GYPSIES DETAINED ON LARCENY CHARGE Three Warrants, All Defective, Were Not Honored?Have j Departed. Considerable interest was created in Ab- J beville the past week by the detention of a band of gypsies on a charge of having stolen Sid from a negro named Jim Phelphs. The theft was alleged to have been committed in Laurens county. Three separate wan-ants were issued, the llrst calling for the arrest of "one gypsy." This warrant proved to be defective and JIUL II' MM >1"?1? (Hit one <H tur ? Ullirn ui the band. Pola .Marico, mother of five chil dren. was detained for a while but finally made her departure. A second warrant was issued in Laurens county calling for the arrest of "a hand of gypsies," but this was not honored for the same reason, when a third warrant calling for the arrest of "John Doe" for the theft of $40 on "Aug. 31," when Gregario Juans, the party sought to be arrested under this warrant had been in the custody of the officers since the night of Aug. 29. being held on suspicion. Attorney J. Frank Cliukscales, represent ing the defendant, appeared before Judge Frank 15. Gary and secured a writ of habeas corpus, under which Gregario was released and the entire party of gypsies departed. The negro Phelphs claimed that the gypsies had robbed him of 140 entrusted to his care by his employer for the pur pose of paying off his employees. The negro told several different stories as to the manner in which he had been relieved of his money. The gypsies oflvrcd to compromise the case, tendering first $40 and then $55 which the other demanded but when of lereu conienueu ior too. i no oner to com promise, the gypsies claim, was not an ad mission of guilt, but the detention of 31 people and 81 horses was putting them to an expense of SoO per day, and they pre ferred to settle the matter rather than Ik: longer detained. When last heard of Gregario Juans and his tribe were making their way to Geor gia, with the avowed purpose of giving South Carolina a wide berth in future. BOOKLET OX CATTLE FEEDING IS ISSIEI>. Southern Railway Trying to Give Practical Aid to Farmers. Atlanta, Ga..

There is only one way ts. cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condl? tlon of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. i^eainess is ine result, ana unless tne in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing: but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.
