just what new laws
will be asked for is not known at this
time.
There is a possibility OF an act be-
ing introduced. at least, giving the
health board the same powers The
Railroad Commission has TO enforce
its orders. That such law would
mean great deal TO the state Is the
opinion of those who have studied the
situation II would mean. for one
thing. the disappearance OF the public
drinking cup from the trains and other
public places.
II would also mean better sanitary
conditions throughout the state III
the needed laws are enacted and en-
forced. in two or three years Mssis-
sippi should. il is commended, be one
of the healthiest states in the Union.
