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.

Aliens Leave This Country. j
New York, Nov. 15.?Immigrants
are becoming emigrants just now.
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.

MET A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Mr. Robert King, of Fairfax, Killed at
Lumber Mill.
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

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."

Fairey and bound Byrd over to the

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

A Misunderstood Jest. /
Lord Lytton when viceroy of India
was seated one day at dinner next to
a lady whose name was Birch and
who, though very good looking, was
not overintelligent. saia sne 10 ms
excellency:
"Are yon acquainted with any of the
Birches V
"Oh, yes!" replied Lord Lytton. "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.

HARD CAVERN TO EXPLORE.
"Purgatory," Near Worcester, Mass.,
Thwarts All Attempts.
"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

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.

ABU AM
SPLEEN AS A FOOD..
Not Only Edible, but Highly Nutritious
Declares Boston Physician.
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
