Five ' automobiles loaded with Gypsies bearing New York strite li cense tags, passed through Lancaster Thursday on their way south for the winter. A short stc? v.vrq made in the city, while .several of the women folk, bedecked in gay frocks with red streamers of gingham or tulle flying from their heads, strolled about the streets endeavoring to tell the for i tunes of a majority with whom they came in contact. As far as Lancas ter's young men were concerned, the'te was nothing doing in the fortune bus iness and the travelers did not tarry long, leaving in a' "khort while in the direct-ion <>f Columbia. When the band of travelers reached a point between Klgin and Pleasant Hill the automo bile traveling in the rear turned over on the roadside, pinioning the eight ociupants beneath. The car had to be jacked up before some of the occu pants could be released. One of the children in the party sustained an ugly cut about the head which requir ed several stitches to close. The others were only slightly injured. It was stated that (he wrecked automobile, a Cadillac, \vfis traded i n to E. C.

Prices Have Fluctuated Over } Wide llange. * A spread of 11,800 points, or $500 q hale, took place between the high and low on the New York cotton exchange during the year 1804 according to a table recently made public by B. Har ris, state commissioner of agriculture, in the Weekly Market Bulletin issued | by the state department of agricul ture, commerce and industries. In making this notation, Mr. Harris called attention to the fact that it was the greatest difference in price for any on? year from 182V) up to the present time. \ ? "1 am doing this for the education of the farmers," said Mr. Harris in explaining his reasons for publishing the full table. "I know they will be in terested in reading it and you will ob serve that it has always advanced in] price after it got out of the farmers hands. And common -sense will tell you if it sold for a higher price after it got out of the farmer's hands it was worth it while he owned it. The same thing has happened this year. Mr. Harris appended the following figures as high and low prices of middling cotton in New York from the vear 1829 up to the present:, ? Cents ?

Golden Eagle Captured, A splendid specimen of the golden eagle, taken alive near Monck's Cor ner, in Berkeley county, will be placed on exhibition in 0 - Charleston Muse um today. The great bird will be given u cage in the room where the live reptiles are kept, just south of the main entrance of the Museum, and no doubt it will attract many visitors. The golden eagle is not only one of the largest and finest looking of all the birds of prey, but it is also a very fare bird in this part of the world and the capture of this specimen is on that account of considerable interest. Whether the eagle wandered ly>r<S ac cidentally from the Western regions, where the species is st,ill fairly abun dant or whether it was reared and ' had its home somewhere in the moun - tains of North or South Carolina, where a few golden eagles probably ; still survive, is a question. The eagle was , captured by Mr. J. E. Hill, of Monck's Corner, who saw it sitting on a post.
