NAIL CAR ROBBED IN ALA.
Clerks Handcuffed and Registered
Packages Riaed.

Birmingham, Aug. 6.-The mail
car on the fast Louisville and Nash
vile train No. from New Orleans
was robbed early last night by two
unidentified white men. All register
ed mail was taken, but no estimate
could be made of the amount obtain
ed. When the train reached Birming-
ham on time at S:37 o'clock p. m. two
of the mail clerks, George Hoover
and E. G.. York, were found hand
cuffed. Chief Clerk Harry Everett's
thumbs were tied together with heavy
twine.
The robbers boarded the car at Ca
lera, On the dark side, after the train
had begun to move. The clerks said
they Immediately were covered with
pistols and ordered to turn their faces
to the wall. Everett looked around
and was fired at, the shot striking
near his head. The robbers jumped
from the train at 14th street Birming-
ham.
Everett said both robbers were
short, slender men. He did not get
a good look at their faces. The
clerks first saw the robbers jump to
the mail car on their hands and
knees, One man kept his pistols on
the clerks while the other ransack-
ed the mail. The distance from Ca
lera to Birmingham is 33 miles. There
was plenty of time to make thor
ough job. No one on the train other
than the clerks apparently knew the
ROBBERS were abroad.
When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at 14th street, Bir-
mingham, he glanced back and saw
the men jump from the mail car door.
This aroused his suspicion and he in
vestigated.
A quick run was made to the Louis
vile and Nashville station, where the
alarm was given. Every police sta
tion was notified and automobiles
with detectives started a search. The
handouts were filed from the clerks
wrists.
E. G. York, one of the clerks in the
car, was in the Louisville and Nash
Vile mail car which was robbed near
Boyles about year ago.

His Cat Came Back.

When Dr. H. L. Ross, a dentlst OF
Canaan, Conn, left there in his auto
mobile for the Chatiemac club, OF
which he Isl a member, at Lake Cha
tiemac, in the Adirondacks, early in
July, he took along a maltese cat,
which R. T. Farnum, druggist in
Canaan, had given him.
Just twelve days later, when Far
mum was locking up his store at night
the same cat, thin and starved, ap-
peared at the door. 1t had hiked $50
miles.
Mrs. Ross wrote to her husband,
telling him of the cats return and
asking him if he succeeded in getting
it. to the mountain resort or whether
it escaped on the way.
She received a letter in which DR..
Ross said he had the cat when he
reached the Chatiemac club, but that
on the second day it was missing and
no trace of it had been found. 1t was
feared at the club that the animal had
been caught by a wild cat or a bear,
which abounded in the mountains, or
fallen prey to some other wild beast.

HIS HORSE STRUCK DEAD.
Mail Carrier also Stunned by Lightn.
inc Near BlackSburg.

Blacksburg, August 7.-Mr. John
r. Love, a rural mail carrier going
out from Kings Creek, near here, had
a narrow escape from death recently.
He was out on his route when a
storm came up and the lightning be-
came very vivid and the flashes close
together. One binding flash came
and when Mr. Love could see, his
horse lay dead and one wheel of his
mail wagon was entirely demolished.
He says that he was stunned for some
tins, but does not know how long.
He was near a house and he secured
another horse and buggy and carried
his mail through.

DEAD" LETTERS YIELD ST., ,1O5
Postoffice Department Conducts Its
Annual Auction of Mail.

When officials of the dead letter"
branch of the postoffice department
at Washington finished counting the
dimes, nickels and pennies derived
from the annual "dead-letter' sale on
the last day of July, they discovered
the the United States government
was S1,1O5.75 richer as the result of
carelessness on the part of those who,
in the last year, intrusted badly di-
rected packages to the mails. No
parcel post matter was in this sale,
as that service has not been establish
ed long enough to permit of the sale
of uncalled-for or rlisdirected pack
ages.

Battle Against the Boil WeevI.

Atlanta, Aug. High councils OF
war are being held preliminary to the
great battle against the boil weevil
which will begin in South Georgia
within the next few months.
In Washington Georgia's senators
and congressman are discussing the
question daily with the officials of the
department of agriculture. Senator
Hoke Smith and Congressman Rod
denberry are receiving the co-opera-
ton of several other senators and rep
resenatives, among them Senator
Smith of South Carolina, Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana; Bankhead of
Alabama; Sheppard, of Texas; Con-
gresham Lever. of South Carolina;
Hefin, of Alabama, and others.
The Georgians have obtained thou
sands of pamphlets and bulletins on
the boil weevil and are sending them
to the farmers in the Georgia counties
near CQG AldDdmd lluG.
The boil weevil is expected to in
wade Georgia about this time next
year. The greatest difficulty arises
from the fact that many farmers are
slow to realize the seriousness of the
situation far enough in advance. 1t
usually takes a crop failure to con-
vince some planters of what they are
up against.
At a conference OF Georgia repre-
sentatives headed by Senator Smith,
with the officials of the United States
department of agriculture, the prop
osition of establishing a zone in which
no cotton shall be grown next year
and which would amount to boil
weevil barrier, was not regarded with
favor. It would be of doubtful legal
ity and very expensive. The fight
with the boil wevil will be hand-to-
hand battle. The department states
that one of it's difficulties is in induc-
ing negroes to adopt and push the
proper methods for fighting the pest.
Millions and millions of dollars will
be saved to the farmers of Georgia if
they unitedly and untiringly fight the
Mexican pest that blasts and lays bare
the cotton fields. The work can be
started this fall, and every farmer
who wishes to learn how to fight the
weevil should get into communication
at once with Senator Smith or one of
the Georgia congressman.

LANCASTER HAS $4,000 FIRE.
G.. and l.. Railroad, Cotton Oil Co.,
and Hardware Co. Losers.

Lancaster, Aug. 9.-Lancaster was
visited this morning by one of the
most disastrous fires in her history.
The office building and the gigantic
seedhouse of the Lancaster Oil Com
pany. the Lancaster and Chester Rail-
way passenger and freight depot
with all contents, and a warehouse OF
the Lancaster Hardware Company,
filed with furniture and hardware
were totally destroyed.
The fire originated in the seed
house of the Lancaster Cotton Oil
Company, and when the department
arrived the building was ablaze from
end to end. The heat was so intense
that the fremen could not approach
close enough to do effective work.
Famed by strong south wind the
flames swept across the railroad
tracks to the depot. The wooden
structure, approximately four hun
dred feet long, was soon a mass of
flames.
From the depot the flames swept
across to the warehouse of the Lan-
caster Hardware Company, another
wooden structure, which likewise was
lost. By hard work the plant of the
Lancaster Lumber and Supply Com
pany and the fertilizer shed of the
Lancaster and Chester Railway were
saved.
It looked for a time like the main
building of the Oil Company was
doomed, but the protection afforded
by a fire wagon saved this building.
The residence of H. Y. Hathcock, to
the right of the Office building,
caught several times, but was saw
ed.
The loss is approximately $4,000.
The Lancaster and Chester Railway
were the heaviest losers, as the depot
was filed with inbound freight ac-
cumulated since the disastrous wreck
of last week. The company''s loss was
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
The Hardware Company's loss is $3,-
900, fully covered.
The confagration was witnessed
by the largest crowd ever seen at
fire in Lancaster, the city being filled
with shoppers from the country
while the citizens generally turned
out en- maSSe.

No Jobs for the Negro.

President Wilson has been the re-
cipient of a number of uncomplimen-
tary criticisms recently because OF
his appointing a negro to the post OF
registrar of the treaspry. This post
has always been given to a negro, it
seems. Mr.. Wilson was following
the precedent of President Cleveland,
who appointed Judson Lyons, of Au-
gusta, Ga.
While the people of the country
realize that the negro vote is not
negligible factor in presidential cleo
tions, and while thousands of negroes
in pivotal states, such as Indiana,
turned to Wilson in the last election,
yet there is deep seated objection to
giving even one position to the negro
in which he would have authority
over and the directing of white peo-
pie.
The treasury department has been
"cleared OUT by John Shelton Will
liams, we are informed, and the en-
ployes so grouped that no negro has
supervision of white clerks. We think
in view of the wholesome work done
hv MIR. Williams, that the president
made an unfortunate selection in
naming the negro Patterson from
Oklahoma. The appointment will be
withdrawn, as Senator Gore of Okla
homa whose grandfather, by the way,
was from Chester county, South Caro-
lina,~ has made vigorous protest that
the president cannot but withdraw.
When we come to think of it, how
ever, isn't it pitiful that great parties
1un after the negro vote-and the
negro gets nothing out of it? The
best thing to do is repeal the 14th
and 18th amendments to the con-
stitution and thus prevent the par
ties from involving themselves in any
such deplorable tangle.-Anderson

The Rush for Divorces.

Twitted by the Twiggs County Citi-
zen that the superior court of Bibb
county, on one day, granted verdicts
in twenty-eight divorce cases, The
Macon Telegraph asserts that many
of these divorces were of negroes,
but "too many were white
The Telegraph sees in numerous
youthful marriages responsibility for
so many divorces.
There is now bill pending in the
legislature which aims at the real
trouble, but" according to The Tele-
graph, cit does not go far enough" "
The Telegraph contends that mo girl
under eighteen or boy under twenty
one ought to be permitted to marry
without the written consent or verbal
consent of the parents, the latter be-
ing present as witnesses in the latter
case. The law ought to make it a
misdemeanor for any minister or off,
Ger to marry runaway couples when a
bow or man steals a young girl away
from her parents. If both are of age,
and accountable, there is no occasion
for elopements. They can do as they
please"
The Carolina way-no DIVORCES
a mighty good way, if there were only
concert between the states-that is,
if each state would abide the mar
riage laws of the other states. AS 1t
is, when they can't get divorce in
Carolina, they live year in Augusta,
or some other border point, and run
up the divorce average in these neigh
boring cities.-Augusta Chronicle.
