Chester Citizen Foils Daring Attempt
AT Robbery.
chester, June 22.-Monroe Mills,
colored, is in jail on the charge of en-
tering the home of Mr.. John Woodle,
OIL the Springstein Hill, yesterday
morning at an early hour. When
discovered he had made his way into
the bed room of Mr.. and Mrs. Woodle,
and when the latter aroused her hus-
band Mills darted under the bed. Mr..
Woodle jumped out of bed and, while
he was striking light, Mills jumped
out Of the window and made off in
the darkness.
The authorities were summoned at
once and officer Williams, Sheriff Cor
win and Deputy Sheriff Dye were soon
on the scene. They had with them
the hound that is kept at the county
jail for trailing criminals, the dog be-
ing put on the scent and trailing Mills
out into the yard, but dropping the
trail at this point. There was no way
70 Identify the criminal, it seemed, as
he had made his escape before a light
could be struck, and Mrs. Woodle had
had only fleeting look at him. How
ever. he had dropped his hat and a
pint Of liquor while scrambling
around on the floor, and these helped
to effect his capture. Officer Williams
was on guard around the premises
about s o'clock, when Mills came
along, with his eyes on the ground. as
If looking for something. Mr.. Will
liams asked what he was looking for,
and he replied that he had lost his
hat. Mr.. Williams told him that
there was a headpiece at the police
station which might possibly be his
Mills accepted the invitation and, on
reaching the station and seeing the
hat, readily said that it was his and
started off. He was then placed un-
der arrest and sent down to the coun-
ty Jail to await trial on the very Sc
rious charge of burglary. He denies
his guilt, but there is every reason to
telieve that he is the guilty man.
There was a great deal of feeling
yesterday in certain quarters over
Mills outrageous action, and it is hop
ed that he will receive the full limit of
the law. He is big. black, burly ne

the agitation which had acted as \

MIR. CADE'S INVENTION.
Way Revolutionize ype-Setting--WnI
Very Likely Supercede the Ldno-
type Machine.

is the Linotype machine soor, to T.
come back number? Undoubt sIlv
II VIII if Rev. Baylus Cade. of NORTH,
Carolina, is not wrong in his expecta-
tions of the type-setting machine
which he has invented Reference to
the machine has been made by a
NUMBER OF papers, but details have
been rather vague. The Chronicle is
now able to supply these and to give
a general idea of what Mr.. Cade's
typesetter will do. The claims may
seem rather broad, but it must be re-
membered that when the linotype
machine was being conceived the in
ventor was told that he was a dream
er. We have always held that the
linotype machine, wonderful as il is,
is really crude machine and is des-
tined to be superseded by a simpler,
more perfect and cheaper machine.
Is the honor of inventing the success
sor to the linotype to fall to a North
Carolina man? 1t is quite within the
range of possibility, as study of a
few points would indicate.
Mr. Cade's type-setter is not run by
power. Two men can carry it and
place it at any point desired as easily
as they would handle an office desk.
1t Is operated by a small air compress
sor.
1t will set any face of type from
nonpariel to job display. The opera
tor can read and correct the line be-
fore it is cast. There is no cumber-
some and complex machinery for the
return of the matrices They are
turned automatically. The machine
can be sold for $500, which will place
it within the reach of newspaper pub
fishers all over the country
Mr.. Cade is a machinist from youth
He has been working on this inven-
ton for a period of twenty years. His
first machine is now being built irs
Philadelphia and will be completed
and given a test within three months
It has been inspected and approved by
the best mechanical experts in the
country, who say that it will do what
is claimed for it. We are drawing
this much from a conversation we
had with Mr.. Cade this morning.
Much that he said was not for the
public print at this time. Did we feel
privileged to say more, we might In
spire greater faith in this invention
1t was suggested to Mr.. Cade that IL
he has what he says he has. he wiIE
die millionaire. His response was
that money-making was his last
thought. He is working for the good
of humanity, for in giving to the
world type-setter of the character
which he invented, he would certain
| ly be comforting a blessing on the
| whole people. We believe that pa
per in Shelby, his home town, is tO

run on his new machine. Mr.. Cade'
and the machinists who have passed
on his invention may find themselves
mistaken in the expected performa a-ces;
of the machine, but i'm case they hit ir
right, we may look for a slump i'm

months will tell the tale.-Charlotte

nold-Over senators. the victory for the
acceptance Of the Clemson bequest
by the General Assembly was a diff
cult thing to achieve, and the deciding
vote for the bill which had passed the
House, yeas, 81; nays, As, was cast
in the Senate in behalf of the accept
ance of the Clemson bequest by Lieut..
Gov. Mauldin. 1t is we'll to state here
that after the bequest was accepted
by the Legislature Gov. Richardson
withheld his approval by what is
known as a pocket Veto thus pre-
venting any action, looking to work
on the proposed new College for two
years. The seven life trustees had
met at Pendleton shortly after Mr..
Clemsons death, had organized. sig
nified their acceptance of the trust in
legal form and set about getting the
estate into such shape rs to take the
necessary action to carry out Mr..
clemson's purpose, with or without
-rate aid.
The progress of the struggle for
mastery between the two contendinG
IDEAS of education, was watched with
deep concern by all parties interested
in public affairs in the state. and it
became evident that the choice OF
Governor Richardson's successor
would cause a bitter fight. 1t had
been the purpose and work of the
Ring to excite distrust of the Re-
formers and to cause t.mid people -

proclaimed as the impending effort to

the friends of the Agricultural College

organization in every county, and
