gun yesterday. The job will not (
be completed until the end of the;
week, although several large mo- j
tor Vans are engaged in the work, j
- About $10,000,000 is in silver,
it was started yesterday by Robert
G. Hilton, United States subtreasurer.
and this represents by far
* the greater part of the bulk to be
mov&i It weighs more than 250
tons. Eaeh of the 10.000 sacks,
containing $1,000, weighs 60
|y - pounds, and yesterday only 1.000
of these? sacks were taken away,
b Gold win will be moved after the
silver has been disposed of.
? Four men accompanied each
s& . j- van or truck, all of which were
/>nv<arf>d ?nd the contents hidden.
V These vans jvcre backed into the j
narrow area way to the west of
" the custom house, loaded from
T ' small trucks, each carrying about
gv 60 bags.
A number of laborers were enI
gaged for this work, guarded by
- men of the staff of H. P. Huddlel
son, a representative of the sec '
retary of thje treasury, who iis
here to supervise the removal.
These men stood around and I
watched .carefully every move-!
Ill ment. There was no display of
j| firearms, although it is under^
that the guards are well
equipped to handle an emergency.
\ On the vans two men sat in
front and two inside. Across the
knees of the latter were short j
?? ' guns, which looked like sawed-off |
rifles. . I j
The removal, of the coin from
"the subtreasury is preparatory

Bennettsville Advocate.
Unconsciously the editor of
The Advocate lias laid the foundation
for prosperity this year, if
the belief of some people in Union
county. N. (/., is correct. We
found a dish of peas on our dinner
table on January 1st. which
happened to be the editor's fiftipth
hirt.hdav. As this was a fav
orite dish, we neglected most of
the chicken and other ?ood things,
which an editor may b< pardoned
for having every .fiftieth birthday,
and ate heartily of the peas.
We were informed that the peas
would not have appeared on the 0
table had not the cook, without r
authority, prepared them because C
she said it was a custom where i
she came from to always have .
peas 011 the first day of January ^
to give good luck and prosperity '
during the vear. This added to
* , ]
the enjovmenut of the peas, and j
npw we are further reassured by

Charlotte Observer :
The Monroe 'Journal makes j;
note of the fact that most Union
county people had cow peas for
dinner on New Year's day. It
declares that /'there were few
tables minus a dish of peas" that
day; and the' explanation seems
to be located in a superstition
that has obtained in the county for t:
many years. To have pers for
dinner, according to local belief. r
is guarantee of all kjnds of good 11
fortune to the family during the a
year. Some of the Union county
folk believe that for every peajr
eaten a dollar will be saved before
the next New Year, and this u
probably accounts, for the second
