There are three things which |,
a good wife should resemble and |
yet those same three things she j
should not resemble. She should ,
be like a towu clock keep time (
and regularity; she should not, ,
however, be like u town uIcck iu ,
speaking so loedly that all the
town may hear her. Ske should he

A numerously signed petition:
from Greenville,protesting against
Senator Tillman's opposition to
the confirmation of Postmaster
Richardson at tbat place, and
urging that he use his influence
to expedite the hitter's confirmation
has been presented to him.
Senator Tillman said that he had
made up his mind some time ago
not te withdraw hia opposition to I
Postmaster Richardson, and that j
the petition would not chojige his ;
intention.
Senator Tillman alleges that Mr
Richardson's paper, the Greenville
News, has been unnecessarily
harsh and unfair in its criticisms of
himself as a Senator, and lie will
tight the nomination. It is not
probable the Senate will violate
precedent and over-ride Senator j
Tillman's objection.
For a like reason Internal Re-,

is in the same fix and it is j
not probable hia confirmation will j

Robbers Escaped.
Special to The State.
Hampton, March 25.?This
morning between 2.30 and 3
o'clock a most during burglary
was committed in the town of
Hampton. Safe crackers entered
the office of County Treasurer J.
C. Langford and succeeded in
demolishing the safe aud escaping
with the centents. They made
an entrance by breaking the lock
ou me uoor to the office, which is
in the court bouse. There were
only two in the party of burglars.
The safe was blown open by a
charge of uitro glycerine. The
hammer, drill and other tools was
in making the holo for the charge
wero tuken from the shop of Mr.
,1. I. Roberts after he left the
shop about 11.30 o'clock.
The explosion awakeued Clerk
of Court W. B. Causey, who
lives about 25 ? ards from the
court house. He ran out and saw
the burglars in the bright moonlight.
Realizing what had happened
be secured his shot gun and
using shells loaded with buckshot
gave chase, tiring ot them twice
at the range of about 100 yards.
He and Mr. W. T. .Johns,- who
was also awakened, gave the
alarm. A party wus formed hefore
day and with the assistance
of two bloodhounds begun u bunt
for lhe robbers, but their search
was futile, the dogs not being able
lo run the trail for any distance.
Treasurer Laagford. who lives '
it Brunson, was greatly chagrined
Lo tiud his safe demolished and the
window panes in his office ell
shattered this morning. The
burglars made their escape with
the contents ot the safe. It con[uined
about $200 in cash besides
jome checks on the Bank of Hauipton.

Texas, and Other Items.

them huck and transform a wild
unpopulated country into one of
the greatest and most productive
states in the union, hut, ten years
ago the tide of emigration rose
still higher and since that sixtyfive
families have landed at. Wills
Point from Lancaster and Chesterfield
counties, S. C\, and
I'nion county, N. C., and quite
a numbet have gone to other
places. A group of our Lan?aster
county friends have settled
six miles northeast of Wills Point.
If you will allow mo space in
your newsy columns. 1 will give
them and their surroundings a
brief mention. On the north side
of our settlement we huve our old
friend, P. B. Funderburk, who
bus an ideul huaie and is surrounded
with all the necessaries
and comforts of life. W. 0.
Funderburk is domiciled in a
good homo just one-half mile
dowa the road and is getting
along splendidly. Three hundred
yards further down we find T. \.
Funderburk, who by hard toil and
honest efforts has procured u neat
home and is getting fixed to enjoy
life. Within a few stonos
cast is .James L. Hair who bv his
shrewdness has made u success of
his undertakings and has get
comfortably fixed. Three bun*
died yards further is John S.
Funderburk, who has a nice
farm and ha9 the push and vita
that is necessary to make farming
a successful business. Just
in froat of his place is our old
reliable C. P. Knight wno has not
been in Texas long enough to
realise much of its advuutuges but
Cicoro know*. a good thing when
he sees it. He has un elegant
home, well located, and is farming
quite different to what he did
in former days. In addition to
those mentioned we have Fred
Funderburk, John Hair aod
Barnes Starnea for our neighbors.
They have just begun to fight the
battles of life for themselves and
as they ai e worthy and energetic
young men wo bespeak for them
success.
The tetul worth of the first six !
mentioned when they first set their
feet on Texas soil was $2,200.
They now own property clear of
debt to the amount $12,000,
showing an increase of $0,800 m
less than ten years. All this was
made by farming apd not by
speculating. And bow some of |
tir old friends think we would
come back to our old homes if we
only could procure the means to
do so. My ! My ! We are the
best contented set of farmers ybit
ever saw. At this season of the
year when we are preparing our
land and planting ourerops, without
the use of commercial fertilizer,
our mind runs buck to our
old homo and our boyhood days
when we were oppressed by the
heavy fertilizer account, und our
physical strength was so worried
in distributing the surue over our
tields, and the crops perhaps
mortguged.topay for this nuisance.
We are made to sympathize with
jur more unfortunate friends who
