 Boarding the train just as it enter ed the city limits, the robber, flour ishing a revolver, ordered Thomas to stand with his face to the wall, and. after luckily obtaining several sacks of registered mail jumped off the train and made off some time before the train reached the station. Until the records of the Charleston postof- flee can be examined it will be impos- sible to ascertain the value of the packages taken. This examination was begun today.

 by the Bell Telephone System increas- ed 127 s per cent during the period from 1902 to 1901 and by 62.4 per cent from 1907 to 1912, During the same periods the number of telephones re- ported by all other companies and systems increased 1894 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively.
 It is estimated that there were l3,- 735 eos ,24o messages or talks sent over the telephone lines of companies, which had an income of at least 5000 during 1912.

 All Other Nations.
J. S. MUST WAKE UP

x Washington, March 7.-Fifteen million dollars for the purchase of aoroplanes for the use of the army and navy is the gist of the campaign Launched by Representative Claud McEngle, a Florida Democrat, who presents figures to show that the United States is tagging behind all of the leading nations in the develop ment of the airsltip as an instrument pf modern warfare.
 sS Representative M'Engle has intro aduced bill in the House asking this Government to get busy and purchase one thousand aeroplanes, to be dis tributed equally between the army and navy. He frankly says he does not expect his bill will become law at this session, but he declares that Cit is only a question of time berorr we consider this or some similar bill. The United States must soon wake up.
 x Figures easily obtainable show that the United States has been slow in it's purchase of aeronautical equipment although this country is the birth place of the first reallysuccessful heavier -than-ain flying craft. While

 cess of Democrats.
(By Jonathan Winfie1d.)

Washington, March 7.-Serene Payne of New York, oldest member of the House in point of service, and father of the unluckest of all tariff laws, is telling his Republican asso- ciates ill the cloakroom nowadays that the grand old party is coming back" He is not merely confident; he is positively convinced that the country is going to sweep the Republicans into power this fall
 "I will not predict the number that we will muster here in the next Con. gress,' he said, as he longed, just out of earshot of a tiresome debate on the Indian appropriation bill, and waited for the cue to get 10 work again. But we shall win back from the Democrats a great portion of the seats we have lost The party is growing stronger every day. The Pro- gressiveS are all returning to the old organization. The farmers who took alarm at Canadian reciprocity are coming back, and the men who voted the cost of living are coming back with them.
 I should say that the pivotal point in this years congressional campaign will be the prevalence of unemploy- ment throughout the country. There has been no unemployment worth mention since the Dingley bill was enacted in 1897 until now. Today there are 35O,0oO> persons sekeing work in New York City alone. Moth ing so bad as that was to be found even in 1894. The Democrats admit now that the unemployed are numer- ous, but they claim that the condition is chronic or permanent one. That's nonsense. Nobody has seen the unem- ployed in recent years before.
 Depression Helps.
 "This depression which has come with the Democrats is doing a great deal to bring Republicans together. It clears the political ground. Taken in connection with the tariff situa- tion it makes it inevitable that we should gather strength on all sides. The Canadian reciprocity program un- dertaken by President Taft cost us the support of a great many farmers. They imagined that they would be in jured. Today they discover, as l told them long ago, that Democratic tariff law may not only admit free the farm sproducts of Canada, but may admit the far more dangerous compe- tition of, Argentine, Australia and other exporting countries. The result is that every bit of the opposition that was raised against reciprocity will he turned this year against the Dem ocrats.'
 Uncle Serene" appears to be in no wise troubled about the outcome of thescdatestin in the seth New York dis tricts his Fome bailiwick. He began the ,iabisFof being New York con- gressman thirty years ago, and has kept steadily at it while several gen. erations of statesmen have come and gone, lifted themselves into the Sen ] at or died of over-anxiety.
