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

CHARLESTON BUSINESS MEN FAVOR
THE DISPENSARY.
They Believe It Should be Retained

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

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. Connelley,
John Hertz, Capt. F. D. Phillips, |

Daniel L. Slnkler. B. I. Simmons,
M. O'Shaughnessy, Robert Latham,
Albert Orth and Paul Wierse.
As the first signer of the call. Mr.
Marshall, called the meeting to order
and nominated Mr. Hornik to
take the chair. 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.

MATTER OF FIGURES
REV. MR. HARLEY AND DR. CAR* ^
ROLL FAIL TO AGREE.
An Interesting Statement aa to the
Amount of Liquor Consumed by
Spartanburg.
Mr. J. B. 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.

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.

Charges Ikui Faith. (
Mr. Daniel's speech consisted in c
the main of an arraignment of the
conference committee for the ex- j
elusion of Democratic members. He j
decared that the country was in a (
fair way to begin lynching by the t
Republican conferees. He said a t
practical fraud had been committed t
upon both houses of congress. ?
Mr. Aldrich at firBt gave close at- |
tention to the words of the Virgin- t
lan, but later left the chamber. ^
"This country and its institutions ,
stand at this moment between the ,
gallows and the ground," declared |
Mr. Daniel In commenting upon the j
method of the majority. "The Ben- |
ate is apparently iu the control of
lynch law." ,
He then referred particularly to (
what he charged was bad fafth in ,
the action of the committee in signing
the conference report without
allowing himself and his Democratic
colleagues on the committee to meet
with them and to vote upon it as
agreed to by the chairman of the
commltee. Mr. Aldrich.
Mr. Aldrich said emphatically he
never had promised that the Democratic
conferee should have a day
with the committee. On the other
hand, Mr. Daniel was sure that such
an agreement had been made.
Denounces the Hill.
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. This request was grant- ,
ed. The table shows the attitude of
the members of the two parties to J

Mr. Bacon's statement, he ex- (

137 yea and nay votes in which the ,
Democrats had voted for lower and ,
the Republicans for higher duties, (
except that in two instances the Re- ,
publicans had voted for lower du- ]

EXAS FEVER TICKS
IOW TO FREE CATTLE AND
PASTURES OF THE PESTS.
1
tome Plain, Simple Directions That j
Will be Found Effective if Given j
a Trial.
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

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

ntervals of 20 days is to cause all

inie to prevent the animals from

Motion is Made Before Chief Justice
Jones in Lancaster ? 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.
The Journal and Review says on
Thursday afternoon i\ P. Warren,
a white man, was committed to the
Aiken Jail on a very serious charge,
that of assaulting a young white girl
who lives near Wagener, In the Lybrand
section.
The assault Is alleged to have
been committed on the 5th day of '
July, but only recently the young
lady's parents heard of it. Relatives
of the girl swore out a warrant
as soon as It became known
to them and Warren was arrested .
and committed to jail by Magistrate
H. B. Garvin.
Warren runs ;> mill, or is employed
at a grist mill, ami it Is here
the assault is alleged to have been
committed ono afternoon, when the
young girl went on business. The
young girl was alone there with
him at the timo. The girl is only i
thirteen years old, and conies of *
good people. j
Under a recent law this is made f
a capita) offense, and if Warren is v
convicted it will mean that he must v
Ruffer the death penalty. This is v
the second white man that has been r
charged with this fiendish crime in It
this State In the last few months. ?
\ speedy example should he made
5f one of the fiends and then possibly
such crimes by white men a
would stop. n
