Concern
The Carolinian, ut St. Mat tin ws,
says:
A prominent Calhoun county iariner,
in the opinion ot Sherili F. F.
Hill, came near losing $7,000 one
day last week m what the sheriit
thinks to bo an attempt* d swindle on
the part of two men, J. F. Smith and
J. M. Anderson, who claim to be
lrom Noth Carolina. The two met.
were arrested by Sherirt Hill soon
aft?r the Calhoun county man had
turned over to them $7,000 in liueity
Bonds, which, the bond owner
says, was to be held by the two men
i as security for stock purchased in a
Texas concern by the farmer.
The salesmen, one of whom formerly
canvassed this county selling
stock in a fish concern in Virginia,
approached the fanner and suggested
* that he subscribe to stock in the
Texas concern to the amount of
000, and agreed to take Liberty bonds
for this amount, have them trans-,
ferred to the company they repre-i
sented and have the company hold
the bonds as security for the stock.;
The farmer agreed to the transaction n
and turned the bonds over to thei
salesman. I
The bonds were brought to St.
Matthews by the two men, accompanied
by the farmer, and were trans-1
ieired in blank, the salesmen claim- j
irip t hat this Drocedure was necessary
?c *
in order that the bonds might be held i
as security tor the stock. The cashier
ot the local bank where the transfer
was made became suspicious ol the
strangers, however the alacrity with
which the farmer agreed to the transfer
so clearly indicated that the deal:
bad been thoroughly investigated anu I
was above reproach that the cashiern
made the transfer without comment.
Shortly after the two men had |:
left this county Solicitor A. J. Hy- i
Irick was informed of the deal and i
immediately began an investigation.
He ascertained that the men were
doing business in St. Matthews with<
ut a license and he, accompanied by :
Sheriff Hill, began a search for the:
two men and the bonds. Their chaseb

armed, were arrested ut 4 o'clock a. j

was found on their persons.
Sheriff Hill went to the room oe-j
cupied by the men at the Jeffetsonj;
hotel, accompanied by the hotel de-i,
, tective, aroused the occupants and1
informed them they were under ar-;;
rest. The men appeaerd very much I:

were absolutely fair. However, the

will be re arrested when located.
The money found in the pillow of
one of the men was returned to St.

whiskey bottle was also in evidence.

RETURNS AFTER 30 YEARS
Editor Herald: Captain and Mrs.
E. H. Sturgeon and daughter, Hattie
Louise, of Savannah, Ga., are visiting
their relatives, the .McDonalds, Wallaces
and Wiggins in this vicinity.
Captain Sturgeon stales* that he,
alter an absence of thirty years, is
glad to come hack among the people
ol this state. Having come from
Georgia, "the Empire State of the
South," he will ever be proud that
he was born in South Carolina, having
run among the hrst trains that
e\er blew a whistle through this part
of Carolina, which today claims the
distinction us the "Great Pee Dee
llelt," producing more corn, cotton
and tobacco per acre than any spo.
in the United States.
Captain and Mrs. Sturgeon state
thaf if ic inrtoorl nno nf tho ereatPSt
trips of their lives?having the opportunity
of visiting those near and
dear to them and shaking hands with
old remembered friends; and still
more proud to walk the streets of
Dillon, the town that will always be
ptoud of having borne a 6an who
sleeps in Flander's Field. "He is
not dead but liveth," as he who
gives up his life for his country, never
dies.
Miss Hattie Louise, their daugh-1
ter, requests that the fallowing
lines be written in memory of John
H. David, who gave his life for his;
Country's sake:
i
"He bled, O Lord, to make us free,
He fought the light! He did not
shirk.'*
TWO FATHEltS
In a certain land were two fathers.!
Each father possessed the sense
inaccurately described as common and
each was determined that his son
should, by reason ot his father's fore-<
sight, lind life wholesome and pleasant.
Their goals were identical, but
iheir methods entirely different.
One father set about the task of
accumulating a great fortune. Said
lit' "I do not prize weaun ior myself;
my son is my greatest treasure.
But I will toil early and late to accumulate
a fortuue so that at my
death he may inherit the whole of ii
and thereafter enjoyed the sweets of
lile."
In the pursuit of this ambition the
father was kept from his son through \
many days, and the son, as sons will,
sought other comrades. After many
years the father died, leaving the for-1
tune in accordance with his plan. The
son mourned as deep as one can
mourn ior a father with whom he is
not well acquainted, and then set
about enjoying the good things provided
lor him. Let it be saul to hi.
credit that he lultilled his father's
wishes and got a dollar's worth of
fun from each dollar scattered to the
winds. When the fortune was gone I
he found a task for which his inexperience
fitted him and later becamt
an excellent bricklaver and a goo
citizen.
The other father, equally tie .
mined thai his son should enjoy the
good things of life, devoted his energies
to that end. fle toiled early and
late to earn bread and clothing 1
his household, but permitted In...

WINDFALL OF WINK
I
Tlx- town of Van Wyck. just across
tlx* Seaboard railroad in Lancaster
county was completely lit up during
Saturday and Sunday, says the Yorkville
Enquirer. and (he informalion
yesterday was that it was still suff<
ring l'rotn one t?ig headache while
the police court was engaged in inquiring
into numerous disturbances
and imposing tine and other penalties
lor disorderly conduct.
The wrecking of a big tank of
scuppernong wine that was trying to
get through the town on its way to
St. Louts uuder the name of grape
juice, was the cause of the trouble.
By some kind of an accident the car
jumped the track at Van Wyck earily
Saturday morning and had to be left
there. Either as the result of the

sprung a leak, and although at first
they did not know what it was, the
good people of Van Wyck began try-,
ing to save as much waste as pos-j
sble. The trick could have been,
quickly and easily accomplished by]
means of a wooden plug trimmed toi
fit the hole; but nobody seemed to i
think of that. It seemed more prac-,
ticable to catch the escaping fluid in,
barrels, tubs, buckets and the like,|
and pretty soon every container of;
whatever sort that would hold quid
was full.
I Hut long before the containers
were full, attracted by the odor and
appearance there were those who had
begun to taste, and from the apparent
pleasure that they seemed to derive

others included many vho had never
been known to look on the wine when
it was red; but then surely it was
no harm to drink grape juice. With-,
in a little while the people werej
singing like birds and within a littlej
while more they were roaring like
lions and then before anybody could
epxlain they were braying like asses,
and fighting like dogs and cats.
In response to a riot call Sheriff.
Hunter of Lancaster arrived 011 the
scene during Saturday morning and,
after doing what he could to com-1
pose as many fights as possible, he
went to pouring out the salvage. He
turned over numerous tubs and water
buckets, and emptied many barrels?emptied
all in sight, until the

of his son and sharing the wisdom
that had come to hint with the

AlVr many years lie died, leaving
a debt and a Rood name. The son
mourned him as one mourns a comrade.
Thou he bcRan the task o!
paying his father's debts. With the
debt cleared he said to himself: "1
owe a greater debt to my father. 1
most be worthy o! him and acquit myself
in a manner that will justify his
faith and care."
Poverty and ambition spurred him
to industry, and while si living to

ORGANIZATION NEKDKI)
Dumbarton Kobesonian.
I After much argument about it and
about, the announcement is gravely
> made that thp cotton grower must!
work out his own salvation. In that
very line stand all the peoples of the
earth, so no one need be alarmed. If
the Southern cotton grower is to be
saved lie must savP himself. Nobody
is going to help him out of his distress
over demoralization of the cotton
market until be develops some organized
inclination to help himself,
spinkers advised at a meeting in Ualeigii
the other day. If the Southern
cotton growers will organize they
can get whatever they want. But as
single units tin ; will be kicked
around to the end of the chapter. It
is an old story but it will bear repeating.
Von remember how the
traveler from the North was tilled
with admiration at the skill with
which his negro driver handled his
whip. Driving along, he'd tlick off
a leaf or a fly with such ease that
his skill seemed almost uncanny. They
passed a hornet sitting on a mst.
The hornet and nest offered a fair
target and the Northern man asked
why he did not try his skill on them.
"Nali suh." said the driver. " a leaf
am a leaf and a fly am a tly, but a
hornet's nest am a organization."

SPARKS CIRCUS MENACJEItlE
A YERITAIJLK KINPEKOAKDEN
There is one little girl in the world
who scorns the costliest ot dolls and
all other playthings dear to the heart
of the average child?even the largest
of teddy bears holds no special charm
for this little Miss, and at that she is
just as human as any little girl on
earth.
There's a reason. She is a child
of the circus?a child worshipped by
every member of the big Sparks Circus
family. Polly Vanderbilt is the
name of this dainty little hidy and
the reason that the average plaything
means nothing in her young life is
because at the present time the
Sparks Menagerie presents somewhat
of u kindergarden appearance?in
fact babies are here, there and everywhere,
so you see little Polly has netpick
of real live babies to play with?
even thought some of them are
rather ungainly in appearance.
Take for instance the babv camel,
born to Soudan recently in London.
Out., or Beloit, the baby kangaroo.
\vho~by the way bears the distinction
of being the first born in tin- I'liiied
States. Next came a litter of kittens
or rather cubs to Mary, a real Asiatic
; lioness, and not to be outdone by tinother
members of the animal colony
iof Sparks Menagerii, Java, a monkey
belonging to the tribe of that name,
'gave birth to lour healthy youngsters
jduring the recent visit ol the circus
[ to Chicago. As it has been a lifeit
inn- custom of the circus to name its
(babies after the various cities in
(which they are horn, Louis Iteed. tin
i Menagerie Superintendent. was tit Ins
j wit's end in selecting suitable mimes
(for this happy family until some one
j suggested the name.- of tin- suburbans
;adjacent to Chicago and the youngsters
were christened with the following
illustrious names?Chicago,
Evanston, (Jury and Waukegan.
I Is it any wonder that the .sparks
Menagerie one of more than ordi

'such a variety of pels to plav with,

^ Mr. Editor: As 1 have not seen
. anything ironi our burg in some time.
j ] i tnougnt i wouia let you near lrom
1 us. As we are otf here at the north
t!stde of our county, it seems like we
v are not often thought of, but we are
' u people just the same. Things have
been very lively of late but now the
second primary is over 1 guess they
will quiet off some.
We are gathering our cotton right
fast and tne hum of the gin of our
11 enterprising townsman, J. F. Berry,
is heard late and early. It seems
that not much seed is being sold and
e no cotton.
* Our school at Bingham will open
^ or. the 2uth.
s| Mr. Editor, we thought we would
not have anything to say about our
k' public roads this time, but it seems
e like we can't help saying a few
v words. We know that the road plows
" j were on our roads some time ago,,
but the good accomplished was very
[little. Where the roads were good
I they made them better, but where
j they were bad they did but littWu
good. We want to ask a favor of.
s'our friend, Mr. Adams. We want
11 j him to divide time with us and it
' 'lie won't build us a gravel road,
I please send and do one of two thinge.
" j for us: Either till tip some of the
I holes on two of our leading roads
'"lor curb them so we will not fall in
111them, for when we gel in we want
s to get out.
"I Mr. Editor, don't you think that
| the government report is too high?
il know that we have ? weed large
[enough but the fruit is not on the
? . tU* ffiaat
)- | \Vl'6(l clIlCI inert IS U IUI Ui uik 11 m??
h, t hitt is not developed. About th?
sjlirst of November, if we dou't hold
it our cotton, a lot of these high priced
d'goods that have been bought on the
e j lace of high priced cdtton, will not
>; b-' paid for. We would like for oui
i. legislators to help us when the next
s session meets, by making some law
that will keep the tobacco warehousemen
from taking about one-lifth ot
our tobacco to pay the warehouse
^ charges. Our wants are many, hut
jwe do want them to do that much
I for us.
If this don't find the waste basket
, we may come again.
