Mrs. John Dyke yesterday pre-
sented me with a basket of peaches
whose size, shape and colors
would adorn and set off the finest
''fruit piece" that ever graced a
dining-room. Their flavor and
sweetness bear out the promise of
their outward appearance. My
thanks T due and heartily ten
dered to the fair donor.
Willis Bulliner, a former Ironton
negro, was convicted in the circuit
court at Greenville last week of

The safe in the Pilot Knob post
Office vas blown open by burglars
last Thursday night. About fifty
cents in coppers was all the booty
the burglars secured. 1t is thought
the safe was blown about mid
night but the discovery was not
made until the following morning
when the Office was opened. This
safe was blown less than a year
ago but no clue was ever obtained
as to the offenders.
The post-ofice at Piedmont was
robbed Monday night. The bur-
glars blowed open the safe and Sc
cured $3.50 cash and $500 in stamps.
The marshal here was notified
Tuesday morning to look out for

pistol. A reward of $500 is offered
for their apprehension.

Last Saturday morning two cars
ran wild at the North American
Lead Company and ran down the
track and bumped into some other
cars near the O'Connell house; one
of the cars was a complete wreck
and was burned by the wrecking
crew that was sent here from De
Soto to clear up the wreck. The
most remarkable thing about the
occurrence was the fact that one
wrecked car had $4,000 or ID, 900
pounds of dynamite in it and some
of the sticks were broken in two
and scattered along the track but
did, not explode. Had the stuff
exploded it is doubtful if a pane of
glass would have been left in this
city besides other damage which
would have resulted from the ex-
plosion. The loss to the North
American is about S2,000.-Freder-

Says the Greenville Journal:
"'The Democracy Of Wayne county
is now confronted with a novel
proposition with relation to the ju-
dicial race now on. We have
Hon. Z. T. Eversole, Mr.. Berkeley
and r. |. January as open candi-
dates before the people %contesting
for the nomination, giving both
their time and money to the enter
prise. The peculiar phase of the
matteris, that contingency of the
party have been located, who are
trying to secure an uninstructed
delegation to the convention. No
one should be fooled into that trap.
Ii the rank and file can not de-
termine by a majority vote who
they want, we T of the opinion
that they do not need seven guard
ians to inform who they want for
Judge. The Office of circuit judge
is OF vast Importance to the whole
people and we'll should they look
after it, for they have three good
men to select from and they should
turn out on the coming Saturday
and cast their votes like men, de-
claring in no uncertain way for
whom they want nominated, but
not let a few shrewd fellows die
tate the nomination and place :
man on the ticket who has not en-
tered the lists as a candidate fol-
the Office"
