A Bold Robbery. On Saturday eight last, Ben Mine, who lives at Linter, was in town on bia way home. He went down to the Coast Line depot to tako the Gibson train home. AH the train came up, two negroes came up to him and asked him to chungo fomo money. Ho pulled his purse from his pocket, containing he said $6 50, and Marted to make change when ono ol' them (matched the money, while the other put a pistol in his taco and told him In keep mum. Just then his train started, but, ns it floweil up at thc switch, he jumped off and came back to report the case and make search for the mon On Sunday morning ho eaw Chief* David, who Hcarchcd the town over. They were seen several time?, but managed finally to vet out of town-taking the roilroad for Cheraw, where they may bo caught. How to Raise Cotton. Mr. W. M. Dees of Parnassus has done as well raising cotton as any farmer in the county with the same amount of fertili zers and here is how ho worked it: On one acre he made 3408 pounds of seed cotton, "king" variety, planted April 28th, and on which he only put 800 lbs of C. S. Meal, 400 pounds of Acid, 100 pounds of Kainit, 100 pounds 8 33 fertilizer and four 2 horse loads stable manure broadcast. The cost of the gu anos was $13.22, Stable manure $4 n total $17 22. The price re ceived from the returns on the acre'amounted to $122 30. This certainly shows whether lamm ing pays or not. A Prayer Tho following prayer, hy Rob ert Louis Stevenson, is one of tho most beautiful in thc E?glish language; Tho day returns and bringa us the potty round of irritating con cerns and duties.

A large congregation ol course turned out and the church was packed. The Masons marched in a body and occupied the in the centre on the left. The subject of the presche dis course was "Love" which Iv said was the basic priuciplo of trtu ur - sonry-thc bright centro uround which circleallthe noble attributes of christian character.

It does this by first thoroughly cleansing the system of all impurities, allowing, perfect assimilation of food, thereby creating solid muscle and fat. Horses and mules improve in appetite and spirits after the first few doses, the hair sheds, and the new coat is always sleek and glossy. Ashcraft's Condition Powders are packed in doses, without "filler," and good for horses and mules only. It is a most powerful tonic and appetizer, being the rnnulas of a practical veterinarian of over a quarter of a century's xporience. It is easily the foremost remedy in its class on the rica^market to-day. Price 25 cents package. For sale by SMITH NEWTON, Bennettsville, S. C* MCCOLL DRUG CO., Mccoll, S.
