No Better Than Republicans.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Barnwell
People, seems to think that Democrats and
Republicans are alike responsible for the ap.
propriations by Congress, and that the Demo
cratic cry for tariff reform must necessarily
mean very little.

deposition in a bank losing his money?
AS the law now stands it is almost impossible for any bank deposior to loss
his money. Around the depoitors money is placed the best safeguards that

than money in a bank. And if you make it a rule to put away a little OF your

your earnings you will learn how to- do when you are rich.
In the Savings Department, one per cent is paid quarterly, or, If allowed

OF the city, made demand tor his
pistol. which was promptly hand
ed over. The sheriff then took
Hartley in charge and started with
his prisoner for the Jail. When
they arrived at point about mid
way between. the main street of
"Chihuahua" and the railroad
shops, Hartley suddenly drew an
other pistol which he had in his
pocket and pointing the weapon
close to the face o. the sheriff de.
maEded the return of the revolver
which had been given up by him.
The sheriff returned the weapon,
and while he was endeavoring to
pursuade Hartley TO accompany
him his deputy, J. |. Young, and
Depotmaster Wells appeared on
the scene Young had a warrant
for Hartley's arrest and The two
ottlceIs who were looking for him
made demand for his surrender.
Hartley Immediately fired at
Young, but Wells-just in the nick
OF time--reached over Young's
shoulder and threw the gun up,
which was discharged so close TO
young that his face was powder
burnt and he would have received
the discharge in the head.
a general fusilsde followed, in
which Hartley was shot twice in
the abdomen-once by Young and
once by Wells. Hartley then
escaped and ran around the op
posite side of the roundhouse, the
officers in pursuit.
He was discovered this time by
Deputy Sheriff Wells, who, point
ing one pistol at his head and an
other at his stomach, said "Red,
drop your guns. Red replied:
"All right, Shorty; help me to sit
down"
Hartley, mortally wounded, was
carried on stretcher to a physic;
ans Office, where he was operated
upon. but proved to be beyond
medical skill, death ending his
career early Friday morning.
Hartley was young man abou:
40 years of age, and had bad rep,
utation. When in his cups he
was much given to relating his
memerous criminal escapades IN
various parts of the country, and
was rather proud Of his record.

a sentence in the county Jail for

Tonsorial Artist Declares That Bust

Until Tuesday.

Record man. II have never been able
to figure out just why this should be.
but the same condition exists in every
shop in town. If barber wants to lay
off for a day. he generally selects
Monday and II the boss has an
emergency man, he always lays him of
on Monday. | dare say the business is
50 per cent. less than on any other day
in the week This is all the more sur
prising. because II is almost impossible
to get a shave in Philadelphia on Sun
day, and mans beard grows in spite Of
the societies that close us up. ! sup
pose lot OF men go out OF town over
Sunday. and others who stay at home
shave themselves. At any rate, bust
ness doesn't really begin until Tuesday
morning.
