THE LATEST IN HIGH FINANCE.
Bateeburg Bank Said to Have lt.<
Victlrot-Columbia Hanks Also.
(The State, Nov. 23.)
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.

STOP AND THINK!
Here is Something WortH Your
THoug'Ht and Attention !
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.
WE PAY THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE FOR COTTON SEED.
