Specialize your advertising:- There is no business that cannot be increased and benefited by ad- vertising. No class of advertising pays as we'll as a we'll written newspaper ad. There is no work you could do that would bring you as great returns as to use thirty minutes time each day in the study of advertising, if you are in bus mess. The great trouble with most advertisers in a country town is that they write an ad invoicing their stock in trade and expect by letting it stand week after week in the country newspaper to get di- rect returns from it.

Did you ever think what your ad in the newspaper is doing for you?

It is strange but thrue when a mere printer goes into a store to buy, he merely asks "how much is it?" When some merchant or his clerk wants a job of printing he will not only ask how much it will be, change copy a few times but will also say that's too much. |" Naturally the merchant knows bet ter what it costs to produce print ing than a mere printer and the measly printer does not know any thing about goods, except to wall every week-"patronize home in dustries." The merchant has a perfect right to buy printing where he sees ht-others should trade at home.

COAST LINE TRAIN WRECKED.
Tender and Coaches Derailed, but
Nobody Injured.

Sumter, March S.-Atlantic Coast
Line train, No. "a. was wrecked at
7.30 this morning when entering the
city, which delayed it for couple of
hours before it could go on to Flor

junction with the Southern Railway
and the tender and baggage and ex-
press cars were derailed.
No one was injured and the pas
sengers only suffered a slight shake
up. Another engine and baggage and
express cars were attached to the
train, which then continued on it's
way. The wrecking train arrived here
this afternoon to place the derailed
cars back on the track and repair
other damages.

gineer was covered by one robber
and made to uncouple the mail and
express cars and haul them down the
road a piece. Then the fireman and
the engineer along with the mail
clerk and express messenger, were
lined up and kept covered by one
bandit, while the other one blew
open the safe and rifed the mail
pouches. Resist? Why, I should
say not. 1t was instant death to even
move slowly when you had your or
ders from one of those cold-blooded
rascals. No. When the train crew
knew what was up they fell into line
quick enough, and asked no ques-
tions. Sometimes after the robbery
the engineer was made to uncouple
his engine from the mail and express
cars and carry the robbers some miles
away down the road, where horses
were ready for the flight. Once in
their saddles the bandits made a
straight line for Russells Park,
where everything was in readiness
for them. Occasionally the robbers
turned south and crossed the line in
to Mexico, where they knew they
were practically safe from pursuit.

An Arizona Robbery.
Some years ago robbery occur
red which presented some peculiar
features. One spring night two des-
peradoes, one named Alvador and
the other Three Fingered Jack,
boarded an Arizona and New Mexico
passenger train at a point few
miles north of Fairbanks, Arizona.
They proceeded to make rough
house, for awhile. After the shoot
ing was over the robbers left with a
pile of mail and some few express
packages, and cut for the mountains
near Benson. It seems that a
"green" express messenger was on
the run, and when he undertook to
defend the company's property he
had an arm torn off by buckshot
from a 'saWed-off' breech-loader. He
afterwards died. 1t was known who
the robbers were almost instantly.
They were old hands at the game,
and had been seen about Fairbanks
the day of the hold-up. Both of
them were known to be desperate and
fearless. Sheriff Scott, of Pima coun-
ty, Arizona, said that he had once
ordered Alvador to put up his hands,
and Alvador had calmly looked down
the muzzle of the pistol and kept
his hands at his side. They had been
in trouble all along the Mexican bor-
der many times, and were familiar
with the lay of the country, and with
almost all of the people living along

tains, northeast of Tucson. For miles
he rode toward the mouth Of GER
tain canyon mentioned by the rob-
bers. Suddenly he was challenged.
Out of the blackness of the desert a
man with gun in hand, approached
and exchanged words with him. Then
a blind was placed over the reporters
eyes and he was rapidly turned around
a few times until he lost sense of di-
rection. His horse was then
brought to him and, led by another
horseman, the reporter began a te-
dious and dangerous ride, which
would end in the robbers strong
hold. Miles of rough going were
covered before the mysterious sentry
ordered the reporter to dismount and
proceed on foot. Finally the camp
was reached and the blind removed
from the visitors eyes. Before him
sat the two desperate characters for
whom the State machinery, backed
by the best from other sources, were
even then searching. The two ban
dts and the sentry, being old ac-
uuaintances of the reporter, came
forward and heartily shook hands.
asked a few Indifferent questions
and then came down to business. The
terms were easy to arrange, and
were these: That the bandits would
walk into the sheriff's office in Tue
son within forty-eight hours, if the
sheriff would consent to divide with
them on the, rewards. You see, these
men had starving families to provide
for, and to their women and children
half of the rewards must go, or no
surrender. The sheriff, wise old
owl with years of experience along
the border, accepted the terms, and
within the given time the men walk
ed fearlessly into his Office and were
locked up.

that could be told of the nerve and

A Dangerous Game.

knowing what dangerous game
they were pursuing the officers of
the law waited for reinforcements be-
fore moving. The robbery occurred
in Cochise county and it was up to
the sheriff of that county to capture
the bandits. The sheriff had an idea
of. the tactics which would be pur-
sued, and bided his time. Railroad
detectives and secret service men
and express company detectives
secured the country to no avail. Al
ter a while the sheriff quietly went
out one night to a nearby ranch and
picked up his men, and also, third
one whom he wanted as witness.
The Cochise Jail was a frail affair,
so the robbers were taken to the
Pima county jail, at Tucson. There
they awaited trial. But something
happened. Just how and why no
one knows. At any rate before the
case was called the prisoners, Alya-
dor and Jack" escaped, leaving the
witness behind.
For weeks the robbers roamed the
country about Tucson and Benson,
laughing at the efforts of a perfect
army of officers to round them up.
They were wanted by the State, the
government, the express company
and the railroad. Consequently large
rewards, amounting to thousands of
dollars, were placed on their heads
-"dead or alive" Sheriffs, secret
service men, Wells-Fargc men,
Southern Pacific railroad detectives
and private man hunters" were out
for the money. The thing developed
into a farce from the 'man-on-the-
streets viewpoint. While all of these
officers were searching desperately
for the bandits, the bandits were
daily holding up passengers and
ranchers in Pima and Cochise coun-
ties, demanding food and ammuni-
ton. A sewing machine man was
made to dismount from his wagon
and go into a town and buy pistol
cartridges. The bandits finally tired
of the game, ald sent a note, by a
go-betWeen, to the sheriff of Pima
county offering to surrender under
certain conditions. A newspaper
man of Tucson, known to the rob-
bers, and q friend of the sherlft s,
was named to carry on the negotia-
tions. Meanwhile the army of re-
ward-hunters secured the country
fruitlessly.
