DEPOT SAFE BLOWN
OPEN AT LAURENS
SAFE:CRACKER WAS DISCOVERED
WHILE AT WORK.
Secured Nothing of Value, But Made
Good His Escape-NO Clue. to
WOuld-be RObber.

Information received in NeWberry
yesterday was to the effect that the
safe in the union freight depot of the
Charleston and Western Carolina and
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens rail
ways had been blown open by a safe
cracker, the attempted robbery, how
ever, being prevented by the discovery
of the man at work between and b
o'clock yesterday morning by a clerk
who was going on duty at that time.
It seems that the robber was delayed
in his work by drilling the first hole at
the wrong place. He then drilled a
second hole and blew off one of the
doors. The cash drawer, however was
behind the other door, and the robber
was at work cutting through the wood
en- partition to get to the cash drawer
when he was discovered.
It is stated that when the clerk en-
tered the Office he was asked what ne
was doing in there, and then dark
lantern was flashed in his face and ne
was told to get out. The clerk, 1t =
reported, went for assistance, and uIsss
on returning to the Office with assist
ance the would-be robber had made
good his escape.
T It was dark when the clerk entered
the office, and there is no clue so far to
the identity of the man. s:
! Just two years ago there was pls-
tol duel in the freight yards at Laur-
ems between Policemen Stone and
Walker and two yeggmen, Policeman
Stone being shot to death and one OF
the yeggmen being killed by Police
man Walker. The other yeggna19 made

The balloting this week discloses
some surprising jumps and recalls the
old adage "the battle is not to the swift
and strong, but he who endures to the
end.". Who will be the winner is a
question no one can answer for as it
often occurs in these lkontests, the
kandidate who lags behind for weeks
suddenly forges to the front and final
" carries off the prize when some other
is supposed to have the lead that can
not be overcome. 1t is all a question
OF get-up-and-get4there.

tween the three leaders apparently has
been a test Of strength, but none OF the
three has shown the extent Of her
resources. And their resources so far

The conflict is waged with deter
mination and energy and the end no
one can tell. Miss Julia Smith IS stead

MILLER LEAVES STATE COLLEGE:
Resignation Requested by Gov. Blease
on Grounds of ''PerniciOus Acti;>
yity in Politics." "

Columbia, Jan. 27.-On the grounds
of "pernicious activity in politics. and
general complaints from negroes .o1
the State as to his conduct in the
management of the institution, Cover
nor Blease to-day requested the resig-
nation of Thomas e. Miller: as presi-
dent of the State negro college, which
is located at Orangeburg.> The request
was made as chairman of the board OF
trustees of the institution, and without
resolution. Following THE request OF
Governor Blease that Miller resign
within "a hours, the board of trustees
passed a resolution asking the i'm
mediate resignation of Miller: Miller
resigned.
The resignation of Miller will take
effect on June 80, in order that Miller
may be permitted to wind up the al
fairs of the Institution.
The board of trustees, which hsld a
meeting in the Office of Governor
Blease, decided to hold another meet
ing shortly after the. adjournment OF
the general assembly, for the purpose
Of selecting a successor to Miller. The
negro has been president of the 5nstl-
tuition for a, number of years. His
salary is $4,000.
1t is understood that the probability
is that Prof. C. N. Nix will be named
to succeed President Miller. 1t will
be recalled that these two had fight
last year. about some matters connect
ed with the college, and an official IN
ouiry was had. President Miller re-
tires in June. There were some obll-
cations he had assumed and the board
thought it best for him to be retained
until the end of the session.
Miller Writes Resignation.

ton, Thomas E. Miller, the president
Of the. State negro college, located. at
