the quarry district usually result in the
theft of valuable brass fittings and parts
that 90 TO equip the quarry machinery
To such an extent has the practice of
stripping machinery OF its brass fittings
grown in both WebstcryilIe and Gran
iteville that the owners are making Il
concerted effort to thwart the purposes
of the petty thieves Within the present
week well-known Graniteville quarry
was raided and some Of its machinery
was left without so much as an ounce of
brass. 1t is suspected that the thieves
are wont to market their loot among
the pcdlers who frequent that vicinity
and local officers. at the request of the
quarry owners, have been watching ped
lers proceeding from the hill. with the
idea of locating some Of the stolen prop

One of the men who lost rather heaV.
lily as a result of Wednesday nights |
heavy rain and hail storm was A. NJ |
Flanders, dealer in bicycle and automo-
bile sundries. who has his headquarters |
in the basement of the Nichols block |
To-day Mr.. Flanders had small gang
of men working to remove the deposits |
Of alluvum washed into the basement |
by the little river that flowed down |
through North Main street when the
storm was at the height of its fury. A
fortunate forethought had impelled the
to elevate several of his most
valuable bicycles to point several feet /
above the floor level This precaution
saved him .the loss of the
wheels, as the mud and water rose to a
evel of II inches on the basement foor.
Loose and portable articles drifted into
,very corner of the shon and some were
ruined by the flood,
