Kings Mountain Democrat, Decem-
ber 10: We are reliably Informed that
on Monday morning last, the work OF
pulling the pumps at the Sulphur mine
near Grouse, was begun and the work
will be completed as early as possi-
BILE. The operation Of this mine has
for a long time been source of great
benefit to the surrounding community
and the fact that the mine is now to
shut down will be received with much
regret. Mr.. Putnam, who has been at
tending the pumps, and through whom

night for Atlanta, where he has ac-
cepted a position with an oil mill
Others are scattering off and the mine
will soon be a deserted looking place.

who .farmed over about Earl, this sum-

South Carolina, was tried as an ac-

home here at one Of the mills where he
had but recently moved to. The next
day after the burglary. about noon.
