increase of insanity.
W E feel very grateful to the citizens of Cherokee County for favoring us
with their trade during the years 1902, 1903 and 1904; also we have
every reason to believe that they are all well pleased with the Pianos,
• Organs and Sewing Machines that they bought from us, as they are
beginning now to see that quality figures more than a few dollars in the purchase
of an article that is to be used for a long period of time, if not for a lifetime.
To those who have not yet bought Pianos, Organs and Sewing Machines from us,
we invite you to come and see our goods and get our prices, which will be very low
during the next 30 days. We are are at all times able and willing to make every
promise true and every guarantee good. So come and see our many different
styles of Organs and New Home Sewing Machines at our store on Limestone St.

One person In every 150 in Chicago
Is insane, according to a dispatch from
tin t city to the New York World. One
person in every five is predisposed to
insanity. This is asserted in the re-
po t of Dr. V. H. Podstata, superin-
teadent of the Dunning Insane asylum.
Many more prominent authorities,
men who have studied the subject sci
entifically for years, state that insanity
has increased there rapidly in the last
ten years. It has Increased all over
the world, but more rapidly in Chica
go than elsewhere. The percentage
of insanity to 1,000,000 inhabitants has
quadrupled in fifty years.
“At the present rate of the develop
ment of insanity, according to the
world’s statistics,” says Dr. James P.
Lynch, “and with present conditions
of work and llvfng unaltered, half of
the civilized world will be more or less
insane 500 years from now, and in an
other 200 years from that time, under
the same conditions, most of the Cau
casian race will be mentally deranged
and civilization wiped off the face of
the earth by the multitudes of Goths
and vandals of Asia.”
