A BANK ROBBED.
The Robbers Bind Watchman With
Wire and Guard Him.
OPENED VAULT WITH DYNAMITE
They Secured Seven Hundred Dol.
lars in Cash and Fled on
Hand Car. A Bold

Bank robbers are again at work in
this State. At an early hour Tues
day morning, Nov "a, band Of five
white men robbed the Bank at Brun-
son on the Port Royal Railroad. They
held up the watchman, Richard
Youmans, colored, presenting a
revolver in his face. He yielded
readily under thus persuasion, and was
left bound by four Of the men in the
custody Of the fifth. He was stood
against the side Of the depot, with a
wire rope tightly about his neck, and
still covered by revolver, while the
robbers made their way to a black
smith shop. This they robbed Of the
tools they wanted for their more seri-
Gus work. With these tools they
made their way to the bank.
Two Of the four we're left on the
street to keep watch, while the other
two went inside, after forcing the
door. They blew open the vault and
then blew open the safe within the
vault, finding s7C0, which they took.
There was a large amount Of N oney
just received the day before, which
was not in the vault, but in a new
safe outside the vault. This was not
touched, evidently escaping the notice
Of the robbers.
After the robbery had been effected,
the men went back to the watchman
and the robber who stood guard over
him. The negro was left tied while
the robbers secured hand car and
made off on the railway track towards
Fairfax. Tuesday morning two white
men, regarded as suspicious charac-
ters, were arrested in Savannah and
held for Identification, as it is thought
they might have had hand in the
robbery. T. H. Tuten, vice president
Of the bank, and another citizen OF
Brunson went to Savannah and called
at the barracks, but could not identity
the meu. The negro watchman is
considerably worsted, having been
tied with wire hard and fast.
The bank has two safes, one a
Mosler screw door burglar proof which
was only recently installed. For
tunately the robbers did not enter
this one. Had they done so the loss
would have been very heavy.

The Hampton Monument.
to Go Free.

The State says our tardiness In:
raising the popular subscription Of:
$4,000 to complete the fund for a.
monumentto Wade Hampton is elicit:
ing comment outside the State. The:
Springfield Republican says: There
has been much talk in South Carolina
about erecting monument to Gen.
Wade Hampton, and, as IS so often
true in such cases, too little done.
The amount on hand is but $4,000,
and the treasurer Of the fund, SEN
ator Marshall of Columbia, has asked
the other State senators to stir up:
their counties to do what is expected
of them" Despite the apparent in-s
difference it is impossible to doubt that
the total amount will be secured
within the next few months.

The Spartanburg Journal says
Governor Hayward may have lost
some popularity in Charleston by
withholding dispensary profits from
that city, but he has strengthened
himself vastly throughout the state
by his determination to see the law
enforced in all parts Of the state. II
the local authorities ignored the dis
pensary law in Spartanhurg this city
would not get any Of the profits and
the same rule ought to hold good in
Charleston. The governor and the
dispensary board are to be commend
ed for their action in the matter and
they will be endorsed by the people OF
the state.

No plea Of reasons Of state" would
be acceptable, for reasons Of state are
out Of place in a republic, and are re-

In abandoning the Mckinley policy,
Mr.. Morgan declared that the presl-
dent had destroyed the rights already
acquired at much expense OF time and
effort.
He declared that Colombia had lev
led blackmail to the extent OF s., ,0O0,-
900 and that, acting under the in
structions of the president, the secre-
tary of state had entered into an
agreement that might make it posi-
BILE to collect on the levy. Only the
eagerness or the ambition OF the
president could, be said, have supplied
the fulcrum for this transaction.
Mr.. Morgan reviewed at length the
Colombian revolution OF 1902, declar-
ing that Marroquin's triumph was
due not to his own prowess, but to the
assistance of the United States. AL
roads that the president travels" be
said, lead to the Panama canal, but
some of his discreet friends should
caution him not to burn the bridges
behind him" That war bad, be said,
deserved the condemnation OF all
Christendom because Of the brutality
of Marroquin'S conduct, and yet know
ing this conduct was such as would
have done diScredit to the bearer OF a
scalping knife OF tomahawk, the
United States was the ally Of that
leader throughout the conflict. lie
referred especially to MarroQuin's con-
dscatory DEGREES and said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt must have known OF
them.
Mr.. Hanna challenged the state
ment of Mr.. Morgan that President
Mckinley had been favorable to the
Nicaragua route.
Il know OF my own personal knowl-
edge" Mr.. Hanna said, that when
in 1899, it became known that the
Panama company's property could be
purchased, he gave the question serl-
Gus consideration and Investigation,
and at bis instance provision was
made in the river and harbor bill for
an appropriation Of Sl00,0 900 for the
investigation OF all routes. That this
request was made because OF his In
terest in the Panama proposition I
know of my own personal knowledge.
President Mckinley had decided to
follow the recommendation OF his
commission, and that is what the
present executive is doing. So that
there has been no change in policy"
Mr.. Morgan replied that be had
spoken only from the public record OF
President Mckinley and not from
knowledge of his private views.
II know" be said, THAT he enter
ed into conpacts with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica to secure the Nicaragua
route, and there is no record to show
that he changed bis mind"
Mr.. Hauua-It is incorrect to say
that President Mckinley preferred
Nicaragua. I know better. 1t was
only the high price of the Panama
property that deferred him.

ST LOUIS IN PERIL.

The Mississippi has risen to 80 feet,
the danger line, at st. Louis, and con-
tinues to rise at the rate of more than
two feet day. Indications are that the
34-foot stage at st. Louis predicted by
the Weather Bureau will be exceeded.
A 34-foot stage means immense loss.
Already tens of thousands of acres OF
land on the Missouri and Illinois sides
are under water Sweeping from above
with the added impetus of dozens OF
swollen tributaries, the Mississippi has
leaped from its accustomed channel un-
til its spread embraces all the lOwlands
contiguous to its banks. Hourly 1t
reaches farther. In half dozen places
between Alton and st. Louis the river,
with its lagoOns and bayous, is from five
to seven miles wide. The crest of the
Missouri has not yet reached the Miss
issippi, and yet the Missouri is pouring
into the Mississippi with such force as
to check the current of the Father OF
Waters and make a great lake full
of drifwOod just north of the
confluence of these great water courses.
Missouri Point, long tongue Of land
running down between the Missouri and
the Mississippi to the point where they
Join, is the most threatened district north
of St. Louis. 1t is a populous, fertile
farming country of at least 30, 600 acres.
If the rivers unite across the point, as
they threaten to do, the loss to crops will
be enormous. Already hundreds of
families are moving to higher ground.
At St. Charles, Mo-, a few miles west on
the Missouri river, the water has spread
out over three miles of country. The
first loss attending the food in the vicin-
ity of st. Louis is reported in the drown
ing of Mrs. William Schmidt and her
two children in an attempt to escape on
fatboat from Catfish Island. Schmidt
and his family of four were compelled to
abandon their home on the island and
put some of their household goods in the
small boat on which they depended for
safety. In midstream the boat capsized,
and Schmidt was able to save only one
of his children.

The Yachts.

Bristol, r. l., June 3. Reftted and
overhauled and put in her best racing
condition, the cup yacht Reliance leaves
this afternoon for the westward, where
on Monday next she will meet the Con-
stitution and Columbia over the
Americas cup course off Sandy Hook.
The yacht has been here three days at
the Herreshoff's and every turnbuckle
and strand from deck to tip of the top
mast has been examined. Several head
sails have been recut and new main
sail has been bent. More sails are
being made for the racer.
On Saturday, the Reliance will be towed to
the Erie basin, Brooklyn, and there she will
be measured and when her racing length is
known the question of time allowances will
be settled. 1t is talk about the Herreshoffs
that with the tightening of the Constitution
rigging, the Reliance will have to allow the
Belmont boat time allowance of two min
utes or more. Work is being pushed on the
re.rigging of Constitution and she will leave
here some time Friday. She will probably
be measured with Reliance.
