Wooden longs for Handling Fuses

Around switchbOards and cutoff
boxes there is frequent need for pull
ing out and inserting fuses, due
the fact that they burn out occasion

fuses with the fingers is sometimes
difficult task, because of the grip WITH
which they are held by the clanpn!
springs. Then, too, the proximity o
other fuses and bare metallic psp

CHECK FLASHING CRANK.

In the Democratic primaries June
3 r, F. Rives. of Staesville. was nomi-
mated for county treasurer of Iredeli
and hasn't that to worry him, but he
has another worry now.
About a week ago he had notice
from the Richmond Grain and PrOvis-
Marshville that the stationery he or
dered would be shipped July 1st. Mr..
Rives had ordered no stationery and
so notified the Union Supply Co. He
learns that some one gave an order
for stationery in his name and paid
for it with a check signed with the
name of T. D. Miller and drawn on
the First National Bank of Statesville.
Later Mr.. Rives received notice
fro mthe Richmond Grain and Provis-
ion Co., of Richmond, Va, that they
could fill only part of his Order-did
not have some Of the things he had Or
dered. Mr.. Rives had given them no
order and on investigation found that
the company had a check signed r. F.
Rives for $8.25 on the First National
Bank.
Next Mr.. Rives had acknowledge
ment of an order given the Progress
sive Farmer of Raleigh for advertis-
ing which Mr.. Rives had not ordered
and knew nothing about. The adver-
Using had been paid for by a check of
the Star Milling Co.. Of StatesvilIe on
the First National Bank for $7.25.
Then came notice from a liquor
house in st. Paul, Mimi, explaining
that they had his check for $3.50 on
| the Commercial National Bank but
they could not ship such a large guam
tity of beer legally. Mr.. Rives had
ordered no beer.
All these mysteries and others sim
liar have mystified MI. Rives. An eff
fort is being made to locate the party
engaged in the work. Mr.. Rives is
Of the opinion it is some crank or
crazy fellow. In the correspondence
MIR. Rives is ~variously addressed at
! S~tatesville, Loray, Jenning and else
where. 1t is hard to see through the
fellows game. None of the checks
are being cashed and Mr.. Rives is not
losing anything. The firms who are
filling the orders on the checks are
not losing their goods for. Mr.. Rives is
refusing them.
So far as he knows, Mr.. Rives says
he hasn't In enemy in the world and
