Mr. Sandcrlui, Acting Agent of South ern at Statesville Dors Good Work Has Seven Negro Truck Hand Arrested and Breaks up Kteallug. Special to The Observer. Statesville, Dec. 21. The Investiga tion St the Statesville depot which re sulted In the arrest of eight negroex, charged with stealing goods from th warerooms and cars, has ended urn! the company Is now breaking In a new set of truck hands. The last ar rest was that of Ed. Hart, who was charged with stesllng shoes. He was tried before Mayor Hteele and wunt to jail In default of a 3200 bond for hi appearance at Superior Court. The officers think they have rounded up the entire lot ot thieves, and their work has met with general satisfac tion. The Investigation was begun several months ago by Mr. Sanderlln, a special agent of the Southern who took charge of the depot when Mr. Frank SherrlU resigned. It has been generally known that Mr. Sanderlln is really the man that deserves a great deal of credit for the locklng-up of these thieves. When he came here two months ago, he be gan the work at once, and within .i few days he had Caught up with two of the truck hands Who were in Mu ring doing the stealing, but, desiring to get the whole , bunch at once, he did nut huve those caught Up with arrested. Later He saw that he need ed help and he sent to Old Fort for Mr. Mc Can loss, a special agent and detective of the Southern, to come and aid htm. Before this, however. Mr. Sanderlln had a reliable negro truckman to com to Statesville and Work with the Statesville negroes and gather evldence.v The negro soon pointed out the Statesville truckmen doing the stealing to Mr. Sanderlln. Mr. Sanderlln then sent .the out-of-town truckman hOroe and he and Mr. McC'anless proceeded' to arrest the thieves live in number and had Mr. (Jordan. . an . agent at Ashevllle, to come and assist Chief ot Police Con nor In the prosecution. ; After the five truckmen were trisd. and bound to court, two other -negroes, charged with stealing coal were arrested and sent to jail. The arrest, of Hart was the last and the eighth, and the com" pany think they how have things con Iderably Improved at the station.' Mr. Sanderlln Will leave In a few days, and will probably, go to New ton or Hickory, He has done a good work In Statesville and he turns the office over to the new agent Mr. Maher. of Chester, 8.

And so a knowledge of our shop gradually extends.- That's the one . trouble we have In building up a machine building and repairing busi ness here In the South. Tbe mill men have got their minds fixed on Providence and other distant plaoea and don't look up the facilities here at home. . - There are many economies In dealing at home. There Is saving of freight and of time. When there la a break down the wheels can be put turning again quicker through n home shop than through a dis tant one. , - .
