MEMBERS LIKE DISMISSAL.
At Least Some of Them Seem to be
Delighted.

Following the announcement last
week by Gov. Blease that he had dis
missed the members of the dispen-
sary commission, the members OF
the commission were asked for an
expression as to the act Of the chief
executive.
DR.. w. J. Murray, the chairman Of
the commission, who resides in Co.
lumbia, said that he had no state
ment to make at present. 1t is very
probable that the members will be
called to meet in few days.
A telegram was received from
Avery Patton, of Greenville, which
was as follows: "The compliment Of
being removed from the dispensary
commission is not without It's advan-
tages, since yielding this commission
removes the constitutional prohibi-
ton to my accepting a cabinet posi-
tion."
John McSWeen, Of Timmonsville,
said that he had no statement to
make at this time.
J. Steele Brice, Of Yorkville, sent
the following with reference to the
action of the governor:
"In response to your telegram
would say the commission a few
weeks ago gave to the governor and
through the press Of the State at
large the reasons of the delay in the
completion of their work and also
the reason why a certain amount of
money was retained in their hands.
1T is useless to discuss the legal
ity of the acts of the commission with
the governor since the governor, in
his own estimation, knows more law
than any other lawyer in this State.
s'I will say, however, that I do not
consider it any dishonor to be re-
moved from Office by man of the
calibre and character of our present
governor. My work as member OF
the commissions is an open book that
may be read by all men and leave
it to the honest citizens of South
Carolina who have no sympathy with
thieves and grafters to say whether
or not have done my duty"

Forced to Leave Home.

racked with coughs, are urged to go

that I want him, but perhaps the po-
lice would like to get him.
However, I decided to look him
up. This tout told me I had better
take a gun, as the fellow was armed
and was very desperate. That's all
right l said, I guess I won't need
it,
81 arranged it with couple of Of
ficers, then I went off up the street
and met Suttles in front of the hotel.
He showed a gun into my stomach as
soon as 1 spoke to him, but l knew
he wouldn't shoot.
"A few minutes later the two Off
GERS came along, one of them seized
his right arm and I hit him quick,
knocking him down.
HE was returned to the Missis-
sippi penitentiary, and I warned the
warden that he had better be careful
or Suttles would get away.
mot long after that I received a
letter from the warden stating that
not only had Suttles got away, but he
had taken one of the penitentiary
guards along with him.
''I replied, You may consider
yourself lucky that he did not carry
off the entire penitentiary.' ,"
Sequel to the Story.
Suttles went to Juneau, Alaska,
and made money. Some time after
that Mr.. Pinkerton was in the West
and met a man on a Pullman, who
knew Suttles.
"You might tell him it would be
we'll for him to pay his debts" Mr..
Pinkerton told him.
The detective chief took one of his
own cards and wrote on the back OF
it IN. J. OBrien." Mr.. O'Brien was
then president OF the Southern Ex-
press company.
Later Suttles went to the Memphis
headquarters of the Southern Ex-
press company, and asked for the ex-
act figures as to the loss and expense
to the company of the Meridian rob-
berry, and paid the amount in full.
Then he went to Jackson, Miss. He
went straight to the governor and
paid to the State, through him, $500,
which had been paid as a reward for
his capture, then he went to the war
den of the penitentiary and surren-
dered himself.
The newspapers used the story,
and so much sympathy for Suttles
was aroused that he was soon par
doned.
Suttles is now in the West, where
he has made fortune legitimately,
and he is also taking care of the
guard who helped him escape from
the penitentiary at Jackson.
"This story occurred to me- said
Mr.. Pinkerton, because old Bill
Miner is very much the same sort of
a crook, and I don't believe peniten-
tiary walls will hold him any more
than they did Suttles. Atlanta

BILL MINER WILL GET AWAY.
VIM. Pinkerton Prophesies that They
Can't Keep Him in a Camp.

"Bill Miner will get away; mark
my word. That fellow is fox, he is.
You can't keep man in a road camp
who can get through brick walls"
Such was the statement made yes
terday to a representative of the Con-
stitution by William Pinkerton, head
of the well-known detective agency,
concerning the leader of the band OF
robbers who recently held up the
Southern Railway train, robbed the
express car, and were convicted and
sentenced in the Gainesville superior
court.
Miner, who is an old offender, and
who was convicted in Gainesville un-
der the name of George Anderson, is
well known to the detectives.
When Mr.. Pinkerton received, sew
eral days ago, a picture of the old
man who led the gang, he remarked:
That's old Bill Miner; you'll find
he has the figure of a dancing girl
tattooed on his left forearm"
It turned out as he had said.
Miner, or Anderson, has been SEN
fenced to 20 years in the Georgia
penitentiary, but it is the firm convic-
ton of Mr.. Pinkerton that he will
soon make a getaway, and Mr.. Pink
erton knows Miner about as we'll as
any one else.
Should the prediction be correct,
Miner will have to. evade the officers
of two countries, as he is under life
sentence for a train robbery in Brit
ish Columbia.
Remarkable Case.
By way of illustration, Mr.. Pinker-
ton related the interesting circum-
stances of the case of former crook
named Suttles, with whom he had ex-
tensive dealings.
Suttles went from the Burlington
Railroad to the Pinkerton force as a
detective, and did fairly we'll as a
sleuth until he turned a pretty good
trick in an express robbery case, and
officials of the express company
wined and dined him until he was
spoiled.
Mr.. Pinkerton could never get any
more out of him after that, and sub
sequently let him go.
It wasn't long after that that the
Southern Express company went to
the Pinkerton agency in Chicago to
trace down a robbery at Meridian,
Miss. The trick had been turned
with duplicate safe key.
'I'Il wager that fellow Suttles had
something to do with it, was Mr..
Pinkerton's first remark.
Investigation proved that Suttles
and an old race-track tout had COM
mitted the robbery and divided the
spoils, although the express people
were under the opinion that Suttles
was assisting in hunting down the
criminals.
Not long after he had been con-
victed and sentenced Suttles escaped
from the penitentiary at Jackson.
"Some time after that I was in New
Orleans" Mr.. Pinkerton said, when
a race track tout knew came to me
and told me he knew where there was
fellow I wanted. I guessed who it
was, and replied, We'll, don't know

together with his assistant, p. o. Daste,

graduated upon the admirable manner
in which they handled the great
amount of Christmas business which
was a record week for Station A dur

there so many registered packages
sent from this Station, or We're there
a greater number received for distri-

force was not given any assistance
from the main Office to handle this in
creased business, but Notwithstanding
this, they were able to get out the
mail with as much despatch and
promptness as they were at the city

ance. The force of the Algiers post
office desires to thank all our people
here for their cooperation in facilitat
