DUE WEST OFFICE ROBBED.
Yeggmen Blow Safe Open and Sc
. cure $1,100 in Cash and
,z~-~.. Stamps. ~-......

Due West, Jan. 8.-The Due West
postofiee was entered this morning
by safe crackers, and the safe was
blown open. The first report was
heard by some persons living in the
T immediate vicinity at lis a. M.
The robbers were not satisfied with
their first effort, and the second re-
port came about Is minutes later.
When the Office was opened this
morning it presented scene Of
wreckage. The entire front door Of
the safe was blown off its hinges,
and parts of it went through the
building and landed some fifteen to
twenty yeards on the outside, tearing
off several plank. About nine hun
dred dollars in stamps and tive hum
dred dollars in cash was stolen.
No trace Of the robbers. can be
found. Due West doesn't afford
night watchman, and the safe crack
ers had the advantage Of several
hours when the Office was opened at
Z o'clock. :-...-
No other towns or stores in this
section were visited.
It is believed the robbers escaped
in buggy. In their fight they drop
ped several dollars in small change
on the floor of the Office.
This is the second time the Due
West postofiee has been robbed
within the past few years. .

Prohibition That's Prohibition.

In the early days of the old State
Dispensary, much complaint was
heard about people drinking in the
baek-rooms of stores, alley-WayS,
etc.. So long as whiskey was al
lowed to be sold legally, of those
who bought it had to have some
place to drink it. But the city OF
Newberry-now: that whiskey can
not be sold legally-seems to be OF
the opinion that it can not be drank
legally. The municipal authorities
Of that city have recently passed an
ordinance making it one hundred
dollar fine or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding thirty days for ''any person
to drink or to offer or to attempt to
drink any intoxicating liquor or al
coholic beverage Of any kind what
soever in any street, way or alley OF
the town Of Newberry, OF in any
public building or Office Of the said
town of Newberry, or in any opera
house, theatre, public hall, place OF
amusement, church, schoolhouse, rail-
road station or waiting room, or
hotel Office or lobby, within the town
of Newberry.' =
A resolution was also passed TO
the effect, "That any subordinate
official of the town Of Newberry who
takes drink Of alcoholic liquors
shall be fined in the sum OF 50 for
the first ofense, and for each Of
fense thereafter $40; and if any
such officer becomes intoxicated, dur
ing his term of Office he shall be dis
charged from his position. J."
The Citv Council of Newberry ev-
identity believe in enforcing Prohl-
bitten 20 far as it is in their power
70 do so. But We pity the poor po-
licemen-they can't take drink,
even for snake-bite.-Laurens Her.

BOY KILLS TWO "YEGGS.'
Plucky Tallahassee Lad Prevents
Postofice Robbery.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. o.-n a
struggle early to-day with two safe
blowers, Paul Sauls, seventeen years
old, son of J. NJ. Sauls, the night
watchman at the postoffice building
shot and killed them both IN the
basement Of the building. The boy
was only slightly wounded. The
two cracksmen, both Of whom were
white. have not been identified.
Young Sauls was on duty for MS
father, and was in the basement
when he heard a knock at the door,
and going by cot, took up a pistol
before answering. When he reached
the door some Que on the outside
shouted that a mail pouch had been
picked up in the street, and he op-
ened the door to receive it.
Instead, according to the lads
story, he found himself looking into
the barrels of two pistols and the
order came to "hauds up"
my hands came up as they
bounced on me-" he said, "and as
they tried to bind me with a rope, !
ma managed to get my pistol in a strain
ed position and fired. The shot eVl.
IDENTIFY took effect, for only one OF
the hen men e1ung to me. I then placed
nv pistol Of my shoulder, and fired
to the rear several times, after
which I was free from their grasp. -"
That every shot from the boys
revolver hit its mark is shown by
bullet holes in the dead men. One
has holes in his forehead and right
temple, while the other was shot
through the stomach and face.
Il is believed that third party
was on the outside, for when the
robbers clothing was searched, three
Atlantic Coast Line mileage books
were found in the pocket of one'
supposed to be the leader Of the
gang. -. =,

STATE INSURANCE
Cash Assets Of $4,000 After Ten
Years Operation.-Fund is
Growing Steadily.
Columbia State, 9th.

OoAouoId OLdIe, OLu.
After paying all losses and ex-
penuses during the past year the as
sets Of the insurance sinking fund on
December 81 were $51, 1928, having
increased $6,243.29 during the year.
This department is under the direc-
tlon of the State sinking fund com
mission. The assets of the cumula-
tive sinking fund are $7OO,835.58.
The assets Of the ordinary sinking
fund are $79,2O8.47.
This showing by the insurance
feature is made Notwithstanding tho
losses sustained in the destruction
of the State Colored college at Or
angeburg and losses elsewhere in the
State. The interest received on as
sets during the year was nearly
enough to pay all losses and expen-
ses, leaving about 95 per cent. Of
the amount received from premiums
to be passed to assets.
Mr.. DeBruhl, now assistant attor-
ney general, in 1900 when a mem
ber Of the legislature introduced a
bill by which the STATED sinking fund
commission was authorized to carry
insurance at one-half of the. annual
premium charged by the standard
underwriters for insuring similar
property, such as court houses and
State property, State colleges and
asylum and county school houses ex-
cepted. The act was to take effect
the first day Of the following JAN
nary and upon the expiration: of the
existing policies. It therefore went
gradually into effect. The premium
rate was subsequently raised so as
to require that there would be an
nually paid to the sinking fund
commission two-thirds of the annual
premium charged by standard under
writers. So 81
Starting without capital, the siinsks'.
ing fund commission met all losses
and up to January I, 1907, over go i
per cent. Of the premiums collected
had been passed to assets: Expen-
ses were paid IN The meantime. In s
1907 an act was passed requiring the
sinking fund commission to carry
one-tenth Of the insurance earned
upon State, charitable and educa-
tiona1 institutions, the other nine-
tenths to be carried concurrent1y BY
reliable old line insurance compa-
MES. -.z.: ..
In 1909 this act was again amend
ed so as to require the sinking fund
commission to carry two-tenths Of
the insurance carried upon said in-s
stitutions and eight-tenths to Be ear

TILLMAN'S TERM OUT.
Successor as Trustee of Winthrop
VIII Come Before Legislature.

Columbia State. 9Th.

Columbia State, 9th.
The term Of B. 4. Tillman, as trus-
tee of Winthrop College will expire
this year and it will be necessary to
elect his successor. It. will be re-
called that six years ago when the
time of Senator Tillman as trustee
was out, the General Assembly elect
ed DR.. T. A. Crawford Of Rock Hill
as his successor. It developed that
the members did not know that they
were ousting the Senator and when
DR.. Crawford declined to accept the
Office he was placed back on the
board.
There is much interest in the elec-
tion of trustees Of other colleges and
there will probably be a number
nominated for the various positions.
Few Of these trustees now qualify by
obtaining a commission from the
office Of Secretary Of, State, some
because of dual positions held and
are therefore afraid the Constitu-
tional point might be raised and
others because Of indifference as to
this requirement of the law.
