A posse Of 20 men, with blood
hounds, from Chattanooga and Rome

Summerville and vicinity are wildly
excited, and if the bandits are caught
violence is feared.
The bandits fought a desperate bat
tie in the streets with officers and citi-
zens before they succeeded in blowing
the bank vault.
The explosion that wrecked the
vault aroused practically every one in
Summervllle. The shock was felt dis
tinctly a mile away, according to O.

earthquake.

The bandits rode here in an auto
mobile, stopping on the outskirts,
about midnight. They made a detour
Of the town on foot, cutting the wires,
after which they slipped into the main
street, on which the bank is located.
Pickets were placed in the street
/ leading to the bank. while others of
the gang forced an entrance into the
bank building.
Before the robbers had finished
drilling the heavy steel vault door for
nitroglycerine. with which they blew
it open, they were discovered by Jo-
seph Beavers, who was In a drug
store near by. He turned a flash
light on them from his window. I'M
mediately there was a voIley of shots
fired at him, and he extinguished his
light.

OF Expositions

Washington Sept 4-Within the
past few days it is said that President
Wilson and Secretary Began have
been informed unofficially tl~c Euro
pean countries are beginning to grow
tired of expositions and that fact
figured very largely in the refusal of
some of the nations to participate
in the San Francisco faE.
1t is pointed out that even III this
country each time Congress has been
asked to finance a worlds fair re
sponse has been more and moro re
ductantly given, although lhauy the
requisite millions have been dolf d
out.
Beginning with 1876 the seyera.

!. MOVING IMPORTANT
VEKAL BIG NORTHERN FIRMS
WILL ENTER THE FIELD
THIS WINTER.

That the blue fish industry is con
stantly growing in Importance is dem
onstrated by the fact that several
big northern firms are entering the
field this winter.
One firm alone will have. 26 smacks
fishing off the port of Brunswick dur
ing the season in addition to individu-
al fishermen and should the fisa be
marketed through Brunswick it would
mean a large revenue for the city.
1t is said however, that the big
dealers could not make what they
deemed satisfactory terms for their
supplies and necessary dock facili-
ties in this city and that a major. y
of the fish will be marketed through
either Fernandina or Savannah.
This industry will constantly grow
in Importance on account of the de-
mand for blue fish in the northern
markets and an effort should be made
to secure the business for Bruins
wick.
