It is said tlint Senator Foraker has
n Presidential hoe buzzing in his bonnet.
Notwithstanding that he announced
some timo ago that he was

that Roosevelt will succeed in
making himself an impossibility before

Reports issued in London Wednesday
show that tho army expenditures

The Democrats have gained a signal
victory in their attitude in the
debate of the bill culling for an inves- o>

tho Senate Committee on'

vigorous figUt for his bill providing
for a government telegraph system.
The idea is for the treasury department
to issue bonds sufficient to pay
for the property of the existing companies.

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

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

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

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'

composed of the cour' ?trict shall

Anderson, Abbeville, j'
reonwc Hj an(j Kewberry.
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

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,

Tillman lit onto him like a wasp
