OLD PISTOL IS FOUND WHILE MAKING REPAIRS WAS BENEATH FLOOR IN THE BAILES STORE ROOM IS AN OLD MAKE And Was Evidently Thrown Away Hurriedly By Someone Many, Many Years Ago. Yesterday morning while tearing away part of the old floor in l?e Dalies' Blore room on No;lh Main street which has been occupied by the Piedmont & Northern ticket ofllco II. D. Masters fourni au old pistol, very much corroded and looking us if it had been lost or discarded for u number of years.
