pertaining to the bridge. At
4 o'clock in the afternoon the
crowd returned to town and a
meeting was held in the rooms of
the Commercial Club, where the

Defaulter Dealt Through Fort Mill Shop.
The whereabouts of Frank H.
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."

$2 02 a gallon,
It is a game of wits Adulterators
are always too sharp for the bulk of
consumers. People won.t pay $1.75 a j
gallou for paint. To they $2 02 a
gallon for paint aud something that
lpoks like paint mixed with it. (They
pay the paiuter, besides, from $2 to $4
for painting those useless gallons.) 1
Why do they do it? Thov don't know
