A Bold Robbery.

About half past y o'clock on Fri
day night the store of MeSsrS. Taylor
& Bull, at Cameron, was entered by
safe blowers and between $500 and
900 was secured. The robbers
used dynamite and the explosion
aroused some people in the vicinity.
With guns and pistols they went to
the rear of the store while the robbers
escaped from the front, having had
ample time to secure the contents of
the safe. Several shots were fired at
them, but without effect.
The Penitentiary bloodhounds were
sent to Cameron on Saturday morn
ing, but failed to accomplish anything
in the way Of tracing or locating the
robbers. The safe was said to have
been large and up-to-date, and was
thought to be the most secure one in
that part of the State. Mr.. Cul-
ler had gotten money from Or
angeburg to buy cotton and had de-
posted it in the safe. His loss is
$500. The postollice lost 500 and
Bull & Taylor are not positive how
much they lost, but with the two
sums the total was about 81, 900. The
noise made by the blowing open OF
the safe is said to have been consider
able, attracting attention, but in the
rain the burglars made their escape
with their booty.
The thieves came from Sumter tC
Cameron. boarding the train on the
outskirts of Sumter. The conductor
reported that one of the men was
dressed in a hunting coat and the
other was dressed in blue OverallS.
They asked the fare to Cameron. The
conductor told them it was only a
small place. They said it did not
make any difference. One of the men
pulled out a roll Of bills to pay the
fares, 81 cents each. The conductor
asked him for smaller money and pull
ing out bag Of silver, the man paid
the fares. At Cameron they left the
train.
The Augusta Chronicle says "a
description Of the men was wired to
the Augusta police and Saturday night
the men were told to keep sharp
lookout. 1t was not long before Lieu
tenant Hopkins received a telephone
message to the effect that two men
answering the description arrived in
the city during the night and that
they were putting up at a certain up
town boarding house. One Of the
suspected men had on overalls and
the other had a tan hunting coat over
oyeralls This exactly tailed with the
dress OF the two men, and detail OF
officers were at once sent to the board
ing house to bring the TWO men to
the barracks. The officers found the
two men in q room along with two
others. All said they belonged to the
same party and were brought to tile
barracks.
but it was a water haul. The men
showed conclusiyely that they are
bridge hands employed on the Angus
ia Southern road, that their tools
were at the Union shed. and that
they came in on the late train, comIrS
from Wrens. They were promptly
released and returned to their bard
ing house. However. the mistake
was an eXcuSable one Oh the part OF
the officers. for the dress of two OF the
men accurately filled the description
of the wanted safe blowers.

A Word for Teachers.

An essential element in the pros
perity of any institution Of learning is
the cordial support it receives from
it's patrons and the people by whom it
is surrounded. Without this, the
schools of whatever grade may get
along in hum-drum kind Of way and
do good work, it's teachers faithfully
but dearly performing their duties
and the scholars going YEARLY through
with their tasks: but where there is
lack of. inspiration, approval and en-
couragement from without, the ac-
tors are thrown back on the sole re-
serve of conscientious discharge OF
duty, the strongest, the most stable,
the most trustworthy of all correct in
centiveS to action indeed, and yet
which, when alone, often leaves the
soul in disconsolation and doubt.
Eeven strong men, engaged in arduous
work, need the sympathy and express
ed regard of their fellows for their
ccmfortand support and full efficiency.
How much more men Of sensitive or
ganism and tender women, employed
in the onerous task Of developing the
intellectual faculties of the young, OF
placing before them the mental
pabulum by feeding on which they
will acquire growth and strength and
stimulus for higher endeavor and of
influencing them by wholesome in
struction and example to avoid the
evil and choose the right and good IN
life. Surely the teacher OF all men
deserves the sympathy and encourage
ment of right-thinking and ylrtuous
people and every community ought to
keep alive, and on proper occasion to
express its sincere interest in its
schools, in their work. in their teach
ers, in their pupils. No community
can afford to leave its schools alone
without countenance, sympathy and
assistance. Every man, woman ana
child, be he patron or pupil or with
out any direct connection Herewith
ought to feel himself under obligation
to do al. in his power to speed the
good work and to cheer On those i'm
mediaUelly engaged in it. BY all
means do what you can to promote
the welfare of the excellent inStitu-
tions within your gates. and. 50 far as
in you lies, influence your neighbors
in this and the adjoining counties to
do the same. In blessing others, you
will also be blessed.

with a smile upon his face at the old
hag'S assumption Of dignity
"N eli, when she is ca!mer, YOU can
tell Der gently that I think there is
nope for her, and then. when she is
more accustomed to the idea. bring
her to me"
"Yes-yes. I will" replied the old
wretch. with 4 wicked smile upon hel
! face. I'll tell her gently. Trust me
! doctor. fol- that. You can depend on
NE"
/ Had the good man known how gent
IL the old woman would have told the
poor girl Of the good news. he would
not have left her as he did; but ne be-
I licrcd Louise to be Frochard'S daugh,
( ter. and like many others, was deceir-
ed by the old hag's whining voice.
Here, my poor child" said the
doctor, going toward Louise, giving
her some money, while to the poor girl
the words which followed were OF
more value than all the money he
could have given her. Courage" he
added. in 4 pleasant voice, courage
my dear. ! Will see you again.
These words carried hope with them
to the afflicted girls heart, and in the
excess of her joy she vas unable to
speak, but stood trembling with eX-
cltement.
As the doctor walked away, Mother
FrOchard called after him in her Shrill,
cracked voice:
May Heaven bless you, good doctor.
Heaven bless you.'
And as the physician turned the
corner. and was out OF hearing, her
blessings turned to curses, and in a
voice full Of hate and anger, she eX-
claimed:
Curses on you fer a meddling old
fool,''
What did he tell you, madame?'
asked Louise. eagerly. as she went to-
ward the old woman, expecting to
hear the words Of encouragement
which the doctors kind words assured
her she would hear.
He said it was not worth the trou-
ble." said the old hag, in hard voice.
There is no hope for YOU
These cruel words struck Louise
with harder force than a blow would
have done, and she staggered against
one Of the buildings for support.
"AlaS-alas! what can l do?" she
walled, and there was a depth OF deS-
pair in her cry, such as seldom comes
from the human lips. What will be-
come Of me:"
The encounter with the doctor was
in the highest degreee dangerous 10
the old wOman'S plans, and she resolv-
ed that it should not occur again.
If l bring her here every day, he
will see her again" she said to herself.
Mono; that will not do"
For few moments she remained in
deep thought, and then a smiel OF
triumph came over her face which
was tiendiSh, and she said to Louise:
Look here, child, am good wo-
man. You have been complaining
that I always take you to the same
places. Now, tomorrow, we will look
for your sister in some other part OF
the city"
"Ah. madame" said Louise, great
fully, Il thank you. l have but one
hope left, to find my dear sister, my
dear Henriette."
Now that all hope ofever recovering
her sight, which had been so suddenly
raised was taken from her, her soul
cried out more anxiouSly than ever, il
such thing could be be possible, fo1
the sister who had been so cruelty
| taken from her.

HE OUTLINED THEM ALL.
Hoa. Z. F. Crayton's Experience with
Life Insurance Company.

Hon. B. +. Crayton was talking
with some friends Wednesday when in
some way the question Of life insur-
ance came up. Life insurance is a
good thing" said Mr.. Crayton, and
every man ought to have his life in
sured, but l have always thought
there was good deal of humbuggery
and haphazard work in the life insur-
ance business.
THE insurance companies seem to
make it rule to reject certain
percentage Of those who apply to them
for insurance, and itseems to me that
they make these reflections without
rhyme or reason, just so they reject a
certain number out of every batch Of
applications sent in.
Here is case in point. Many
years ago life insurance agent came
to Anderson. He was an indefatig-
able worker and succeeded in writing
policies for about twenty citizens in
AnderS rSon, myself among the number.
Well, they were sent in to the home
office of the company, and out OF the
whole number two were rejected.
These were the late Captain J. W.
Daniels and myself. They wrote
back to US thai we had consumption
and heart disease, and several other
ailments. Captain Daniels died only
a few years ago. and l am still living
and in good health, while the men who
were insured have all died long ago.
This convinced me that there was
lot Of humbuggery and haphazard
work in the life insurance business.
And III tell you something else
too" concluded Mr.. Crayton, with
twinkle in his eye, THAT life insar-
ance company that turned down my
application has died long ago, too.
I've outlived them all" Anderson

Swallowed 4 Watch.

The advertising Ingenuity Of the
theatrical star is perpetual cause for
admiring wonder. The latest is the
exploit of the prima donna OF the
Sultan Of Sulu" company, who, it is
said, while asleep at keokuk. Ia,
Friday afternoon, swallowed a Swiss
watch about the size Of silver dime
and did not know it. After the ke0-
kuk performance a search was made
for the missing timepiece. but it could
not be found. The next day the lady
felt pain, which the physicians were
unable to diagnose without the assist
ance of an N-ray apparatus. The
watch has been recovered but it is
hardly probable this method of adver-
tising will become popular among the
footlight favoriteS.

7 REMEMBER, l REMEMBER.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

7 remember, ! remember
The house where | was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn:
He never came q wink too soon.
Nor brought TOO long day:
But now. often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white;
The violetS and the lily-cupS.
Those flowers made Of light.
The lilacS where the robin built.
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet.
I remember, 7 remember
Where was used to swing:
And thought the air must rush as
fresh
To swallows on the wing:
My spirit flew in feathers then.
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.
I remember, remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
1t was a childish ignorance,
But now It's little JOY
To know I'm farther off from heaven
Than when | was a boy.
