DENIES GUILT Cashier of Orr Mills an Alleged Defaulter. BOOKS ARE TANGLED He Is Placed Under Arrest at the Instance of the President of the Mill?Uncashed Checks and Rat Eaten Paper Money is Found In the Vault. Calhoun Harris, secretary and as Blatant casbfler of the Orr cotton mills, located at Anderson was arrested Tuesday morning In that city on a warrant obtained by President J. D. Hammett, charging breach of trust it being alleged that he misappropriated )50,000 or more of the company's funds. Harris denies ever having misappropriated one dollar of the company's money and that everything will be found all right when the expert accountants get through with auditing the books. The first intimation of a shortage came on Tuesday of last week. About two weeks ago two accountants of the American Audit Company went to Anderson to audit the books of the mills, as is customary about once a year. After working for a few days the experts found one or two items which did not appear correct. On further examination It appeared that Mr. Harris was short in his account $50,000 and when his attention was called to It he said the showing was correct, but claimed that it was due to clerical errors. President Hammett and the directors questioned Mr. Harris closely and were disposed to believe him, when he insisted that the shortage was due to clerical errors. As the Investigation proceeded, however, many false entries were found and many things appeared which did not tend to clear Mr. Harris from suspicion. It was found that he not only made false entries to make correct balances but that he also had been kiting checks from one bank to another and that In many instances he had given the mill his own, personal checks to account for cash which the mill should have had on hand, had entered these checks on the books of the mill and then had never presented these checks to the bank for payment. In another Instance, a batch of persons! cheeks from a merchant in Anderson were found In the vault of the mill office which had never been presented tg the bank for payment. These checks bore different dates, several years old. They had been entered on the books of the mill, showing that the merchant had paid his account. The books show that the mill on one occasion loaned $3,000 to Harris. A few weeks later it appeared that this loan was repaid. A personal check signed by Mr. Harris was found In the vault for the amount of the loan, the dates corresponding with the book's entries. In addition to these checks there were found In the vault many par etMH ana pacitagos or moaoy, some in old envelopes, some in old pasteboard boxes and some in coin sacks. Some of tho money was in bills and bad lain in the vault until some of it had been eaten and partly demolished by rats All of these items will aggregate about $6,000 to $8,000. Mr. Harris was for years treasurer of the First Presbyterian church. In the vault were found a great many envelopes which the members of the congregation use on Sundays In making their payments to the church. These envelopes bear the same of the contributor and the amount contributed. There were dozens of these envelopes that were never opened, some of them dating as far back as five years. There haa been bound one instance of where checks of the mill had been used by Mr. Harris in sotting tho church account at the bank. Tho experts of the auditing company say that the accounts were in worse shape than any they have ever seen. They say that It will take them several months to verify all entries. At the same time it is known that tho shortage will in no wise cripple tho mill, as a large surplus has been accumulated and the stock is worth more than par. Mr. Harris has been secretary and assistant cashier of tho Orr mills since their establishment. Ho received a good salary but has not lived extravagantly and has not shown any signs of living beyond his means. His books have fbeen examined repeatedly by different auditing companies, Including the one now checking the accounts. It appears, how ever, that his accounts have been wrong: for several years and that he has been able to cover up all Indications of crookedness from the auditors by various means. When asked for a statement by a newspaper man Mr. Harris said: "I Just want to say that If a full examination Is made it will be found that I have not misappropriated a single dollar of the mill's money. Beyond this I have nothing to say at this time." Those who know the chaotic condition of the accounts at the mill office do not know what to think. It i9 a very strange case. Those who have looked into the condition of affairs thus far say that they have never known or heard of anything like it. There appears to be a big shortage and on the other hand there appear many old checks and some money to decrease the shortage. Some of the checks may f? WANT IT TO STAY I CHARLESTON BUSINESS MEN FAVOR THE DISPENSARY. They Believe It Should be Retained aud the Blind Tigers Driven Out of Business. The Charleston Post says at a meeting of a number of business men held Tuesday at the rooms of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, a resolution was unanimously passed, urging the voters of Charleston to support the dispensary system for the regulation of the liquor traffic on August 17, In preference to the nrnhlKHlAn anH a oa*V? ?*? ? ? ? ~ |f I vui i/t vtv/u HUU Oft VULUUllitCC W AO pointed to use its efforts toward tbis end. The meeting was held in response to a call signed by G. K. Marshall. Walter Pringle. M. Hornik, J. C. Hemphill, T. R. Waring. W. J. Storen, E. H. Sparkman, James R. Johnson and W. H. Cogswell. The call announced that the tax rate of the county of Charleston is now 41 1-2 mills, and the profits last year from the dispensary were $118,000. and the enactment of a prohibition law for Charleston would mean Increased taxation. With the exception of Mr. Storen and Mr. Waring, the signers of the call were present and among others: Arthur Lynah, John L. Sheppard. W. K. Tate. C. R. Valk, P. H. Gadsden, T. J. McCarthy, J. M.

Mr. Hornik declined and then on motion of Mr. Gadsden, Mr. Marshall was made chairman of the meeting. In taking the chair, Mr. Marshall made a few remarks, explaining the purpose of the call which was later read by C. Norwood Hastle, as secretary of the meeting. Mr. Marshall made a strong plea for an honest effort in enforcing the law. He disclaimed making any reflection upon the administration, but he thought that the time had come for action. Business men have changed their attitude toward the dispensary and a satisfactory and adequate enforcement of the law Is demanded for the best interests of I Charleston's trade with the up-counI try. as well as for a community matter. Mr. Sinkler said that ho had attended several sessions of the legislature and knew the sentiment of many toward Charleston. and thought that by consistently standing to Charleston's attitude In the past, the prospects were bright for securing a license system. Mr. Sinkler declared that personally he Is opposed to the dispensary and prohibition and an advocate of the license system. He then offered the resolution, expressing the sense of the meeting that the people should vote for the dispensary. STARVED TO DEATH. Three Children Found Asleep Beside Mother's Body.

Monday night when their request for admission to the room was unanswered they forced an entrance. The condition of the body lndl cated that the woman had been dead for several hours.

Meyer, of Summervllle, requests the Advertiser of that town In order to keep the record straight and correct a wrong Impression that has gone forth as to the amount orl liquor received at Spartanburg by express, will you kindly publish the following letter: Spartanburg, S. C.. July 28, 1909. Mr. J. B. Meyer, Summerville, S. C.?Dear Brother: I went to the ' express office to obtain facts in regard to the shipments of liquor into this town. I And according to the 1 statement made by the express agent 1 after consulting his books, that the ; average amount of whiskey coming through the express office here is about three-tenths of a gill per capita, daily, or about 27 gallons a day for 25,000 people. There is quite ' a difference between the actual facts 1 and the statement given oxt in your 1 paper laBt week by one of your local physicians. I wish you would see that the brethren of your town receive this information. If you feel disposed to do so you may print it In your prohibition column as coming from me. Yours truly, J. L.. HARLET, State Superintendent. Dr. Carroll's Reply. To the Editor of The News and Courier: In its last issue the Summerville Advertiser publishes the enclosed letter from the Rev. J. H. Harley to controvert a statement I made In a previous issue to the effect that the mail order business going out of Spartanburg amounted to $900 dally for whiskey, this statement being based upon Information sent to The News and Courier by its Columbia correspondent. to conround my figures the reverend gentleman consulted the express agent at Spartanburg, and as a result of this consultation sava: "1 find, according to the statement made by the express agent, after consulting his book*, that the average amount of whiskey coming through the express office here is about three-tenths of a gill per capita," which Mr. Harley calculates to be about 27 gallons a day for 25,000 people. After which astounding calculation he complacently adds: "There Is quite a difference between the actual facts and the statement given out !r. your paper last week by one of your local physicians." Evidently Mr. Harley is not long on arithmetic, and this statement of his gives an illuminating instance of his accuracy in verifying his socalled facts. Now let's do thiB sum for him and see how nearly this express agent's figures will approximate our own, when the calculation is accurately made: i nrec-tonths of a gill per capita means three-tenths of a gill dally for every man, woman and child in Spartanburg, and as Mr. Harley tells us there are 2 5,000 of these, we simply multiply 25,000 by 3-10. Here it is: 3-10x25,000 equaling 7,500. Now, 7,500 gills are equivalent to 234.37 gallons, and not 27 gallons. If this whiskey is worth on an average $4 per gallon we will get $937.48 as the dally expenditure Tor whiskey. In other wdrds Just $37.48 more than my own figures. Summervllle with a population of 2,500, and laboring under the curse of the county dispensary, spends on an average about $50 per day for whiskey, or about two cents per capita, while Spartanburg, according to Mr. Harley's own statistics, rejoicing in the blessings of prohibition, dally ccebrates her happiness by spending a per capita of 3.7 cents for whiskey. Evidently it is quite unnecessary to be a cara?l in Snar tanburg. F. JULIAN CARROLL. Summerville, August 2. GREAT PLAGUK OF MOTHS. Thousands of Them Swarm Hotels in Now York. What appeared to be a heavy snow storm was really mylards of small white moths which again visited New York Monday night. Again the little pests swarmed into the brightly lighted hotels and restaurants and clouded the street lamps, but this time they were accompanied by millions of large brown moths, some of them five Inches from tip to tip, and as these fluttered about the lights they looked like bats. A strange feature of these visitations which this summer are worse than ever before, and which the entomologists are trying to fathom, Is what becomes of the moths at the break of day. With the first ray of daylight they disappear, but no one has found where they go. Gloom Follows Gladness. At almost the hour set for her | wedding In All Souls' church.

Recalling incidents of the last national campaign, Senator Hristow declared that President Taft, in Kansas, had favored a revision of the tariff downward, and ho had heen elected to the Senate on that issue. The fact wnn ho ooM ?hof tieally no reduction had been obtained in the tariff bill. "The tax," he said, "has been taken off of hides and added to the sole leather suit ca^ae that the American citizens buy. And yet it has been advertised that a reduction has been made on the leather schedule for the benefit of the Amorican citizen." "Apparently," said Mr. Bristow, "the only thing considered in formulating the cotton schedule has been the greed of the cotton manufacturer of New England." "As a Republican Senator," said Mr. Bristow, "I will not be a party to placing Mr. Taft in the most embarrassing position in which it is possible for a President to be placed. He has in substance appealed to this Congress to keep faith with the people, but iu effect it is a bill to ignore that appeal. "I set up no standard for other Senators. Every man should vote as his conscience and Judgment distate. But I feel that should I support this bill, I would be recreant to my duty as a Senator and unfaithful to the people who sent me here to represent them." Prepare Table of Votes. Saying he believed the passage of the tarifT bill would only be the beginning of a popular discussion of the tarifT, Mr. Bacon expressed himself as extremely anxious that there should be no question as to the responsibility of Senators for the framing of that measure. He had prepared a collection of every yea and nay vote taken on the many amendments to the bill, together with an explanation of the method of voting in the Senate, which he asked to have printed in the Record.

There are four practical methods hat may bo employed in freeing catle and pastures of Texas fever ticks: [1) Picking od fbruBtylng off the icks; (2) smearing or spraying the .nimals with a disinfecting soluion; (3) dipping the "tlcky" anlnals in a vat containing a solution apable of killing the ticks without njury to the cattle; (4) a systenatic pasture rotation whereby the icks are eliminated by changing the attle to one pasture after another, illowing the ticks to drop off, and >revcnting new ticks from getting | >11 the cattle. In sections where there are large lerds and ranches, dipping or sprayng on a large scale has been successfully carried out, either alone >r in conjunction with pasture roation, while in other sections, where lie cattle on farms consist of only 1 i few head, hand dressing with oil las been found to be the most pracical plan. The methods above suggested, therefore, apply to different sections of the country, and the >tockman or farmer should Belect the one which is best Buited to bis particular case. I'ieking or llrushing Off the Ticks. Where the hera is small the ticks may be picked off by hand or scraped off with a dull knife or currycomb. This should be done at least three times a week in order to remove all the large tiews before they mature and fall off, as by this system the smaller ticks which at first escape detection will be found before they are fully developed. After removal the ticks should be destroyed, preferably by burning. Care should be taken to go over the animals thoroughly, and after once going over they should not be neglected. as ticke may be picked up from time to time. If this work is thoroughly done and no ticks allowed to fall off and lay eggs from June 1 to the end of November, the n/tH'iA ti> ! 1 1 fr.ut t i*f\m tlolra a itH ( u Lllu v> 111 uu II CU I I U IU IIV-IVO UUU the pastures clean. Smearing or Spraying. Greasing the animals all oyer thoroughly with cotton-seed oil, fish oil, or Beaumont crude petroleum will assiBt in preventing the ticks from getting upon them and destroy the ticks already on them. This method is practicable when only a few animals are to be treated. A mixture of 1 gallon of kerosene, 1 gallon of cotton-seed oil, and 1 pound of sulphur has proved effective when used two or three times a week during the tick season. It should be applied with a sponge, syringe, brush, mop, or broom. Where a larger number of cattle are to be treated, but not tnough to warrant building a vat, spraying has given good results. The necessary equipment consists of a force pump such as is used by orchardists for spraying trees, with a barrel in a wagon or on a platform and a hose with an ordinary nozzle. A 20 per cent emulsion ot Beaumont oil or a 5 per cent solution of any of the standard coal-tar dips may be used. The spraying should be continued throughout the whole season and if thoroughly done will leave the cattle and uastures free for the following year. Dipping in a Vat. Where a large number of animala are to he treated, dipping in a vat la a convenient and effective method. Reaumont crude petroleum Is considered the most satisfactory dip and may be used either alone or In a 20 per cent emulsion. Animals that have been dipped In the oil, especially during warm weather, should not be driven any great distance immediately afterwards, and should be provided with shade and an abundance of water. This system of eradication appeals (o many farmers and should be followed whenever practicable or conditions will permit. It consists in placing ticky animals In a small pasture for a period of 20 days. During that time a considerable number if ticks will drop off. Thjm transfer the cattle to a second small pasture for anther 20 days, and if all if the ticks have not dropped ofT, to still another pasture. If the full time has been used, 60 days will tiave been consumed and the stock s then ready to be placed on tick'ree pasture. The object of moving uvuu iiuua jiaDtui o IU pasture? ut ntervals of 20 days is to cause all he ticks to drop off and at the same inie to prevent the animals from leoomlng infested again with young. >r seed, ticks. Twenty days is less han the shortest time within which ieed ticks will appear from eggs aid by ticks that drop off. and all >f the ticks present on the animals rill have dropped off in the 60 days, 'he young ticks, when hatched, will tarve if no cattle are present in j he pasture for them to get on.

Petition Would Continue Prohibition. 1 A dispatch from Lancaster to The State says Messrs. Hollnian and Grace, lawyers from Charleston, appeared before Chief Justice Jones for a rule to show cause In the case of Thomas M. Jellico, petitioner, vs. H. W. Connor, John H. Conlon and Wm. D. Clarke, election commissioners. The case involves an attack on the recent statute closing dispensaries and providing for an electiou on August 17. charging unconstitutionality on two grounds: First, that it violates the article requiring the subject of the net to be expressed in the title, and, second, that it is special legislation. The wish is that the supreme court assemble on or about August 11 and hear the case. If the court is unwilling or unable to assemble then a rule to show cause will be issued returnable before the chief justice and he will pass upon the case at . his chambers, subject of course, to right of appeal to the whole court. The effect of sustaining the contention of the petitioner would bo to prevent the elections and continue prohibition in force. Word was received from Charleston Tuesday night that the impression in the city Is that the attempt to perevent the electiou on August 17 is not taken very seriously. The action of the lawyers is of course not instigated by the county dis- ( pensaries authorities and it Is not known precisely what faction or persons are behind it except that they ( are not in sympathy with the county | dispensary system. It Is further believed that the prohibitionists, that , is, the sincere prohibitionists, have , nothing to do with it. , CRIMINAL ASSACLT. Fiendish Crime Charged Against Young Wliite Man.
