CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT
A certificate of deposi* is an interest bearing order on the bank
for money. 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.

Offlcra Capture Stilt.
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.
