KELTON i
Kelton, S. ('., April 4.?It snowed
last night and this morning at <1 the
ground was white, but ceased and
pvas all soon incited. That was the
(second snow that had fallen this 1
;wcek. Is there any one living who- '
lever saw a more beautiful sight that 1
was beheld the other morning when
'the beautiful snow covered the earth '
some two inches deep and ail the :
1 roes so beautifully covered in its 1
beauty. I'each and pear trees in :
a all bloom, covered in snow, was one
' f the most beautiful scenes I ever '
beheld. ]
i There is a religious sect who be- '
jieves that the prophecies are fast '
being fulfilled and Christ's second !
homing is nigh at hand; that th< -iv.
shall be wars and rumors o: waiw,
and mighty earthquakes in th earth. :
L\nd don't it say we will not know 1
winter from summer or somching to '
j hat effect. Well, we an having
snow in April, and most of the world
engaged in one of th<> mo *: deadly :
wars the world ever witne.--el and
other impoiuuil countnus ngui I
?lu? brink of war. There is England ,
trving to get o n- country into :? wai
with Mexico and also in t'rv European
war, hy flying the Am-noun
llatv on her merchant ships, and it
looks mighty like she is hiring
American engineers, etc., and Americans
to travel on those vessels knowing
the danger that there is in being
Mown up hy a mine or being destroyed
l>y a submarine, and it American
lives are lost, call Uncle Sam
to protect her citizens and mavbe
involve our nation in a great, conflict
and cause thousands of our young
men to fall on the lmttelfieiii >r (ill
a watery grave. No, my dear readers,
we don't want any war with any
nation. Europe is in it and let. her
tight it out as we did r?0 years ago.
There are more ways to kili a cat
than hy choking it to death with butter.
I think we have men at the
head of our nation who are doing all
Jthat is possible to retain pe.v e with
the world.

ROB POSTOFFICE AT VI
HONE A PATH
Si
Professional Cracksmen Visit lipCount
ry Town
Honea Path, April (5.?The postsflice
was visited here last night by
professional cracksmen and the safe 4^
robbed of about $2,000, of which $7:5 fr
was in cash and the remainder in BC
stamps. The fact that the office had ^
just received a new supply of stamps
is the explanation for the loot being
,0 larjre* , , tc
According to the best calculation
that can be made the robbery occur- a(
red about 1:30 o'clock this morning
jmd there were three in the party*', if
not more, and they were traveling by
automobile. The town has had a night F:
watchman on duty for some time, but
last night he was sick and went home g!
about 1 o'clock. Previous to his go- vl
ing in he saw an automobile pass 8(
slowly through- the main street, car- 2(
f Vtrnn man \i'Vw\ cannuul in I to ?t
looking carefully on both sides of the C(
street. The car entered from the direction
of Donalds and passed up OI
street in the direction of Helton. This jr
was undoubtedly a tour of inspection
There were several who heard the
explosion and the automobile as it
passed out of town between 1 and 2
o'clock. An automobile carrying
three men was also seen to pass
through Helton about 2 o'clock.
The robbers entered the offi'-e by
the front window and knocked the ^
combination off the safe and with a al
monkey wrench which had been pro- D
cured from a blacksmith shop here f>(
and which was left in the oflice. The 0
safe was covered with an old carpet a:
which had been taken from the yard g
of Pete Smith, where the wrench
was procured. The two laprobes f(
wore also used which were wet before t]
the charge was set off. The glass of t;
the windows and office fixtures shows (|
no sign of a crack from the impact
of the explosion. A large hole was
blown through the door of the safe
and the cash register was prized
open. It was evidently the work of
professionals and they did an exceedingly
smooth job. "

tory of an Immigrant Family That I
Went Farming Forty-six
Years Ago.
John Austin and his wife. Emma,
i years ago came to this country
om England with their four sons and
ittled on a 160-acre farm in the
ocky mountains. Austin had been a
ill worker and he and his wife
:arcely had money enough to come
this country and tako up the 160
:res which the government at that
me was willing to givo any settler,
f the subsequent success of this famy
Doctor Winship writes in Farm and
ireslde as follows:
"Once established and the market
irdening scheme on its feet, John dlided
the 160 acres in halves, kept
) acres and gave each of the boys
) acres. They all worked the whole
f it. but kept the expenses and inane
from each lot distinct.
"I know Murk Austin well; he is
le of the eminently prosperous men
i Idaho, lie furnishes sugar beets
>r eight of the large factories along
line of 400 miles of railway, raising
lany of the beets and contracting for
ie re?t. He is a prince among the
usiness men of Idaho.
"The other :hree boys, Thomas, Wilam
and John, are cattle kings in
olorado, Wyoming and Utah; each is
t the head of a live stock company,
vo in the sheep business?one had

Short-Sighted Bourbons.
One hundred years ago France was
ndergoing many changes, following
lie overthrow of Napoleon and the resoration
of the Mourbons. Many of these
hanges were not to the liking of the
eople, and the signs of popular disontent.
were increasing daily. I'articlar
offense was given by the repudiaion
of N'anoleon's famous concordat
nth the church, also by the efforts
f the government to prohibit all buytig
and selling on religious holidays
