Thursday, January 30, 1902. * Y A. 4l.. /"* W e are giau to Know iinu iue tomeuerate Veterans will call the ladies to their aid in the project to erect a monument to Bamberg county's honored dead in the civil war. Sheriff J. B. Hunter, the president, was empowered to appoint a committee of ladies from each section of the county, but the gentleman who gave us a report of the meeting made no mention of it. We thought it rather strange that the old soldiers should not call on the ladies for assistance, remembering the faithful devotion and sacrifices of the noble women of the South during the war. Captain Hunter will announce the names of this committee in a short time. Good Roads Convention. We have received the following letter in regard to the good roads convention in Columbia: Columbia, S.

The anti-cigarette law has been topic of discussion for some time. Cricticism and uncharitable remarks of various na^ tures have been heaped upon the small boy, the beardless youth and young man. Girls desiring to enforce a "reform" have gone so far as to threaten to cutthepleas> ant relationship existing between themselves and certain young men unless they (the men) left off the "naughty practice." All of this is well enough. I have no - ' plea-to enter in favor of cigarettes or any other form of tobacco, but I do like consistency. The prevailing use of chewing gum among our women and girls, weakens the influence they might otherwise wield. It is a disgusting sight to watch a woman chew a quid of the sticky stuff?to see her jaws work like a machine shuttle and occasionally to watch her mouth open and the quid rolled to the other side and again the vigorous chewing resumed. "She may be fairer than the day, Or the flowery meads in May, If she be not so to me. What care I how fair she be?"

The chewing of gum, no matter in whose mouth it may be, leaves its mark of coarseness. If I may be personal I would say that I, as a mother, hold the province to discourage the use of gum in my presence by my daughter; she must have at least that much respect for my feelings. Can we not all enter a plea against gum in our homes and gradually broaden the field of labor until the laws of the land will come to our aid?

"You look like a real old-fashioned Santa Claus," she said to Mrs. Cleveland. "01), no, not quite that," was the reply, "for I have 110 toys in my parcels; they are filled with fruit that I am taking out to where I am staying, because they are very fond of these particular things and they can't be had out there." When Mrs. Cleveland left the train her friend thought that she would give pleasure to the brakeman by telling him that he had "entertained an angel unawares." So she said, "Did you see that lady on the platform with all those parcels?" "Yes," said he, "what of her?" "That's Mrs. Cleveland." The man refused to believe her. He could not believe that the wife of the ex-President, almost struggling with parcels, would be traveling alone in an ordinary day coach. ??* ?: 1" ..00^,1 J,Jo >,x.lw.F OUU11 MlIiJMl* iiriiUM ) pt?.^vu mo wvhvi. ?February Ladies' Home Journal.

A most bold and daring robbery oecurre 1 near Branchville last Monday night about seven o'clock, the express car attached to the evening passenger train out of Charleston, being robbed near Fiftyeight. a small station just below Branchville. The train had left Charleston about five o'clock and was going towards Branchville. They had just passed the 56-mile post when the engineer was notified by the fireman that there were some men on the tender who wanted the train stopped. He did not stop, and immediately they began shooting, one bullet passing through his cap. The negro fireman jumped off as soon as the shooting commenced, and did not show up again until the train reached Branchville. The engineer also climbed out 011 his engine with the intention of jumping off, but he decided he could not get back to his engine, as she was running fast, so as soon as the shooting ceased he climbed back and put on brakes. There were then two men in the cab; both had rifles and were not masked. A third was on the tender. They tried to make the engineer uncouple the train, but he would not do it, so they forced him to tell them how. One stayed in the cab as he said to keep tab 011 the engineer while the others uncoupled the train at the second class car. This fellow in the cab knew the engineer and said: "Mr. Reynolds, I'm afraid I came mighty near hitting you. I wouldn't hurt a hair of your head for anything. I only tired at you to scare you, for 3'ou wouldn't stop. We don't want to hurt a single employe of the railroad, but we want to get the stuff from that d n express company." Then he was ordered to go ahead, and one of the men told him to stop 200 yards from the 58-mile post depot, but as he was slowing up one of the fellows told him to go ahead right up to the "goat house," as he called the little station. As he fitnrvrWJ tlie train there was a <rood deal .railing to open it, tiiey tiea a rope to it and threw it into the river. Tuesday morning Carson told about it and carried a party to the spot where the safe was recovered. It had not been opened. The negro lived near the depot, and said three white men were all that he saw, and he did not know them. It is believed he knows more about the affair than lie told, so lie has been arrested. It is supposed the reason the robbers put the safe in the river was they intended to come back later and blow it open. About $11} was all the robbers got for their trouble, just about enough to pay for the quantity of ammunition shot away. The passengers on the train were not molested, but the news butcher in the second-class car was robbed of his stock of cigars, cigarettes, and chewing gum. He says one man came into the car and pointed a pistol at him, and told him to get out, which he did in a hurry. There was another man on the ground near the car, and they called each other "Mike" and "Pat." Hloodhounds were put on the trail of the robbers at the river where the safe was found and they billowed it down the river to a boat landing where two empty-boats were moored. There it was lost, but detectives are scouring that whole section of country, and every effort is being made to apprehend the robbers. The Gaffney Carpet company has been placed in the hands of a receiver. . The | mill will continue to run, and it is said the losses of the stockholders will be small. Columbia capitalists have organized a company for manufacturing glass. The sand of the "sandhills" of Rich land is said to be peculiarly adapted to glass-making.

In about five minutes they told the engineer he could take his engine back to his train, but lie said he was going to Branchville. One of the men then told him they guessed he wouldn't and rode back half a mile with him to see that he didn't, getting off while the engine was still moving. The engineer said that the men looked and talked like ordinary country folks, right here at home. When the train was first stopped the express messenger put out his light and started to leave his car, but was stopped at the door by a man with a pistol. Then he was commanded to open the large safe, but he told them he could not do so, as it had been locked in Charleston. They then took all the packages out of the small safe, and when the train stopped at 58 they rolled the big safe out and loaded it on a wagon, which had been backed up to the side of the car. The messenger says only two men were in his carat first, but they made him turn his back to them while thev were robbing the car, having previously disarmed him. He says, bowever, that it sounded like there were three men in the car when the safe was unloaded at 58. All the men were armed with repeating "Winchester rifles, and a great deal of promiscuous shooting was done. The baggage and mail car were struck repeatedly by the bullets, and the baggage master had to take refuge behind a big pile of trunks to keep from being killed. The conductor was in the rear coach of his train, and in consequence was not carried to the scene of the unloading of the safe, the baggage, mail and express cars being all that were carried. It is thought there were six or eight men in the hold-up party. This is about the same spot where the express car was robbed about two years ago, for which crime Bartow Warren, a young white man of Branchville, was tried in Orangeburg, the case resulting in a mistrial. Afterwards he shot and killed Thomas Watson, who was the principal witness against him. It is said lie has been in hiding down in Colleton county since the killing, and everyone here supposes this last robbery to be the work of Warren and a gang of reckless characters whom he has gotten together. As soon as the news became known, the express officials and the legal authorities went to work, Sheriff Dukes, of Orangeburg, going to the scene with his blood hounds. The sheriff of Charleston also sent a posse of well armed men. The hunt was commenced Monday night immediately after the robbery, but 110 clue has yet been found, except that after the robbery the men went to the house of a negro named Pinckney Carson and forced him to haul the safe to the Edisto river.

Mrs. Lease, the former Kansas orator, now of New York, advanced the following original idea the other day, apropos of the liquor question now being agitated there: "I would make whiskey as free as water; I would let the man who wants it drink his fill. It would result beneficially in killing oil a lot of saloon frequenters, who are only a burden to the world and to themselves, and eliminating their progeny, who furnish the recruits for the great army of crime and disease, and would bring into practical operation the law of the survival of the fittest." A Good Recommendation. "I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says Mr.J.H. Weber, a prominent druggist, of- Cascade, Iowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

A good idea of the correct reason for arying cloud shapes may he obtained y matching the steam from a railway lgine under different conditions. As issues from the funnel it is transareut water vapor. On a moist, cloudy ay it will hang in thick, fleecy masses 1 the track of the train. In dry, bright eather it will rise in light, thin reaths, which quickly disappear, and gain when the engine is standing in station the steam will collect in msses above it. These are practically the conditions f cloud formatiou. The shapes vary ccording to height above the earth, to le temperature of the particular air rrent in which they are floating, to lie force and direction of the wind at :ie various altitudes and also in some leasure to the electrical condition of ae atmosphere and the amount of ust in it. As a rule, the higher the clouds the ghter they are and the more widely pread. The so called mares' tails and mackerel sky are good examples of [lis. Some of the former are over five files high and are believed to be comosed of minute particles of ice. The louds in a mackerel sky are generally bout three miles high. The heavy cumulus clouds which so ften look like vast mountain ranges re only found in the lower and molst: r layers of atmosphere. Their lower urfaces are from half to three-quar?rs of a mile above the earth, while heir higher points may range from wo to three miles In elevation. Still iwer than these come the heavy flat lasses of nimbus or rain clouds which re seldom more than half a mile above he earth. Sports of tlic Crnsndcr*.
