MORE KROBBE R®.
A Negro Opens Mr, Joe] GatdnerTs
Safe.
From the Weeklg we learn that
another attempt has been made
to rob Mr. Juvel Gardner, of Bel~
voir township, one of the weal-
thiest citizens of the county. It
. is known that Mr. Gardner keeps
large sums of money about his
house, and robbers muke effort to
get it. A few years ago one of
his barons was set on fire and
while his family were trying to
put out the fire the robbers went
in his house ana took a truvk
that had considerable money ir
it out of a window. About §3,-
000 of what was stolen at that
time was recovered, but much
more was lost.
After that robbery Mr. Gardner
procured a safe of the old lock
andkey pattern and has since been
keeping &4is money in that, and
kept the key in a trunk. A tew
days ago while the family were
occupied in the kitchen, a negro
named Ned Walston, who worked
with Mr. Gardner and knew
where his money was, entered the
house, got the key from the bot-
tom of the trunk, opened the safe
and was in the act-of taking out
money when Miss Alice Gardner
- walked in the room: The negro
opened a window and escaped,
jeaving a bag of gold and a large
roll of bills on the floor. It is
not known whether be got away
with any money. The negro was
tracked for three miles. Mr.
Gardner has offered $100 reward
for his capture and delivery to
the Sheriff.
NEARLY 60,000 POUNDS,
The Golden Weed Was Here To.day,
And Everybody Was Happy.
The Greenyille tobacco market
went a humming to day with one
of the largest breaks in the his
tory of the market. At an early
hour wagons and carts fall of the
weed began coming in and they
were still arriving when the sales
started, swelling the aggregate on
the four warehouse floors to near-
ly 60,000 pounds.
~The Greenville Warehouse atert-
ed the bali on the first sale with
7,000 pounds. oParson� Evans
was in one of pis finest humors
and fairly shot in high prices on
the boys, making every seller at
his house happy. The old Green
ville is a hummer.
The Star came in for second
sale with 10,000 pounds, and Capt
PaceTs bald pate glistened lika

Over the piles. Prices kept a
whooping up and Pat Gorman
would cause no littie fun when he
would whistle and yell ~come
down from there!� causing the
spectators to stretch their necks
towards the roof to see who he
was calling down.
The Planters. pulled off the
third sale with 15,000 pounds
Ola Forbes was in all hisT glory
xod cried himself hoarse making
the boys run Tem up. But he got
there in great shape andT every
farmer smiled with joy over his
prices.
The Eastern rounded up with
the last and best sale, having the
enormous break of 25,000 pounds,
the largest by 2,000 pounds that
has ever been on any single fioor
here. ~~Old Man Gus� was strict-
ly in it up to his neck, and Olthos
Joyner hardly got time to shake
the floods of perspiration off his
auburn locks while he shoved the
buyers on and made them do
so:ne fancy bidding.
It was an all-round fine break
The tobacco was here and the
buyers almost tumbled over each
other after the bright piles. The
high prices on every floor was the

with English, German and Bel-

sincere seem the dolorous wails
sent up from that quarter in 1893
pwhen it was -roposed to remove
the duty from iron ore and pig.
No protection was needed, it is
clear, since Anniston can pay
freight on its water pipe to Tokio
via Liverpool, and yet underbid
all competitors. Pittsburg is said
to have-sent 400 tons of pig to
Engiand reeently, and Youngs
town, Ohio, sent 1,000 tons of

intended for their ears.

who appealed for the appellant was
long and tedious; he brought in all
of the elementary text books and
proposi-
