"In order to answer all inquiries full, as well as to set at rest any doubts that might exist locally, I have thought best to inform those concerned in ft pub lic way. "Learning of the delayed ubscucu of the cashier, unexplained, a representa tive of ? the State hank examiner's of fice was sent to make an examination. He reported several irregularities, enough to justify an immediate audit. In com pliance with the suggestion, the services of a competent accountant were secured and the audit made. The accountant reports a total .shortage of $4,918.55), of which amount $5,150 were liberty bonds pledged as collateral that had been ex tracted and in some way disposed of. The remaining items were small, sever ally., The former cashier was under, a surety bond of $5,000, which will more than cover the shortage. The loss as certained ' is not sufficient to impair the capital of the bank. The bank is perfectly solvent and the public will not ]<*e a dollar, on account of the appar ent shortage."

Ingram and 10. (5. Ingram. The trouble occurred in frywt ??f the Hank, of I'heraw, whore tln> streets were thronged with tin- usual Saturday crowd and it seems n miracle that nA ?iw cite was 'seriously hurt. Miss Sa<V* Long, one of tin* high school toucher^ wax struck hy a stray bullet ami painfully, though not seriously hurt. .fust how tho. difficulty started is not known. The Kirkloy lands had been recently 1>ongl(t by tho Ingram broth ers and later auctioned off in small tracts at quite an advance in price, Mome feeling seems to have arisen over this, and when Hurch Kirkloy and K. Ingram met in front of the bank Sat urday words were exchanged which led to blows. K. (J. Ingram then ? drew his pistol and fired twa shots, making a slight flesh wound iu Kirkley's leg. Kirkloy was unarmed. Hearing of tho ditliculty T. 1<. Ingram, a brother of K. (J. Ingram, rushed to tho spot, seized tlie pistol from K. (!. Ingram, , and fired the fatal shot. .Mrs, Kirkloy and little son were in an automobile nearby and witnessed tlie whole affair. Mrs. lvirkloy fainted, and was with much difficulty revived. She is now se riously ill. The fngtuvms are largely engaged % in fanning, livery stables, and automobil*' business. Kirkley was ait employe of tin- town. The funeral services were conducted by the Itev. A. II. McArm at the Pres byterian church at 11 a. in. on Mon day. Jewish Holy Days Beginning. With the setting of Wednesday's ?uli the Jewish population of Camden along witJi those over the entire world began tho observance of Rosh Hashanah, the lirst of their several holy clays. Their stores were Hosed yesterday and thos^ of orthodox faith will remain eloaed to day The festival of the new year Is one of the niosl: important in the whole Jewish calendar. It is the first day of a series of holidays lasting nearly a month. It is likewise the beginning of the Jewish year and one of its princi pal feifci ures is tl>e blowing of the shofar or ram's horn. Apart from its joyful and festive na ture. Kowh Hashanah is rieh in moral import and significance. The fact that it is the beginning of the new year lends it special saeredness. It is the time of higher resolves, the turning jwiint of the year. It is the day which brings hlnne to the Jew with great force the lesion that the time is short mid .flie work is groat, and that, as each year rolls quickly by, the task must be accomplished within a shorter period. The festival is a gentle reminder of the brevity <>f human existence, but it op fimis'tically stresses the doctrine that man. fur from being a plaything in the hands of fate. <uui realize hi* life's work if he but takes advantage of the swi/tl.v fleeting moments.
