BANK OF MULLINS LOOTED
Five Thousand Dollars Stolen by
Experienced Cracksman.

A special dispatch from Mullins to
The State says a bold and daring rob-
berry occurred in that town on We'd
ncsday night. when the Bank of Null
linS was burglarized, the daring rob-
berS securing the fat sum of $4,000.
For the past few months the bank
carried cash on hand of about S20, 900
in order to meet the demands Of the
tobacco interests, but just now the
season for selling the weed is nearly
over, and lucky Tor the bank they
were only trying to carry enough cash
to transact the nominal business.
From all reports that can be gathered
the robbery occurred about ; o'clock
Il. M, as the night watchman for the
Mullins Lumber and Brick company
stated that he heard the report just
as the 3 O'clock watch was punched.
The work OF the robbers shows that
they were fully up to their business.
as they knew the location of the rivets
that bolted the combination on to the
vault and after getting into the vault
they then had to break open another
safe of the Hall make, which was ap-
parently entered without the least
trouble. as great pieces of plate steel
was found lying on the floor in the
vault, and the big door was lying at
the foot Of the safe in a demolished
condition. Evidently some great ex-
plosive was used. Every effort his
been put forward to secure the where
abouts of the robbers, by sending dis
patches to all points along the Coast
Line notifying the town and city
authorities to look out for any suspici-
GUS characters, also messages were fly
ing in every direction to secure the
services Of bloodhounds.
Finally the dog Of Mr.. Wright.
general superintendent Of the Butler
Lumber company, Was secured. Tne
dog was brought to Mullins by private
conveyance and carried to the black
smith shop where some of the tools
were taken to do the work, but the
dog seemed to take no notice of any
particular trail. He was then carried
to the bank with the same result.
The bank is thoroughly protected by
insurance, which will occas: IN no loss.
The bank will be ready for business
again in the morning. The work
seems to have been done by a profess
Sional crackSman.

ANTITRUST LAWS.
a Special Appropriation Made by the
House for the
PURPOSE OF ENFORCING THEM
The Large Sum Of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars Made Inn
IHediately Available Tor
that Purpose.
that Purpose.

Unexpectedly and without warning
Wednesday during the consideration
Of the legislative appropriation bill in
the House, Mr.. Bartlett, Georgia
Democrat, Sprang an amendment to
appropriate s250:000 to enforce the
Sherman anti. trust law and to direct
the attorney general to proceed to the
prosecution OF all violators Of the law.
Although such provision was plainly
amenable to a point Of order, not a
member on either side of the house
raised objection. Indeed both sides
wheeled into line. All agreed that
some such action was advisable. Some
of the Republicans, however, raised
objection to the looseness Of the Ian
guage Of the amendment and Mr..
Hepburn Of Iowa offered as a substi-
tute for it the language of the bill be
introduced on the opening day Of the
session to appropriate $500, 900 for the
enforcement Of the law. This was
further strengthened to make the ap-
preparation Immediately available and
as amended the substitute was agreed
to without division.
Mr.. Bartlett wanted Mr.. Hepburn
to incorporate in his amendment a
provision directing the attorney gen.
eral to proceed with prosecutions but
to this Mr.. Hepburn objected because
it contained a reflection on the att0r-
ney general.
Mr.. Bartlett said the attorney gen.
eral should be criticised because be
had not enforced the antitrust laws
He said there had been no representa-
tive Of the peoples interest in the
White House, cabinet, or on the fed
eral bench, in the fight against trusts.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, said the
Sherman antitrust law was a Repub-
lican measure while a Democratic ad-
ministration had cast doubt upon its
conStitutionality.
The legislative bill was passed, ,prac-
tically as it came from the committee,
except for the amendment. January
81 at 8 o'clock was fixed as the time
for holding the exercises in connection
with the acceptance Of the statutes Of
Charles Carroll and John Hansen,
Maryland's contribution to statuary
hall.
The language of the Hepburn
amendment is as follows:
That for the enforcement of the
provisions of the act of July 2, 1890,
the sum Of $780, 900 is hereby appro-
priated, outside Of any money in the
treasury not heretofore appropriated,
to &c expended under the direction Of
the attorney general in the employ
ment of special counsel and agents of
the department of justice to conduct
proceedings, suits and prosecutions
under said acts in the courts Of the
! United States; Provided, that no per-
ion shall be prosecuted OF be subject
j to any penalty or forfeiture for or
on account of any transaction, matter
or thing concerning which he may
testify or produce evidence, documen-
tary or otherwise, in any proceeding,
suit or prosecution under said acts:
Provided, further, that no person so
testifying shall be exempt from pros
ecution or punishment for perjury
committed in so testifying. This ap-
preparation shall be Immediately
available.

ORDERED a PILL.

Philadelphia has taken the palm for
up ateness," for il has produced
a doctor who had a pill sent eighty
miles by special train. The doctor. a
progressive man, who lives in a small
country town, was suddenly called by
a wealthy patient who was found to be
suffering and in an extremely critical
stage from a complication of disorders.
quick diagnosis was made. and the
doctor recognized a condition which
was to be COPIED with only by a dis
covery that had been announced in
his medical journal that very week.
The case was one of minutes almost.
The drugs were not obtainable in the
country town, as he we'll knew, and
he promptly wired a firm of manufac-
turing druggists, with which he had
previously had dealings, to compound
one pill as quickly as their workmen
could put it together, charter special
engine and rush it through, following
with a full supply on a later train. In
less than two hours time he was able
to administer the medicine and save
his patient, but that one pill cost near
ly $50.

LONDON'S TIME.

An American firm has just received
a contract for 100000 watches to be
delivered in London within the next
twelve months This record order was
obtained against the strongest competi-
ton of Switzerland and Germany, the
price being such that British watch
making firms could not even begin to
compete. Yet less than a decade ago
the company in question was making
only 100 watches in year. Now the
factory employs 5000 hands, and has
arranged for an additional thousand
more in order to complete this contract.

NOT HIS BEARD.

A very singular action recently came
before civil court at Marienburg in
West Prussia. A Russian who was
very proud of his long beard undertook
IN conversation with three of his
friends to shave it off if any one
agreed to pay him 100 marks, and that
he would hand the money over to
charity. The money was offered to him
the following day. He was about to
comply but his wife interfered, and
caused her husband to be served with
a police notice not to shave off his
beard as she claimed a part proprie-
torship in pursuance of the Russian
law. The three friends are now suing
the husband for non performance of
his contract.

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say;
the things that prove to be what
at they were said to be,-how
cheering it is to come upon them
We all hate to be deceived; es-
pecially when the deception is in
territorial. But all men are not
liars, even if David did say so in
his haste. If they were society
would be impossible. Everybody
knows that business is based
on credit, on faith. Millions are
bought and sold daily on nothing
more solid than the pledged pro-
misses Of men,-not written, mere
ly verbal. The Stock Exchanges
are often called nests of gam oilers,
yet nowhere is promise held
in greater honour. Therefore
when we say that the tried and
effective modern remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never deceives any who resort to
it in hope of benefit and cure, we
may expect to be believed. For
this assurance is given on what it
has done in the past in countless
cases. its record. 1t is only
recommended to accomplish what
it was made to accomplish. It's
action in Chlorosis, Anemia, La
Grippe, General Debility, Throat
and Lung Troubles, Blood I'm
purities, etc. is convincing. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative pro-
perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. DR.. Austin D. r.
vine, of Canada, says: Il have
used it in cases where cod liver
oil was indicated but could not
be taken by the patient, and the
results following were very graft
flying" 1t is effective from the
first dose and agrees with the
most sensitive and nervous stom-
aChs. 1t cannot deceive or disap-
point you, and comes to the res
cue of those who have received
no benefit from any other treat
ment. 1t stands for the medical
triumphs of the age. At chemists.
