The Orangeburg Times-Democrat denounces the vote of the house giving to , the members of congress $100,000 mileage for the extra session of 1903 as "stealing pure and simple." The editor in his in- j nocence says: "We have not seen the vote on^the steal, but we feel satisfied c .. . that no member from this State voted for it." If the editor had read his valuable exchange, the Congressional Record, he would have ascertained that Aiken and Xegare voted for the mileage amendment; Finlev and Lever, against it; Croft was ? * paired with Burleigh, and Johnson with I Lilley.

Spartanburg, March 15.?The most daring robbery recorded in the city's hisi tory was the sandbagging of Mr. W. L. , Gowan and the rifling of his pockets of $15 by an unknown thief last night about 8.30 o'clock on North Liberty street, about a block from East Main. Mr. Gowan had started home from his green grocery, 61 East Main street, for the night, carry- j ing in his large leather purse three five dollar bills, along with some express receipts and other papers. He passed a pedestrian, a tall man enveloped in a long black overcoat, who appeared in the act of tying bisj shoestring. Just as he walked by Mr.'Gowan received a blow in the back of the head, which felled him and rendered him unconscious, during which time the highwayman "went through" his pockets. A little negro boy reported to the police that a man was lying dead on North Liberty street, and when the officers arrived Mr. Gowan had regained consciousness, and was lying on the sidewalk, with his head resting against a telephone post. There was a large knot raised on his head, about the base of the ? brain; but he was not seriously injured, t Further down the street the purse, the papers and receipts were found, scattered '* about. The police nave Deen wonting ou the case; but so far, there have been no developments. STARTLING MORTALITY. Statistics shows startling mortality, from appendicits and peritonitis. To pre* vent and cure these diseases, there is one reliable remedy, Dr. King's New Life Pills. M. Flannery, of 14 Custom House Place, Chicago, says: "They have no equal for constipation and biliousness." 25c at all druggists in Bamberg; Felder & Matthews, Denmark, S. C. t t 9 Horses! I Come Where Where the P 4NK E MR. EVANS SHOWS FIGHT. The Chairman of the Board of Control of the Dispensary Determines to Put a Stop to "Newspapers Making Unwarranted and Improper Slurs About Him and the Dispensary or Have the Proof Produced." Columbia, March 14.?Chairman H. H. Evans, of the State board of control, said tonight that he was sick and tired of newspapers making unwarranted and improper slurs about him and the dispensary and he was going to see if there was any way to stop it or have the proof produced. He" says that he asked his counsel, Mr. William Elliott, Jr., to bring both criminal and civil action against the New Sentinel, of Barnwell, and its editor, G. j Marshall Moore, and he is going to press the case or have the proper explanations made. Some time ago this article appeared in the Barnwell New Sentinel, and it is preenmahlv on this that Chairman Evans j wishes bis attorney to bring a suit or have j full retractions made. Said the Sentinel: "Is Evans to rule South Carolina with a salary of $400, when many a poor devil I with $600 or $700 has to scratch for huu- j grv mouths? Ye economists, if ye will,. tell us how a man can give box "parties, keep daughters at college and be drawn around the streets of Rock Hill in a coach and pair on the pitiful sum of $400 per annum. There is something rotten in the State of South Carolina, and it reeks from Columbia to Barnwell." Mr. Evans says that if the editor had inquired in Newberry he would have learned that there is money to be made c-iirtooccfnl fnrmino- and that he was I ILL OUV/UV?k7iU4 i?? holding cotton and corn, as good farmers are doing. He said he had a bundle of letters from friends and others asking him to run for Governor, but he had not decided to do so, but had the matter under consideration. His family did not wish him to enter the race and he was afraid of the expense.? News and Courier. VERY LOW EXCURSION RATES. Via Southern Railway to the Following Points.

Congressman Mudd, of Maryland, tells of a baptism in a village in the back belt of that State. "What is the name?" ask the minister of tne child's father. "John James George Washington Fitzhugh Lee Blaine Harrison Smith," answered the father. The old minister jotted down the names, and, then, walking to the baptismal front a crockery washbasin, said to the janitor; "Mose, get some more water.

A Scheme That For a Time Was a , Success In Xew York. Several years ago a one legged youth named Kempton, "who had left a comfortable home to engage deliberately in begging, conceived the idea of organizing a community of interest among panhandlers in the Park row district, in New York. He picked out strategic spots throughout the city and selected o mnn tn ho"- in each. These men were C*. laiui fcv ^ -S. ?, always particularly well adapted to their posts?a blink (blind man) here, a crust thrower there, a maimed youth somewhere else. In order that the beggars might not be molested by the police a lookout was appointed for each, and in order that the syndicate's inter-1 ests might be conserved Kempton employed roundsmen to observe how faithfully the beggars attended to business and to collect hourly the earnings of each. In case of arrest each member of the band was assured of legal representation, to be paid for out of the earnings of the pool. The scheme thrived for many months, and at one time there were thirty men in the combination, which became a close corporation of profit and power. There is no knowing to what extent it might have expanded nor how influential it might have become at last had not the nature of the organization given it undue prominence ana causea. it to fall directly under the ban of the mendicant squad. One by one the members were captured and sent to the island, and in the end the gang was broken up.?Theodore Waters in Everybody's Magazine. AN ASPHALT LAKE. The Way the Staff la Mined and Prepared For Market. The largest South American asphalt lake,, in Venezuela, consists of a dark brownish deposit of semifluid and semisolid substance surrounded by banks from three to six feet high. In the center of this lake is a continual ejection of hot fluid asphalt, accompanied by large bubbles of gas. ' The dark skinned workmen excavate it in pieces weighing in the neighborhood of twenty-five pounds, sections forty feet in area and about four feet deep being worked at one time. As quickly.as freed from its surroundings It is placed in large xuus, rwsung ujaiu small flat" topped tram cars operated upon a narrow gauge road. The entire surface is constantly moving, thus necessitating a continual relaying of the tracks. /The freshly excavated asphalt is conveyed to the shore, where the tubs are lifted by hydraulic power to an aerial tramway, by which it is conveyed to the large wharf situated on the Guanero river, about five miles distant from the lake. Here it is weighed and dumped into vessels which convey it to. the foreign lands. Upon its arrival at a factory it is heated until the water is expelled and the earthy material cast to the bottom of the large vats, and it is poured through a sieve into barrels, where it solidifies. It is then ready for commerce.?New York Tribune. Virtne'a Quick Reward. "Nothing ever better illustrated to me," remarked the doctor, "the old adage, 'Virtue is its own reward,' than an experience I had the other day. Called for the first time to a pauenr who was desperately ill in addition to being penniless, I gave her $5 with which to purchase the necessities of life. The next morning I received a note from her not to call again. Later I learned she had called in a homeopathic physician, to whom she paid a fee of $2, and with the remainder of my charitable contribution she paid a monthly installment on a phonograph." ?New York Press.

Canon Liddon wrote this in his diary concerning an incident of a holiday tour he took with his friend, Charles L. Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll: "Dodgson was overcome by the beauty of Cologne cathedral. I found him leaning against the rails of the choir and sobbing like a child. When the verger came to show us over the chapels he got out of the way. He said that he could not bear the harsh voice of the man in the presence of so much Eeantr."
