Sheriff Shot by Robbcrs-Snfc Dyna-
mitcd and Station Wrecked.

Asheville, N. c., July 1O.-The
station at tho Carolina, Clinchfield &
Ohio railroad at Marion Junction, \.
c., was dynamited early this morn
ing and practically wreck ed, the iron
safe having been demolished, the
windows blown out and the roof
torn off. Only 81 was in the safe
at the time and this was taken by
the robbers, supposedly three men.
The wreckers placed dynamite on
top Of the safe and blew a hole i'm it.
Filling the hole aftcrward with dy-
Mantle, they blew the safe open and
incidentally wrecked the station.
Sheriff Mashburn, OF Marion, coun-
ty seat of Mcdowell, started in pur-
suit of the robbers with blood
hounds, but they eluded the pursuit,
coming in the direction of Abbeville
Tonight when No. IS, Southern
freight train, pulled into Old Fort,
n. c., three men were seen to alight.
The sheriff, who had come to Old
Fort in pursuit, attempted to talk
with the men when one OF them ran
burn was struck in the ankle and
painfully injured. A posse of citi-
zens OF Old Fort took up pursuit and
one OF the posse, a carrier boy, name
unknown, was shot in the arm. The
robbers escaped to the mountains,
followed by almost the entire male
population Of the little village.
Sheriff Mashburn was taken to his
home at Marion for medical treat
ment, and several Of his deputies
sent to Old Fort, where they will ar
rive at o'clock Tuesday morning
to take up\an organized search for
the dcsDeradoes.

THE ANNUAL EXCURSION.

@he annual excursion from the
.:H'ashore to the mountains will be
nan on the 18th Of August this year.
The people of Walhalla should make
iA'n extra effort this season to attract
Ehc large number Of visitors back to
Walhalla. Time was when these an
nual excursions brought hundreds of
visitors here, but Of recent years the
number has been greatly reduced by
reason OF the fact that few people
were willing to take boardcrs into
their homes, and hotel accommodate
tions have been inadequate to meet
she demands o. the excursion. Look
Hfter getting your friends back this
Htaar, and If you will take boardcrs
igiSo your homes let it be known.
In order to assist in getting visit
sors to coming this way again The
Courier will publish, from now until
Ehe time for the excursion, a list OF
nta1nes OF those who will accent
vooarderS at that time, and the num-
Der that can be accommodated. We
will do this free Of charge for all
Tho will furnish us the information.

There Arc More Than 10000 in Ru-
raj Delivery Service.

Washington, July 9.-The 10000
odd rural free delivery carriers in

airy increases as result Of an order
issued yesterday by Postmaster Cen

will mean an increase Of 500 over
the present salary Of 5000 for all car
riers on standard routes, with pro-
pOrtiOnate increases on the shorter
routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure Cf this extra $4,000
900. but left it to the discretion of
the postmaster General as to how
much Of it should be expended Mr.
Hitchcock decided to-day to author
iZe the expenditure Of the full
amount.
His desire to compensate the car
riers for any additional burden
which may be placed on them If the
parcel post system he has recon-
mended for rural routes Is approved
by Congress. was the important con-
sideration. Mr.. Hitchcock declared
to-day, which led him to make the
autho llZation.
The rural delivery system was
started fifteen years ago with 83
carriers, who were paid only 5000
year On July | there were Al, =
562 carriers, their aggregate salaries
being $35,793,000.
