IRISH HOME RULE BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE OF

London, Nov. 1.-THE Irish home
rule bill passed the House Of Com
mons on it's thifd reading tonight af-
ter motion for rejection of the meas
ure, proposed by William C. Adam
son, the Opposition leader, had been
defeated'by 1873 to 81. =
The measure passed without any
noteworthy incident in a rather tame
debate. The Liberal and Labor men,
bers, who have boycotted it through
most Of its stages as a sign of their
conviction of it's hopefulness as a
sign of their conviction of its hope
lessness as a settlement of the Irish
problem, were again absent today
The final stage was reached in small
and rather listness gathering Of mem,

HUNTING POSSUMS

It "used to be-" as the saying is
that people hunted possums, but
possums have now become the hunt
ers. On account of the low price of
cotton, and the green persimmons,
resulting from the late fall, the pos
sums are leaving the country and
coming to town, where we fear they
will find only sad merchants, empty
flour barrels, very little persimmon
beer, and none of any other kind
barring Savannah River white light
ming and the "Tonik" little while
ago dispensed by Mike.

FAIL IN ATTEMPT E.
TO ROB EXPRESS
Two White Men Lose Safe Contain
ing $16,00-Leave Their Booty
On Side Railroad.

To lose a safe containing $4,000
in cold cash and then to have it re-
turned again with few hours, in
tact and with it's contents unmolest-
ed, was the very unusual experience
of the American Railway Express
company yesterday morning.
The safe was on Southern passen-
ger train No. SO which leaves Colum-
bia for points north at $40 a. m.
Near Killians, two white men enter
ed the swiftly moving train through
the side. door, according to express
officials, held up the messenger, R.
W. Peterman of Columbia, tied his
hands behind his back and then rolled
the big combination safe, weighing
about 1900 pounds and containing
$4,000 out of the door. They then
searched the messenger, secured his
keys and opened his small safe from
which they removed three packages
one containing 1921 in currency. The
contents of the other two packages
had not been definitely ascertained
last night, though one is supposed
to have contained jewelry. e..
The two men jumped from the
train after it had proceeded about
one and one-half miles from the
point where the safe was rolled out.
The messenger says he mounted a
barrel in the express coach and
stopping over managed to reach the
signal cord and stopped the train
When the, conductor learned what
had happened, he at once backed
the train, to the point where he sup
posed the safe to have been thrown
out but saw no traces of it. The
train then proceeded to Blythewood
where it met a freight train, in
charge of conductor D. H. Plott
coming south. The crew was IN
formed of the robbery and was re.
quested to keep a sharp lookout fol-
the safe. The freight train at once
proceeded toward Columbia and Con
ductor Plott saw the safe lying be-
side the track about a half mile
south of Sharpe. The freight was
stopped, the safe loaded on the en-
CINE and it was brought to Columbia,
From it's appearance, railway and
express officials are of the opinion
that it was not molested after it was
thrown from the train, and it is sup

boggan slide" in prices, so often:
spoken of, is mere myth. He de-
clares that the only goods on which
such unusually low prices are being
quoted are the "shoddy" goods and
special job lots, such as are always
he says, to be found at this seaon OF
the year. Mr.. Watts declares that
the retailer is losing money today
and that few clothing merchants arc
selling reliable goods alta profit
The Columbia retailers are selling
clothes at cost, and yet the clothiers
association declares that the prices
of next years clothes can be but
slightly lower than this years
prices. Labor, one Of the chief items
of cost, says the secretary of the
clothiers association, is not reduced.
The manufacturers do not want to
return to the "sweat shop" plan OF
building clothing.

IN MACON AT SOC BU.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 11.-Sweet po-
tatoes, sold today on the streets of
Macon for so cents per bushel, have
dropped far below any price quoted

toes retailed here for as high as
$3.50 per bushel. \
