Some Suggestions to LevelHcndcd Farmers and Others?Something About Robbery Dangers. ltecently when a big robbery took place not far from here a man phoned to a bank and inquired if the banks would be responsible for stolen money. The bank answered yes of course. This illustrates that many people do not understand about banks. Laurens has four banks, all strong institutions. There is a lot of money in the country. There is a lot In these banks. There is also a lot outside. vaults are safe;. Every bank is provided with a ilrst class vault. Any bank is ten times as safe as a private house. The individual who keeps large sums in his pookets has neither the monoy safe or his life Bafe. Now and then in the country people are killed for their money. This rarely happens in town. In the banks here olectric lights burn all night. The vaults and safes can be seen from the street. The town is po liced. The man who robs these banks must do it practically in daylight. Not one has ever been robbed. The man who keeps his money in a bank learns business habits. All pro gressive men, there are no exceptions to this rule, doal with banks. There is a great deal of money in this county that is not in banks. Does it help the banks to deposit in them? Certainly it does. But it helps the de positor too. If we had no banks in this country wouldn't we bo in a nice fix? If we had no depositors we would have no banks. rill'. RKGULAR DEPOSITOR' The man who is a regular depositor will always have banking friends. The banks look after those who help them. That's tho first rule of the banking business. There is a time when every man wants to borrow ? some time or other in his life. When he oan put bis money in the safest place possible?in a bank?and at the same time make a friend of tbe bank, it is strange that he fails sometimes to do it. The great power of the New England States lies in the fact that the working people there have hundreds of millions of dollars laid away in the banks. n ? - ? ? ?- -- M. L.

The Tragedy Very Greatly Deplored. Foster's Ante*Mortem Statements- Some Particulars of the Inman Affair? An Inquest Held. Young Reuben Pitts was yesterday morning granted ball by Judge Al trich, In Spartanburg, in the sum of $6,000, which he promptly gave and was released. Ned Foster, the Inman school pupil who was Bhot by Pitts, lingered until Friday and died. An Inquest was held and it appeared that Pitts told four hnyp, among them Foster, to "stay in." Foster had been told to stay in the day before and had disobeyed. Pitts asked Foster to oome into a private room and told the other three to go into an adjoining room. These other three were peeping through the door into the room where Pitts and Foster were. Pitts got switches and told Foster that he must whip him. Foster said that he waB unwilling to be whipped. Pitts struck Foster with the switch and a scuffle ensued. Here the evidence grows conflicting. Pitts drew a pistol. Foster, in an ante mortem statement, says that he struck the pistol and It was discharged. He did not claim in this statement that Pitts fired it. He says that at about the same moment the other three boys rushed in. These three say they came in after the pistol shot, but all unlto In saying that it was about the same time as the8hot. Pitts showed great sorrow the moment he found the boy was shot, and went up town and surrendered to the marshal. The belief here is that Pitts had no dream of shooting, that he thought the four boys would attaok him and drew the pistol, as ho say?, tooverawo them. The people here who know young Pitts believe that he tells the whole truth, no matter what is at stake, and that the pistol was discharged in the scuttle accidentally. MR. B. L.

Lamb's fnme rests upon his essays and the "Tales From Shake speare," the latter written In collaboration with his sister. The story of the dovotlpn of Lamb to his sis ter, who killed their mother in a fit pi Insanity, Is well known. Much of the charm of his wrltlngB lies In their expression of bis quaint and ecoentrlo per sonality. I HAVE) had playmates, I have had companions, In my day* of childhood, In my joyful schooMays; All, all are gone, the old familiar faces. I have been laughing, I have been carousing, Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies; All, all are gene, the old familiar faces. I loved a Love once, fairest among women; Closed are her doors on me, I must not see her? All, all are gene, the old familiar faces. I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man:' Like an lngrate, I left my friend abruptly; Left him, to muse on the old familiar faces. Qhost-like I paced round the haunts of my childhood; Barth seemed a desert 1 was bound to traverse, Seeking to find the old familiar facee. Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why wert not thou born In my father's dwelling? Bo might we talk of the old familiar faces. How some they have died, and some they have left me, And some are taken from me; all are departed; All, all are gone, the old fumillar faces. HAD TIME WITH "SAFE CRACKERS." Heard the Robber Bust a Cap. LITTLE EXCITEMENT. Amusing Account of an Experience. Finally the Desperado was Discovered Before Serious Damage was Done ?Some Storm Echoes. Editor Advertiskr: For somo months my wife and I have been living aloue?tbo children all having left?some married olT and an other off at school. So, while we are not lonesome, wo havo ample opportu nity for reflection and serious medita tion. While sitting around the old hearthstone sweetly reflecting and mer rily chatting laBt Sunday night we wore terrified by one of the most try ing If not the most dangerous on slaughts known to this section. I have never been of a nervous temperament; never what you might term a coward. When I sit around my hearth-stone or l:o down in my bed it is with a feeling of perfect security?not the slightest apprehension of danger over disturbs my tranquility. in fact my wife, thinks I am game?a rogular impenetrable post behind which she can stand with utmost safety. I would not have her think otherwise for the world. But for all this our nerves were considerably ratlcd last Sunday night when just outside tho house about twonty feet from us we heard a cap*burst. "What was that?" said she. "Don't know" seid I, lazily and carelessly- all calm on tho outRide, but inwardly, all com motion. I had never before enjoyed tho experience of fitting in tho bril liant lamplight beside my window while some safecracker stood out by tho wugon house and snapped cap? at mo from his dark fortress. We might not havo taken in tho situation so readily had it not been Sunday nigh', and then, besides this, we had Just fold our cot ton and delivered it tho day before. Under this enervating, not to say frightened, condition wo began at once to enquire mo-o fully into the bit lation. My wifo stealthily stepped to the front door, opened it and peered out into the darkness li?tening with all ears for any signal of further ass. nit. In tho mean time I had slipped into the store room whore I held the dcor slightly aj?r and well between myself and tho place where 1 heard tho cap concus, listen ing for any movements lhat might be taking plaoe on the outside. After a short while, having discovered no signs of fuither developments, we repaired to our seats around tho fire, tho Madamo having let down tho blinds. Of course I did not let her know that I had been peeping out of the store-room door?had only to get a drink of wate**, you 6ee. 'Ihere wo eat contemplating and, in low tone, discussing tho fiend ish burglaries growing so common in these piping days of peace; and how wo had only one barrel loaded of the two shotguns that hung in the rack and not another shell in tho house. As a matter of course I was not disturbed in tho least outwardly, and talked with great composuro. tolling my wife that it didn't matter about tho guns if she only could find me thoso gymnastic bats tho girls brought from college. We could turn out tho lights when they came in on us and I can cut a wide swath through a crowd of robb rs and pistols in tho dark. I had rather have a good bat than a half doz >.n guns in a close dark engagement. Having put on a good external front I soon had her quiet, and to my mind, a long sight calmer in the inner-man than l wns myself. So she finally suggested that wo go out to the placo where the cap was bursted and eec who was there. Naturally I agreed to go. Had to. I'd st'ck my head In a eye'one current rather than intimate to my wife that 1 was afraid of anything on earth?ex cept a horse. Sho knows I'm afraid of a horse but says that is only wise and manly, She look tho lamp and led tho way. I followed carelessly (?) behind, giving the impresalon that I was not interested enough in the affair even to lead the way and it was about true. As we neareu tho wagon homo we could hear an indistinct noise just about whero we heard the concussion of the oap. Cautiously wo drow nearer to the scene of battle and, ns 1 feand, to our fato. Just as tho cold chill* began to run up try back from the suspicious noise to to heard in tho wagon house, my wife s'opp^d suddenly and sa'd, "Here you are." What could 1 do but slap my hand to my hip pocket and scream out In wild threatening tone, "who are yon? throw up your hands, you safe cracker, you nl/ht burglar!" You see I had no pistol, notevcu a gym nastic bat. I had to rnn a bluff and scream vehemently or maybe, be shot. It is noedlosB to say that I foltunbeara bly humiliated when my wife turned to me in pitying surpriso and said, "What in the woild do you moan? Are yon scared out of your wits? It is noth ing but .Jumbo, (that's our cow dog). Can't you see him? Are yon afraid of Jumbo that you want him to hold up his handsV Why I know all about what it was now, I took the nest egg out of that old hen's nest to-day and put it on that box there and ho's found it, and that's the cap and Jumbo is the safe cracker and night burglar, too?" I'm done with it; you, hear. BROTHBft Bou. P. 8. A terrible storm passed through this section last Monday 16th ?1?.., do ing considerable damage to timber, fencing and unall houses. On Mr. R;b*. Co'oman's p'acc, I !earn, tbere were several cot'apes unroofed tind uuch timber blown down. The center of storm passed through my plantation from West to East leaving my dwelling soxo 200 yards to the right. I: blew down nearly every stock pine In my woods of about l?aoros?some two hun dred p'nes I calculate. Several large apple trce3 and a pair of stables were blown down on my premises. I have heard of no deaths resulting. I hap pened to be caught out in this storm near its center in a buggy and took It all in that was fit to fool with. I would liko to tell you just how I did and what I thought and all but having been so frightened and humiliated the night before I feel too bad. I am getting almost afraid to get scared these days ?afraid the whole flurry might be a fake?a piece of Jumbo's foolery?some spontaneous combustion or maybe tho combustion of a nest egg. Who knows?

For some time, there has been a misunderstanding about the accounts and once before the dispensary was closed for a day or two.

It will be remem bered that Mr. Sullivan has claimed to have made an over-payment of $700.
