But then it may develop that Roosevelt will succeed in making himself an impossibility before 1001. Reports issued in London Wednesday show that tho army expenditures during the pxst year have amounted to Sl'iivwu.OOO.

The Democrats have gained a signal victory in their attitude in the debate of the bill culling for an inves- o> tigation of Philippine affairs which M are being kept from the people by St the officials.

Harris, of Lithiu Water fame, is going into the now paper business in about km earnest a manner as he pushed his Harris Lithia Springs business. lie latest is that he has purchased The Truth newspaper of Spartanburg, formerly known as The Headlight, and will run that paper in connection with the semi-weekly Spartanburg Herald which he also owns. Gen'l Spoppelboin, the former owner of Truth, will resume the practice of law. We regret to lose the General from the field but wish him aoooesa at the bar. I darixO e x truss robbery. A wry hold *\rjrl daring robbery, worthy of (bo James boys, was committed Monday night at 7 o'clock near Branchville. Six men, some of them blacked, while tho others wore no disguise, held up the passenger train botweon the 50 and 58 mile post. Tho engineer was ordered to stop the train by some men on the tender. He failing to do so, they fitvxi shnlu nno nf Hiu... ~ ?.V ... (.mil through his cup. The fireman jumped. The engineer stopped his engine. Thu men made him toll them how to uncouple the train. Mo was then made to proceed t> u small station at 58 mile post, while the men, two or three of them, entered the expn s> car and made the agent deliver the money in the small safe, amounting to about $2o. He could not open the large safe, and when they arrived at the station a wagon backed up to the express car door and the safe was i rolled into it, in the meantime the baggage car was riddled ilh bullet holes, the baggage master and flagman narrowly escaping by hiding behind drummer's trunks, The engineer went back after hi.s train and one of the men rode a mile of the way wi? h him and then got oil This is'the third robbery of train:at lliis point, tlie first robbery occurring on Dec. 1st, 1S99, when about $1,700 was secured, Bartow Warren was tried for the robbery. It resulted in a mistrial. Just before the second trial was to come off Warren met Tom Watson, one of tho principal witness, and shot him dead. Warren hn? sinew o t Mwu i* lu^unc 111)I:i justice. On October, last, another but unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the express car at the same place, by a lone robber. It is thought Warren is at the head of this last robbery. The Governor has oilercd a reward of $-400 for the capture of the robbers, and detectives and blood hounds are after them. This is possibly the most daring robberj' that has ever occurred in diis State, and shows that those who ,ook part in it are certainly desperite characters, and we fear there will ie trouble when they are run down md an attempt to arrest them is , nade. The part y was track-id to the < Cdisto river where it was found that 5 he big safe had beeu dumped into he river. The safe was recovorcd inharmed and unopened. The thieves c re still at large. ^ What is getting the matter with ; his country? There seems to bt ^ i egular epidemic of robberies. There 1 i hardly a week passes that there * re not several reports of robberies i the State. * ^ IE-DISTRICTING THIS STATM. J The House last Thursday by uu ' 'erwheltning majority passed Mr. g cGowun's bill for re-districting the ? /ate. The bill has also been favor>ly reported upon by the Senate w jmmittee. The bill n3 passed by tho House | as follows: ! r* Section 1. That tho State be di, I hi led into seven Congressional diy- I'm icts, as follows : rp The 1st Congressional district shall composed of the counties of Cb' P iton, Berkley, Colleton and ar' ester. Dor- o 1 he 2d Congressional dh composed of the cour' ?trict shall mberg, Beaufort, P ?ies of Aiken, r Id, Saluda and H jarnwell, Edgorhe lid CuDic^ .fimpton. ooinpo?' *, .ssional district shall a.

The 4th Congressional district shall a fc'jmposed of the counties of Luur ns, Spartanburg, Greenville and .Tnion. < Tho 5th Congressional district shall bo composed of the counties of Cherokee, Chester, York, Fairfield, Ker- t Bhnw, Chesterfield and Lancaster. The (>th Congressional district shall , be composed of tlie counties of Marl- j horo, Marion, Horry, Darlington, t Florence, Williamsburg and Georgetown. The 7t.li Congressional district shall be composed of t he counties of Richland, Lexington, Sumter, Orangeburg and Clarendon. Section 2. Until the next appor HOD mem. nn mane uy inpuiinj,'re-n ui the United States, each of said Congressional districts shall he entitled to elect one member to represent this State in the Congress of the United States. Admiral Schlejr has positively declared that he will not bo a candidate for President of the United States. He does not care to jeopardize tho love and esteem of tho people of the whole country that he now enjoys by ' entering the political urena, and we think his decision is a wiso one. We think Schley has been ill treated but i we do not think It would be good l judgment on his part to run for PrcsI Idcnt. Ho is well assured that lie now occupies ft very warm spot in ?ho hearts of tho people of J,ho whole country and 'h'* should be honor j enough for any ona, ST ATI-; NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges.
