ROYAL r.AKIXG POWDER CO , NEW 70UKATTEMPTED UUKGLAKV. On Thursday night an unsuccessful attempt was made by burglars to e.iter Q. D. Yviiliford's store. When the store was opened Friday morning it was nouceu luai augur iju;c5, uuu uccu bored in tbe back door, and that the bar which is used to fasten this door had been slipped nearly out of place. The would-be burglar must have been badly frightened at this stage of tbe proceedings or lie would not have stopped when bis t forts were about to be crowncd with success. The augur that he used in converting the door into something resembling a porous plaster was left as a souvejir. Mr. Williford suspects no one at present and no clue has been discovered that would be of any assistance in spotting the guilty party. T he work was unquestionably dene by some one who is familiar with the interior arr*ogernects of the store, a&<3 who had been careful to locate before hind the exact position of the bar. The hole; werej bored in exactly the right places, ana this could not have been d m e entirely by guess work. We hope that an cf-, fort will bs made to fix the guilt where I it belonsrs.

Nearly all of our sister (owns are reveling in the lux*ry?of water works md electric light?,, bat a? yet no active steps are being taken here to introluce similar improvements. The citizens of Wiimsbjro generally succeed in accomplishing what thpy nnderfcake, and there is no reason tvhy they shou'du': k:ep pace with ;he times in the matter of lights and tva'er supply. T.e experience of )ther cities ha? proven conclusively ;hat plants for lighting the streets and residences by electricity, and for famishing an adequate water supply :an be erected at a very moderate ;ost. Ihese enterprises have gotten jeyond the experimental s age, and ;here seems to be no satisfactory eason now why some concerted action should not be taken to give Winnsboro ;hese conveniences. This matter has jeeu discussed by the town council, jut the members of that body can do aothing without the support of the )rope;ty owners and citizens gene ally. If the spirit of progressivencss ,hat piompted the building of the cot;on mill would as3ert itself further, Winnsboro would, before very lung, )ccupy the position among the towns >f the state that is rightfully hers.

We all know that any tired muscle can be restored by rest. Your stomach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its manner of saying "I am tired. Give me resi." io rest tut; stuuiucii yvu must i do its work outside of the body. This is the Shaker's method of curing indigestion, and its success is best attested by the fact that these people are practically free from what is without doubt the most prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains digested food which is promptly absorbed without taxing the tired digestive organ?, but it is likewise an aid to the digestion of other foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bottle will convince you of its merit, and these you can obtain through all druggists. Laxol is the best medicine for children.
