Bound and Left in the Vault.

Rennettsville. Oct. 21.-Last night
IN unsuccessful attempt was made to
rob the Bank Of McColl. Late in the
night three masked men went to the
telephone exchange and were admit
ted to the office on pretense of want
ing to send an urgent message for a
doctor. When the door was opened
they seized the0perator, Eugene Hood,
ayoung boy. tied him and carried him
with them to the bank. The door of
the bank building was forced open
and the vault door blown open with
dynamite. They then went to work on
the safe with chsels. drills and dyna-
mite end succeeded in blowing of the
front door and top of the safe, expos
ing the upper vault which contai ned 2
number OF papers and SO or 81 dollars
in silver. The inner vault, which con-
tained the money, has patent bur-
glar proof screw door and would not
yield to the cunning tools and power
full explosives. After working till
nearly day they abandoned the under
taking. Before leaving they put young
Hood in the vault and closed the door.
He was tied 30 that he could not re-
lease himself, and remained in the
vault till the officers Of the bank went
dc 8n. to open up for business this
morning.
There is no clue to the identity of
the burglars. Only few months ago
the postofiice at McColl was robbed Of
several hundred dollars.

WEDNE NESDAY, OCT. 2S. 1903.
Court Proceedings.

When the Intelligencer won't to press
last week the case of w. A, Shirley
against tho Continental Insurance Co.
of New York had been disposed of, the
jury returning verdict for the plain
tiff for damages in the sum of $G79.4G.
On Wednesday morning the case of
D. j. Griffith. Superintendent of the
Newell and l.. N. Geer, was taken up.
This suit was brought to recover an
amount alleged to be due by Mr.. New
ell for the hire of convicts for the year
1901. The defendant claimed that tho
number OF cOnvicts contracted for had
not been furnished by tho State, and
that he was, therefore, liable only for
those that he actually got. The jury
brought in verdict for the defendant.
ell, and for this reason was made u
party TO the action. B0nham n Wat
kins represented the defendants, and
Breazeale a. Rucker tho plaintiff.
The rest of the week was taken up
in the trial of the case of j. X. Gala
ham against the Bank of Anderson.
This case attracted great deal of
public interest because of tho priuclple
involved. Mr.. Callahan sued tho Bank
for $4,000 damages, which he alleges
to haye sustained through the dishoDor
of one of his checks. Mr.. Callahan
was merchant ut Honea Path, and
did his banking business through tho
Bank of Anderson. He had an open
account at the Bank subject to check.
He also owed the Bank money, secured
by notes which were endorsed. When
these notes became due, tho Bank up-
piled the funds on deposit to their pay
Ment. In the meantime, however. Mr..
Callahan had sent check to one of
his creditors on the fund deposited by
him, and when the check was present
the part Of the Bank, it is claimed,
caused other creditors to press Mr..
Callahan, forcing him finally into
bankruptcy. The contention of the
Bank was that the notes were past due
and in accordance with custom OF
banking the funds on deposit were ap-
piled to the payment of the notes to
protect tho interests of the institution.
The bankruptcy of the plaintiff, the
Bank alleges, was brought about by
Bad management.
The case was given to the jury on
Saturday afternoon, and after long de.
liberation they were unable to agree
upon verdict. A mistriai was ac-
that the jury stood nine for the plain
riR" Il three for the defendant. Bon
h.. n. Watkins and Tribble g. Prince
REPRESENTED the plaintiff, aud Quattle-
baum g. Cochran and Col. j. N. Brown
and j. M. Paget the Bank.
The Court expired by limitation on
Saturday without any great amount of
business being transacted. There are
many important cases awaiting trial,
and it is probable that special term
will be demanded by the bar.

Latimer on Good Roads.

Burlington, Ia, Oct. 21.-United
Statea Senator Asbury G. Latimer, Of
South Carolina, addressed the South
eastern Iowa Good Roads Association
this afternoon. He favored govern
ment aid in highway Improvement. He
said:
IAN effort is now being made by
come of the most influential men in
public life to devise some financial
scheme by which the treasury surplus
now taken from circulation under the
Dingley tariff may be put back into
circulation. The scheme is to loan
this money to national banks without
interest.
II am opposed to this and feel that it
would be far better for the federal gov
ernment to appropriate 800, 1000, 900 Of
this surplus per annum for five years
for the purpose of building good roads.
This $500, ,O00. 600 supplemented by an
additional::S5O0. 900. 900 0.from tho people,
would in my Judgment, meet all de-
mands necessary to improve the roads
throughout the Union.
:'The results wonld be an increased
value of lands throughout tho United
States, anywhere from ten to fifty per
gent: on 100000. 900 acres OF cultivata-
BILE land"

Costs Of Tillman Trial.

Columbia, October 24.-Clerk Of
County, has not submitted to Richland
County as yet detailed statement Of
the cost of tho Tillman trial except for
dieting the jury, which amounts to
$3.50. and the bill for the twelve jury
men which is $270. There is an inter
esting point to be decided as to the pay
OF the rest of the venlre for the second
week when the trial started. Lexing-
ton County holds that this County is
liable for the pay of the other twenty
four jurors for the first day of the sec
ond week, but the commissioners do
not think that this County is liable for
the pay of any except the twelve men
that heard the case as the other TWEEN
ty-fOur were summoned to be present
and In tho interval could have heard
any case. This point may have to be
settled by tho attorney general. Mr.
George estimated the other day that
the costs of the witnesses would be
about $500. making the total about
$2,5O0 in round numbers. This is not
ali, however. For two terms the case
was heard III this County; one being an
argument for continuance and the
other for a change of venue. At both
or these witnesses were present and
Clerk Douglass this morning estimated
that the total costs for witnesses
at these hearings would be about $780,
making the total costs of the case about
$4,000, which is much lower estimate
than was first made by County Off
cials

Free Service at Clemson.

1t gives me pleasure to announce to
the farmers of South Carolina that the
South Carolina Experiment Station at
Clemson College is now establishing u
herd of pure bred cattle, which will be
composed of the following breeds
Jerseys, Ayrshires, Devons and
ShOrthOrns.
A first class bull Of each of these
breeds will be kept, and il the farmers
wish to breed cattle to these bulls they
can do 80 free of charge, provided that
tho cattle are not infested with Texas
fever ticks. Therefore, all cattle, be-
fore being bred, must be inspected by
the veterinarian. We have on hand at
present two Jersey bulls. one Hereford
Dull, and one Angus bull, all register
ed, that will be sold in the near fu-
ture: The Station hopes to buy some
good calves from scrub COWS and pure
bred beef bulls next year, therefore,
we are anxious for the farmers to breed
to our beef bulls, for, by SO doing they
will also assist in introducing into
South Carolina the long needed beef
cattle for our own markets.
