NIGHT ROBBER CAPTURED. Was Gelling Away With Goods Taken From Dillon Stores Saturday | Night. i It was during the "dull hour" just before dawn last Sunday morning when the "third trick" operator at the Seabord passenger station was meditating over the possibility of the coal strike tying up traffic and giving the hard worked railroad men a I forced vacation, that a stalwart negro man walked into the station and rudely interrupted the operator's thoughts by asking when the next, train would arrive. The man carried; a heavy trunk on his shoulder which, he deposited on the floor with a sigh; of relief. The operator's suspicions were aroused over the untimely ar-| rival of the lone passenger, and se-1 curing assistance he placed the negro under arrest. An examination of the trunk disclosed a miscellaneous collection of wearing apparel, and j when Charlie Saleeby's name was found on several boxes containing, shoes of various shapes, makes andj sizes there was n0 longer any doubt, in the opertor's mind that some bad j business had been going on while the 1 town slept in the early morning j. hours. The negro was turned over to i the police and an examination of the( stores in town showed that Charlie 1 Saleeby's ahd Morris Fass' stores had i been robbed during the night. There were no evidences that a forcible en- i trance had been made into Charlie I Saleeby's store, but one of the plate I glass windows on the side of Morris i Fass' store had been smashed. Later 1 the negr0 admitted that he had con* cealed himself in Charlie ' Saleeby's store before closing hours Saturday night, an,j after helping himself to the articles of merchandise that pleased his fancy made his exit 1 through a rear door. A collection of coats and trousers J of various sizes and colors that had < been taken from Morris Fass' store 1 was found near the railroad tracks t next morning. An examination of the t clothing stock showed that several j i suits had been broken, but Mr. Fass.J says he is a good sport and if the ? party who got the pieces will comeji back he will sell him the other pdrtsig belonging to the suit at the usual I prices and ask no questions. t But the surprise of surprises came e Sunday morning when Officer McRae nrnrtt tn tVia frnarH hnilap tn InflV the fl prisoner over. He entered the build- I ing, but no where could the negro i be seen. The doors were securely e locked and the windows barred, just the same as he had left them not t long since. There was not an opening anywhere large enough for a I mouse to escape through. It seemed as if the prisoner had vanished into f thin air. The case was puzzling. Later in the day Officer McRae in company with Sheriff Lane returned to c the guard house and began a systematic search. A small hole was discovered in the floor, and after re- I moving the boards the negro was found lying flat on the ground tightly wedged between two concrete columns. , e The prisoner is being held en the r charge of grand larceny. ^ = o e METHODIST HOLD r MEMORIAL SERVICE. u b Dr. Watson B.

Clemson College, Dec. 2?Farmers of Latta made a successful co-operative sale of hogs on last Wednesday, November 26th through the aid of County Agent and the Agent in Marketing. Fifty hogs ranging in / k A weight from 150 t0 200 pounds were gathered at Latta and sold to W. W. Love for the Carolina Packing Co., of Wilmington, N. C., at an average of 1 1-2 cents above what would have been realized on the Richmond market. This was accomplished by! means of bids from the outside and the presence of buyers brought to Latta for the occasion. Some hogs were sold on the local market at Latta that day for the same figures. The Latta sale is just one instance of what is being down for farmers < by the Extension Service in arranging for co-operative selling and uuy- i ing, and it is the hope of the Agent < in marketing and tfce County Agent J that farmers throughout the state < will be quick to respond to the oppor- ] tunties of this kind. o < GRADUATES AS TRAINED NURSE. ?

C. This aggressive firm put out Indian Lumber Truck a few ye igo. The remarkable success of t umber job among the lumbermen his state led the Indiana Truck C ;>oration to design and build the liana Farm Truck. Recognizing that the great ma. tty of trucks are built for city ti Tic over macadam streets, the Lum Truck and the Farm Truck are b iesigned to meet the jolts and j rutty country roads on the tra mission, motor and axle. The radius rods are also a feat on this Farm Truck which relieve frame entirely from the strai,, cau by any side twisting that is so c< mon in trucks not equipped v these rods. Another engineering problem s cessfully solved by the Farm Tr lis the in built quality of its gears t<'take care of the start under heavy load. ran.! Special oversize pneumatic tires have proven as durable as solid tires. These add speed to the truck and by reason pf their buoyancy lengthen the life of the truck considerably. r | With its portable power unit the ' Indiana Farm Truck can be instantly I transformed into an efficient, porta^ ble power plant, capable of driving !any belt driven power implement used' rjjr, 'around a farm?even a th>eshing machine. gj| We hope to see some of these Indiana Farm Trucks operating in this "jg county before long.
