WON'T VISIT RHODEsIA.
no0seveit Declined Invitation iron
 the Duke of Abercorn.

hooseveit Declined Invitation from
 the Duke of Abercorn.
 London, March 18.-(Thursday.)- )-In the hope that Theodore Roosevelt might be persuaded to include Rhode sia in his forthcoming African tour, the Duke of Aberoorn recently sent him cordial invitation from the Board of the British South African Company to visit that country.
 In his letter, the Duke of Abercorn pointed out the many attractions af- torded by the journey from Capetown. and drew particular attention to the famed Victoria Falls and to the Mat apo hills. in the midst of which is the tomb of Cecil Rhodes, who. by includ- ing Americans among students eligi- ble for Rhodes scholarships at Oxford, showed his great admiration for the American race. The Duke of Aber- corn also called attention to the ex- cellent prospects for the hunting of big game in Northern Rhodesia The ex-President, heartily thanking the Duke for his invitation, wrote:
 Your proposal is so very attractive that I should certainly have closed with 1t If there had been time."
 It was said here that the guns MT Roosevelt will use in Africa will be equipped with silencers, in which case he very likely will make new records in big game hunting
 s>The letters received here from Mom- basa say that Mr Roosevelt will prob ably proceed from Mombasa to Kapiti Plains, station on the Unganda Rail- road. 2SS miles inland, where he will organize his caravan on the estate of Sir Alfred Pease.
 Arrangements on an extensive scale are being made by a firm In Nairobi for the preservation and dispatch of trophies and specimens.

COUNTY BONDS QUICKLY SOLD Bought by New Farley
 Bank. PRICE EQUIVALENT TO Ioz Sale Was Made at an Executive
 Session. The County's Need of the Money Made It Urgent That the Bonds Be
 Quickly Turned Into

Within thirty minutes after the re- suit of Thursdays bond election had been declared, the bonds were sold to the New Farley National Bank of Montgomery at private sale. A price equivalent to 102 per cent of the face value is to be paid. according to the offer of the bank, with accrued inter- est to the date of delivery, from May l, as the bonds will be dated.
 The bonds will be delivered to the purchaser on or before June l, accord ing to the agreement, made between the Board of Revenue and the bank yesterday.
 The price, 102. for the entire issue of $150,o00 1-2 per cent bonds, Is Tor bonds of like. nature, and of simi- lar rate. of interest, and surely the best ever offered for Montgomery County bonds.
 The sale was made at an executive session of the Board. held after the meeting yesterday. Immediate dis posal of the issue had not been con- tary offer of the local bank, being larger than the price which the body had anticipated, 1t was accepted, with out another bid having been consid- cred. In fact, there were none of- fered except that of the New Farley Bank
 Another consideration, that of the immediate, need of money by the coun- ty for road work. also influenced the Board in closing the deal so soon, and at private sale. ''The county needs the money-the sooner it comes, the better-and this fact. coupled with the fiattering offer, prompted the de- cision to accept the bid of the bank" stated a member.
 The. purchasers rendered, with their bid. certified check for $5,000 to be held as guarantee that the terms of the contract would be carried out.
 Some Discussion.
 The offer of the New Farley Bank, made at the meeting altogether un- expectedly elicited some little debate. as to whether acceptance should be made att once. Some of the members contended, at first. for a wait, but tn @ price of the bank. held up as perhaps better than any which would subse- quently be made. won the dissenters, and especially when the need of money was considered.
 The mechanical operation of litho- graphing and printing will be per- formed within a few days at the ex- pense of the purchaser-and there Is little doubt but that the delivery will be made before the specified limit of June 1.
 The bid of the bank was offered by the President of the bank. and

Auditor West Was Esre.

State Dispensary Auditor West and
Assistant Dispensary Auditor Hunt
were here on Friday checking up the
books of the Lexington County Dis
pensary Board. It is hardly necessa-
ry to state that they found the books
in excellent shape-they are always
in good shape. Mr.. West highly COM
plimented the gentlemen of the board,
and the very efficient book-keeper,
Mr.. G. A. Derrick, upon the very ex.
cellent name in which the dispen-
sar1es in this county are operated.
In talking to The Dispatch man Mr..
West said:
"We have checked up the books
and vouchers-in fact everything per-
tanning to the four dispensaries in
this county and they balanced to the
very cent. I wish to state for the
benefit of your readers. that there is
not more efficient county board in
the State, and the people of your
county should feel proud Of the fine
showing these gentlemen have made"
The above, coming from a man who
is in position to know-a man whose
business it is to see that the dispensa-
ries are properly run-is appreciated
by the people of the entire county.

Yeggnan Kills Policeman
And is Himself Slain

On last Thursday morning abouS
2:15 O'Clock in the quite little city Of
Laurens terrible tragedy was enact
ed when Policeman Stone. met his
d h at the hands Of an unknown
blower, who was himself slain by
Policeman Walker.
MThe two policemen were patroIling
tne railroad yards when they came
across two strangers. Policeman
Stone approached one Of the men and
asked him who he was. Not recelv-
ing satisfactory answer the officer
p aced his hand on the shoulder Of
the man, but no sooner had he done
so than the robber drew large mag
azine pistol and fired five shots into
the body of the policeman. With al
most superhuman effort Mr.. Stone
grappled with his slayer and the two
fell to the ground in mighty strug-
gle. Policeman Walker upon hearing
She shooting ran to the rescue of his
dieing comrade. The ,yeggman, see-
ing the pistol of Walker, begged him
not to shoot, saying ''I'm already
shot to pieces" This proved to be
only bluff, for the man was then re-
loading his weapon. Policeman
Walker fred as rapidly as possible and
when the smoke of the battle had
cleared away the yeggman lay on the
ground with four bullet wounds in his
body, dieing an hour and a half later
without speaking.
Mr.. Stone lived until o'clock in
the evening.
The robber carried a satchel which
contained complete outfit of safe
blowers tools. On his person was
found S11O. Nothing was found, how
ever, that would reveal his identity.
The other robber fled and has not
been captured.
For the brave act Of heroism dis
played by the dead policeman cnotri
buttons are being made all over the
state, the money to be turned over to
the widow and children Of Mr.. Stone.
