Chauneurs Charm Women.

Richard X. Pryce. of London, who is
at the New Willard, is an enthusiastic
automobilist. and in speaking of the fair
ones who elope with chauffeurs, said:
Is there nothing more than an ordin-
ary masculine attraction for the femin-
Inc mind in a. .smart-looking motorman.
gifted with good manner, deferential
yet independent. and we'll educated also,
as often happens now? think there is.
Just as the fair sex on a liner often
wish they were Mrs. Captain. and just
as the most feminine of them adore the
actor, the singer, or the author, so
women in general love a man of action,
who does things. controls things, and
could control hem, too, IL the occasion
arose. The sense of being absolutely
dependent upon the man at the wheel
has a peculiar fascination, and results
in the sense of trust. broadening some
times into senses Of other things.
And. looking back said Mr.. Pryce,
this attraction toward the driver or
guider of moving vehicles or ships is
old. A hundred years ago it was the
most interesting form of tittle-tattle and
gossip to discuss how So-and-So's groom
or horseman had run away with the
heiress or proposed to a ward Of court
The seventeenth and eighteenth century
histories and plays are full of allusions
to such events
Perhaps Jehu. who drove furiously. to
the common danger. was a charmer in
his time: at any rate. there is no doubt
that rapid motion has distinct effect
upon the human mind. Sometimes it in
duces sleepiness. sometimes thought.
sometimes affection for the god, or may
be goddess. controlling the car: but it
is quite certain that no human person
remains quite uninfiuenced or normal in
a good car, by the side of a good driver
and in congenial company, to which. if
you add picturesque scenery, the pic
ture and the sensations would be COM
pIete.'

Young Man Loses FOot--Iincn Shower
to Bride-to-I}e.
Richland, February 20.-Special:
Brick Henry had narrow escape
Wednesday evening while trying to
board No. "a, through freight, which
had slowed up. He caught the ladder
with his hands, but missed his foot
ing, and for time held on with his
feet dragging the ground. When the
train reached the crossing his feet
were drawn under the wheels, cutting
his right foot off at the ankle, and
two toes on his other foot were mash
ed off. Doctors were summoned and
three were there in a short time and
dressed the wounds. He seems to be
getting along all right now.
One of the most beautiful events Of
the season was the linen shower given
the bride-to-be, Miss Maria Dendy, at
the home Of Hon. e. e. Werner Sat-
urday evening by Misses Lynn Yer
ner, May Hubbard and Pauline Davis.
AS the wedding will be on Washing
tons birthday, the color scheme was
red, white and blue, and 1t was beau
tifully carried out. After the guests
had arrived they were given sheets of
paper and pencils and were told to
make as many words as they could
In ten minutes out OF the words
George Washington. The judges de-
clared Miss Dendy to be the winner
OF the prize, very pretty work
apron. AS soon as the contest was
over five little maids were seen COM
ing from the dining room with re-
reshments, which consisted of iell-o,
whipped cream and cake. After the
refreshments had been served two Of
the little maids brought in large
basket filled with packages, and plac-
ed 1t in front OF the bride-to-be, and
then everybody had a time examining
the packages, which were Of various
sizes and contain nearly everything
bride could We, to begin house
keeping With. The out-of-town
guests were Mesdames r. f.. Strib
ling and N. S. Sigh, Misses Stella
Fincannon, Verna Stribling, Of Sen
eca; Misses Ada Baker, Laura
Smithson and Mrs. Luther England,
OF Westminster; Miss Emily Dendy,
OF Anderson, and Misses Sallie, Julia

Carrie Smith, Mesdames James and
Duncan Wright, Of Bounty Land.
Now, Mr.. Editor. when we (about
year ago. wrote up the "Old Maids
Club OF Richland and the linen
shower, ETC., we had no idea OF
the wide influence Of good county
newspaper. This catchy little ad.
was overdone, and the cry is still they
are sought for and won and gone, and
already we feel sense OF loneliness.
Ere the thunders accompanying this
last shower have been stilled, and be-
fore we get fairly well started In the
field work again, another Shower"
will come and drive us to shelter.
With a shudder and deep forebodings
we exclaim, Beware the ides of

TRAIN 30 HELD AND ROBBED.
Express Company's Local Safe Blown
Opcn---Through Safe stood.

Southern train No SO, the United
States Fast Mail, bound from New
Orleans to New York, was held up
by seven masked men at White Sui
phur Springs, four miles from
Gainesville, Ga, at 3.15 o'clock last
Saturday morning. The express car
safe was dynamited and the contents
stolen First reports from the scene
were that more than 100000 was
taken, but Southern Railway officials
declare the amount was $500. None
of the passengers was molested,
few in fact knowing why the train
was stopped.
The robbers escaped and are prob
ably bound for the wilds of North
Georgia, where pursuit would be diff
ficult. A posse is on the trail.
Broke Down Door.
The robbers broke down the door
Of the railroad station at White Sui
phur. hound the night agent and set
the signal for the train to stop. The
men held up the engineer by waving
red lantern. After he had stopped
the train, two Of them covered him
and the fireman, while the others
ran back and locked the passengers
In the cars. The express messenger
was then covered and one safe in
the express car was blown.
How much money was secured is
not positively known. The biggest
safe in the car is said to have con-
tanned 100000, and the yeggmen
made an attempt to blow it, but
failed. The amount Of money OBJ
tanned by the robbers is variously
estimated from a few hundred dol
lars up to several thousand. The
express messenger states that he
thinks they got about $500, and this
Is probably nearly correct.
After the train had been stopped
two of the robbers forced the engi-
neer and fireman to accompany them
press and mail cars, which the 9TH
ers had attempted to do, but failed
AS soon as the cars had been cut
loose the engineer was forced to run
his engine and the two cars n short
distance down the track to a deep
cut, where the other bandits, who
also had boarded the train. entered
the express car. and while one held
the conductor and express messenger
at the point Of a gun the others blew
the door Of the safe off, obtaining
the money. The engineer was j.
D.. FAINT, Of 700 Gordon street, At
lanta.
Not Greatly Damaged.
The only damage done the train
was the destruction Of all the win
dows in the express car and the
blowing Of a hole in the roof Of the
car. The train proceeded on It's way
North and the bandits were left in
tho Georgia woods.
There was a corpse in the express
car and the box was split.
Engineer Fant stated that the ban
dts came into the express car carry
ing an armful Of sticks of dynamite.
Three explosions were made with
this and the interior Of the car was
badly deranged. Ali Of the lights
were broken.
ave Are Seven"
When the train was held up every
member of the crew was put under
cover Of arms and a man guarded all
OF the entrances to the passenger
cars. The bandits told the crew at
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1911-02-22

the passengers or any member Of the
crew, and that all they had to do was
to obey.
There were evidently about seven
members Of the bandit band. The
leader Of the gang called his men by
numbers and the highest number
heard was seven. All Of the men
were masked, and each was armed
with blue steel Colts revolver.
Rewards Offered for Capture.
The Southern Railway, the South
ern Express Company, the Governor
Of Georgia and Governor Blease, of
South Carolina, have offered re-
wards for the capture Of the bandits,
the aggregate rewards amounting to
about eight thousand dollars.
Sheriff w. M. Kay receievd instruc-
tions from Governor Blease to or
ganize posse at once and assist in
the search for the robbers and to
leave no stone unturpnd in his ef-
forts to capture them, dead or alive
So far nothing has come into the
way Of practical clues that could be
worked on from this point.
Ycggs Operate in Atlanta.
(The Journal, 21st.)
Yeggmen blew the safe at the
Randall Coal Companys Office at
647 Marietta street shortly after 12
O'Clock Monday morning, and were
chased with bloodhounds by a num-
Der Of city and county police, but
managed to elude the officers. Three
white men, however, have been plac-
ed under arrest suspected of the
crime
The safe was shattered by a ter
rifle charge Of nitroglycerine, and the
$35 in money and checks which 1t
contained were hurled some dist
ance, but the fortunate approach of
trolley car frightened the yegg-
men away before they could return
to the shattered safe after the ey-
plosion and secure their loot.
Apparently there were three men
on the job. Two tracks leading
through the coal company's yeards
across the railroad we're found,
while the third man ran to North
avenue and went out that street to-
wards the eastern portion of the city.
About an hour after the crime De-
tectiVes Black and Bullard paced
John W. Dorsey, machinist OF 521
West North avenue; r. b. Kelly, a
machiniSt of 1872 Luckie street, and
iNo'Si' "h blpDcl, Vi SOuln
Boulevard, under arrest. charged
with being suspicious characters.
The two officers were in a Turkish
bath establishment on Decatur
street when the three men walked
In together. Their hands were very
black, apparently from the handling
OF powder, and the officers immedi-
ately suspected them of the crime
No other evidence against them has
yet been secured.
The two detectives had been look
Ing for Dorsey during the day, as he
has a bad record behind him and an
swers almost perfectly the descrip-
ton given by Engineer FAINT OF the
leader Of the bandits who held up
the Southern train near White Sui
phur Springs on Saturday morning.
The description Is also the same as
that OF the leader of gang OF three
men who shot and killed a police
man In Greenville, S. c., on Thurs
day night. Dorsey claims that he
has been working in the city for the
past two weeks.

only sixty-three majority in the house.
Twenty-Five insurgents stood by their
guns manfully and courageously. Ev-
cry Democrat did his duty.
One of the most pleasing features to
me Of the extra session was the way
the new members comported them
selves. They discharged their duty
with fidelity, industry, punctuality and
capacity. Some of them made ex-
traordinary records for new members.
Notwithstanding the dire prophecies
Of evil of the stand pat press and the
fears of timorous Democrats as to the
results of the extra session, it is now
cheerfully admitted on all hands that
we have strengthened ourselves. Ev-
NY Democratic paper in America
without exception, nearly all the in
dependent press and some fair mind
ed Republican newspapers indorse our
course.

Democrats did not put Taft in
a hole. He saved them the
trouble,

Some Ill advised friends of Presi-
dent Taft have been claiming that we
have tried to put him In a hole, but l
said Friday, Aug. IS, in my speech
closing the debate on the wool veto,
that instead of our trying to put him
In hole he had saved us the trouble
and had put himself in hole.
1t was claimed by the standpatters
and by the president himself that the
wool bill was not duly considered. 1t
is not true, as demonstrated in my
speech by giving the dates. The Dem
ocratic members Of the ways and
means committee gave nearly as much
time to the consideration of the wool
schedule alone as the Republican MEM
bers of the ways and means committee
In the Slxtieth and Sixty-hrst congress
es gave to the wool schedule and the
thirteen other schedules. SO that asser-
tion of the president and his stand pat
cohorts goes where the woodbine twi-
meth. 1t is simply preposterous and is
n feeble effort to find a reason for the
wool veto, for which there was no rea-
son except the demand Of the stand
patters. They, and they only, indorse
the vetoes.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1911-08-25
Democrats made an honest Of
fort to reduce the tariff on nee
essaries of life.

/ believe that three fourths of the
American people, without regard to
politics, believe that the rates of the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill ought to be
reduced, especially on the necessaries
OF life. The Democrats in both house
and senate and the Republican insur-
gents In both house and senate tried
honestly to reduce them, but the presi-
dent would have none OF 1t, notwith-
standing his solemn and frequently
quoted declaration In his Winona
speech that the rates of the wool
schedule are too high and ought to be
reduced.

Speaker Champ Clark, the first
Democrat to preside over a house Of
representatives in sixteen years, is de-
cidsdly Of the opinion that his party
has made a good record in the first
session Of the Sixty. second congress.
For the first time in sixteen years the
Democrats have been in control of one
branch Of the national government.
For the first time tho Democrats have
had an opportunity to initiate leeisla-
tion and control the action Of one
Branch of the national legislature.
Champ Clark occupies the position
which by everybody familiar with leg
lsIative procedure is conceded to be
the second place Of Importance in the
official scale Of the United States gov
srnment.
In tho following signed article, writ
ten for the American Press Associa-
zion, he expresses his views Of the work
Of the first session Of the American
congress In which tho Democratic
party has controlled the house Of rep
resentatives for sixteen years. Mr..
Clark does not hesitate to eritieise the
president nor to bostow praise upon
those insurgent Republicans who have
tried to assist the Democrats in carry
Ing out tariff revision program. This
utteranee of Speaker Clark, not only
on account Of tho official position he
occupies, but also because he is one of
the most prominent possibilities in the
next presidential campaign, is both in
teresting and important.
