Yeggmen paid a visit to the postoffice here last night, blew open the safe and got away with about $800 worth of stamps and about $100 in money. That safe-crackers had been around was evident to Post master J. E. Ligon the moment he opened the office this morning, for portions of the iron safe were scat tered in different parts of the build ing, stamp drawers were wide opsn and the whole place gave evidence that it had been ransacked. The safe. was literally shattered. Several Lillington people jheard the explosion, all agreeing that it took place between one and two o'clock this morning. But they took no spec ial notice as blasting has been going on at the gravel pits near here an 1 a dynamite explosion Is nothing out of the ordinary. ; The faint clue which may develop in the finding of the parties who cracked the' safe lies in the fact that an automobile containing I two men passed Kipling, the first station north of Lillington, last night at nine o'clock going towards Lillington." A! car which seemed to be the same one was met between Kipling and Lillinton at four o'clock this morning going towards Kipling. The man who saw the car this morning says that when it was some distance from him it stopped and one of its two occupants got out and extinguished the lights. The car, he said, then shot by him and after it had gone a little distance stopped, pre sumably to light up again, and then proceeded. ! i OPENING OF SCHOOLS TAKES PLACE ON MONDAY, SEP- TEMBER 13TII.

The Japanese, for many years con spicuous in the American navy, has entirely disappeared. v His place as orderly, valet, mess attendant and cook, has been taken by the Filipino; in some cases by the negro. . .. This process of elimination by which the Japanese was to be forever eradicated as a factor of the navy was inauguarated several years ago and it has been moving forwrd quiet ly and steadily until today the last Jap has been weeded out of the ser vice. - Not a -ship of Admiral Fletcher's At lantic fleet, not a ship of the Pacific and Asiatic fleets, not a ship in re serve carries the name of a Japanese on its pay roll and where the Jap formerly was employed a Filipino now draws the wages. v Long ago the powers that be at Washington realized the advantage of eliminiating the Jap from the navy. It was discovered that the native of the flowery kingdom, hired as a men ial, was making himself far more and it is conceded to be a fact that Japan's navy today is largely the result of the experience of her young naval of ficers who served as cooks and mess attendants in the American navy.
