Parker, Dolly I Stokes. 1 (i Fake Farmer Fools I Folks In The City He wore overalls, a good tan. a work shirt, and a modest demeanor, I, as he sat at dinner at a Yorkville, t S. C., boarding house, and had little to say until J. C. Wilborn, realtor ar- 1 rived at the same table. i Then he mentioned casually that he ' had bought the Ford farm, south of town, at a price of $1,000 less than he had ofTered for It and considered 1 that he had $1,000 profit. That stim- 1 ulated Mr. Wilborn Into action, he be- 1 ing a very enterprising realtor. It was the first scene of the drama with an excellent actor In the star i role, and in the last scene, two checks i for a total of $35 bounce back from < Greer, because drawn on a.bank that does not exist. Mr. Wilborn did not even have a check for the $2 he loan- ^ TTie cinema coBlumed Tarffier, and an unneeded abstract of the title had been made for another farm purchased from A. Y. Cartwright, Jr., through the realtor. * In the second scene, Mr. Wilborn takes the modest, sensible farmer to the York Hardware company store and introduces him as wanting to buy a pump. He selects a pump to be delivered four days later, and then he takes the well maker, Ed Lathan, out to the Cartwright farm, down the Chester road a few miles, to arrange for i18 installation there. He digs and punches around the well there, and is disappointed when the well maker tells him there is no way to put the kind of pump he had bought In that well. So he goes back to the hardware store and changes his pump purchase to another type of pufnp, to be delivered as agreed for the other one, on Tuesday. Then he goes to the r. C. Dunlap automobile agency and buys a farm truck, to be delivered on Tuesday also, and says he will want more trucks when he gets really started to farming down there. Meanwhile, he agreed to pay spot cash for the farm he bought from A. Y. Cartwright, Jr., wanted because it adjoins the Ford farm, as Boon as an abstract of title insured the Cartwright ownership of it. Also, Mr. Dunlap took him to Rock Hill once, for something or other, but what the stranger farmer did there is unknown here. All that playacting was on Friday. With pump and truck, bought for delivery on Tuesday, It was Saturday afternoon, after banking hours, that ' the. I n nvnmlla form ton n.nrl. --- - - ?, - ? ? , ? n shirt, and somewhat simple face, but businesslike negotiating, appeared again at the hardware store. His wife who was to come with $1,000 had not arrived, and he needed a little money .'or current personal expenses, so would J. R. Barnwell please cash a check for $20 for him? Not exactly, but there was $15 availablo In the , cash register. ' ' I Mr. Barnwell furnished a check ' from the name of the bank in blank i and the new customer and resident of J York township made it read on the ' First National bank of Greer and i signed it Ralph T. Brpwn.' Then the J man went over to the Dunlay agency ' and there got, $20 on a similar check. I While drawing the check In the ! hardware store, he somewhat $hyly J apologized by saying that his school- < Ing had stopped at the sixth grade, i and he had never. learned to write ] well. T6e two checks were not de- I posited until Monday. and they final- ! ly came back from another bank in J V - Oreer marked no account, no funds and no bank. Roth Yorkville merchants grinned wryly. Attorney Spratt says he will not charge A. Y. Cartwright, Jr., the customer $20 for that Abstract, and Mr. Cartwrlght still owns the farm. The Ford family never heard of the man, nor his maneuvers here. The man with the tan, the overalls, and the actions of a careful farmer, Is a really fly crook, who plans his campaigns to the last detail, carefully gets the facts he needs, and spends Beveral days building up a background for getting his checks cashed. He works with care and precision, In every detail, even to making each check for $20 or less, because that is the dividing line in this state, between petit and grand larceny. If the stage were set in the doU drums, the man could play the star part in that popular melodrama of another day, "The Old Homestead." ?Yorkville Enquirer. - SPORTS SENSE * AND. NONSENSE ? FRANK H. HEATH Looks as if Alabama will be a Hone Bowl contender this year. The Crimson Tide in sure rolling: along. And the Green Bay Packers added another notch in their ladder for sixth national title by spanking the Detroit Tigers for the second time this season, the score being 14 to 13. What a game! That Citadel-University of South Carolina game completely refuted the old story that the best team always wins. The best team lost if an analysis of the game is considered. * We Just found out where the feather thut graced the Alpine hat came from. Just a bit of down from a Gamecock after the Clemson game. * * Where were the midgets last Friday? Put them back, put them back, for that between halves show is a winner. We're glad to say that the several scraps that took place during and after the Chester game did not In volve any Cheater fane, The visitors were real sporting and I'm here io say that again and again I saw players extend helping handa to pull up a groggy opponent. This was true alike of Camden and Chester players. That Is the kind of football I like. Don came in to say that' "speech Is silver but silence Is Coughlln." * * Speaking of undeclared wars, we wonder how Franklin Roosevelt is getting along with the Democraticparty? * * Back to football again. We play Newberry here tonight. The game was originally scheduled for Newberry but shifted/Id Camden. Must have been thinking of the gate receipts for this man's town is Bure keen in turning out for the Bulldogs. * * Had dinner with Host Canter at the Court Inn Sunday. From cocktail to hot mince pie It was a feast fit for the most exacting diner. Jack should enjoy a generous patronage if he maintains that kind of cuisine. WE INVITE YOU?
