This order is made to mature at a stated time and affords an excellent opportunity to invest idle money for a short time. Youjcan lose a certificate of deposit, but you cannot lose the money it represents. When it is issued, a record is made and carried in the bank, so that no one but its proper owner can draw . • its equivalent in cash. If the certificate is lost or stolen, a du< plicate will be furnished upon proper proof of loss. This baak issues certificates of deposit paying four p r cent interest, com pounded four times a year. Our certificate of deposit is as good as a government bond, and it makes it possible to make ^our money work for you. OFFICERS C. M. Smith, President, R. S. Lipscomb, Cashier, A. N.

Deputy Marshal Godfrey, and Con stable J. H. Dover, went over into York county Tuesday where they had reason to believe that an illicit dis tillery was i n operation, and captured a negro named Miles Stowe, who was working at the plant, and flushed a covey of four others who made good their escape. The still and the whole outfit were taken charge of bv the of ficers, and about three hundred gal lons of beer destroyed. They also secured about three and a half gal lons of whiskey which had Just been made. The still was of about sixty- gallon capacity and was situated in an ideal place for making “moon shine;” indeed but for the fact that the officers were guided to the place, it would have been impossible for them to have located it. The negro Stowe was committed to Jail to await the arrival of Deputy Col lector Merrick. Another Mill for Gaffney. The Ledger has information to the effect that there la likely to be another cotton mill erected In Gaff ney In he near future. In fact some Northern capitalists are negotiating with Messrs. E. R. Cash, W. L. Set- tlemyer and J. Eb Jefferies for a site on the northeast side of town. If the new. mill materializes It will probably be a 5,000-spindle yarn mill to begin with. We hope the new mill will come. HERCHANTS^PLANTERS BAKU : r GAFFNEY.. S.C. Off for he Expo. Rev. S. B. Harper, Dr. J. F. Garrett, Mrs. J. F. Garrett, Misses Lula and Freeman Garrett, Mrs. T.
