That; Lake City is not behind the fashion ' of high art n thievery and "has ade- 1 quate protection against this line of j K,1iJino? i? evidenced by the follow-j ingcase: Mr P R Bailey, night-j watchman for the Deep River Lumber corporation, 'as is customary, brought his pass book to the Farmers and Merchants Bank for the monthly balance. Calling for the book next day, he found that there was a check coverring the balance that he Jshould have had therein. Mr Bailey denied any knowledge of the check which bore his name, whereupon the cashier immediately put the raotter^nto the hands of the Pinkerton detective agency, who | represent the Farmers ^and Mer> chants Bank in cases of burglary,etc, and as a result of the efforts of the tdftective, the guilty party. Bill "Wvieat,alias Bill Ard,of Greelyville, was apprehended and now awaits disposition of his case at the next term of court in Florence, after a preliminary here' before Magistrate Baldwin. At a special meeting called by the town council of Lake City for the purpose of deciding the question as to whether or not Mr J M Truluck, of this place,would be permitted to remove a wooden store house erected within the present fire limits of Lake City to a place directly back I of the present site,it was decided by the council to issue a permit allowing the wooden structure to be removed in order that a more permanent brick structure could be built in the same place.

At this writing Mr Tru' 1 Kxt oivhr. iuck nas a peuuuu signer i.j five freeholders asking the town council to again assemble itself for the purpose of considering the petition. The council refused to consider Mr Truluek's petition, receiving ita" information. Much interest is manifested in this proceeding just now. The majority of the progressive business men are in favor of the removal of this structure in order that Mr Truhick may erect certain buildings and thereby not only add to the material business wealth g! the town, but also improve this sec-1 tion, the business center of Main street. Lake City is still shivering in the grip of the cold wave tnat struca us Saturday light. A slight fall of, snow was observed Sunday morning and the wind continued to blow stiff all Sunday,only decreasing its velocity sometime during the early hours of Monday morning. Sunday was the most unpleasantly cold day of this winter,followed by two more of winter's cold and snappy days, Monday and today, both of which were ushered in with a frost equal to a small snow. Much interest is centered in the school un ler the supervision of j Miss Don Hinnant, situated on Dr I DuRant's place. Miss Hinnant is a competent and efficient young lady j and with the co-operation of the pu- j pils and the patrons of the school the j best results are anticipated. Mr J L Stuckev returned last week from the western markets, where he-ha I gone to buy stock. Last Fridav he received a consignment of twenty-eight fine horses. > YjurWE ) WITHOUT [*HE BANK ? stion? ik YOUR bank. est on savings accounts. RCHANTS BANK, | LAKE CITY, S.
