(Becoming Glasses Cost No More) KERR GETS MONEY, BUT? | c HE LOSES IT AGAIN q h I Bank Makes Mistake in Cashing MaP son 'Check and Refund is ? Demanded. a . 4 Last Wednesday we had something . to say of the "pernuters" of one * Frank W. Mason, especially of one of - his aforesaid acts relating to the pur- . 1 chase of a refrigerator from Corp. . Kerr, Emporium Prop., * of North Main, also Corp. (f the Dutch Kolone who promises us that he will sell furs niture even cheaper than last week 5 when you could get it at fifty on the ? J dollar, the new reduction carrying he price down to cost, or in that ' neighborhood. . ' Well, the Corp. has not yet deliv- r 7 J ered the refrigerator, nor has the ( wire merchant delivered the wire, nor j the grocery merchant his groceries, ^ but all of the merchants are still holding Frank's checks. The fact is that Frank lied at so many places on j Ferrv Street that he has about dis- . fc proved the theory that one baiy can , be in one place only at one and the " same time. However, Frank is not ^ ^ no won Ferry Street a1, any of the ^ addresses. ^ But we started to tell about the I J troubles in which the Corp. no^ finds r " himself. It happened this way: All the other check holders sent their J checks in for collection, but the Corp. - being the first sucker to bite, sent 1 his in first. By some mistake the ' bank cashed the Corp's check -which ' i Frank had given him, and Thursday a , the Corp's overdraft stand notified ^ i him to come down and pay ten cents r 11 collection charges and get his money. ^ , This the Corp. immediately borrowed e I from his grocery merchant, Col. Dale * Barksdale, the latter letting him ^ - have the dime on the promise that the * proceeds of the check would be put 11 on the overdue grocery account at Col. Barksdale's store. Well, the ? Corp. got his money, he thought, and 4 ; while he was standing around on the ^ )'street bragging about it, and about t ! being fifteen dollars ahead, the wire c .} merchant applied to Chief Justice Bob McComb, and through his at- s torney, Judge M. E. Hollingsworth, a secured an attachment on the fifteen, a with an order forbidding the Corp. * to pay it out. When Col. Barksdale 8 ill a few minutes applied to the Corp. * for the proceeds of the check to put ^ on the grocery account, according v ( to promise, the Corp. showed him the . order of Judge McComb forbidding v . him to pay the money out. This com- v . pletely flabbergastered Col. Barks- ^ I dale who saw immediately where his * dime had gone, so he went back to ^ , his store and raised the price of wat- *ermelons a half cent per pound to ^ make the dime back. At the same y time he applied to Judge McComb ^ ana secured a warrant against the ? Corp. for getting the dime unde^ c false pretenses. This went on Friday, *1 but Saturday morning the Corp. did not feel so well, because in his morning mail, the said overdraft estab- h lishment dropped him a note saying tl that he had gotten money out of it E by passing a "bum" check, and that A the money must be paid before 9:30 N or the matter would be reported to C the Amalgamated Co-operative Exelusive Collection and Adjustment a Agency, and heroic action taken eo R instant!. The agency and collection a part of the letter did not disturb the ^ Corp. but the eo imtanti did, so he 1? J xi- x^ ia/ua. cuts uiuiiey xits xiau gutuen on tne f check to the bank and returned it R and begged its pardon for any seem- ^ ing slack-twistedness in his way of w doing a banking business. This soon got out and the wire merchant seeing 5 that he was about to be left out in the cold, once more applied to Judge McComb who had made the order the money must be held until "further notice," whereupon Judge Mc- t] Comb issued his order to the Corp. ? as follows: ^ "An order having been made by Cl i this honorable court forbidding J. 1 D. Kerr, of the Furniture Emporium, ^ I from paying out the proceeds of his S( ' Frank Mason check, and it being ^ made to appear to this honorable 0 court that he has paid said money to a ' the bank on its demand without so ^ much as asking the permission of ^ this court with much disdain, now on motion of Judge M. E. Hollingsworth, chimney corner lawyer and special adviser on pad checks, it is solemnly "ORDERED that the said Corp. S \ Kerr be forthwith served with an or- a j der commanding him to humbly ap- d pear before me and show cause, if s any he can, why he has disobeyed the c 1 orders of this honorable court, and n | why he should not be attached for p ontempt of this court and be i uired to pay a fine of about o undred dollars." On top of all this it is stated tl he Corp. has sold the refrigerat riiich he is to deliver to Frank mother party and has taken anotli ' fnrrin" />Vipf?lr frtr the full nripp. a t is now said that Mrs. Frank v, >e in town this week to get the goc rrank bought for her, and that s s red-headed and says that she is j ng to have the refrigerator whi ?rank bought or the Corp. will < )lain why. It is also said that the Corp. ihinking of going to the mounta .'or nervous prostration, indigestii ind several other diseases and tl le will let Roy Power and Sam J ^uen explain matters to Mrs. Frai rhe Corp. said this morning^ at >'clock, "I tell you things are g ing hellish hot around here," and nan ought to be in the mounta: it this season of the year anyway.

Fitzgerald July 29.?Eight freight cars and a locomotive were derailed by an explosion of dynamite on Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad tracks near Bushnell, in Coffee county, fourteen miles east of Fitzgerald, at ll':15 o'clock last night. No one was hurt but property damage estimated around $5,000 was done. It was reported this morning that tracks would be cleared in time not to delay any other trains. Officials of the company would make no statement in regard to the probable guilty parties. A wrecking -train went from Fitzgerald to clear the track. This is the second A. B. and A. freight train to be dynamited this week. The first was at Hatley, near Cordele. _ Colonel B. L. Bugg, president of the A. B. and A R. R., said at 11 o'clock Friday morning that, so far as he knew, the derailing of part of a iiaui iicai .Duaimcii 111 vuiiec tuuuty, at 11:15 o'clock Thursday night, was the first instance of a successful derailing 'by dynamite, which seems to have been placed on the track with the cap arranged so that the front weels of the locomotive would detonate it. "The engine and eight cars were | derailed," he said, "but no one was injured. The track was not badly damaged and the line should be clear by noon. The case is being investigated. Up to this hour there have been no arrests that I have been apprised of." \ MAN OF ANDERSON DROWNS IN RIVER Anderson, July 28.?I. Z. Bagwell, a young man, 25 years old, was dorwned last night at Middleton's shoals on the Savannahri ver. A party of ten men from Pelzer had gone there to seine, and Mr. Bagwell was holding one side of the seine, when he stepped into a hole and disappeared. He came up once, but the men were unable to get him out of the very swift water at this point. The body of Mr. Bagwell has not been found, althugh the sheriff has sent out parties to search the river. It was at this same point that Oscar Dodson was drowned a few years ago. The shoals here are very rough and there are many deep holes: Mr. Bagwell was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lon Bagwell of Pelzer. He was only recently married. A Pest in The Mountain*. Keowee Courier. The Mexican 'beetle, mighty pest, of beans and peas, has been found near Long Creek by the inspector of the Bureau of Entemology, M. H. Atwood, Mr. Atwood and Mr. Jeffries, of the department of agriculture, have (been scouting from Birmingham along the mountains to this county and, will probably go from here to Pickens county. The Mexican beetle multiplies at an enormous rate and has traveled the distance from Birmingham to the mountains here at a rapid rate. The (beetle is proving disastrous to the bean and pea crops of Birmingham and vicinity, and at that place the government is conducting tests on poisoning to control the pest, all remedies so far proving ineffective. The beetle has 16 black spots and is nearly round in shape, being about the size of a potato bug. The young are yellowish, with spines projecting from the body. Work is done on the under side of the leaf. They do not seem to enjoy velvet beans an English peas. The beetle prefers the mountainous country. WVVVVV V V vvvvv V v V SHARON V 1 v V !

Greenwood, July 3!.?When re- V treat is counded on September 13 Bailey Military Institute will inau- * gurate her greatest session in every . respect. Plans are being made to have the greatest opening the school has ever experienced. V Applications are pouring into the office on every mail and among them are many promising athletes. Up to the present time more football and baseball men of experience have enrolled than have been received at this time any other year. Everything points to a very successful year on I the gridiron. The athletics director has expressed his intention of changing Bailey's policy of playing colleges and expects to leave all colleges off the schedule this coming season. While Bailey's team will command the respect of any college team in the state all efforts will be concentrated on winning the preparatory championship of Georgia, 4 North and South Carolina. The best high school teams will be brought to play in Greenwood and the cadets * and people of Greenwood will have the opportunity to see football this coining fall which will be wellworthy of the name of football. The schedule at the present time is not complete but games are pending with Porter Military Academy, Wofford Fitting School, University of South Carolina, Freshman Team, Carolina Military and Naval Academy, Bingham School, Ashevllle J School for Boys' Riverside Military Academy, Georgia Military Academy. From the above number Bailey hopes to emerge at the end of the season the undisputed champions of . , the three states mentioned above.
