The sec tion takes Its name from the great Pee Dee river which is formed by the joining of the waters of the Yadkin, Rocky, Uwharee, Little Pee Dee rivers, and Lanes, Brown, Little Jones and Big Jones Creeks and oth er streams of similar and lesser note.

The climatic conditions are Ideal. Those who desire to live among the pines on the sand hills will find the sand hills of Wadesboro, south of the town, a most desirable location Those who want a breath of the mountain flowers and a view of the rocks cfiV go to the Rocks of Wades boro, whfcre the laurel blooms and the beautiful brooks of pure spring water never cease their onward flow, and the great, granite boulders remind one of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

There is no drunkenness on the streets. And as to its sanitary conditions, its streets and its buildings do not tell a wrong story, therefore the reader is referred to the illustrations as to the proof of Wadesboro's neatness and cleanli ness. It's well kept homes, It's beau tiful shade tree, Its prosperous husl- ne.-.s houses, i.etuen limit an-i en terprise. One can point with pride to its County Home, where the elder ly people without means are cared for during their last days. No one can wonder at the prosperity of the Pee Dee section when they see euch a home provided for the elderly poor. It shows prosperity and people de serve prosperity that give such care to the afflicted. In a word Wadesboro has a set of business men united for the upbuild ing of the town and section and noth ing will be left undone that energy and money can accomplish. Again we want to aasure the man or woman who is looking for a place where they can better their condi tion, that they had best come to Wadesboro, where they will not only be welcome, but where they can get financial help to build a home, buy a farm, establish a manufacturing busi ness or do anything that requires the expenditure of money.

Early Tuesday morning the citi tens of Morven were greatly sur prls.dtoflnd that a number of the stores of the town had been burglar ised the preceeding night. In all, four stores were broken Into. Mr. Tom Ballard's place of business was entered by breaking open the front door, here he secured about f200 worth of Jewelry. The store of M. H. Lowery aid Co., was also entered through the front door, and a quan tity of Jewelry stolen. The s tore of T. V. Ilardison and Co., was entered through the transum over the front door. Nothing was missed from this store. Ingress to Mr. W. Henry Liles' store was made by breaking open a.blird and and raising a win dow. Here a small amount of change was secured and a few arti cles of merchandise appropriated. Mr. Ezekiel Iewis, town marshall of Morven, and Mr. Tom Balfard struck the trail ofthetheif early in the morning, and followed it until nearly sundown, when they ran up v ith him near the town of Cheraw, S. C. By this time they had been joined by an officer from Cheraw, who assisted them in making the ar rest. The man resisted and was struck a heavy blow on the head by the Cheraw policeman, before he would give in. The fellow, however, after being taken into custody gave no more trouble. He aave his name as Thos. Wheeler, of Philadelphia. Confessed to the robbeties, and in dicated his willingnesi to return to North Carolina without requisition papers. When arrested Wheele had con- cealed about his person sev ral watch- es and a quantity of othe jewelry. In the pockets of his pants 112.50 was found and concealed in th legs of his socks was $110. Wheeler was brought bacUtoMor ven where he was glv:n a irelimi nary hearing, yesterday befole Esq. W. E. Pennington. He pleai guilty to all of the charges, . and wal com mitted to jail at this place In lefault of bail. . " All of the jewelry, stolen from the Morven . stores was not founu on Wheeler's person when he was Wres ted, but he piloted the officers to a spt near McFarlan where hehad buried the missing articles, wiich were also secured. A diamond ring, and a fine gWl watch, which did not belong to aiy person in Morven, was found in Wheeler. Thefe, he said, he stole in Sanford Sunday night. Wheeler, who is comparatively ii young man, dosn't show much fntl gence. He says that he arrived In Morven about 10 o'clock Monday morning and soon afterwtrd went tp a near-by swamp, wherhe remained until about 12 o'clock Monday night, when he returned t Morven and proceeded with hjoevilment. Mr. W. E. Jrchlson, a lawyer of .T-iesbot and Mr. n. a. Watson, a merchant of the same place, whose store was robbed last Friday night, arrived in Wadesboro last night to in spect the jewelry found on Wheeler's person. They were able topossitive ly identify a gold watch, and partially identify a number of gold rings, as being some of the articles stolen from Mr. Watson's store. To Orgnnfee Junior Chnptcr.
