Jones, the alleged defaluting teller of the Charlotte National Bank, remains a mystery, though minute descriptions of the man have been sent over the entire country, while detective* and the authorities of the ports of foreign countries are on the lookout for the defaulter should he attempt! to get out of the United States by noat. Of the $68,000 said to have been stolen by Jones, it is thought that upwards of $25,000 was lost in dpalinir in <af-rv?lr? onrl nf his speculations the The Charlotte News has this to say: "It is being rumored here today that someone in Charlotte was known to be trading on Sat- ' nrday through a Fort Mill bucket i shop. Messages were heard going oyer the wire on that day calling for large margins. The story goes that there were two calls, ! the first for $19,000 which was , met, while the second for $13,- i 000 was not paid. "It is also reported that some- ; one here through the Fort Mill : establishment purchased 500 shares of certain stock said to have been United States steel, buying around 97, when three hours later, this stock was selling below 85. "Jones' name was quickly connected with these rumors." Thinks Others Are Implicated. That there is a feeling in Charlotte that Jones had confederates the following from The News would seem to suggest: "The story that two bucket shop men were implicated in the embezzlement directly or other I A- - -1 i 1 i * wjse created anouier sensation on the streets today. "It is being said here today that Mr. Fonville, of Fort Mill, has left. That his firm, Randolph & Company, of Philadelphia, had called on him last Friday by wire for $16,000. That he immediately telegraphed his brother to come to Rock Hill, and that he left shortly thereafter. "Links are being connected showing that more persons than Mr, Jones are implicated in some way or another with the sensational affair. "The police and detectives are seeking now to discover who the men really are." As concerns Mr. Fonville's absence from Fort Mill, The Times was informed shortly after his departure that he had stated before leaving that he was going I to rnnaaeipma to consult nis I firm, Randolph & Co., and if j possible arrange with them to reopen his business here. The reason ?iven for the closing of the business here was that Mr. Fonville had been called upon by the Philadelphia brokers for larger margins than he was able to put up and closed his shop here pending his trip to Philadelphia. Mr. Fonville, has not, so far as we know, returned to Fort Mill. ?The Times. Warm Times in Bethany School. The Yorkville New Era on Saturday printed the following: "Bethany school has been the scene of some pretty warm times during the past week, according to reports from that section. It seems that the school has some bad boys and they have been taking too much liberty with one of the professors whom they do not esteem. A few days ago i tllAV riOKnafnafAil a uotnr rnnnrli . J J-*Vt VV*MWVV* U> ? Vi J 1 VU^Il joke on tne professor. A bucket of slop was placed over the door of his department of the school and timed to tilt just as the unfortunate man entered. The program as arranged by the boys was carried out to perfection and the luckless tutor was besmeared from head to foot. Of course he was indignant. Who would not j have been under such circumstances? He singled out of the crowd the supposed miscreant ; and called him into the school room and attempted to administer merited punishment for the wicked joke. But the overgrown Mecklenburger was too much for the doughty professor, even though the latter did use a nigger head rock with more or less effect. In the melee the boy got hold of a lamp and battered the professor in tne face, making a number of ugly cuts. They were 1 Anally separated and upon further investigation it was decided that the boy was probably not the guilty party. His name is Garrison and he is from Mecklenburg county. Prof. Erskine Kennedy was the victimized teacher. It is understood that he has re! signed, and also that the school 1 board are making a thorough in, vestigation into the trouble." s A horse race may be an interesting event to some, but more of your friends are interested in * in any event that concerns you. j If you go away on a visit, or , friends come to visit you, see ] that the fact reaches this office 1 before publication day. \ I Letter to A- A.
