< 'olumbia. Sept. 'JO Aj) apparent
shortage of $ l,01K.r?0 luis been found
mi the Hank of lNucwood. Sumter < 'aun
ty, by the State bank examitier's office.
(\ I-,. Huff was found dead In Ids room
at the- 1'alaee. Hotel, Saii Kraut'lsco, t'al.,
on September II, under mysterious cir
cumstances was t li?> cashier of the Itauk
of IMnewpod,
Relative to the shortage. James II.
Craig. State i>a i) k examiner, gave out
the following statement today :
"Numerous inquiries haw couie to me
relative to the condition of the. Dank
of I'lnewood, following the death of Its
cashier. I'. I'. Huff, who was found dead
in his room at the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco, Cnl. on September 11.
"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."
For Violating School Law.
(Irocr, Sept. 21. ? The first trials of
parents charged with violation of tin*
compulsory school attendance law in

Two of the defendants were acquitted,
the other pleaded guilty. The Rev. T.
10. Sea go was charged with having taken
his child from the school at Paris on
a claim of illness. Mr. Seago pleaded
his own cause and claimed the child
was not well enough to attend school
hut was able to attend the protracted
services which were being conducted by
hitm the four days she was out of
"school. The trial of Mr. Seago con
sinned about two hour*. John E. Bishop
of Fnirviow school district admitted his
ignorance of the law and paid the $.1
fine. The third case was against ('. W.
Hannah of Fairview ami was dropped
by the attendance officer.
Nurse Instantly Killed.
Chester. Sept. 20. ? Mrs. S. E. Beh iiie,

anil 10. <J, Ingram.
t'beruw. Sept. A distressing trag
Oil.v took place on t lit* sthvts.uf CherAW
Saturday afternoon at (1:80 o'chx-k wli^n
Jturch Kirkloy was allot to death by
T. I,. 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.

Some of t hem bav\' already gone beyond

In some few .counties the committees

Slate Manager II. I'". Mcbood ia a state*

committees tin* necessity of completing
tin' ??ai?vas at once
"The association lias ambitious plans/'
said Mr. MjoLood "bu{ it will ho unable
to |>ut them into effWt until thorough
organization is had. We want to ar
range to take wire of -the distress

do this it is necessary that our membor
ship campaign be pushed to completion.
"Quite a rtimibcr of tuwuships iu the
wtnto have reported 100 per cent mem
berships* ? that is to say every man in
the township joined t'he association. A
number of other townships reported OH
per cent memberships.
"The people seem to be awake to tiie
necessity of organization. All we need
now to put the campaign VvWu is a good
bunch of canvasser*. The repoVt conies
fmm every sis'tion that everybody seems
willing to join,
. "I am delighted to see the women tak
ing such an interest in the campaign in
some sections. Thej know wl:>it p?vortj J
means to them. It fails more heavily
on tll?Mli Htllii on the men. They see
in the organisation ?? f the farmers, the

buggy, which bad in it a satchel which t
contained some papers and a pistol. I
