/ SENECA POSTOFFICE ROBBED. ' Three Hundred in Cash and Eight Hundred in Stamps Stolen. Seneca, Nov. 15.-At an early hour this morning robbers forced an entrance into the postoffice, blew open the iron safe, securing about $300 in cash, and stamps to the amount of $800. Four suspects are under arrest. Something like $600 or $800 belonging to the registry department was overlooked, also some jewelry. A lot of notes belonging to the postmaster were also taken. The men under arrest claim to be advance agents for the carnival company. The night watchman was off duty at the time, it being his time tn cm r>ff at. rt a. m. e>~ ? Tribute of Respect.

More than 5,000 men of alien birth who have been working in this coun- i try have just sailed from this port for < their native shores, aboard three : liners, the Amerika of the Hamburg- 1 ; American line, the Pannonia of the Canard line and La Touraine of the 1 French line. This remarkable exodus, 1 according to the steamship agents, < is due chiefly to the closing down of 1 mills and factories. More than 4,- I 000 Hungarians, Poles and Bohe- i mians wanted to sail by the Amerika, i but her steerage (capacity is only 2, 000, hence about 2,000 were left be- : hind. But these latter will sail by 1 the steamer President Grant tomor row. Besides this 2,000, the ^resident Grant will carry 1,000 immigrants previously booked. The Pannonia was obliged to leave behind a few hundred Italians, but these will ] getaway, j The general passenger agent of i:' ; the Hamburg-American said that the outgo of foreigners was three, ] times that of November of last year. A small proportion of these can be , accounted for by those who wish to ! visit their homes in Europe, but the vast majority return on account of . factories closing down. The emi- j grants took away with them consider- , able American money. One steam- ; ship agent estimated that the average savings of each passenger could not be less than $200. To Cure Hams. If you want good, sweet meat try : this way. After cutting up your hams < let them lie until next day. Use a clean cask to put them in. Pour < water enough on to cover well, then < " ^ - A? ?J a raw on Uie water aim auu r , ' molasses unlil it it is pleasant to drink. Dissolve in a little hot water one ounce saltpeter for every twenty pounds of meat and add to it. Then carefully add fine salt and stir until dissolved. When a potato as large as an egg will float in it, pour it on the meat. Keep it in a cool place from eight to twelve weeks, then remove from the pickle and lay the rind side down for four days to dry. Hang in an open smokehouse and make a smoke of hickory or maple once or twice a day for a week, and; after that once a day for ten days. We have found March to be the best month to cure hams with smoke. Hams cured in this way will keep for a year or longer.?American Farmer. Too riuch Headache Hedicine. Spartanburg, Nov. 16. ? Miss Morgan, a popular young telephone operator at the Spartanburg exchange, was critically ill yesterday from an overdose of headache medicine which she took to relieve a severe headache. Her respiration and heart action were seriously affected, and at one time grave fears were entertained for her recovery. A physician was hastily summoned, and after hard work with the patient for some time she was revived. Train Crew Put in Jail. Tuscumbia, Ala., Nov. 15.?At Iuka, Miss., Conductor Mars and Engineer Armstrong and the entire crew of a freight train on the Southern railway were arrested and held in jail nine hours because the train ran over and killed Walter McKinney, a well-known citizen of Iuka. Division Superintendent Heather went to Iuka and secured the release of the trainmen. McKinney was struck by the engine as the train was passing through the town.

Allendale, November 14.?Ahorrible accident occurred at about 11 o'clock to-day at the Brown Lumber Company, situated at Ulmer's, which resulted in the death of Mr. Robert King, of Fairfax. . Mr. King while engaged in his work at the mill was caught in the line shafting. It was a matter of only a few minutes before he was beaten and torn in a terrible manner by the machinery. He lived only a few ?* - - ? xi minutes aner uie acciucm/. Work For Your Town. If you have made up your mind to live in a town, then stand up for it, and if you know positively no good, then silence is golden. Do all you can to help along every man who is engaged in legitimate business, Do not send away for everything nice you want and still expect the home men to keep a stock to suit the whim of one or two customers. The success of your fellow townsmen will be your success. No man liveth to himself and no man does business independently of his fellow business men. Take your home paper. Do not imagine the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many little crevices of a good cheer, social sunshine, personal mention, in the home paper that the big fdailes do not print. Then do not abuse your neighbor. The main difference in the number of his faults and your own is that you see through a magnifying glassias a critic. The ill omened,fthetcroaker, can do a town more harm in a minute than two good citizens can repair in a month.?Fort Mill Times. Oil mils Overstocked With Seed. Mr. B. F. Taylor, chairman of the publicty bureau of the Inter-State cotton seed crushers' association, stated today that 85 cotton seed oil mills in this state report the amount of cotton seed in the mills to November 1st as being 1,000 tons per mill. The total amount of seed crushed by these mills for the whole of last season was 211,000 tons. "This indicates," said Mr. Taylor, "that the farmers know when to sell their cotton seed." The price has declined in South Carolina from $24 per ton to $13 per ton, during last month. This was due almost entirely to financial conditions, but to some extent also, to large receipts at the mills. "Fortunately," said Mr. Taylor, "most of these mills have sold the oil as they made it andin many instances received as high as 43 cents per gallon for the crude oil. The price now is 23 cents." ?Columbia Record. Will Accept Nomination. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 14.?William Jennings Bryan will accept the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 1908 but will neither ask for nor make a fight for it. He says for a year or more he has been pressed to answer the question: "Will you accept the nomination" and believes the public is entitled to an answer and to know his position. "The question that ought to weigh most" he says, "is whether his nomination will strengthen the democratic party more than the nomination of snme one else." Not only will he not seek or ask for the nomination, but he will not assame to decide the questions of availability and if the prize falls to another he will be neither disappointed nor disgruntled. At the same time he denies that he has waited this long in a desire to see whom the Republicans are likely to nominate, or to ascertain the chances of victory. Wives Scarce in Panama. New York, Nov. 15?Any woman who wants to get married has only to go to Panama, according to Miss Helen Varick Boswell, who recently returned from that land of matrimonial opportunity, after having organized on behalf of the secretary of war, a canal zone federation of women's clubs. "You may not think it." Miss Boswell said, in talking to the women's republican club at Delmonico's yesterday, "but no woman need remain unmarried in Panama. The activities of Cupid on the isthmus are tremendous. There are scores of lonely bachelors, all longing, no doubt, for the comforts of a home, and so the place is a great matrimonial market. Miss Boswell also gave some interesting glimpses of unofficial life at Panama. Of the class distinctions she said: "There are the official ladies and the clerical ladies and the steam-shovel ladies. The clerical ladies don't care to know the steam-shovel ladies, and the official ladies feel that their position is much superior to that of the clerical ladies. That is why it needed an outsider to organize a woman's club. There are women on the isthmus who could have done the work just as well as I did, but they could not innocently mix with all classes and appear not to know that they existed." Will Stand Trial. The case against Murray Fairey and J. D. Byrd, of Branchville, charged with violating the dispensary law, came up before Judge C. P. Brunson on Friday on a preliminary examination. After hearing the case, Judge Brunson discharged Fairey and bound Byrd over to the court of general sessions, which convenes in January. The bond was fixed at two hundred dollars, which was given.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. , | An Expensive Rug. If you are a steady smoker don't throw away your old tobacco bags. By saving them until he had a trunkful a resident of Sixty-second street got busy with a needle and made one of the oddest rugs one would find in a day's walk. Of course this economical genius is an incessant smoker. Often he smoked two bags of tobacco in a day. Then, too, he changed his brand often and in this way got a more highly colored assortment. He told his friends about the rug he had in mind, and they got busy collecting. As a result Mr. Smoker got a big crop each week. In less than six months he had gathered 108 square feet of tobacco bags, which was a nice 9 by 12 rug He used a piece of thick flannel as a foundation and sewed the bags to it each night on returning from work. On several occasions some or rue ieilows from the office helped him do the "sewing." It was interesting work. For some unknown reason many of the helpers sewed the bags on backward, but all were finally straightened out, and when the rug was finally laid there was a little celebration in th? genius' room. Now as he looks at the rug in silence he prides himself upon his economy. And yet the refreshments that he supplied to keep the workers in good humor and on the night of the "rug laying" cost him $24.50.?Philadelphia Record. The First Teacups. Even after tea was introduced Into Europe and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced; dui, apart uum Constantinople, the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 1645 in Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in London and 1694 in Leipslc. From the first, however, the conventional orien tal coffee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and in Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Specimens of porcelain were undoubtedly introduced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth century were cups imported from China in any great quantities, and even then it was as articles of vertu. Most of those i found their way back into Chin^ again, as collecting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices are paid for good specimens. The collection of Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires immense study and knowledge, as the j Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifications on the market Society Music.

"1 knew several of them most intimately while at Eton?indeed, more intimately than I cared to." "My lord," replied the lady, "you forget the Birches are relatives of mine." "And they cut me," said the viceroy, "but," and he smiled his wonted smile, "I have never felt more inclined to kiss the rod than I do now." Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see the point and told her husband his excellency had insulted her. A Dumas Story.

"Purgatory," a cave only a few miles from Worcester, Mass., many of whose mysterious bypaths have yet to be explored, Is now attracting the attention of scientists all over New England because of the failure of Miss Lucia B. Thomson of Boston, a well known mountain climber, to penetrate the cavern, says a Worcester dispatch to the New York Tribune. No one has yet had the courage to penetrate the farthest depths of the cave, and such an attempt is admittedly fraught with danger, for at its bottom is an unexplored subterranean lake or river. There are scarcely three months In the year in which it is possible to enter the cavern. Miss Thomson, who has climbed the highest peaks of the Pacific coast ranges, gave up the attempt after climbing in the antechambers several hours. Though she has climbed Mount Whitney, she says she never encountered a more difficult task than the cavern. Miss Annie Peck of Providence, a well known European climber, will try to explore the cave. 8treet Car Buzzer. An ingenious device has been Invented by an employee of the street railway in an American city and Is being tested- Whenever a passenger stands on the lower step a buzzer sounds in the motorman's compartment and warns him not to start the car until the signal ceases, which It does the Instant the passenger reaches the platform or the ground. Contact points are placed In the step which are brought together by the weight of the passenger. Coyotes as Melon Patdh Raiders. Farmers in the box elder district about Greeley, Colo., have found their watermelon patches raided and suspected tramps or boys, says a Greeley correspondent of the New York Sun. The vlnee were trampled and dozens of melons broken, the hearts only being eaten. A watch was set, and the marauders were found to be coyotes, which dig holes in the melons and drink the Juice. No pumpkin patched were touched. Dispensaries Remain Open. Columbia, Nov. 16.?The supreme court today handed down a decision in the Kershaw dispensary election case, the effect of which is to permanently keep open the dipensaries, which on the face of the returns were voted out by a large majority. The county board of canvassers sustained the election, but the State board reversed. Now the supreme court sustains the State board. The election was protested on the ground of irregularities and the secrecy of tthe ballot. / ( ABHAM We have the Hats that 1 Just received a large them as cheap as anyt k large line of caps for fc The Crofut & I vFELTH^ i are the best yet.

Declaring that red blood corpuscles come from the spleen and also announcing that spleens are edible, Dr. Edward T. Williams, a graduate of Harvard Medical school, believes he has found the means of adding 50,000,000 pounds to the nation's annual meat supply, which should mean a saving of $5,000,000 a year, says a Boston special dispatch to the New York Herald. His discovery, he believes, makes it possible for the poor to obtain meat at a cost not exceeding 10 cents a pound. Dr. Williams was graduated from the Harvard Medical school In 1865 and several years ago gave up a profitable practice to engage in original research. In humble rooms in Dudley street, Boston, he has lived as a recluse, devoting his time to study and experimenting. Speaking of his work to one of the few persons who ever gained admittance to his quarters, he said: "In the work I have been carrying on I think the most Important discovery I have made is in regard to the spleen, for I have found that it is this organ which makes the red blood corpuscles. "While this may be"a matter of considerable interest to physicians and specialists, still what is of far greater Importance to tne average man or wvman la that I have discovered spleens are good to eat and extremely palatable when fresh. The average spleen contains three-quarters of a grain of Iron and one and one-half grains of phosphorus per ounce, which makes It the richest possible food and particularly valuable In all cases of Impoverished bloods or nervous debility. "The spleen is really the iron gland of the body and contains more phosphorus than any other organ, with the exception of the brain. I ate my first spleen about five years ago and found It quite palatable. The reason spleens have never become an article of commercial value In the beef Indus-1 try Is because they spoil so quickly. | There Is little use In placing them on i ice, for after a few hours they seem to disintegrate and fall apart and consequently are not marketable." Dr. Williams has found, however, that spleens can be kept like other ** tho Aihnmen in them Is first uicaw 11 n?v % ? coagulated by cooking, fie says he Is j . negotiating -with a sausage manufac- j turer to put spleen on the market put up like sausages. * I Some people of Pickens have petitioned Governor Ansel to call an extra session of the legislature, after agreement with the other cotton states, to adopt a stay law to prevent the collection of debts until some time in the future. , .v ; /.: : 4 . - & sons!
