(, I ;\ Ti M()' . 4a~ bi i 4 * ENOBEE NEW& Enoree, Dec. 20.-4We presume you are aware that the present year is rapidly drawing to a close. A few more suns--provided the clouds lift and the knell will be heard at the midnight hour. What has the year brought to us? And what has it re ceived from us? The time of resolu tions will ,oon be ours. It's funny how we resolute, and resolute about the dawn of the new year. There is nothing better if we would only re member the obligation. Alas! The clean, blank pago presented to us at the beginning of the new year soon becomes besmirched with, at least, neglect of duty. How many precious moments, hours and even days run ning to waste that might be utilized for the permanent good of somebody. Many saaw' the dawning of this year of grace, who will witness its close from the .t.ernal shore. Just two days ago a promising youth of seven teen summers, Russell Owens, by the accidental discharge of a gun, passed to the Beyond without a moment's warning. 'We were just thinking what a change has come over the elements in the las twenty-four hours. Yester day, though cold, the bright rays of the sun were failing athwart our path ways to gladden our hearts, but to day the clouds obscure the sun, while the mist and rain is congealing on the trees around us. What a blessing that the miners have resumed their iw-ork. Look out apon the public highways, especially in the direction of Laurens, and see how many Fords, to say noth ing of the less consequentials, are either out of commission or seeking the subways. Oh, well, time and good weather will retrieve them. The mill authorities with a number of invited guests enjoyed an up-to-date turkey dinner in the basement of the new school building on the evening of the 12th inst. Mr. Graham, the president, was the host, and was quite caref-l to see that all enjoyed the hour. There were quite a number of short addresses after dinner, which contributed much to the pleasurie of the evening. For nearly two years substantial improvements have been going on in' the town rf Enorce, until the town is really a iew town. There is much more work contemplated yet. The management, Mr. Graham, but more directly, Mr. Clifford, deierves the thanks of the people for the untiring efforts to .womote the welfare of the ipeople. Christmas trees are in the air here and they will begin to materialize early next week. The swhool will close on Tuesday, 23rd, with a Christmas tree for the school and music and oth er attractions for the public. It is Irobable that the Sunday school will enjoy a tree later in the week. All the eachers, who have been rendering ..mch fait hfulI and efficient services in the gradled school will leave us -mn Christmas eve for their respective hiome's, to enjoy the holi days with homefolks.

BAND OF THIEVES 8TEAL $1,000,000 New York Assistant District Attorney Believes That Dishonest Trustees are In Cahoot with Robbers. .Now York, Dec. 20.-Information that an alliance exists between a band of thieves in the Field district which has stolen more than $1,000,000 ,worth of securities in the last six months and dishonest trustees is in possession of Assistant District Atter ney Talley, he announced tonight. Sev eral trutees of valuable estates, he de clared, have taken good securities valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars from safe deposit vaults and replaced them with stolen securities obtained at very low figures. "The theory upon which the ex changes are made," Mr. Talley said, "is that by the time the life of the trumt expires and the estate is to be turned over to the heirs, the theft of the bords :tuid securities will have been forgotten and the vigilance re laxed, so that the securities with which the original papers were re placed can be brought out and no gotIated with a reasonable degree of safety. "For these stolen iecurities'," ihe explained, "the trustees, according to my information, are paying from one half to three-fourths their actual value. The real securities in the hands of the trustees are disposed of at the prevailing market prices, the trustees pocketing the difference be tween the amount realized by these sales and what they are required by the thieves to pay for the stolen securities." ,Ar. Talley today recovered eight $1,000 New York city bonds stolen from a steaship company's office on November 3.
