"Ill exaci raiio IO ine amm/ ui
the law to diHcover and promptly
and eJlieiently punish a certain class
of crimen, will the criminals who live
by them be compelled to seek other
fields of occupation." This is the
statement of Judge William N. Genmill,
of the Municipal court, of Chicago,
m man who has made a study of
crime and criminals during the long
\J and honorable career he has had on
the beuoh in the Illinois metropolis.
There Is no other man in Chicago
that knows more about the under
world and its operations in that city
than Judge Geniniill. and lie is recognized
as an authority upon matters
of this sort.
f Criminal statistics prove that the
crimes have increased or decreased
just in the poportion that the punish
men Is therefore have been swift
and cetain," continued the judge.
"Highway robbery* fur instance, is
almost a lost art and one does not
hare to seek far for the reason. It
the robber escapes death at the
hands of the victim he becomes as.
ullaw and is hunted like a wild
beast. In Chicago arrests for robbery
have decreased from 1,200 in
1 906 to 730 in 11109.
"Twenty-live years ago the bur-*
glar was more feared by the public
than any other criminal. Today
housebreaking in the night is almost
unknown. I have of had a
single oa?e of such housebreaking
I in the 8,000 criminal cases heard by
me during the past three years.
I "In Chicago arrests for burglay
j have deceased since 1905 from 1,780
to l,3t>3, a decrease of 3 4 per cent,
in ilve years. What has brought
about the change? It is not that
the burglar has become more honest,
but it la because he has found the
business more dangerous and kt
punishment more certain and swift.
"Oertai? crimes, however, are on
the increase. We have in Chlaago
not less than 500 professional pickpockets.
If the criminollglsts could
eramine their heads they might be
taken for bank clerks. They are or
the best dressed and beat looking
young fellows in the city. They
travel in groups of three or four.
They hannt the crowds and ply theii
calling with a skill scarcely equalled
in any other profession. They hire
their lawyer by the year aid send
*, him a Christmas present at Christ
fj mss time.
"Their number is constantly increasing.
Why? Because they know
that they have nine chances out of
ten to escape punishment. Seldom
do their victims discover the loss of
their pocket books before they have
| nade good their escape.
"Counterfeiting was once the begetting
crime of the nations. The

almost stationary. The number

Way to Prevent Cables Is to Mu/

jtle the l)og?.
The Columbia State says a dozen
or more dogs, supposed to have had
rallies, have been shot at the request
of their o*ae?s within the last ten
days in that city. T.hree cowo an i a
tail", which showed symptoms of" tne
same, have also been killed receu. \
The police department lias kili'-d
nose a t malb.
The type of the disease which is
prevalent among the dogs this sum
mer its "dumb" rubies, called "black
tongue" by many persn-us. Few if
any cases of "violent or "furious '
rabies have been reported.
The dog muzzing ordinance which
recently went into effect was passed
by the city council for the express
purpose of exterminating rabies in
this city. The ordinance was subjected
to severe criticism when it
was first passed, but it has met. with
very general compliance on the part
of the owners of dogs.
It is claimed that muzzling is the
only way in which rabies, and consequently
.hydrophobia, can lie prevented.
A circular recently published
by the bureau of animal industry
jf the United States department of
agriculture advocates strongly this
measure for the exterminati m of the
dread disease.
The muzzling of dors was widely
enforced in hi u rope a few years ago
and as a. result the disease has disappeared
from the countries enforcing
the law.
in regard to the use of the muz
zle on dogs and tho consequent decrease
in rabies, the circular issued
by the bureau of animal industry
says:
"To prove the practical value of
these repressive measures, we have
only to observe the results obtained
in foreign countries. Prior to 187f>
rabies had been prevalent in Berlin
for many years. In that year a law
was enacted, including tho whole of
Prussia, which provided for the killing
of all dogs suspected of having
rabies, and the muzzling and leading
of all dogs when in public places.
This led to a complete eradication of
the disease, and no case had occurred
in Berlin since 1883.
"In Holland since 1 875, rabies being
quite prevalent., dog muzzling
was established. The disease immediately
began to disappear, and in
1 879 only three cases were reported,
siDce that time the country has been
free from the disease, except along
the Belgian border.
"In Great Britain the value of
muzzling, which has been enforced
Ui spite of great public opposition,
has been ndmirably demonstrated.
In 1889 it was first adopted, and
the disease had almost disappeared
by 1 892, when tho muzzling was
stopped on account of the determined
opposition. The disease immediately
began to increase, and in
1895 muzzling was again enforced.
The decrease in rabies was immediate
and marked, and since November,
1899, the country has been entirely
free from the disease.
"In Sweeden the value of muzzling
has also been demonstrated. In
fact, in all cases whore this measure
has been effectually carried out the
disease lias been completely controlled.
"The disease lias never been
known in Australia. This is due to
the fact that the infections never
gained a foothold in that country, and
for a number of years the government
has wisely prevented such an
unfortunate 'occurrence by laws,
w.hicli absolutely exclude the importation
of dogs into that country.
"In countries where steps have
been taken to exterminate rabid
does?Holland, Sweden, Hngland,
Norway and Germany-?rabies in
man has almost disappeared."
According to Dr. Henry It. Slack
in The Journal-Record of Medicine,
hydrophobia is rapidly on the increase
in Georgia. The conclusions
reached by Dr. Slack ure based on
the records of the Georgia Pasteur
institute. He writes:
"When you consider the fact that
for four years (from 1900 to 1901)
we only treated 2,'17 patients, and
that 4 4 of them came from west of
the Mississippi river, 3 2 from Alabama,
24 from South Carolina, 118
(less than half) from Georgia, and
that 4 89 were treated in Georgia in
1908 and 486 in 1909, after these
other States had established Pasteur
laboratories, the increase in rabies is
appalling. The average for the first
four years of this decade was 5 9.:)
while for the last two years it is
4 87.5 or an increase of over 837 per
cent in less than ten yoars. This
certainly is enough to make us pause
and think what we must do to pievent
the rapid spread of this most
awful of all diseases."
As to the preventative mesures to
be taken to decrease rallies, Dr.
Slack merely says: "Muzzle all dogs
and establish a six months' quarantine."
This city has already taken steps
to muzzle dogs allowed to run at
large on the streets and a decrease
In the number of cases of **ablee is
Expected.

of a patrolman and is now locked j
up.
There were perhaps a hundred
immigrants in ihe car. The order
for "all aboard" had been given and
many had their hands outside the
windows, waving goodbye to friends
when two men jumped on the reai
of the last car of the train and two
on the front platform.
All four whipped out revolvers
and shouted "hands up, shell out,
Most of the immigrants did not understand
the language but tlie revolvers
were wholly intelligible
The four men walked down the middle
aisle ot the car from either end,
taking jewelry and cash.
They might have got more if a
trainman had not stepped to the
rear platform and, taking in the situation
at a glance, he ran to the sJation
yelling to the police. Hut the
robbers had been warned by thenlookouts
and bolted for the waiting

will be made to tell all about himself

TIDE SETS TO SOI TH.
Immigrants Are Fast Flocking to

The day of immigration into the
South has arrived and with it has begun
an exodus of Americans who
have tried Canada and the Northern
States and now have quit that locality
for more profitable farming in
Dixie land. The tide is carrying
with it colonists from Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska and the West and Northwest,
and the influx is expected to
reach its height about next October.
A recent report to the laud ana
industrial department of the Southern
railway shows that since last

A special dispatch from Spartanburg
to the Columbia Record bhvs
| Mrs. Marion H. Jennings committed
l suicide Thursday morning by shooti
h.g herself in ihe left temple. The
shots, two in number, aroused the
family as they were at the breakfast
table, and Mr. Jennings rushed
into his wife's bedroom and found
her already dying, lying in a great
pool of blood.
For four months Mrs. Jennings
had been in ill health and had recently
been suffering greatly from
j melancholia, but it was not feared
that she would do herself injury.
On Thursday morning she sent her
youngest daughter ou,t of her room,
saying she desired to be left alone
to sleep, and the act was evidently
then meditated.
Within a few minutes two shots
were heard. Mrs. Jennings secured

against her left temple and the head
was practically tern completely off.
The family are prostrated with
grief.
Mrs. Jennings was about a year
or more ago married to Mr. Marion
11. Jennings, son of State Treasurer
Jennings, Mr. Jennings having formerly
lived at Yorkville, where he
practiced law for several years after
leaving Columbia a few years ago.
' Mrs. Jennings was also a former Columbian,
Miss Emma Hanatyan, a
sister of Dr. Hanahan of Columbia,
She was first married to Mr. Ernest
Heard, of Yarkville, and by that
marriage has four daughters, all of
whom are at home except one, w.hose
home is in Yorkville. About a year
ago she was married to Mr. Jennings,
and they made their home in
Spartanburg where Mr. Jennings is
practicing his profession. Mrs. Jennings
was 8 7 years of age.

By Stranger to Whom He Had Been
Kind When In Need.
Shortly before the Klondike gold
boom, W. V. Miller, a motorman of
Macon, Ga., then living in Atlanta,
and known as "Kid" Miller, met J.
F. Curley, a broken-down miner
stranded and without funds. He took
him in, fed him and gave him money
lO uiKe mm as iai as uiruiiugunui.
That was th? last he ever heard
of t?h? bread cast upon the wateis
until recently, when he received
word that Curley had died in Dawson
City and left him a fortune estimated
at $500,000. Shortly after
Curley's death, Dawson City authorities
communicated with Chief of Police
Jennings, of Atlanta, asking for
news of "Kid" Miller.
Jennings traced him to Macon and
located him as W. YT. Miller, a married,
but childless motorman. The
news of Curley's will, leaving his
all to the man who helped him when
he was down and out quickly followed.
Miller so far is somewhat
dazed by his good fortune, but is
still cheerful.

Thjs great increase in the acreage
ifevoted to corn is considered one on
the most hopeful signs in the South j
today. In a letter to the directors |
of the Southern Railway company,
President Finley called particular attention
to these figures and said:
"The increase in the acreage of:
corn, accompanied, as it is, by a
quite general adoption of improved i
cultural methods, is one of the meat!
encouraging features of Sout.hern
agricultural progress. It is one of
the results of a general movement
throughout the South in the direction
of diversified agriculture?a movement
which we are endeavoring to
encourage and assist as far us we
can properly uo so.
As the farmers of the South increase
their yield of corn, they will
save enormous sums which they have
been spending in the West for food
products and will consequently themselves
realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic authorities
agree in declaring the
American corn crop the basis of the
country's prosperity since in such a
large measure the production of
other crops as well as the pork supply
depends upon it and a greater
yield of corn in the South consequently
means a greater share of
prosperity for this section.

Rooks Returned After Years.
With the best system and careful
watching books go astray, but It Is
hard to write them oft as entirely
"lost," since they have a way of
turning up that is only paralleled by
the cat of lyric fame.
The other day at the de3k of one
ot the oldest city institutions, the
Philadelphia library at Locust and
Juniper streets there was returned
by a fnir borrower, a book that had
been cut a little over three years.
Fortunately for the borrower, no
fines were exacted and after she had
gone ine question as to whether ths
woman had not established a record,
was asked. ,<>
"No, Indeed," said the librarian.
"We have In the library several volumes
that were held ten, fifteen and
twenty years, aiul one dook mai whs
returned to us after being gone for
over a century! It Is one of a valuable
set of the classic*, and after

Deepest Rooted of All Hates,
The age long hatred of the white
race lor the black, yellow and other
colored races Is by no means onesided.
It is fully mutual. Years
ago Livingston observed that
"There must be something in the appearance
of white men frightfully
repulsive to the unsophisticated natives
of Africa; for on entering villages
previously unvislted by Europeans,
if we mot a child coming
quietly and unsuspectingly toward

And saw the men in bags' he would
take to his heels in * n agony of terror,
such as we might feel if we met
a live Egyptian mummy at the door

the child s wild outciies, the mother *
rushes out of the hut. hut davts back
again at the flr.i glimpse of the fearful
apparition. Dogs turn tail and m
scour off in dismay, and hens, , ,.i
abandoning their chickens,
screaming to the t >ps of the houses."
The same Is true, though perhaps la . .....
a lesser degree, of the other color- 1(,
ed races. ... . M,
Where the Tips Go.
"Dot I can teil yon something you

in the cloakrooms of some of the

diner to his wlfo , it
"Why?don't the small boys Just
pocket all they ,ret?" inquired she.
"Pocket! Their uniforms are
... m t ?? >
mad? without a 8^n or a pocaei so
that none of the tips can find a lodging
there; those boys get nothing but
a salary which is paid by a man who
has purchased the cloakroom prtvlege
for as high as five thousand ft
year. The tips are all turned in to
him. You can imagine, what the
