SAFE BLOWERS AT LAMAR.

Lamar, S. c., March 13.-On the
morning of the 11th instant about
two o'clock the store house of Mr.. T.
F. Wilson, OF this place, was broken
into and his safe blown open and the
contents taken out which consisted Of
valuable papers and about sixty dol
lars in cash.
The blowers took every precaution
to avoid q fire, as they covered the oil
tanks, which we're not great way
from the safe, with bags and burlaps
and removed all the sample cotton out
of the Office to a safe place near the
door. Some OF our citizens heard
the explosion, but could not locate it,
and consequently did not know where
to go. They are certainly g experienced
crackers as they did a nice job on
the safe. Five men had been hanging
around in this vicinity few days be-
fore the robbery and camping out at
night about mile outside of town.
When asked about their business and
intentions they stated that they, were
making their way to the Darlington
cotton mill. Two Of those men went
into Mr.. Wilson'S store Monday, made
some purchases and, of course, took III
the situation. Another one went into
DR.. Watson's drug store and bought
such drugs and appliances as are nee
essary in dressing wounds, etc. The
doctor thinks he is an M. D. or has
some knowledge of medicine. It is
believed they are regulrly organized
band of expert robbers and safe blow
ers and we expect to hear from them
again soon. Mr. Wilson also lost some
goods out of the store.
Our little town is on good honest
boom. Several new houses are now
under construction. Our merchats
have all pulled through and no fail
ures to report M.

Willie Clyburn, negro, who has
been in jail for sometime under indict-
ment for trial at the next term Of court
became demented about a week
ago but, for several days
bis mania did not assume
2 violent or dangerous character. On
Thursday night he became violent and
made desperate efforts to dash ont ms
brains against the sides Of the CELL

It has been the confident hope and
belief that the Citizens Building &
Loan Association would be wound up
at the end of the hundredth month.
On last Saturday the one hun
dredth monthly payment was made
and it is impossible to WIND
up the affairs of the association
for the reason that there still remain
fftv shares upon which no loan has
been made. The association has but
80 shares. and a simple calculation
will demonstrate that to retire the
remaining 80 shares at $50 per share,
the sum of $500 Will be required ;
and. to provide this sum, the assocla-
lion must be continued in operation SIX
months longer, the monthly payments
ON all shares amounting to the gross
snu of S1,270 only. From the gross
receipts must be deducted the amount
necessary to pay tie incidental ex-
penses of the association, averaging
about s25 to $50 a month. There is no
possibility of winding up the assocla-
ton before September 18th unless the
stockholders agree to pay IN the SIX
necessary assessments IN lump sam
and thus provide the funds for the
Immediate retirement Of all Of the out
standing fifty shares.
