Chamber of Commerce, are at work
completing the canvass for subscrip-
ton to the capital stock of the Sum
ter County Fair, a proposed cOrpor-
alton to be organized to hold annually
in this city an agricultural and live
stock fair. This committee will have
to make report at the annual meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce and
upon this report will depend the sue
cess or failure of the effort to have
a county fair in Sumter county. EV-
cry merchant and business man, every
real estate owner and every farmer
should subscribe for stock and should
give to the undertaking hearty and
substantial support. Sumter county
needs a fair and as it will be of di-
rect and immediate benefit to all citi-
zens of the county, there should be
no lack Of financial support to max q
it a success. In other counties, no
tab1y Orangeburg, the fair has not
only paid its own way but has earned
a large net profit each year since it's
organization. When the committee
calls be prepared to make a liberal
subscription Those who have al
ready made small subscriptions,
should think it over and if possible
they should increase their subscrip-

TILLMAN AND SMITH PLACED.
Senior Senator Is Chairman of Naval
Affairs While Junior Heads Com
mittec on Immigration.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Tillman's selection to head the nav al
affairs committee will no doubt be
a distinct pleasure to many cities,
where navy yards are located. He
has always been friend of the Char
lesion station, even though he was
not chairman of this committee, and
now that he will head it, he is in
even a better place still to safeguard
it's interests
Immediately after the formal ac-
ton taken today Senator Tillman had
his secretary, j. B. Knight, sworn in
as clerk, and his assistant secretary,
Granville Wyche, as assistant clerk.
1t is thus seen That ne means to lose
no time in assuming authority. He
will probably move his committee
room within the next few days. SEN
ator Tillman's other assignments are
as follows: Appropriations, expendi-
lures in the navy department, Five
Civilized tribes OF Indians. forest re-
servation and protection OF game,
mines and mining and private land
claims.
Senator f. d. Smith will head i'm
migration, and just here he should
be OF great benefit to the South. He
also got agriculture and forestry,
conservation of national resources,
geological survey. Interstate COM
merce, manufacturing, patents, post
offices and post roads and railroads.
AS chairman OF immigrtion and also
a member of agriculture and forestry,
there Is much good work for him to
do.

AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.


Those who were i'm attendance up
on the regular weekly meeting at the
Y. NJ. G.. A. Sunday afternoon were
very fortunate in hearing an inter-
esting and instructive address by Mr..
Hugh G. Haynsworth on the life of
Moses.
There were n large number of men
and boys present who heard what Mr..
Haynsworth had TO say with the
greatest interest and attention. The
speaker told OF the life OF Moses from
the time of his birth during a time
OF fearful conditions and amid the
darkest hours OF the Jewish race and
pictured him as the greatest of old
testament characters and, probably,
the greatest man next to the Christ.
He pictured in eloquent terms his
magnificent character. when called
by Jehovah out OF the desert to lead
a nation OF two million persons, from
the bonds OF slavery and without any
time FOR organization. forth through
countless dangers to promised land,
and that without any hope Of reward
for himself.
His code OF laws and his writings
have stood the test OF thousands of
years and have come down TO the
present time as the greatest OF any
man" said the speaker.
These sunday afternoon lectures
have been well attended I'm the past
and have been found TO be very in
structive and interesting by the boys
and men who have heard them.

TAKE TOLL Of SHYLOCK.
CLEVER NEW YORK THIEVES
STEAL OVER $25O,OOO.
Eain Access to Richly Stocked Vaults
or PawnbrOkcr by Means of Tunnel
From Adjoining building.

New York, March 16.-An East
Slde burglary, perpetrated by clever
cracksmen some time today, netted
the thieves the largest haul obtained
In new York city in many years
Martin Simons & Son, pawn brokers
In Hester street, were the victims, and
the property stolen includes $3.50. 600
worth Of jewelry, diamonds and other
precious stones, and $4,000 worth of
negotiable securities
me thieves gained access to the
pawn brokers' richly stocked vaults
by means of a tunnel from an
aDuttlng building on a neighboring
street, They made q clean getaway
with their valuable loot.
The police are of the opinion that
SIX cracksmen were employed on the
Job and that the tunneling required
all OF last night and the greater part
or sunday morning. 1t is their be-
lief that the actual robbery took
place this afternoon while hundreds
or persons were passing along the
street in front Of the pawn shop.
The police found that the tunnel
was begun in the cellar of a house
in Eldridge street, directly adjoining
Simons' place. 1t was driven through
the wall of the Eldrdge street house
and into the wood bin in the cellar Of
the SimOns store. There, leading I'D
into the pawn brokers' shop, is a
flight OF stairs. They are wired for a
burglar alarm, however, and the
thieves avoided them and sawed
away the overhead flooring at q SPOT
directly in front of the treasure vault.
The vault, which stands IL feet high
and Is built into the wall, was entered
by chopping away the masonry.
Later SAC, 600 OF the negotiable Sc
curities were found scattered on the
floor of the vault, but about $4,000
were missing, the robbers evidently
having been afraid to take them
owing to the risk of detection in their
disposal.
Another thing that seems to point
to the up-to-date business acumen of
the looters was that they left behind
in the litter about the vault there
the opinion that the cracksmen wore
gloves in robbing the vault, realizing
the extent to which the finger print
bureau of the police department is
capable Of going into detecting crooks
who leave impressions of their fin
gers at the scene of their crimes.
The burglars were well prepared
for their task. In the pawn shop they
left all the paraphernalia they had
used in preaching the wall, cutting
through the floor and hammering
their way through the brick and
masonry of the vault
When SimOns and his son reached
the pawn shop and made a hasty in
ventory they declared the loot taken
easily was worth $250,000, and that
probably it's value would exceed that
figure.
