Safe Blowers In Hampton.
The safe Of the county treasurer OF
Hampton county was blown open>by
burglars with tro-glycerine last Tues
day morning. Clerk Of the Court Cau-
sey, who lives near the court house,
was awakened by the noise, and secur-
ing his shotgun he hurried to the scene
just in time to see two men running
away with their booty. He fired at
them twice at a distance Of 100 yards,
without effect, and afterwards put
bloodhounds on their trail; but they
about 5000 in cash and some checks on
the bank Of Hampton.
Slick Trick This.
Some Of the Charleston people have
been taken in by the ring game. A d.
lapidated man calls at the house. He
gets the person answering his call in
terested in his story. Suddenly he
gazes down on the ground, scratches
away a little dirt and picks up fine
gold ring marked LAX. AS he has no
use for jewelry he wishes to exchange
it for money to buy some food. He re-
ceives 81 to 81 from the householder,
and departs rejoicing. The possessor
of the jewellery goes to an expert and
ascertains that the wholesale price Of
such stuff is about $2S7 {. gross.

Married the President's Parents.
Washington speciaks to News and
Courier: The president has received
numerous invitations to visit various
points in the vicinity Of Charleston
during the trip, but he has been oblig-
ed to decline all offers of hospitality be-
yond those agreed upon in the original
programme. Today he received call
from Representative Lever who re-
quested him, If possible, to visit the
town Of Walterboro, in South Carolina,
where resides the venerable James Bull
lock Dunwoody, the minister who per-
formed the marriage ceremony Of Pres
ident Roosevelt's father and mother.
The Rev. Mr.. Dunwoody is "a years old.
and it was suggested that under the
circumstances the president might
make an exception and extend his trip
to take in Walterboro. With many re-
grets the president had to decline tine
invitation, saying that there are seve-
raj points in the southland he hopes to
visit at some future time.
Let Us Have the Proof.
Washington correspondence Of the
Charleston Post: Senator Pritchard, Of
North Carolina, Is making an effort at
the meeting of the senate committee on
privileges and elections to secure ac-
ton on the resolution he introduced
some time ago calling for an investi-
cation Of the charges made by Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carroll
ma, against his colleague, John L. Nc
Laurin, that the latter was Influenced
by promises Of control Of federal pat
ronage in casting his vote for the rati-
f1cation of the Paris peace treaty.
There is feeling among certain Re-
publicans In the senate that this sub
ject should be allowed to drop, but Sen
ator McLaurins friends insist that the
investigation be made, and Mr.. Pritch-
ard, who is member of the committee
before which the resolution is pending,
will urge that a favorable report be
adopted. Sentiment in the senate
seems to favor the adoption Of this res
olution. Mr.. Tilman's friends say he
can prove the charges he has made,
while Mr.. McLaurin's friends insist
that he cannot. Both sides, therefore,
are ready to support the proposition
for an investigation. 1t Is said that
Senator J. c. Burrows, Of Michigan,
chairman Of the committee, does not
favor the Pritchard resolution, and
will strive to have 1t suppressed.
Among the warmest advocates Of the
resolution Is Senator NJ. A. Hanna, who
says he believes the Tilman charge re-
fleets on the late President Mckinley,
and he will lend his efforts to favora-
Bile report upon the ground that the
memory of the assassinaLed president
should be purged of all aspersions.
