ATTEMPT ROBBERY AT SENECA.
Cotton Mill Safe "Nitroed," But the
Charge Was Not Fired.
(Farm and Factory, 1Sth.)

Yeggmen, presumably amateurs,
made an unsuccessful attempt 10!
crack the safe at the Seneca Cotton
Mill office during the night Sunday.
| The vault was. not opened and no
/ money was taken. Up to this morn
ing officers report that there is no
trace of the guilty parties.
Attaches of the mill learned of
the attempt Monday morning when
the Office was opened. 1t Is evident
that the robbers entered rhe building
by way of side window, one light
having been broken. Through this
fastener and raise the sash
A quantity of soap was placed over
the cracks in the doors, and some
liquid, probably nitroglycerine, pour
ed in the opening. Either becoming
frightened or deciding to abandon
| the attempt, the charge was not ig-
nited and the safe was in no way
damaged. Victor Jones, in charge of
| the mill office, thinks the yeggmen
were frightened while at work and
| beat hasty retreat through the front
| door, it having been found ajar Mon
day morning. Mr.. Jones says there
was only a small sum of money in
the safe Sunday, not over $12 having
been left in the. building after the

fore
Those who viewed the safe Mon
day expressed the belief that the
| work was that Of amateurs, who were
| not equipped with the usual supply
| of tools. No holes were bored, the
men probably considering the small
| opening between the doors large
| enough to enable them to accom-
plish their purpose.
News of the occurrence was re-
ceived in Seneca Tuesday morning,
those working on the case seemingly
thinking it best to keep the matter
quiet until some clues could be
found. Sheriff Davis was among the
first to view the safe and is now MAX
ing a determined effort to apprehend
the guilty parties. Officers in neigh
boring towns have been notified to
keep close lookout for suspicious
characters.

gang Of housebreakers have been on

EMERGENCY MONEY SENT TO SC.
$642,4OO Already Shipped-Balance
to Follow Soon.

Washington, Sept. t7.-Represen-
tative Lever, as a result of a confer
ence with Treasury Department Off
cials concerning the complaints of
South Carolina bankers that they
could not get hold Of any emergency
currency, received to-day letter
from w. p. Malburn, assistant secre-
tary of the Federal Reserve Board,
declaring that out of the thirty-six
banks forming the State Currency
Association twenty-three had applied
for emergency currency under the
amended Aldrich-Vreeland act, and
that they have asked for only
$1,304,750 of the total of $6,072,O0O
available for the national banks Of
South Carolina.
OF the applications made $1,3O1,-
600 has been approved and $642, 400
OF this has been actually shipped, the
remainder being in process Of print
ing and likely to be shipped within a
week.
VIII urge 1'uDuC1Jy.
Tomorrow Representative Rags
dale, member of the banking and
currency committee, will offer an
amendment, prepared by himself and
Mr.. Lever, to the emergency amend
ment, which has already passed the
Senate, providing that the Secretary
Of the Treasury shall require banks
receiving emergency currency to re-
port each week the amount issued
upon warehouse receipts for cotton
grain and other agricultural pro-
ducts and naval stores, the amount
loaned upon such receipts, the
rate of interest for such loans and
in case of rejection, the reasons
therefor, which statements shall be
published in newspapers of general
circulation in the locality of the
banks.
Messrs. Ragsdale and Lever hold
that these statements in the COM
munities affected will compel the
banks, if not disposed voluntarily to
do so, to carry out the intent of the
government that the emergency cur
rency shall be used for the purposes
for which it is being provided.
May Not Admit State Banks.
1t Is now apparent that the bank
ing and currency committee will not
endorse that feature Of the Hoke
Smith amendment to the emergency
act admitting State banks to it's priv
ileges directly and removing the 10
per cent tax on State bank currency.
Instead the committee will probably
report in favor of the first part Of the
Smith amendment, raising the
amount Of commercial assets on
which emergency currency may be
based to rs per cent instead of 80
per cent, as at present.
The Federal reserve system will
probably be in operation by October
15, and it will afford much more re.
| lief, in the opinion OF experts, than
the Aldrich-Vreeland Act, even in
the latter's amended form. Under
the Federal reserve act commercial
assets may be accepted even up to
100 per cent as a basis for currency.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March s.-According to the
animal husbandry experts at Iowa
State College who have studied the
horse market during the past year or
two. Iowa farmers ought to quit trying
RI raise light or general purpose horses
and devote themselves to the produce
ton Of first class drafters Present
prices of light horses are not remun-
erative but drafters bring prices that
give a margin Of satisfactory profit,
because country and town alike need
the drafter in their business, the auto
truck to the contrary notwithstanding.
After years story of the markets
and many interviews with buyers and
situation was made by w. ]. Kennedy,
director Of agricultural extension or
Iowa State College. There is very
good future for the first class draft
horse. but there is practically no pro-
fitahle future for any class Of light or
general purpose horses, with the pos
sible exception of the saddle horse
That Is also the opinion Of such men
as Prof. w. II. Pew, head Of the ami
NAL husbandry department, and Prof.
C. n. Arnett.
Drafters Always in Demand.
1t is the opinion of Professor Ken
nedy that Iowa farmers had better
confine their attention to the breeding
of real high class drafters because ex-
perience Is demonstrating that neither
the work Of the farm nor Of the city
can be done we'll without them. 1T is
my Judgment that auto trucks and
tractor blowing outfits are not going to
replace high grade draft animals. he
says. I'm the cOngested parts of the
larger cities it has been found that
good draft horses can do 10 per cent
more work than auto trucks and for
only go per cent of the cost.
Present day draft horse markets
demand animals that weigh 100
pounds. and. upwards, the heavier. the
higher the prices paid. In these days
the farmer should breed only his good,
big sound mares end use only the very
best draft stations available. Avoid
the understood or unsound sire. There
is much more profit in raising three
good horses than five common ones.
All the markets are eager for the good
stuff while the misfits go begging for
buyers"
