Then he went back to the bed and re-

himself that Hollns was really dead;
and while he did so he ruminated in a
quiet fashion.
NO one who had seen Bill on the
drink last night" mused Mr. Finney,
could possibly feel surprised to hear Of
BiIl's death from drink. He drank all out
about a wineglass of the contents OF
two bottles Of whisky, and he put pre-
Cious little water with 1t. The strange
thing is that he didn't get fighting mad.
But he was not bit like that-L never

ANOTHER ARREST.
Henry Brown Charged With Being
Accessory to Gosnell.

Campobello, May ia sensa-
tional chapter was added to the
charge of arson against Allendar
Gosnell, charged with the burning of
w. J. Gibson's home, when four chill
dren lost their lives January 2S,
when Henry Brown was arrested this
afternoon, charged with being acces-
sorry to the charge of arson. Brown
is said to have confessed to a local
magistrate and B. A. Wharton, depu-
ty insurance commissioner, who has
been working on the case for some
time, saying that he was present
when Gosnell fired the house. Brown
is said to have made other state
nlents as to the alleged crime.
Brown was arrested by Constable
Caldwell three miles west of Campo
bello and was at once hurried here,
where an early train was boarded for
Spartanburg by the constable with
the prisoner. Gosnell is in jail at
Spartanburg.
Brown is about 35 years of age.
He was employed on an adjoining
plantation to that of Mr.. Gibson,
where the horrible tragedy of Jan
uary 2S occurred.
Citizens of Campobello did not
know that Brown was arrested on the
charge of being an accessory, but
thought he was being taken in charge
as witness, and the fact that he is
charged with participation in the al
legged crime was not known until af-
ter he had been taken to Spartan
burg and lodged in Jail.
Considerable excitement and the
most pronounced interest has been
manifest ip this community since the
arrest of Allendar Gosnell Wednes-
day.

WOMAN HAS CHARGE OF
BANK IN STATE OF TEXAS.
Charming Girl Presides Over the Destinies of a
County Bank-Thinks Women Should
Know More of Business.

that every woman, rich or poor,
should know something about busi-
ness. Experience and observation
have shown her the unlimited disas-
ter that can overtake the widow who
has been left a nice competency for
herself and children by the man who
was "a good provider,' but didn't
believe in "pestering women with
business matters"
$50 often," says Miss Hester,
such a woman will not have the re-
motest idea how to invest her sur
plus money to the best advantage,
nor how to take care of the property
left her and make it increase instead
of decrease" 1t is in these cases
that the woman banker may be an
effective counsellor and business
agent.
When women get fairly into busi-
ness they apparently show the same
disposition to let themselves be con-
sumed by it that men do, and the
banker of Lexington is no exception.
''The bank work engages my whole
attention" she admits. 1T has ut
terly become a part of myself. After
work hours or on Sunday, when /
meet certain people, I can scarcely
refrain from speaking to them about
some business transaction that we
are to have together next day.
AS to social features, she has lit
tie, compared with other women
who go out every evening. l learned
long ago that business and pleasure
do not go hand in hand. This being
quiet little town there is only oc-
casional opportunity for amusement.
I attend Sunday-school and church
services, and when a good lecture or
musical troupe comes to town, l at
tend these with pleasure" but most
of her evenings are spent with books
and magazines.
Before she became banker, Miss
Hester was school teacher and later
stenographer. That her trend to-
ward business may be Inherited is
suggested by some further testimony
from her concerning woman's lack
of business training and consequent
helplessness when the management
of resources devolves upon her.
"Our family has been more fortu-
nate in that line than some others
of whom I know, in that we have
had a sensible, economical mother,
who, upon the death of my father,
many years ago, did not give up and
grieve her heart out for him, but
kept her sorrows to herself and as
sumed the responsibility of keeping
the business going which he started,
and succeeded so we'll that to-day
the estate is worth more than it was
at his DEATH
From the viewpoint of the sociol-
ogist, she offers in evidence an inter-
esting conclusion. Il have no desire
whatever to get married." she con-
fesses. Il can not assign any rea-
son for it, unless it is that just COM
ing in daily contact with men and
studying their ways has made me feel
that l do not want one for hus-
band"

BANDITS MAKE BIG HAUL.
Daring Robbery Of Express Car on
Queen and Crescent.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 15.-A
rich haul, variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000, was made by
two masked bandits, who early this
morning held up the Queen and
Crescent New York Limited train No.
| 2, near Oklahoma, a flag station
eight miles south of Hattiesburg, and
blew open the safe Of the Southern
Express; car. Express officials to-
night deny that the sum obtained
aggregated anything like the latter
figure, but declined to make any esti-
mate of the loss.
The bandits, who are believed to
be the pair who held up the Mobile
and Ohio train, at Corinth, Miss, in
February, made their escape and to-
night we're still at large.
When Sheriff Bennett, of Perry
county, reached the scene of the
hold-up with bloodhounds about
dawn, the trail of the robbers was
taken up by the dogs. This led them
to the junction of the New Orleans
and Northeastern Railroad and tap
line road, where the trail was lost.
It is believed the men boarded a
freight train at this junction. Four
men are reported to have been seen
leaving the freight train when it ar
rived at Hattiesburg a few hours af-
ter the hold-up, but the authorities
here have been unable to locate the
suspected quartette.
The safe in the express car was
| locked with a time signal lock when
the train left New Orleans last night
and there was a guard in the car in
addition to the regular messenger.
1t is said there was one package of
money representing the payroll of
| the Alabama and Vicksburg Rail-
road at Meridian and about twenty
five packages of money representing
the remittances of agents of the ex-
press company at points along the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railroad. In addition to these, there
were two or more sacks of silver,
containing one thousand dollars each,
other packages of currency and sew
eral packages of jewelry, valuable
stock certificates and bonds.
The hold-up of the train was af-
fected in true wild Western man
ner, but notwithstanding generous
fourishing of weapons not shot was
fired. The passengers were not mo-
| Tested.
When the train was passing the
flag station, Okahola, the two mask
ed bandits climbed over the tender,
and with drawn revolvers, called out
to Engineer Maher and his fireman,
"Obey orders" The engineer imme-
diately threw on his brakes, saying,
''I'll stop right now
"No," said one of the bandits,
pull on arourd the curve and stop
when I tell you to stop"
After the train had turned the
curve above Okahola, the engineer
was given the command to stop and
complied promptly.
With guns pointed at their heads,
the engineer and fireman were
marched back to the baggage car and
the former was ordered to call the
express messenger. When Messen-
ger D. A. Gray, of Chattanooga, STEP
ped to the door of his car he looked
into the muzzle of a pistol and did
not hesitate to obey the orders to
get down.
