The Loss is About S800---Post-
master and Government Both
Lose.

Mullins, Oct. 3G.-This morning at
about 9 O'Clock the safe in the post
Office at this place was blown open
and robbed. The amount secured was
about $500, Of which amount about
$500 belonged to G. E. Smith, post
master, and the remaining five hun
dred, was government money and
stamps.
at their work, the noise made INFLOW
ing open the safe only being heard by
ME-. and Mrs. Marlborough who live
near the Office, but did not know OF
the robbery until this morning. MI.
and Mrs. Marlborough upon hearing
the noise went out into the yard but
soon returned to the house not hear
ing any further disturbances.
From the manner in winch the safe
was opened it is very evident that the
robbers are experts at their work, ana
that the robbery was executed with
expedition.
The postofiee building is secure and
requires an expert to enter without
causing some disturbance in the neigh
borhoOd.

Successful Men VINO Were Not
Rich.

We have fallen under universal
witchcraft. A sense Of the power and
luxury in money, beyond all the WON
der tales, has suddenly come to US. 1t
has turned our fashionable society into
materialism which is no longer asham
ed of its poverty of ideals 1t is hard
and merciless Of heart; it is sceptical
of unworldly motives /; it's smartest
relish is for the strokes and ruses of
the manipulators of finance. In times
like these, it is good to remember
Agassiz, who refused to lecture at $50
a night because he was too busy to
make money; Charles Sumner, who
declined to lecture at any price be-
cause, he said, as senator all Of his
time belonged to Massachusetts,; Spur
geon, who refused to come to America
to deliver fifty lectures at 81, 900 a
night, saying he could do better-he
could stay in London and try and save
fifty souls; and Emerson, who stead
fastly declined to increase his income
beyond 1,200 because he wanted his
time to think. Such stories of fine
haughtiness did not seem quixotic
to the young men in college thirty
years ago. A generous idealism was
abroad, and it was unashamed. Francis

Congressman Baker, Of Brooklyn,

declined to accept railroad passes ten
dered them by officials of great corpo.

them to seek aid at the hands Of the

upon these offers as purely d1sInter-
