YEOUMEN DYNAMITE A DEPOT. Sheriff Shot by Robbers-Safe Dyna mited and Station Wrecked. Asheville, N. C., July iO.-The station at the Carolina, Cllnchfleld & Ohio railroad at Marlon Junction, X. C., was dynamited early ?bis morn ing and practically wrecked, the Iron safe having been demolished, the windows blown out and Hie roof torn off. Only $4 was in tin? safe at the time and this was taken by the robbers, supposedly three men. The wreckers placed dynamite on top of the safe and blew a bob* In lt. Killing tho hole afterward with dy namite, they blow the safe open and incidentally wrecked the station. Sheriff Mashburn, of Marion, coun ty seat of McDowell, started in pur suit of the robbers willi blood hounds, but they eluded the pursuit, coming in the direction of Abbeville. To-night when Xo. 7">, a Southern freight train, pulled into Old Kort, N. C., three men were seen to alight. The sheriff, who had come to Old Kort in pursuit, attempted to talk with the men when one of them ran and commenced tiring. Sheriff Mash burn was struck in the ankle and painfully injured. A posse of citi zens of Old Kort took up pursuit and one of the posse, a carrier boy, name unknown, was shot in the arm. The robbers escaped to the mountains, followed by almost the entire male population of the little village. Sheriff Mashburn was taken to his home at. Marlon for medical treat ment, and several of 'his deputies sent to Old Kort, where they will ar rive at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning to take up\an organized search for the desperadoes. CA Hit IE HS RECEIVE INCREASE. There Are More Than 40,000 In Hu ral Delivery Service. Washington. July 9.-Tho 40.000 odd rural free delivery carriers In the United States are to receive sal ary Increases as a result of an order issued yesterday by Post master Gen eral Hitchcock. The order provides for the disbursement during the cur rent fiscal year ol $4,000,000, which will mean an Increase of $100 over the present salary ol' $1)00 for all car riers on standard routes, with pro portionate increases on the i borter roules. Congress provided last session for the expenditure of this extra $4,000, 000. but left il to the discretion of the postmaster general as to how much of it should be expended. Mr. Hitchcock decided to-day to author ize tho expenditure of the full amount. His desire to compensate tho car riers for any additional burden which may be placed on them If the parcel post system he has recom mended for rural routes ls approved by Congress, was the important con sideration, Mr. Hitchcock declared to-day, which led him to make the authot izatlon. Tue rural delivery system was started fifteen years ago with 83 carriers, who were paid only $200 a year. On July I there were 4 1, f>C>2 carriers, their aggregate salaries being $35,703,000.

Miss Alex ander's body was recovered two hours later. l l E purpose in erecting a mon umcnt is to perpetuate the sacred memory of loved ones that have passed into eternal rest. That monument, then. should be the best; one that will stand thc test of time and not rr.uk or rot away, at the same time sparkling with beauty anti replete with dignity. If it is carved from WINNSBORO BLUE GRANITE ?The SUk ol the Trade" it will stand for aeons and aeons thc end of time will lind it as beau? tiful and unbroken as the day it was set Winnsboro Blue Granite will not crack or smut; its contrast when lettered renders the inscrip tion plain and readable from a dis tance. In selecting a monument, specify Winnsboro Blue Granite. FOR SALB BY * C. E. GRAY, Westminster. THF, HEAT WAVE CONTINUES. | Now York, Hoston, Chicago and Washington SHU Swelter.
