A case of "high finance," involving at least two Columbia banks and one correspondent bank out in the State came to light yesterday. Fortunate ly the amounts are not very large at least not large enough to enibar ia8s any of the institutions involved. As a result of investigations into the facts, lt I8 likely that S. L. Richard son, of Seneca, will be arrested for forgery. At any rate he ls charged with that offense, and it is know n that the offi cers of the law have been on his trail. He was here Friday, hut about the time that hts business methods began to be. investigated he left the city and had not been located up to last night. It appears that Richardson, who has had extensive business interests In the upper part of the State, went to Batesburg a short time ago and declared that he waa contemplating starting a plant there. He is in the lumber business. He presented the very best of references and was re ceived as a good customer. Among other deposits he made at thu bank were some notes to secure a chattel mortgage upon which' he received a loan. It appears that the bank officials for spme reason or other beg?n to grow suspicious and Friday started an investigation. The signers of the alleged notes, some of them In other cities, were telephoned to. No, they had never given Rich ardson the notes. The bank then got busy and tried to stop payment of checks given by the bank to Richard son when he had stated that he wish ed to establish an account In Colum bia. It ls understood that one of the banks in Columbia held quite a lot of this same paper, but Thc State was unable to find the cashier last night to learn to .what extend Rich ardson had dealt, with that bank. However, the uneasy manner In which bank officials have been in quiring at a certain hotel In this city for Richardson gave rise to sus picions. . The story leaked out yesterday from a different source and the facts were put together after making in quiry at various places. Capt. W. M. Carter, of Batesburg, was in the city last night and declined to talk on the matter, but admitted that the bank of which ho ls cashier had been the one Involved In the transaction and that he was over here on that business. He admitted further that the |ia rt les whose names were sign ed on the notes had declared they had never given tho notes, and that such statements had led his hank to institute proceedings. His bank, ho says, ls amply secured on the trans action, but wishes to see tho matter cleared up. The whole amount In volved will be several hundreds of dollars. Richardson Under Arrest. (The State, 24th.) The details of the forgery case. In which S. L, Richardson, of Seneca, is the chief 'actor, came out yesterday morning is the circuit court when a motion was made by Frank G. Tomp kins, attorney, representing the Bank of Batosburg, asking that a tempo rary injunction be issued against the Carolina National Bank of this city, enjoining the local bank from paying out to any person or honoring any chock from S. L. Richardson upon $500 which ls on deposit in C e Caro lina National Bank in Richardson's name. The motion was granted by Judge Gage and the money, which ls. now. on deposit In the Carolina National Bank, cannot be drawn out by check or otherwise until tho matter ls sat isfactorily adjusted In the courts. There wore three notes given to the Batesburg bank by Richardson as follows: One for $983, signed by Wll liamston L. B. R. Company, per E. H. Welborn; ore for $890, signed by W. L. Brlssey. and one for $1,021. signed by Richardson Lumber Com pany, per G. W. Grant. The com plaint states that Richardson repre sented himself as being worth $30; OOO in property, hut that lt had been found out that he is worth less than $1 0,000. and that his debts are prob ably greater than the amount of his assets. Lexington, Nov. 23.-S. L. Rich ardson was placed in arrest in the Lexington county Jail to-day under a warrant charging him with obtaining money under false pretenses. The warrant was sworn out by the Bank of Batesburg, the amount Involved in the transaction being $1.093. Richardson was arrested at his home in West. Union last night by Deputy Sheriff Miller, of this city, and was taken to Augusta at his own request. Richardson had some money In one of the Augusta banks, but the amount was not sufficient to reimburse the Bank of Batesburg for Its losses. Richardson was accompanied here by his lawyer, R. T. Jaynes, of Wal halla, who ls here ror the purpose of arranging matters to the satisfac tion of al] parties concerned. Sheriff Coleman, of Columbia.wired Sheriff. Corley to hold Richardson to day. When soon hy the representa tive of The State, Richardson to night refused to have nnything to say about the charges against him. Unclnimcd Letters.

How can the South (the Farmer) reduce his living expense and at the same time create a higher market for his products. One way is by using the products of Cotton Seed-Cooking Oil to cook with, Cotton Seed Meal ?or horses, hogs and Hulls for horses and cattle. We would say that there are about 20,000,000 people in the South, and five to thc family, making 4,000,000 families, each using J 00 pounds of hog lard per year at a cost of 1J cents per pound, equals $U. One-third less is required when using Cooking Oil, or 66 2-3 pounds at 8 cents per pound, equals $5.36 per year to the family, a saving of $5.64, and a saving to the South of $22,560,000. Come to see us and we will show you a nice horse that has been eating Cotton Seed Mea! with every meal he has had, and has been at it for six months. Man did not find the horse eating corn any more than he found him eating Cotton Seed Meal. Corn has about 15 per cent Portine and Meal about 42 per cent Portine. 2,000 POUNDS OF COTTON SEED WILL BUY FROM US 2,000 POUNDS OF 8.75-2-2 STANDARD GUANO. WE EXCHANGE TON FOR TON.
