solicit criminal practice or to dis

connected with such practice.
The raid-the most active and far
reaching ever made by any depart
ment Of the goyernment-was under
the personal direction Of Postmaster
General Hitchcock and Chief Inspec-
tor Robert S. Sharp, of the post Of
fee department. SO carefully had
It's details been guarded that until
the first of the arrests were made at
indianapolis early In the day practi-
cally nothing was known of the gov
ernment's contemplated action.
Working with clock-like precision,
the inspection force, spread over %
States, carried out the prearranged
plans, and at an early hour tonight
the post office department had re-
ceived word that nearly all of the
designated persons had been arrest
ed.
The results Of the crusade are still
being received tonight by the in
spectors' divisions Of the post office
in the form Of dozens of kilograms
from various divisional Headquarters.
In isolated instances it was found for
various reasons to be impracticable
to effect the arrests, but the sus-
pected persons against whom war
rants have been issued are under sur
veillance and probably will be una
bic to escape.
Have Been Long at Work.
Chief Inspector Sharp and large
part OF the force of $50 inspectors
had been engaged for seven months,
under the orders of the postmaster
general, in working up the scores Of
individual cases in which arrests were
made to-day. Many of those taken
into custody were members of promi-
nent wholesale and retail drug con-
Germs or physicians we'll known in
their own communities.
The government will prosecute the
cases vigorously, according to state

jesus, LOVER OF MY SOUL.
Charles Wesley's Famous Hymn Was
mspircd by a frightened Bird.
(Kansas City Starr

Religion has always been welded
TO song, whatever the stage Of civili-
azation or the form OF worship.
Rhythm and melody have acted and
reacted upon the religious life Of
the world, until i. is easy to under
stoud how the largest and most per-
manent contribution one can make to
the relieious life Is to write for it
new song which will lift 1t on the
wings Of praise and prayer to the
higher things.
The greatest hymn written by un-
inspired man Is undoubtedly Jesus,
Lover Of My Soul" written by
Charles Wesley.
1t stands next to and possibly be-
side the great Song Of David, which
is called the Twenty-third Psalm
the little brown thrush Of all earth
songs, holnely, but sweet to human
hearts ''The Lord Is My Shepherd"
Wesley's hymn shares with David's
the honor Of bringing peace anu
comfort % the largest multitudes;
TO have been the earliest lisped in
childhood and the last to linger on
The tongue when the singer crosses
the bar.
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" is one
Of the noblest expressions Of Chris
tian faith and hope in all literature,
and SO shares with the Twenty-third
Psa,m the first place in the hearts
OF thousands as the two voice the
prayers OF Christendom.
Charles Wesley wrote this hymn
at the age OF 80, and the story of its
origin IS that he stood by an open
window on summer day, and lit
tie bird, frightened by a thunder
storm, few into the room and sought
refuge there; this incident inspired
the writing of this hymn.
Henry Ward Beecher, speaking Of
his fa hers death and his love for
this hymn, said: II would rather
have Written that hymn OF Wesley's
than 10 have the fame Of any kind
on earth 1t Is more glorious. There
is more power in 1t. I would rather
be the author Of that hymn than to
have the wealth Of the richest mil
lionaire Of, New York. He will die
and pass. out of mems thoughts. He
will have Jone nothing to stop trou-
Bile or encourage hope! His money
viii be scattered by division. In
three or tour generations everything
cumua ~ ,ne ground again for rodis-
tributOn; but that hymn viii 80 on
slnsigS nutll the last trump brings
forth the angel band and then l
think i; will mount Up to the very

past Mr.. Feagin had been stricken by
chronic illness, and while it had long
been known to his family and friends
that he could not recover, he held on
bravely and with the courage that had
ever characterized him. insisting to
the last that he would get well.

information that they will be able to
supply the demand and at prices US

Eggs are unusually plentiful at this

buying ee9s in quantities in North
Georgia and Alabama towns. The
price paid there is about 35 cents
while transportation charges are less
than two cents per dozen. The eggs
are fresh and fine, and not of the cold

no need of doing without Christmas

good work for humanity The pro-

uted to the fight In Georgia against
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis carried off more THAI
1000 human beings in Georgia lask
year, and yet 1t is a preyentable dis
ease. To decrease this awful loss Os
life and the great economic loss inci-
dent thereto. it is proposed to estab-
lish state anti-tuberculosis agency
in Georgia, and local agency in every
town and city in the state.
These agencies disseminate informa-
tion about tuberculosis, will maintain
free dispensaries for the treatment oe
sufferers. will send trained nurses tn
visit the sick and will help to estah-
lish open air schools for children with
tubercular tendencies, The money u
carry on this work is raised through

In Georgia can and should help In this
good work by buying as many seals as

In a clump of woods just outside Of
Aiken, Howard was hiding, on the
watch for Miles Seeing a man ap-
preaching in a crouching position
Howard drew his pistol and ordered
the man to stop. Jones, also mistak-
ing Howard for the negro fugitive, and
believing the negro was about to shoot
him, threw up his rife and fired. The
shot went wild and Howard fired on

WILL REPAIR
LOCAL JAIL
VERY SOON
The PLANS HAVE Been MADE
Delay of Materials the Only
Drawback

1t is scarcely probable that the pris-
oners confined in the Sumter county
Jail will be sent to another county
for safe keeping, in view of the fact
that the county commissioners are
raking all effort to have needed re-
pairs made upon the interior of the
building here that will insure the safe
keeping of the inmates.
The commissioners took such steps
several weeks ago, having contracted
to have the repair work done by ex-
perts, but the material has been de-
layed in transit here, and the work
delayed to that extent An entirely
nsw steel composition floor will be
put in the main corridor, where the
strong cages are situated, while all
other work needed to insure the safe
keeping of jail inmates will be done
The defective steel floor now in use
is responsible for the recent escape
of many prisoners.
While the half dozen or more in
mates of the jail would really be sent
to another county If their safekeep-
ing depended upon it, there is reason
TO believe that this step may not be
deemed necessary at this time.
