Mr Cannon notified the postoffice authorities and 'phoned Sheriff George J Graham at Kingstree, who sent his famous blood-hounds"Jin charge of Jailor Cockfield on train No 80. The dogs failed to get a trail in the office or at the blacksmith shop of Mr WL Jones, where the cracksmen got drills and other tools to drill or tap the door of the safe so as to place the explosive. A short stick of dynamite was found under the|safe. The explosion broke some panes of glass in the windows and the barometer, the contents of which smelled of camphor, which confusion^ of smells might have baffled theRdogs in picking up the trail. No trailjwas found at the shop, so the robbers must have had something on their feet. The haul they made was $750 in postage stamps and $25 in cash. A postoffice inspector was here Thursday. This office was looted about twelve years ago. Mr and Mrs B^B^Myers are the proud parents of a ^bouncing baby boy, who made his[welcome appear air.t ouuuajr.
