SIX Walks Eighteen 1 And Just Think Gaston Best Perhaps Has Made More Mileage Or Foot Than Any Man Ir This Section Of The State (N YEAR'S TIME HE WALKS 6,570 MILES Three Times Distance From Atlantic To Pacific Covered Bv Emolovee Of Lumber Company At Hallsboro Each Year Walking 18-miles every night remains a feat which Gaston Best, employee of a Hallsboro lumber company accomplishes every night and thinks nothing of it. In making his rounds looking after the property of the North Carolina Lumber Company in Hallsboro, Mr. Best covers the amazing distance which in a year's time, providing he works every night, will run up to 6,570 miles, or three times the distance across the North American continent. Mr. Best walks 40-hours every week. In that forty hours he covers 126 miles, exactly the distance from Whiteville to Raleigh. In arriving at his speed, it was estimated that the Hallsboro man makes something like three miles per hour. Asked if he could strike out and walk eighteen miles on a straight stretch, Mr. Best said he doubted it, because walking Postoffice S; Last Wedtv Several Hundred Dollars I Obviously Professionals, Postoffic?

The yeggs had used some kind of implements to prize open the doors of the building, in order to gain entrance. They had to break open the front door, then prized open another into the office of the postmaster, and thence went to the safe itself. They broke off the combination of the safe, took all the cash contained therein with the exception of three or four dollars in pennies. They apparently did not bother any of the other articles contained in the safe, and as far as the postal employees could tell there were no stamps missing. Attaches at the postoffice declined to estimate the amount actually stolen from the safe, but confined their statement to the fact that several hundred dollars were taken. Detectives from the postoffice department are expected today >or tomorrow to conduct investigation into the robbery. Attaches at the sheriffs office searched the safe for finger prints this morning, but were unable to find any.
