fire department it would be In ruins

Summoning several men who were
passing, Ward broke open window,
jumped through and proceeded to the
refreshment stand. The others had
followed him, and in few seconds
each man was busy throwing pop bot
ties into the flames. The bottles broke
and the pop drowned out the fire. By
the time all the bottles had been con-
sumed the fire was out.

SAFE BLOWN AT BLENHEIM.
Yeggmen Secure 500 from the Store
of J. j. Hood.

BENNErrsv1LLE, Feb. 29.-Safe
blowers at Blenheim, a small town
about seven miles from here, blew
open the safe of J. J. Hood, a mer-
chant at that place, last night and
got away with about S69 in CASH
There is no clue to the robbers.
ghe robbery was not discovered
until this morning when Hood s clerk
went to the store to open up. On
opening the door he saw the doors Of
the safe lying on the floor and paper
and other debris scattered about.
The safe is a total wreck. Investiga-
tion showed that the robbers must
have entered with a skeleton key, as
the door OF the store was closed as
usual this morning when the clerk
went to open up.
:, Further investigation showed that
the yeggmen had gotten their tools
from the blacksmith shop of w. j.
Atkinson close by the scene of the
robbery. It is said that from ap-
pearances some one familiar with
Atkinson's shop must have been con-
cerned in the robbery; that the traces
left showed that some one had run
their arm under the door and raised
the latch and entered and secured the
tools. .->....
After drilling holes dynamite was
used to force the doors, and all the
work was done and the thieves vanish
ed without any one seeing or hearing
them. 81. ....

THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1908.

We cannot understand why the
people of Bamberg will not erect a
cotton warehouse. Themoneyis here,
but those who have itseem too short
sighted to invest in an enterprise
which will not only be a great benefit
to the farmers, but will pay good
dividends. We have argued the
matter time and again in this paper
and worked personally as well. We
secured the commission to organ
ize the company a few months ago,
but when the time appointed for the
organization meeting came, only a
few were present. This fall there will
again be a great deal>of talk about
the need of a warehouse, but talk
WON'T do any good.

Burglars Busy in Barnwell.

BARNWELL, March There have
been several robberies in Barnwell
within the last two weeks and it looks
as if some organized gang is system
atically at work About ten days ago
the county treasurer's office was
broken open during the night and
the contents of the safe taken. For
tunately there was very little money
within the burglars reach and he Sc
cured only about 81. A few nights
later the county dispensary, was rob-
bed of about SIS in cash and small
amount of whiskeY.
Again last night an unsuccessful
attempt was made toArob the treas
urer's office. Fortunately for the
county Capt. J. B. Armstrong, the
treasurer, had taken the precaution
to engage the services of a night
watchman and when the would-be
robber entered the office he was sur
prised by the watchman and fright
ened away. The grobber was recog-
nized by the watchman and no doubt
an arrest will be made on Monday.
This attempt was made between day
light and sunrise, =
The home Of the Hon. j. O.. Patter-
son, congressman from the second
district, was also entered early this
morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson
are Both in Washington and only two
of their grown sons were sleeping in
the house. The burglar entered their
room. took their trousers out and Z
carrying them in the front yard, rified
the pockets. He secured several dol
lars in silver, but fortunately missed
some bills of large denomination and
a check that was in one of the pock-
cts.

GIBSON GETS SIX MONTHS.
AGED Defendant in Bond Case Re-
ceiyed Sentence.

Last Wednesday Thomas 81. Gibson.
who was found guilty at the Rich
land spring term of court, 1907, OF
completely in the stealing of bonds
from the office of the State treas
urer, was brought before Judge Will
son and the sealed sentence which
Judge Prince left in the hands of the
clerk of court was pronounced upon
him. The sentence of the court is
that he be confined in the peniten-
tiary for a period of six months, not
at hard labor.
The charge upon which Gibson was
tried was receiving stolen goods,
knowing them to have been stolen.
Daniel Zimmerman, former clerk in
the office of the State treasurer. was
charged with stealing from that Of
flee SIP, 500 worth Of Cancelled bonds
and disposing of them through Glib
SON, a: local bond broker. Zimmer-
man pleaded guilty to the theft of
the bonds and testified that Gibson
disposed of them, the two dividing
the spoils. Zimmerman was SEN
fenced to serve three years at hard
labor in the State penitentiary. At
ter Gibson's case went to1he jury ne
went to his home and was not able to
be in the court room when the ver-
dict of the jury was rendered.
A sealed sentence was therefore
filed with the clerk of court, but at
each successive term of court Gibson
has presented affdavits that he was
too i'll to be present and receive SEN
tence. =,
He is an aged man and showed
signs of being very feeble when he
appeared in court. The sentence OF
the court that he be imprisoned for
six months without hard labor was
read to him, and his attorneys gave
notice of motion to appeal. Bail was
granted in the sum of $1,000, which
was given and Gibson returned to his
home.
