with which their money premiums are

Machabees for the past TWENTY-FIVE

Andrew SchlOsser, of Bell River,

wagon in Alexandria and may die of his
injuries. His team became frightened
at the band of small circus showing
there and started to run. Schlosser
and his wife were thrown out, one
wheel running over Schlosser's ribs.
He was picked up for dead, but was re.
vlved by the application of electricity.
A team belonging to James Heible. OF
Lake Mary. was also frightened and ran
away. Heible's little 6-year-old daugh-
ter was alone in the buggy and hung
on to the lines. She was thrown out of

An unknown, tough-looking individ-

bank at Duluth and, presenting a re-
volver to Cashier Britts, demanded the
cash OF the institution. Instead of Civ
ing up the cash, the cashier gave ter
rifle yell of ''police," followed by sun
dry other yells. Either the bank rob-
ber was nervous or thought the chances
too great, for he went out of the door
like shot. He leaped upon horse he
had left in front of the bank and fed
eastward on the boulevard. The police
got after him at once with horses. AT
a point near Fifteenth avenue east his
horse gave out and he took to the

In another column appears an expla-

There are points In the scheme of this

OF this paper, distinguish 1t from other
lending concerns of the Kind.

he is doing, |. o., that when he has paid,
his notes for 70 months, he has paid his
debt and The mortgage he has given is
satisfied. Other associations that we

moss men of Darlington and other towns
whose responsibility and character are

Now the ADvBRrlsER does moi set it
self up as q Brsdstreeps agency and
advises nobody to go into this or any
association until after they have given
it thorough investigation themselves.
But we do not hesitate to say that
there are many reasons why 1t should
receive the attention OF our business
community and that an association
which has evidently done much for
Darlington might also do the same for
Laurens.
