Col. Thos. F. Brantley, a meinb
of the Blease winding-up commi
sion, has announced his candidal
for the house of representatives fro
Orangeburg county. It strikes 1
that he would be a good man to lea1

S. Evans went to work to raise ca]
tal for erecting another cotton m
at Greenwood. He organized t
company and was made preside]
but a few months ago, before t
mill was ready to run, Mr. Evans i
signed and S. H. McGhee was elect
president. Mr. McGhee has go
ahead and finished the plant and t
mill is now running. We know th

high finance flourishes, and we are
little curious to know how it
came about. Mr. Evans, who by t
way, had been with the Southe
Cotton Oil Company for a number
years, resigned his position to acc
the presidency of the cotton mill, a
now he is out of a job but runni
for congress.

[al Mr. Hill was at the grist mill grind>le
ing corn for a neighbor and, as he a:
st~ thought the mill was not running, he vi
a.;' stuck his hand up the mouth of the pi
is' hopper, from which the meal leaves m

between the rocks. They were $
3r_ ground up badly and it was only by tr
id- a terrific force that he managed to
by pull his arm out. The sinews in the o<
^ arm were literally pulled out and he tl
iaj suffered agonies until Dr. D. H. al

cuffed, prisoner, despite the fact that
he told Governor O'Neal, of Alabama. la
that he would shoot him dead in his
" office at the capital if he had the nc
temerity to issue requisition papers. Pc
Governor O'Neal decided he would *r
1 take a chance and signed the papers is
right under Powers' nose. Powers ^
' is the picturesque outlaw who re- Pc

mountains around Vincent in a cons
tinued state of terror. eE
Powers went always armed, and *e
has had several hairsbreadth escapes. ri;
Once private detectives got the drop Sr
a_ on him and were ready to take him to
es Birmingham, when he asked permission
to put on a clean collar. Hand- p,
re cuffed as he was the officers never
thought of danger and granted the
I request. Powers got a revolver out
' of the bureau drawer instead of the ly
clean linen, and holding it in both in
his handcuffed hands got the drop on M

ed tion to others who dislike to receive n

THE BENEFICIENT BURGLAR.
nnual Business of $45,000,000 Depends
Entirely on Him.
"Give the burglar a term in the pen
entiary or shoot him if you will, but
>r conscience's sake don't reform
im!" says Clifford Howard in Lipincott's.
"We need him in our
usiness. He is worth to us every
ay of the year tenfold more than he
rer costs us.
"Look at the matter wholly from
a industrial and economic point of
iew, we can better do without the
reacher than the burglar. Extermiate
the burglar and 70,000 persons
ould be out of work, and more than
45,000,000 a year withdrawn fjom
ade.
"There are alone no less than 25,00
good American citizens earning
leir livelihood as private watchmen,
t a combined salary of something
ke $17,000,000 a year. And all beluse
of the burglar.
"More than $1,000,000 in capital
invested in the manufacture of
irglar alarms of different devices,
id either directly or indirectly fully
000 law abiding family men are dejndent
for their daily bread upon
lis branch of industry.
"And there are forty manufactures
of safes?burglar proof safes?
ith a combined capital of $6,000,)0,
paying out each year for wages
id material nearly $4,000,000, and
ving support to no less than 4,000
orkers?mechanics, laborers, clerks
>okkeepers, salesmen, and so on.
"What would become of these men
id women and all the millions of
vested capital should the burglar
" i-on vnir?#> of Moses and
n^u w
lit his stealing?
"Then there are the makers and
llers of firearms. Five hundred
lousand guns a year are sold for
mily use as a protection against
lrglars, representing a gross revele
of something like $3,500,000.
'ithout the burglar what would this
isiness look like? Like the centre
: a doughnut.
"And those families that are afraid
: pistols keep dogs, watchdogs, and
ie trade in watchdogs amounts each
jar to over a million dollars. Ail
ie watchdogs of the United States
J,500,000vof them) have to be fed
; least twice a day. At only 2 cents
ir diem for bones and scraps for
Lch dog the income to the butcher
om this sourc^ alone, thanks be to
Le burglar, amounts to $17,000,000
year.
"Even our recreations and amuseents
are dependent upon the burgr.
What would our comedies and
elodramas be without the burglar?
nd the detective stories?what
ould become of them and their auors
and their publishers were the
irglar no longer available as a
lorartpr? The Dlays and the books
which he figures have an annual
mmercial value of nothing less than
million dollars, and this without
tempting to estimate the value of
e pleasure afforded the public.
"In short, we must have the burgr.
We can't do without him. We
ive had him so long that there is
)body to take his place. And sup>se
his helpings' do amount to a
ifle over a million a year? What
that compared with the $45,000,)0
he is sure of putting into our
>ckets? Surely none but a skinnt
will begrudge him this little 2
2 per cent, dividend on a business
at owes its existence solely to his
lergy and perseverance. Therefore
t the burglar alone. He is all
ght; and may his shadow never
ow less."
