Feb. fl.-With the (liscovery to-night that of $527,807 'listed as actual cash on hand when the bank closed its doors, $110,000 i was represented by tho personal I checks of the president, C. Hunter i Kaine, now Imprisoned, charged with ?embezzlement, the amount of tho ap 1 parent discrepancy in the accounts of Lne Mercantile Hank here advanced to more than $1.000,000. The exact amount will not be known until the audit being made under the direction 'ot' the State superintendent of banks, is completed. This will require seve ral days. Count of the actual cash In the vaults showed approximately i $52.000.

Rev. Xichojkon Rxplnins His Position as to (TlUptl Meeting Discussions. Edito- <vc?\vee Courier: 1 noticed in yom papfT of December 2 1,'19 13, an article al (lied by C. R. Abercrom bie, M o de ravi)r. and B. YV. .lames, Clerk pro t?in, which sn id, among ' >Yr rfent "Ihe union ,Ul??t- | of the Twelve-Mile River Asso ciation met with Stamp Creek Bap tist church, in Oconee county, on Saturday. November 29, 1913; that in the absence of a program the un ion decided to take un the Six-Mile Baptist Academy first ; that the dis cussion was opened by Rev. S. E. darner and spoken to by Rev. H. A. O'Keliey, Rev. H. P. Wright, and R. W. James. The discussion (the ar ticle said I was opposed by Rev. W. H. Nicholson and J. R. Meece." The Six-Mile Academy was ably discussed by Rev. S. E. Garner, and others touched upon the subject, but principally discussed other matters. 1 do not oppose the discussion of the academy, nor do I oppose the acad emy itself. I proposed that we give a half or three-quarters of an hour to the academy for discussion by \Rev. S. H. Garner or some other able [an, and that the union arrange a ram and have a union meeting, not disappoint the people and fe the good ladles going to the tropic of fixing for the union and coming out in the cold to hear dis cussions asHo the selling of beef, the cuttinV of wood, the apparent extrav aganceW burning wood, and mnnv other e^ngs too numerous to men tion. What \ opposed was, not the dis cussion by\Mr. Garner or others bear ing on theVcademy, but the folly o* indiscriminate, and uncalled for re marks. In iii way pertinent to the point, that wV-e mau? by some oth ers-remarks Mhat certainly could not In any wa>\beiieflt the academy, the union meethW or the association. Contrary to nv being opposed to the free and ope\ discussion of the Six-Mile Academy\ I favor it most heartily, and not o\iy as to this ono Institution, but as \ all others that have a hearing uponVhe educational facilities of our coin\ninity, county and State. The report of the rWting, how ever, has given, in certXin Quarters, an entirely erroneous lmpVesslon, to the effect that both I and Hr, Meece are opposed to the acadenW'g being discussed In the union meetings, when, as a matter of fact.Xhe re verse is true.

WILL BUILD HANDSOME CHURCH Walhalla Presbyterians to He in the Forefront With Modern Structure, That the W* Inalla Presbyterian church is alive io the needs of the denomination here of a new mid modern church edifice is apparent from tile unanimity with which a re cent appeal to the members of the congregation have responded. About two weeks ago the matter was brought up for discussion and con sideration, and to-day there stands as a result a completed fund totaling a little more than $;>.">00, with every assurance that the small amount needed to complete the fund origi nally asked for-il 0,000-will be in hand within the next few nays. Plans have not as yet been decided upon, but it is considered definitely Bottled that before the year 1914 is (dosed the Presbyterians will be oc cupying a handsome $10,000 church. lt is not yet decided positively as t > the location of the new building. The congregation is to be congratulated upon its forward move, and a new and modern church build ing will add materially to the work ing possibilities of the denomination in Walhalla. . Rev. Ceo. M. Wilcox is pastor ol the Presbyterian church. Ile is an energetic pastor and constant work er, his labors having been leading up to a better building for some time past. _ MUST REMOVE CAUSE FIRST. Senat? ?. Veiner Gives His Ideas Rela tive to Social Evil. Columbia, Feb. 9.-Editor Kcowee Courier: At one time 1 wrote letters to The-Courier from this place. I quit because I could not see that any body cared for those letters. I have since learned that at leas, some of your readers, both In and out of the State, do care, and have, therefore, decided to write again. Columbia is much wrought up over the "red light'* part of the city. As a consequence I have re?entl heard two se! mons on the in the Legislature proposing" ways and means to rid the country of such characters. lt appears to me that this subject, like many others dealt with by ministers, law-makers and other professionals, is being mis treated-they seem to be treating the sign ofsa disease instead of the cause of it. In bot li those sermons, and in all those speeches, I do not recall one Single word that will mend the situ ation for the reason that there is nt) proposition to remove the cause and that is the only successful way to treat any malady. What is the cause of this sad. blighting, shame ful, disgraceful, festering sore that ls dragging so many of our youth, both male and female, down to a hell right here on earth? The answer is, the love of money. There are con tributory causes, but "the love of money is the root of all evil." This greed for money, this grinding of the poor to get it, lias made so many mis erable homes that young girls, to bet ter their condition, go out into the world and become the prey of many such brutes as have contributed to their condition and who are waiting Tor the opportunity to make that condition immeasurably worse. You iced not preach to the young to stay in miserable homes and submit to present ills rather than fly to those hey know not of. If von would keep hem at linnie you must make those ionics better. Now, with all our churches, tchools, reformers, law-makers, do ,'ou see any earnest attempt to pro ect this class of people, to help them lave better homes? No, but you see hem pushed harder and harder igainst the wall. The poor man >ays more for the use of money than he rich; the poor man pays more or land than the rh h. "To him hat hath shall more be given"; "to tim that hath not shall be taken tway even that which'he seemeth to ia ve." What goort docs it do to talk about OVlng your neighbor? Who cares or his neighbor? , Why, they don'l ;now their negihhors. and they don't are to know them. If they did, a cw men in this town could remove his great curso in a very short time. Maybe, when the women vote, they viii better things. Who knows? 'hey cannot make it much worse. I am in better health than at any i rev iou s session of the (le?era 1 As ombly. E. E. Vernor.

(Anderson Mail. 9Lu.) John vv. Lee, the Brushy ('reek township farmer who disappeared so mysteriously a few days before Christmas, returned to his home in the county this morning, coming back from Douglass, Ga., accompa nied hy ins father, W. P. Lee, and Edward King, who lives in the same community. Mr. Due was located in Douglass a day or so ago. This was brought about when his daughter received a piece of music through the mails from Douglass, marked as coming from Chas. VV. Spumed. The writing on the music resembled that of Mr. Dee, and investigation was begun. Some of the posters with Mr. Dee's photograph were sent to the Douglass chief of police, and on receipt he wired back that he had located Mr. Dee and for some one to come for bim. Mr. Dee's father and Mr. King reached Douglass yesterday and posi tively identified the missing man. They wired back they would return with the missing man to-day, but their telegram gave no Information as to why Mr. Dee left his home so mysteriously. The missing man with his father and friend arrived in Greenville over the Southern early this morning and they came to Piedmont on the Co lumbia and Greenville train. As they got off the train at Piedmont an au tomobile was waiting for thom and they were carried quietly out to the Lee farm. Mr. Lee appeared about as usual; had very little to say and is said lo have kept his head down, not wishing to be recognized by any one ns he was on the train. Mr. Lee was last seen in Anderson^ where he attended to some business. It was first thought that he had been dealt with in some foul manner, apd five negroes were arrested,, charged with having had something to do with his disappearance. Three of them were freed when the^ magis trate gave them a preliminary fa'. >rought habeas corpus proceedings. Notes from Bounty Land.
