Lake City, November 12: ? 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. About four days

later,upon the written request of six
freeholders, the council again as sembled
for a special session to reconsider
its former action in this
matter, at which time the permit
previously issued to Mr Truluckwas
rescinded. At this writing Mr Tru'

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.
