And the town is more or less elated over indications which point to the consummation of the project at a very early date. J. C. Bossong, of New York, and some of his asso ciates, some of them local, have been looking over the situation in Asheboro for the past several days with view to locating a mill of this nature here. It is understood that several sites have been looked over and that options have been obtain ed on some of these with view to location of the mill. Definite ar rangements on the location of the mill probably will be made the lat ter part of the week. Asheboro al ready consumes more silk yarn in the manufacture of silk and semi silk hosiery than any other town or city in the State, and has four large hosiery mills, namely Acme, Parks, Cranford and Asheboro.* The addition of another mill would place the town still farther in the lead.

Bank At Norman Robbed Tuesday By Three Bandits %ho Make Good Escape, Though Hard Pressed By Posse'Which Follow In Pursuit. Robbers Get $250 And Lock Cashier, Mr. Lowder milk, In Bank Vault—Travel ing In Stolen Car. Three unmasked white men, trav eling in a new Buick car, which proves to have been stolen from Greensboro, robbed the Bank of Norman, at Nor man, Richmond county, Tuesday at 1:30 o’clock, of $250 in cash, and af ter locking the cashier, K. F. Lowder millc, in the vault, made their escape. The men fled toward Candor, turning off into the woods just below Candor and changing into a Chrysler ear with two women who were waiting for them in the other car. Chase was given by citizens of Nor man and was later joined in by offi cers from Richmond and Montgomery I counties. The pursuers were only a few minutes behind the robbers when they abandoned the Buick for the Chrysler. The trace of the bandits ,was,lost in the neighborhood of Troy, and the bandits seem to have made good their escape. Call was put in for W. C. York’s bloodhounds, in Asheboro, when it was found the rob bers had abandoned their car, it not being learned for some minutes that they had taken another automobile, but were thought to be trying to es cape on foot. Hie Robbery Three men in a Buick car drove up and parked on the street in front of the bank at Norman. One remained in the car and kept the motor going. One of the men presented a ten dol lar bill and asked for change. Cashier Lowdermilk looking up after getting the change asked for found himself looking into the muzzles of two re volvers. Hastily scooping up $250 in loose cash lying on the counter in the bank, the bandits pushed Mr. Lowder milk into, the vault, closed the door and drove away. The Lowdermilk home is just, across the street from the bank, and Mrs. Lowdermilk’s sus picions having been aroused by the 'conduct of the trio, went to investi gate the minute they drove away. She found her husband locked in the alarm. A patty formed at once ana gave chase. Mr. Lowdermilk is the brother of Mrs. Eunice Hayworth, Mrs. J, P. Phillips and Mr. S. E. Lowdermilk, of Asheboro.
