T, MoQee A Son, at ikft Hoskina Kill, four miles west of-Charlotte," earjyi yeaieraay morning, : Diew open ino heavy ateel safe in the office with ultra-glycerine, and escaped with their booty which amounted to $6 in pennies and an old gold watch. A reward of S0 has been offered by Mr. GcCee for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party or parties. When Mr. MeCee entered the store early yesterday morning a strange sight met his eye The office was littered with dirt, papers, and rubbish. The safe was standing to one side, with the door misslrig. Its contents had been thrown about, the books and ledgers lying here and there. The ex plosion had been of such force that the heavy door was broken, parts of it lying on the lloor, the rest hav ing been hurled almost across the store. Those who entered could de tect the unmistakable odor of nltro glyiocrlne. which had 'been used to wreck the safe. The money In the vault amounted to $6, all of which had been taken. An old gold watch was also missing, having been carried away by the robbers. The damage done to the safe and store Mr. AlcCee estimated to he about $100. There was no clue to the robbers. They seem to have done their work In haste and left as quickly as pos sible. The explosion occurred at 1:18 a. m., as shown by a clock In the office which was thrown to the floor and stopped at that hour. A dime was found yesterday mornhig on the ma cadam road leading away from the store. It is not improbable that the robbers walked down to the railroad track and then made their way to Charlotte, where, this morning, they likely boarded one of the trains out bound. Sheriff X. W. Wallace and Deputy Sheriff E. O. Johnson went out to the scene of the robbeiy yesterday morn ing but could do nothing. A reward of $50 has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the safe crackers. Huspiclon points to a well-flressed man, about 23 years of age, who spent all day Friday in and about the Store. No one knew who he was or where he came from and his disappearance yesterday morning leads Mr. MeCee to believe that he had something to do with the robbery. This young man is said to weigh about 160 pounds, was wearing snuff-colored clothes, a light overcoat and derby hat. He wore gold nose glasses and seemed to be of con siderable Intelligence. MRS.

Bo many men know bow to labor and, while young, they think little of rest, but there will come 'a day when theitoillng slaves must rest, or die long before their allotted time. I have heard it said that John Sharpe Williams, one of the most brilliant men of the age, has no pastime, no way of recreation. A friend asked him, one day, why such a fine fellow. with so much sense, should drink and get on little tears, and his frank reply l was that he had no other way to rest. I hat may seem absurd to pure water dt Inkers but I have seen many such men. The greatest of men should learn to rest as well as work. Take Orover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, John Burroughs, Leon Tolstoi and oth er great men of the time. There Is no man of the century who has turn ed out more good work than Roose velt, and he has hunted and romped with men of all nations. Every man should have a pastime. Rest and diversion are conducive to good habits and longevity." Two Marriage IJeenses Issued. Deputy ltegister of Deeds BenJ. Powell yesterday Issued licenses for the marriage of two couples.
