The officers were notified shortly after the robbery*occurred and went at once to the Knight home and invest!: gated the affair as far as their information could go, but no definite clues were obtained.

Now .folks bere is something new and may suggest ?n industry for some man in Camden, ao inclined. Over in Kinttun, North Carolina, Hoscoe Duugherty's minnow farm hoH been made ready for a big aeahoi!. The farm is the only thing of the kind in that pari of the country. It 11 I'" a ted in the back yard of Daugherty'a homo. A flooded flower pit at a house nearby sservtsvte eahi for toe overflow when the' "farm" proper is crowded. Dauglurtv did a good business Ifcit year, when his enterprise was only in the experimental stage. Heboid approximately $200 worth of minnows during .the summer months. He will branch out thU summer and carry a much larger stock. 'All you have to do is get them to fish." J)augheiTy declares. "That* is fairly easy. Suggest to some old codger that the club ought to be biting, and off he goes, Somebody else sees him trotting off with a hook and line and gets smitten. It becomes a sort of endless chain affair." The fishermen have to have bait, of course, and Daugherty supplies the bait. The minnow farm proprietor gets his stock from Neuse river and its tributaries. It is easier than raising minnows, for which a more or less elaborate equipment would be needed. The minnows are most plentiful along the edges of thq streams. Daugh'erty locates a school, dips his net and brings out a dozen or maybe two or three dozen little fish. The little ifflinow retails at a cent and a half. The larger fish at 2 cents. There are tw.o kinds of minnows in local streams. One docs not get larger than a child's finger. The roach grows to be as large as a small herring. Both are in demand. The!, farm is little . trouble. Daugherty | only has to keep his pits supplied. The minnows thrive on stale bread.!1 Occasionally a big minnow will de-r vour a little ofce', but the loss from J ^ cannibalism is trivial. - N I Recommended For Re-election ( Bethune, April 5.?Every member!' of the faculty of the Bethune high], school, half the members of the j, faculty of the Bethune grammar j school, and the principals of the Tim-1 rod and Shamrock grammar schools J were recommended for re-election by j Supt.

That is why the world over the term "railroad man" denotes men of character, trustworthiness and useful citizenship. But if the demands on the individual railroad man are great, so are the opportunities. The men with the responsibilities of leadership on the Southern today have grown up with the railroad. To handle the greater traffic of the growing South expeditiously, economically and dependably, the Southern needs the best men of the South. Railroading has always attracted the best type of citizenship. And it always will. It is a man's job. x S O U-T HLE R_N RAILWA Y((jS|f)VYSTEM Ute Southern the South 7~.
