far. for four yeggmen who early this
morning blew open the safe in the Of
fee of Lipscomb Russell company

attempt at a getaway, but were forced
TO drop the loot after they were fired

their escape. The officer engaged In a
running pistol duel with one OF the gang

HERE AND THERE

There was a pretty good piece OF
road work done on the Kings Noun
tain road, from the corporate limits OF
Yorkville to the corporate limits OF
Fflbert, last Friday afternoon and Sat
urday. It was done mainly by Mr.. w.
r Keller with a road plow, drawn by
a tractor. The road>had gotten in bad d
shape. 1t was lopsided, bunny ana
poorly drained. 1t has been very
much improved over the whole three
miles in a very short time. OF course
it is not to be understood that 1T is
anything like satisfactory. 1t Is better
than it was, and from what has been
done in such short time 1t Is easy 70
see what can be done with a little
more time.

The three big seaplanes in which
United States navy avlators VIII at.
tempt a flight across the Atlantic Will
"hop Off for Newfoundland on the
first leg of their journey at Z O'CLOCK
this morning if weather permits, II
was officially announced at the Rocka-
way Beach naval training station sun
day. The first stop on the fight 10
Newfoundland is scheduled for Hal
flax, N. S., $40 nautical miles from
Rockaway Beach. The fliers expect to
reach Halifax by 3 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. After lying there over
night they will fly early Wednesday
morning to Trepassey, the Newfound-
land base of the flight expedition. AT
Trepassey the big planes will line up
for their across-the-water attempt,
probably remaining in Trepassey Bay
for ten days-"may be less or may
be little longer" the announcement
by Commander Towers, expedition
leader said. There will be no cere-
monies or fuss when the time ar
rives Tuesday morning for the hop
off, at Rockaway. The public will be
excluded from the area adjacent to the
planes moorings and a strictly bust
ness getaway will be made. The
planes will travel about 63 knots an
hour, which was said to be "comfor-
table cruising speed" At the start
the American flag will flutter at the
tail of each plane, and the American
Jack at the front, but they Will be
taken in Immediately after the hop
off, as they would be whipped to|
shreds by the rushing wind. Our
three entries are all ready to go ex-
cept that the NC-1 and the NC-4 Will
be given further tests tomorrow" said
C,p * nj
tirely ready Each Of the machines
will carry $4,000 pounds from Rocka-
way when we start. We will get what
fuel we need at Halifax, as ships have
already dropped gasoline there. We
shall carry five gallons of drinking wa
ter on each plane, in addition to 20
gallons for the radiators. The person
al effects of each man OF the crew Will
be limited to five pounds including a
tooth brush, comb and brush, shirt,
shaving kit, fresh underclothes and
socks There will be no additional ac-
commodations for even a pocket knife.
Our trip, with the exception Of very
short distance. will be over or on the
water. The only time we expect to fly
over land is when we go over the
southern tip of Cape Cod. We plan to
keep in touch with Washington the
same as any ship in the navy. We
have tested our instruments and they
have demonstrated that we shall be
able to keep up land communication
during the greater part of our trip"
The assignment Of the crews to the
three planes will be definitely an
nounced tomorrow, Commander Tower
said. Although there will be no
change in the personnel announced
several days ago, Commander Towers |
said he was not yet able to state which
crew would go on which plane. The
NC-1 was given two test flights, TAX !
ing II passengers on the first and IL
on the second. Officers said the flights
were most satisfactory"

The tank failed to function yester-
day. It was said to be out Of repair.
Some people accepted the sseeement
without much question. Others were
disposed to suggest that the reason the
tank did not function was that the
bond buyers were not functioning.
"The information, says the Chester
News, that bids will be opened for the
construction Of the Saluda road from
Chester to the York county line, IN the
direction of Rock Hill, is excellent
news and the actual construction OF
the road will be welcomed by hum
dreds of people. The road between
Chester and Rock Hill is in very pad
condition and has been for some time
mast. It is understood that York
county authorities expect to begin
work on the road from Rock Hill 70
the Chester county line at an early
kdate. A concerted effort should also
be made to get the road in good con,
dition between Chester county line ana
Columbia. Certain parts of the ROAD
between Chester and Columbia are al
most impossible.

The man who hesitates about buying
Victory bonds for fear there will be a
shrinking in the currency volume with
the result Of making money more diff
ficult to get, should remember that just
ia proportion to the extent Of this
trend, the value Of the Victory bonds
will bs enhanced. There is not q safer
or more attractive investment in the
world today than the Victory bond.

While Of course America would like
for Germany to sign the peace treaty
promptly, we do not imagine that Eng
land, France and Italy care whether
she signs or not. In case Of any dilly-
dallying on the part Of Germany, Eng
land and France will at once begin to
extend their areas Of occupation, and
of course eventually Germany will be
forced to sign terms that will be still
more onerous than those now offered.
Somehow we think the Germans have
too much sense to hold out to the dan
ger point.
