!;,'us^ ,n th*' t'arolinas. told police
* ' l"day they were held up by two
" 'known men who captured their
^ee'-lined money truck and escaped
with $(>4,000 in cash and securities.
Hie men, Carl ?. Ituil^y, guard for
he bunk for the last Ave years, and
I , "y " Stanton, for ten years bank
vlerk and messenger, said they were
[orced to drive the money truck to
the edge of the city, where the robi
hers left them tied in the machine
and escaped^ with the money.
Torrence K. Hemby, vice president
the bank, said the institution was
fully protected from loss through
hold-up and robbery insurance umounting
to $125,000.
1 he truck was parked in front of
an express office, Ix>roy Stanton said,
With the latter in the office and Bailey
standing guard over the* truck.
Bailey said a .stronger approached
him and asked for a match. When
he reached into hi# pocket to comply
with his request, he sjiid', another
man stepped up and both leveled automatic
pistols at his ribs. One of
the men, he said, took his pistol from
its holster.
The men ordered him to keep quiet
or they would "blow his brains out,"
Bailey said, und asked how much was
in the truck. Bailey said he told
them it had all been unloaded in the
express office but the ruse did not
work.
Bailey said he was then ordered to
take the wheel of the truck, and
while one man guarded him, the other
pushed his wuy into the small
doorway to the strong box of the
truck and held a pistol on the back
of his head.
When Stanton came out of the express
office, Bailey said, the man on
the curb informed him hetjwas "going
to ride" with them. Stanton pushed
the man aside, Bailey said, but he
then warned his fellow employe they
both were being covered by the man
in the truck's strong box,
Bailey said he was forced to drive
the truck to the outskirts of the city,
where he and Stanton were tied and
shoved into the small strong box in
the truck. The robbers took flight,
Bailey said, before he and Stanton
could unloose their bonds, but while
they were* working with the knots-;
inside the closed compartment, they
did not hear an automobile pass nor
could they say how the men made
their getaway. '
j Wounds Self With Knife
On last Monday morning while
Hartsell Robinson was splitting a
piece of leather with a pocket knife
which he wished to use in the repair
of.-}, harness, the knjfe accidentally
slipped and inflicted a very dangerous
wound in one of his legs, narrow-"
ly missing a main artery. He stauched
the flow of blood until Dr. L. T.
Gregory was summoned from Kershaw,
who arrested the flow of blood
with a torniquet until he could be taken
to the hospital in Camden for
further treatment. Upon examination
at the hospital it was found that
the main artery'had not been penetrated
but that the wound was dangerously
near it. Following the operation
of connecting the cut artery
Mr. Robin&on is doing as well as
could be expected. He was taken to
the hospital by Game Warden F. L.
Munn and B. H. Coots. His father,
L. F. Robinson, and sisters, Misses
Lula and Ottie Lee Robinson, have
visited him at the hospital.?Kershaw

fregro Ex-Senator" Dead.
Edgefield, Oct. 2.?Paris Simkins,
82-year-old negro man, died ?this
week, and with his going there is
broken another link with the bitte.reconstruction
era, when negroes
were elected to office and the South'
struggled to regain white supremacy.
Simkins was elected and served in
the South Carolina senate and was
one of the leaders of his race.
He was a lawyer by profession. Of
late years he has been a humble figure
about the town and conducted
himself in such a manner as to call
forth the good will of all who knew
him. He was one of the founders of
Macedonia church from which the funeral
serviqes were held.

was active against bootleggers, and
the sheriff expressed the belief that
this was possibly the cause of his
death. *

An inebriated individual flopped
into a seat in a hotel lobby beside
a clergyman.1 "Nysh day," he began.
"Yes, it is," said the clergyman, exercising
forbearance.
"Nysh hotel."
"Yes, I find it very comfortable."
"Will you have a drink ?" Ci
This was too much. The clergyman's
face sot severely and he intoned
sternly, "No, thank you. I don't
indulge." ~
"Shay, whattya givin' us, feller,
you're drunk now. You gotsha collar
on backwards," the drunk replied.

a proposal for the Rotary club to organize
an auxiliary for the fire department.
For 400 years, up till five
