Bandits boarded train at w arteo
vile near Aiken last night, KNOCKED
down the express messenger, threw hlh

then robbed the car, securing aooo
$500. The train usually carries large
amount of money.
Mrs. Matte Mathis, Summerton, OF
last Thursday morning, while STANDING
near a FIRE, had her skirt to ignite, ant
a considerable portion of the dress wa:
burning when discovered by another
lady present. Serious injury was onl,
prevented by the timely tearing OH o
the dress.
Commissioner Breedin has state
rnent ia this issue showing how he man
aged the winding up OF the affairs OF the
lispensary. The statement SHOWS
much less deficit than the most sangulne
had hoped for, and if it is correct Mr.
Breedin has certainly saved to the taS
PAYERS a considerable sum OF money.
The discussion in the columns oi
THE TINES between Rev. c. w.
Blanchard and Professor Albert New is
making students of biblical history out
of many of our readers. The letters OF
these scholarly gentlemen are valuable
additions to literature, and are oelng
appreciated far beyond our expecta-
! tlons.
It. is the purpose of TIE TINES man
aoemept to get out g considerable
amount Of reading matter next week,
and it would beg those who would seno
matter for publication to send 1t as

on ACCOUNT Vi OGlCA SlSoSSASSA~S'
IN nearly all cities and towns the
authorities save she reputation OF their
towns by requiring decent puollc
hacks. Manning gives no attention to
such things, and any old rattle-trap IS
permitted to serve the public as COM
mon carriers. When the train con-
raining a number of the delegates to
the District Conference arrived, sew
eral of the preachers made humorous
criticisms OF the buses and hacks that
were atthe depot to convey passengers.
We direct the attention Of our read
ers to the page advertisement OF DAVIS
& Thames. who have put on special
sale under the direction OF .'The Inter
national Collection Agency" These
Young men are desirious to turn their
stock into cash to make preparation Tor
the purchase of fall goods, and to 90 so
at this season of the year special induce
ments must be made. Therefore they
have put on this special sale, and prom
ise the trading public rare bargains.

Several post masters and rural car
riers have informed US that every now
and then 8 subscriber OF The TINES
complains OF the paper not being deIlv-
cred to them and blame them for 1t. we
thoueht we had made this matter so
plain there was absolutely no chance to
be%nisunderstood. The postal regula-
tions will not permit a weekly newspa-
pers to carry delinquents more than one
wear, and we have time and again call
ed attention to that requirement. There
fore when a subscription is past due one
wear we are compelled to discontinue 1t.
The failure to receive The TIMES then
is not the fault of che postmasters or
the carriers, it is entirely with the sub
scriber. The day for running newspa-
Der for several years without paying
for it is past. Look at the label on your
paper it tells you the date you have
paid TO, and if you want the paper con
tinued, and you should, because we make
every effort to give you good paper,
then send US the money before the time
expires. The TINES does not want tc
lose one subscriber, and when 1t cuts
name of OF it's subscription list, it is be:
cause it is forced to do so by the United
States postal regulations.
