WORK OF BURGLARS.
E. L. Prices Shop Entered Sunday
Night No Developments in A. G. l..
Ticket Office Robbery.

The blacksmith shop of Mr.. Z. L.
Price, on Water street was entered by
burglar Sunday night through the back
door, which was rather insecure. and
from the shop the office was entered
by breaking through a window.
About one dollar in small change
was taken from the money drawer,
leaving two foreign claims and a con-
federate bill. A pistol, a jack plane and
a lodge pin were also stolen. No ar
rest has been made.
There have been no developments in
the case of the ticket office robbery
Saturday night about 11:30 o'clock,
when about S75 were stolen from the
Atlantic Coast Lines Front street sta
ton by a burglar who entered the Of
fee through a hole which he bored with
an anger.
The boldness of the burglary is for
chilly illustrated by the act that the
burglar was heard walking around
the office by a clerk in the storekeep-
er'S department underneath the office.
He thought it was Mr.. ]. D. Edwards,
the ticket agent n hence took no
further notice of the noise. Another
young man was working in Mr.. Fec
tig's office just across the passage at
the time, but heard nothing of the
disturbance.
Upon investigation, it was found that
the front door to the passage, which
was supposed to have been broken open
and it is believed that the burglar Sc
creted himself in a rubbish closet in
the rear Of the waiting room and was
locked up in the building. To say the
least, the robbery was very bold and
deliberate.

MALCRUM WOODY INJURED.
Mule Ran Away on Market Street.
Was Frightened by stakeholder

There was a runaway accident on
terday afternoon in which Mr..
Malcrum Woody, son Of Mr.. ]. D.
Woody, of Greenville sound, was pain
fully, but not seriously injured. Mr..
Woody and his son were coming down
Market street between Third and
Fourth streets, where the new street
roller was at work rolling the street
preparatory for applying a new coat
ing of shell, when the mule attached to
the wagon driven by Malcrum became
frightened and started down Market
street, becoming unmanageable. Mr..
Woody was walking and only his son
was in the wagon which was loaded
with lettuce packed in crates ready for
shipment.
When the runaway reached a point
nearly opposite Davis livery stables,
young Mr.. Woody was in some way
thrown out of the wagon and his back
and other parts of his body badly
bruised. However, as stated above, it
is not thought that his injuries will
prove at all serious.
About the time Malcrum was thrown
out of the wagon the mule veered to
one side and broke one Of the shafts.
Other than this the vehicle was not
injured.
1t is we'll to remind Messenger read
ers in this connection that very great
~precaution should be exercised by peo-
pie who drive horses in the vicinity
of the street roller. 1t is such a very
unusual sight for horses in this section
that nine out of ten will be hard to
manage when passing it, especially if
the machine is in operation.

According to announcement in Sun

expert in the operation of rock crush
ers, street rollers and other road ma
chinery. arrived here from Charlotte
yesterday TO mount n put in thor
ough running order the big new street
roller n the rock crusher which the
city recently purchased.
Mr.. Wolff is succeeding admirably in
his work, having on yesterday unload
ed the steam roller which, by the way,

quite satisfactorily at the foot Of Grace
street. II is a Russell Roller" manu-
featured by Russell & Co., of Massel-
lon, Ohio. and was sold to the city by

During today Mr.. Violin will, with
the assistance Of Superintendent Of
Streets Perry. put the o crusher on
wheels, it being provided with running
gear for transportation and
get it in order to be carried out TO the
Burnt Mill Creek rock quarry. The
crusher will be attached to the steam
roller and drawn out to the quarry,
by this means, the roller being a self
propeller. However, 1t will be several
days before the crusher will be carried
to the quarry for the reason that on
siderable repairs have to be mad On
one or two intervening bridges so as
to make them strong enough to bear
such great weight.
The crusher is. as Messenger read
ers will recall, a Climax Stone and

ments for the very efficient name in

Tuskegee, Ala, February 1.-THE
ninth annual session Of the Tuskegee

we desire to re-afirm what we have
advised in previous years hat while
not overlooking our rights as citizens.
1t should be our main concern TO use
our energy in continuing to secure
homes, better schools, a higher degree
Of skill and Christian character. and
in the practice Of industry and econo-
my. We believe the race Is making
slow but sure and We are glad
to note that the growing interest OF
the best southern white people in our
elevation Is shown by the various on
f~erences held by them for the discus
sion Of the race problem. We would
call attention TO the act that our peo-
pie charged with crime and in SOUTH
ern prisons have as a rule little or no
education n are largely without in
dustrial n moral training. We urge
all to become taxpayers and 10
promptly pay their taxes; to keep out
OF the courts: to cease loafing on the
streets and in public places. and TO pre-
pare to do well the work which the best
interests OF he community demand"

Leland is only a small village. but
1t a boast of an eight-Tnonth school,
and in another year we expect to make
1t nine months instead of eight. Miss
Hyacinth Peterson is the teacher She
is an accomplished young lady, being
a graduate in the English language and
in music. In addition to her school
h has quite an interesting music
class, and is admired by all with whom
n comes in contact, especially the
little one
The Leland school closes about the
1st Of June, when our annual Sunday
school picnic takes place. A main
feature of our 1900 picnic will be the
Farmers Institute, something unknown
in this community. We have some as
fine trucking land around Leland as
IAN be found anywhere, and IL is to
be hoped that the professor Of agricul-
ture, who advises us at our picnics,
will be highly appreciated and bene-
fetal to the community. Our facilities
for shipping are all that we can ask;
all the trains stop for either passen-
gers, freight or express. Lettuce, beets,
Strawberries, beans, etc, are planted
around here for the past few seasons,
but have not been very successful;
they need someone to stir them UP and
start them out with a new courage
and make them say they will keep try
ing until the succeed.
With many wishes for your future
success, j. W. GAY"
