DARING WORK OF RGB

The Savings Bank of Fort Mill

$3,000?Utile Clue to the B
The Fort Mill Savings Bank, an
institution in which our town
took gient pride, was robbed by
professional burglars at an early
hour Tuesday morning. Tiiis
startling discovery was made 1 >y
Mr. J as. Grid*, who passed the
bank on his way to open his store
for the (lav's business. Mr. (trier's
attention was attracted by a lot of
broken glass scattered over Main
street. This, it was discovered,

building. Glancing in through
tho broken pants, .Mr. Grier saw
lliat tin* big vault and tab' had
been blown open, and many
books and papers were seattercd
over the room, lie immediately
notified Mr. \Y. li. Meacham, cash
ier of the institution, who with
other gentlemen entered the bank
and began an investigation. The
tirst discovery was a number of
tools, such as crowbars, sledge
hammers, drills, and a brace and
bit, lying about the room. Most
of these were the property of Mr.
A. A. Young, bis smith shop hexing
been broken open and the
tools taken therefrom.
As indicated by the big clock in
the bank, tho robbery must hav?
took plnce at 1 a. m., as the clock
registered the hour at d.5."> a. in.,
and it in evident that the jar from
tin* explosion cuused it tp stop at
that time. Resides this, several
citizens heard thy reports, hut
supposing it to be a train shifting
cars, paid no particular attention
to the noise.
The construction of the vault is
such as to make two charges nee
essary in order to reach the money.
With the arrival of cool weather
it is feared that smallpox will again
break out in this township. Already
it is noted that it has appeared
in neighboring communities
and our m-onle should los.? n<>
time in tr?ki11?_c the necessary j>r?
caution to prevent an epidemic of
the loathsome disease should it
a^'iin appear in our midst.
It was rumored lure a few days
aoo that the Catawba Power Company
had purchased a tract of
land on Catawba river at Wright's
ferry with a view to building an.
otlu r dam and electric power plant
as soon as work on the one now in
course of construction is completed.
As announced last week, the
fourth quarterly conference of the
Fort Mill Methodist church was
held Saturday and Sunday. Dr.
Bays, presiding elder of the- Rock
Hill District, was present and
preached several very instructive
sermons to the lar^e crowds who
were in attendance.
Aleck Pott us, colored, whose accidental
shooting was noted in last
week's Times, died Thursday at the
home of his father, near Thorn's
ferry. Our information of last week
was to 1 ho effect tlint tho bullet]
struck Pettus just above the knee,
but this is not exactly correct.
The bullet entered the lower part
of the stomach, penetrated the intestines,
and lodged somewhere in
the back. Pettus is said to have
suffered terribly from the wound.
He was a member of one of tho
most respectable colored families of
that section and hia tin timely dent h
is deeply regretted by both white
and colored people. Only a few
months ago a brother of Pettus was
accidentally drowned at tho d on.
Tt. is expected that the Jones
roller mill, on Catawba river, will
be in active operation by the latter
part of the week. The mid is
equipped with the latest improved
machinery and those who patronize
it may rest" nssurt d of the best
results.

and money were torn up ivtnleicd
it impossible, up to the time of
iioiuo to press, t<> learn the exact

that the lo.-s will not exceed $0.000.
However, Several packages
of money were overlooked bv
the robbers, and the l< ss i ? not
nearly so heavy by several hundred
dollars as could have been.
There is no evidence as to who
were the guilty parties, but it is
known that the thieves left town
in diU'cn-nt directions. A silv? r
dollar, which bore maiUs of the
explosion, was found early yester
.
(lay morning just beyond Bather's
bridge, and it is thought thai tin
piece of money was dropped by
the thief w ho went that way.
In view of the many iuquiiies
I>y depositors as to who would
lose the stolen money. The Tine s
has heen requested to state thai,
according to law, the hank is iesponsible
for the entire amount,
and that none of its patrons will
be called upon to share the h-ss.
The board of directors met \es- j
terday morning and found that
the bank was not seriously injured
by the loss and directed that tieusual
business be resumed this
morning at the regular hour.
