employe Of the Ancona mill day or
two ago, "the people out here certain
ly ought to be thankful for mill like
this one to work in. 1t is the best
place to work that I have been and I
have worked at different places in
North Carolina-at Concord and Ka-
napolis-and although the Cannon
company owns the North Carolina
mills, this mill out here beats them
all. The working conditions are good,
the pay is as high as 1t is anywhere,
and they are certainly good folks to
work for, and there is plenty Of work
in sight"

An employe Of one Of the local
mills last week, showed that he was
a real, live edition Of Sherlock
Holmes. The man is employed in the
power room Of the mill and when he
hung up his coat he left in the outside
pocket a watch attached to a chain
through the lapel buttonhole. Later
on another party came in to grind an
axe on the mill grindstone. In the
meantime, the owner Of the watch
left the room. On his return, he no
ticed that his watch was gone. He no
ticed that on the lapel where the chain
passed through the buttonhole, there
were. dust marks that looked like
grindstone dust, evidently left there
by the party who purloined the watch.
The watch owner said nothing Of his
suspicious, but sent for Constable
Peters. He told the officer that his
watch had been stolen and that he
suspected two persons. and felt sure
one Of them was guilty and named
the parties and the reason for his
suspicion. The constable, accom-
panied by the watch owner, approach
ed one of the suspected men, and said
in effect: "This man has lost his
watch, and either you or So-and-So
has 1t. want it and want 1t right
now" II haven't got It," was the re-
ply, but 1 saw him when he took 1t
out of the coat" The watch was re-
covered.
