Evea tiie new.spapei's carry numerous paragraphs spread ing the glad tidings that still more factories have provided employment for a few thousand needy workers. If this keeps on, it won’t be long before tin cans, socks and deposit l)oxes will disgorge their idle funds, money will go to work again, jobs will be plen tiful and business will boom. And when that time arrives won’t these sandhills hum? In an article entitled “Happy Days Will Come Again” in October Harper’s Elmer Davis points out that the sage and prudent who passed up iheir chance to see the world during the last boom, only to see their savings wiped out bj’ the depression, will nev er be fooled that way again. Just as soon as they are able they will go places and .see things as never before. This great and glorious section of ours will surely attract its lion’s share of the vast number who will resume the pursuit of peace, pleasure and prosperity, so let the knockers and crepe hangers wrap their hammers in the somber cloth they have been trailing about for the past two years and consign them to obli vion, and when ever Old Man Gloom {ippears in our midst let’s all make it our duty to soak him in the solar plexus with the spirit of good cheer.

Sixteen men connected with the rob. beries are now serving sentences of from three to five years in State Pris- Inn, a seventeenth, the alleged ring j leader of the gang, has recently been I apprehended and is in jail awaiting trial, and four more persons, two men i and two women, are in jail charged 1 with breaking and entering, larceny ! and larceny and receiving stolen prop- ' ert.v. Officers are on the trail of two more. Mr. Hendrick has been in business in (’ameron since 1!>2I. His store is lo cated just off the main street of the village, but within easy speaking dis- I tance. The building is of cement block 'construction, one story, with two small windows in the rear, a double door in front, each section of which has two long, narrow panes of glass. Over the door are two sections of glass, and the two front windows are composed! of several medium-sized paiie.s. The interior is unique both as to content and arrangement. The stock is made up of everything imaginable from .lapanese parasols and oil wicks to fresh vegetables and cosmetics, with clothing, (Ir.v goods and hai'dware rowded here and there. Perhaps it is this wide variety that makes the store so popular. The RohluTies Start !'or the first few years, the busi- ! ness went well, but thirteen months ' ago the story chanj^ed. It was at this time that the first robbery of any conse(iuence occuri’ed. Entrance was conse(iuence occuri'ed. Entrance was gained l>y lireaking the glass in a rear I window. \ second visit soon followed, i this time through the other rear win dow, by removing a i>ane of glass. .Mr. Hendi’ick then ad'leii heavy wire fencing to reinforce the glass win- i (lows. j The third entrance was through a j front window. The window was re-1 paired by nailing boards over the op-1 ' ening and stout wire fencing some six ; feet in width was securely fastened all around the inside >if both front; windows. The door was chosen for en trance number four. A section of glass j ; was bi'oken and the intruders reached 1 within and tripped the night latch, j I Calling- his ingenuit.v to his aid, the harassed man removed the knob from ; the lock on the inside of the <loor and ; fastenc-d a five-inch scjuare of iron 1 ovjr the entire lock. So far, so good; the robbers were baffled, but not ! outdone. Going to the rear again, they i effected entrance number five by dis- I jiosing of both glass and wire at a ; win'low. The next time, the other ! rear window was the pnini ,of attack. I Mr. Hendrick then placed heavy wood- I en shutters over the rear windows, in j addition to the wire and glass, and I so far the combination has stood. I On the seventh visit the thieves 1 broke the glass from the other sec- I tion of the front door and with screw drivers removed the part of the lock I that the bolts slide into. I This completed the season’s robber- I ies and a check-up revealed that the ! store was short a thousand dollars. I worth of goods. | I Silk Hosiery Popular j j “They just mop up on silk hosiery,” j I the merchant said, in discussing the articles in greatest demand. Shirts,, I shoes, dresses, overcoats and cigar-1 ! ettes are other favorites. The biggest ' I haul made at any one time was val-. j ues at $.'500. j j Through the efforts of officers from three counties, a band of seventeen I thieves was rounded up in Chatham county several months ago, and an almost unbelievable quantity of goods located which had been taken from the store of Mr. Hendricks and from others in this section. Much of this was restored to the owners. It was in this round-up that the sixteen now serving time were taken and the sev enteenth, according to members of the ' gang, filled a trunk and escaped into j South Carolina. > Mr. Hendricks believed that the' seven robberies were the work of this i gang and had hopes of relief after' their capture. Six week ago a little shop which he had fitted up for his daughter in a small room of the building was en- i tered and a case of silk underwear which had not been opened was tak-1 their being stolen. Four .\re Arrested On the tenth visit, heavy iron bars were used in prying the door open and one section was wrenched from | the hinges and left standing .outside. .Silk hosiery labels bearing the deal er’s name led to the capture .')f four during the past week, who are thought to have committed the last three rob beries. They were using a point in Richmond county as a distributing point, the women being engaged in this (Kti 1. of the bu«'ness. A third man was shot and trai.''d for some dis tance by the blood, and officers hope to get him and one more thought to be imiilicated. Ill the meantime, Mr. Hendrick is devising ways and means for carrying on his business, for he is no quitter, but he is considering trying unlocked dooi s with a sign, “Come in and help vourself.” Mrs. A.
