MESSENGER LOCKED IN CHEST
At Point Of Pistol Messenger Abides
Robbers Commands.

Charleston, Aug. 29.-Locked in
the chest of the express car, where
he had been forced at the muzzles Of
two revolvers, Express Messenger
Coleman listened helplessly to a
masked bandit rifling his bags, while
No. 4 of the Southern Railway
headed on her way into the union
station at o'clock last night. The
robbery occurred somewhere be-
tween Charleston and Summeryille,
presumably at Ten-Mile.
The express messenger was Dusily
engaged with the usual work pre-
paratory to the arrival of No. ID at
the union station and did not notice
the bandit, who forced his way into
the car, until too late to reach for
his gun. Coleman realized that the
bandit had the drop on him and yield
ed without the struggle that might
have borne fatal results. At the
point of the revolvers he was forced
to retreat into the chest of the car,
and while the train proceeded for
ward at full speed he was placed un-
der lock and key, safely out of the
way of the robber, who proceeded to
make a leisurely and coolly calcu-
lating survey Of the premises.
Coleman was missed when the
train rolled into the union station at
9.15 o'clock and search was made
at once. He was discovered after
some time locked in the chest, and
when released told his story.
Immediately an anxious investiga-
ton was made to determine the
amount Of booty which the robber
had decamped with long before the
alarm for Coleman became general.
1t was ascertained at a late hour last
night that a comparatively small
amount, probably not much in excess
of $1,000, had been taken. Nothing
OF negotiable value had been over
looked, however, proving that the
bandit had made a systematic search
OF the car before leaving 1t, either
at the union station or somewhere
along the route when the train
slowed down temporarily.

HE WON'T PROMISE TO STAY.
"old Bill" Minor is On His Feet
Again.

Atlanta, Aug. 29.--"Old Bill" Mi
nor, who was reported to be dying
last week, is on foot again. He has
recovered from the illness which
made the prison doctors believe his
last day was near, and feeble as the
old man is he will again live to
wear the shackles.
AS the old man has grown feebler
during the past few months the war
den at the State farm has ii number
of times offered to take the shackles
off him permanently if the old out
law would give his word not to try
to escape, But lying is one of the
things Bill Minor detests and he has
preferred to wear the shackles to
the end.
The illness from which "Old Bill"
has just recovered dates from his
escape of few months ago, when he
hid himself in the swamps Of the
Oconee river for more than two
weeks, sleeping on the ground,
drinking swamp water, eating wild
blackberries and plums. He escaped
malaria, but contracted a stomach
trouble which nearly ended his life.

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEES ?
Every Article Of Merit that is Sold
These Days is Guaranteed---No
Guarantee Often Means
Poor Quality.

There is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
"stung" on a purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but
to-day it is unusual to find mer-
chant who will not return the money
for any article that has proved un-
satisfactory.
An excellent example Of this kind
Of fair dealing is shown by the clean
cut guarantee that Bells Drug Co.
gives on Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell us that any per-
son who pays soc. for bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone and does not
find it a gentle and most pleasant
liver tonic, harmless, but sure re-
lever of constipation and q perfect
substitute for Calomel can get his
money back just as quick as they can
get ii out of the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practical
ly taken the place of calomel. 1t is
absolutely harmless, sure in it's ac-
ton and causes - restriction Of
habit or diet No woner the drug
people are glad to guarantee it, while
other remedies that initiate the
claims Of Dodson's Liver Tone are
not guaranteed at all. adv.

Shows Cost Of Bad Roads.

In showing the cost to farmers of
bad roads, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture cites two in
stances. One was of two farmers liv-
ing equal distances from the market.
Both received a telephone message
that cotton was up 81 a bale, and
both hastened to take advantage of
the advance. One lived on a bad
road and could only haul one bale
The other lived on a good road and
hauled four bales. His advantage
over the other for the days work was
SO, all due to the roads.
The other incident was at Bristol,
Tenn. A farmer living not far from
Bristol had 100 bushels Of potatoes
to sell. Potatoes went up to $1.40
bushel in Bristol that wintor, but
the roads were so bad he could not
haul them, and they rotted, costing
him loss of $40.

). Q. G. MILLER DIES IN TEXAS.
He Was Prominent Citizen Of
Franklin County, Georgia.
Lavonia Times, Aug. 29.D


Another good citizen has left us
another apostle of righteous living
has folded his mantle about him
and lain down to pleasant dreams.
After 63 years Of this life, j. c. c.
Miller passed away, from heart fail
ure, near the home Of his sister in
Texas. Death came suddenly and
without warning on Friday, August
22d. Mr.. Miller was in Texas with
his son, Dr. Oscar Miller, visiting a
sister. He was apparently in good
health. At the time Of his death he
was out hunting and had gone a
short distance from his companions.
Not returning as soon as they expect
ed, they went to look for him, and
found him dead.
His remains were brought to his
home and inferred at Hopewell cem-
etery on Monday morning at II
O'Clock, with funeral services con-
Quoted by his pastor, Rev. G. NJ.
Howerton. His popularity in his
home was attested by the fact that
the largest concourse Of people at
tended his funeral that had ever
been seen at Hopewell church.
Mr.. Miller was born in Oconee
county, South Carolina, in 1850. He
moved to Franklin county in 1872
and had made this county his home
ever since. He had lived in the
Hopewell section with the exception
Of the years he was treasurer Of
Franklin county, during which he
lived in -rnesville. He was one Of
the best citizens Of the county, a
leader in church and school work
and in everything that was for the
upbuilding of his country. He was
a kind neighbor, loving father, and
an earnest Christian. He had been
an elder in the Presbyterian church
since 1875.
Mr.. Miller leaves a large family to
mourn his loss. Besides wife he
leaves twelve children-Mrs. T. H.
Stovall, of Martin; Clarence Miller,
Of Westminster; Walter and Postell
Miller, Of Franklin county; DR.. Os-
car Miller, of Atlanta, and Louise,
Henrietta, Hoyt, Maude, Hattie May,
Dwight and Edwin, who live at the
homestead in the Milliver section of
Franklin county. Mr.. Miller also
leaves several brothers and sisters.
The shock Of his death was a Sc
we're one for the family. On the
day before his death ne had written
a long letter to the members of his
family, telling them of the trip and
how happy he was to be with his sis
ter. The next news was that Of his
death. Mr.. Miller had been success
full in his pursuits Of life and leaves
comfortable income for the de-
pendent members of his family. His
farm at Milliver was one of the best
in the county.
