An ineffectual attempt was made
to rob the bank at Moxsville, N. C..

loose money before they were

At a meeting of the directors of
the Highland Park Manufacturing

the $450,000 cotton mill on the
Wadsworth-Pegrani farm, two
miles north of the city. The site
of the big plant will be the present

Agreed to vacate the shed
if the corporation would, agree to
undertake the erection, within
nine months, of a plant to- cost
approximately $100,000. At their
meeting yesterday the directors
formerly decided to accept the offer

Mr. C. W. Johnson, the secretary
and treasurer of the Highland
Park Company, informed an Observer

the solid South of recent years
will have IT> 1 votes in the electoral
college of 1001. This leaves out
Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia, which have been carried
by the Republicans in most of the
recoilt canvasses. A majority of
the electoral collect' of 1004 will

have 1!>0 votes, or only 49 short of :
the number required to choose a
president. New Jersey, Conner- J

New York. Maryland is far from
being sure for the Itepuclieans.
The nnti-Adilicks Republicans

could lose either Delaware or Ne- j

"Dutch" Howard, Thomas No- ,

McKinley, the four men rece itly
arrested in Columbia on the
charge of having robbed various ,
postoHices, had a preliminary j j
trial last week. The hearing was
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I
as the result of it the United (
States commissioner decided that :j
the four men should be held on J

be tried at the next term of the
United States district court which ,
convenes in Charleston in April. (
The postotfice inspectors who j
worked up the case had a pood
deal of circumstantial evidence ,
ngainst the men in the shape of ]
burglar tools, large sums of money
and various suspicious articles
found in their possession. To the |
postoffrce inspector, who interviewed
each of the men separately,
Howard claimed that he was employed
in Grant's restaurant at a
salary of $25 per month, but that
he was able to live well because he
had been sent $2,800 last summer.
Dugan asserted that lie is an A us- |
tralian by birth, but has been before
the mast for several years and
now lives as much in Alexandria,
Vs., as at. any other point. lie

by trade. Nolan, a New Yorker,
came to Columbin about fair week,
having about $IKH) with him. He
bad played in several gambling
houses being a card sharp by profession.
At one time he had
dropped $7l>0 in a game in a local
urnmbliug house in one night. i
McKinley told the inspector that
his home was in Covington, Ky.,
and that he met Dugau at Alexandria,
and came to Columbia
with him. When he went to
Charleston he slept in a box car.
(When the inspector gave this
latter statement McKitdey appeared
abashed by the broad
smiles of the other three men).
The inspector's further testimony
was minute in detail and covered
the most important facts of the
case dealing with the conditions
of the broken safes he inspected
in his search for evidence in the
several places.

Stolen Horse and Buggy Recovered
Mr. \Y. T. Hongland. who n
short while ago was so i jrtunale
as to win a nice suit of dollies in
Charlotte, was a little Ic.-h fortunate
on a trip to the "dam" on the
nigli 1 of t lie 'J 11 It ultimo.
Mr. Iloaglaud had driven one of i
his I test teams to the dam anil had
entered tin? house of a friend, leaving
his horse hitched to a fence
near the house. He remained in
the house only a short while, hut
on coming out, discovered that his
team win missing. Thinning that
Home one had played a jok?j on him
by removing the horse, he made j
n thorough search of the premises j
hut failed to iiud his team. On
the following morning Mr. Hong- j
land phoned to the officers of all j
the nearby towns to look tint f ?r i
the team, giving a description of
the horse and vehicle. Nothing
was heard of the stolen team until ;
last Thursday, when Mr. Hoaglaiul ,
got a message from Chester s ating ,
that a stay horse had been found
on the roadside near that place.
Descriptions of the lost and found
tallied exactly, except for the bug- !
gy, which was considerably wreck- j
ed. Mr. Hoagland sent a colored 1
man to Chester Fridav and lie re. 1
turned late in the afternoon with
the horse, tlnj buggy being ho b?ul- .
ly broken that it could not be removed.
Tho owner of the team i
3avs he has a pretty good clue as .
to who the rogues were.

The Worlds Fair at St. Louis.
?
The Worlds Fair at St. Louis :
will be approximately twice as
large as any former international:
exposition.
The Centennial Exposition at ;
Philadelphia covered 230 acres, the
Paris Exposition, 33b acres, the I
Polumbiau Exposition at Chicago,
>33 acres. The World's Fair at '
St. Louis will cover 1180acres.
The estimated construction cost
:>f the St. Louis World's Fair is
130,000,000, and its total costs will
be upwards of $40,000,000 by the j
time the work is coinp.eteil. Be- ;
fore the Exposition gates are open, ;
Ihe city of St. Louis will have ex- J
ponded the enormorous sum of j
$20,000,000. t)f this iinmnnt
1)00.000 was appropriated for the
Kail* through tlio Municipal As- j
sembly. Citizens of St. Louis
raised J5.000.000 addiionnl by j
private subscription. By popular |
vote at a psecial election the Char ,
ter - Amendments were carried,
which will enable the city to expend
$10,000.0 '0 for street paving

The Confederate Bazaar.
The United Daughters of the
Confederacy, assisted by the Con- i
Federated Southern Memorial As- ,
aiciat ions, will in April hold a|
Bazaar for the benelit of the Jef- j
Fr rson Davis Memorial Arch, and I
For the Confederate Museum,
which is now established in the ,
mansion in which President Divis ;
resided durbar the war. Tliev
C-? J
therefore ask the help of every
man, woman and child, in order
that the entire South may share j
in the honor. It is befitting that |
to the dauntless chieftain and his
heroic followers those two monuments
ho raised iu the Capital of
the Confederacy, the one spot
which can never lose its identity
with the cause for which they
stru^jiled and died.

wish io contribute articles to the i
bazaar will kindly send them to I
Mrs. J. B. Mack, vice-president of
the South Carolina Memorial Association,
who will promptly forward
them to Richmond.
A Striking Contrast.
From McKinley to Roosevelt!
What chances within sixteen short ,
months! WhatH crime that which
Czolgosz committed when he took
away from ua such a president
and put upon uk such another.
Surely, no assassin's bullet ever
wrought so much havoc. MKcinley?respected
even by his political I
enemies; beloved by millions, white
and black; the friend and benefactor
of the negro and yet a Caucasian
in all his instincts; a gentle,
high-minded, noble man, the president
of all the people; the healer j
of sectional wounds-the ''peacemaker"
blessed by all. Roosevelt?
respecter of no one and respected
by few; "high-plane" politician
with the mask torn off; olevated
to high position by good luck, good
bluff and an Anarchist's bullet;
rough rider, dead shot and allaround
athlete, raised out of his
element, a cowboy steering the ship
of State. Surely, if Czolgosz could
have weighed the consequences of
his rash act his cruel heart would
have relented, and he would have
been gipltless of the double crime
of a President's murder and his
country's humiliation.? Atlanta

took up the trail and
the fugitives were run down after
a chase of about five miles.
Hardly had these men been securely
jailed before a runner came ,
with the news that two more men
of like appearance and suspicions
