RoRhzR cAueHIIN STORE

When Fred E. Smith, Jr., went into
the store Of his father f. E. Smith, at
Trzah shortly after midnight Tuesday
to get an automobile tire patch for
Otis Boyd and Frank Caldwell an un-
known man demanded that he halt
there Smith did just that while Boyd
and Caldwell who were in the store
made a break for the door, Covering
Smith with his pistol the stranger who
had gained admission by. the back door,
backed out of the store and made his
way to his waiting automobile near the
home Of ]. NJ. Campbell several hun
dred feet away. He drove hurriedly
away in the direction Of Rock Hill.
Boyd and Caldwell with. Tom Myers
and George Williams, Jr., of Yorkvi]le,
had been to Rock Hill and had tire
trouble on the way back home. Stop
ping at Tirzah they encountered Mr..
Smith who had also been in Rock Hill.
Going to the store for a tire patch
the fact that the back door was open
was noted but Mr. Smith was under
the impression that his father had
probably left the door unlocked. Hardly
had the three young men gotten into
the building when the command to
halt" came from room in the rear of
the store in which the telephone is 10
Gated. Boyd and Caldwell paid no at
tention to the command but made for
the door. Mr. Smith threw up his
hands while the robber with q flash
light in one hand and his pistol in the
other backed toward the rear door and
into the darkness.
In n short time he diSa appeared in an
automobile which had been left by the
road side near the home of Mr.. Camp
bell and which the boys had noted. The
car was either Chevrolet or an over
land, according to Mr.. Smith. : .s.'
Examination of the store stock re-
vCaled that the would be robbcr had laid
out somo shirts and. caps, g, The cash
register had not been tampcred with. Ii
was evident that the burglar had not
gotten on the side of the store where
the register was kept. A number OF
two cent stamps on the register drawer
had not been touched. -"
Although he had a pistol in his
pocket at the time the burglar gave his
command, young Mr.. Smith very pru-
dently made no effort to draw It,
Because Of the flash light which the
burglar threw in his face the young
man could not distinguish fully the
features of the man. He is sure, how
ever that he was white man.
The senior Mr.. Smith is quite posi-
tive that the back door was locked
when the store was closed for the
night
Officers and others are following up
n number of clues. '.

There is probably no other function
in ail America that is of more far
reaching Importance TO the veal or
woe of the American people than the
government of the Federal Reserve
board. 1t. is in the power of this board
to make credits tight or easy as 1t sees
proper, or as may suit the financial
viewpoint OF the element by which it
is Dominated Before the, creation of
the Federal Reserve system American
credit was under" the control of what
is commonly designated las Wall street
interests, meaning that powerful or
ganization of private capital that CEN
tres in New York. The fundamental
idea of the Reserve bark was to trans
fer thisGpS8ef from private discretion
and respSnsiMlity to goyetnmcntal re-
sponsibility-thiso on the theory that a
thing so vast as the veal or woe OF
this great nation should not be even
within possible private domination.
During the past two years there has
been widespread conviction through
out the whole nation that the same
private interests that formerly con-
trolled are now controlling, even more
effectively and with as little RESPONSE
bility through. the medium of the duly
constituted representatives of the gov
erEment. This is the meaning of ef-
forts on the part of the United States
to bring about redistribution of the in
dividuality in which capital is vested
Theoretically the senate is correct;
but the mighty question in connection
with it all is the possibility of Great
ing human machinery that will carry
out the great function sought with
Just impartiality TO all interests and
all sections
