SAFE BLOWERS
 HARD AT WORK
LOOT VILLAGES AND ESCAPE TO TALLADEGA WHERE THEY MAKE SEV AL ATTEMPTs-G O oD FARMS IN CLAY COUNTY

Talladega, October 11.-(Sp eciaL J. After footing the village of TalIadega Springs last week, the safeblowers paid visit to Childersburg Sunday night and, after three attempts at different places, they finally succeeded in secur- ing money from the safe in the South ern railway office. This safe was To. eated in the passenger depot and the robbers obtained $2O to $50. A sim liar attempt to open the Central of Georgia safe a the same village failed but they broke the knob of the com bination. Another unsuccessful attempt was made on the safe at M. J. Cliett's store. Judging from the character of the work and their repeated failures these burglars were anna teurs or did not have the proper appliances Two suspicious characters were seen idline about Childersburg some hours previous to the robberies. Both were young white men, about n years old. One of them wore a blue serge suit, a smal; black hat, was feet, or inches tall, and weighed about 145 pounds. The other was a slenderly built man. feet inches high and wore a grey suit, and black, soft hat After tn e robbery they disappeared from Chi1- dersburg.

Without a vague regret
That l no more may stalk through

If they would fill the bill;

We can dance standing still.

For fear that l will fall

Il have been asked why | am sun

the inquiry, for every man ought to be
ready and willing to give reason Tor
the faith that is in him.
Il am supporting former Governor
Smith for another term as governor
of this great state for the following
reasons:
Because of the deep, active and sin
cere interest he has constantly mani
tested in the cause of education-as-
pecially in the cause of free public in
