But not so ?t Ruruesvllle, Ga.. where
ho loft for parts unknown alter securing
$700 In cash from a hank at
bhat place and making way with an
automobile which was not registered
in his name. In making his killing
at Barnesvllle, it is alleged Boss
calmly wulked out of the bauk with
the seven hundred smackers in his
Jeans, stepped into a car belonging to
a Barnesvllle business man and then
did a disappearing act.
The dispatch from the Georgia Department
of Public Safety says in
part "His (moaning ltoss) method of
operation Is that he comes into town,
gains the confidence of the most
prominent men and sells them on the
idea that he is contemplating establishing
a factory in their city and then
gxus checks cashed at the local banks
and absconds."
That is just what Boss attempted in
Camden, but he failed to get any
checks cashed, in fact he got exactly
nothing, outside of time given by a
number of business men, who with
the usual courtesy so characteristic of
southern gentlemen, permitted him
to toll his story?and then, because
of Boss" proclicity to talk in a verbal
rhapsody of thousand dollar, words,
became suspicious. The ultimately
spelled failure to the alleged "big
I shot" from tho DuPont company.
Boss" first approach toward adding
Camden to his sucker list was in a
telephone call from a stato office in
Columbia to the Chamber of Commerce
to inform Camden that be was
a representative of tho DuPont company
who was planning a large paint
plant in the Carolinas and would
Camden bo interested in giving him
an interview with prominent business
men. The Chamber, always interested
in anything that cmacks of progress.
more payrolls and the like, arranged
for a conference with the
gentleman (?) and notified the Industrial
committee personnel of the
coming of this alleged DuPont official.
Mr. Ross arrived, met the business
men, talked big. too big in fact, and
then left for Columbia, declaring he
would return the following day in
I his car, which he reported was be'
ing repaired in Columbia.
However, riie checking up process
J was under way. Communicating with
Perrvville, Md? which address Boss
gave, it was learned he was not known
j at that point. A Chamber official motored
to Columbia, and was shown the
telegrams which had been utilized in
building up the initial steps toward
the delicate process of separating
Camden men from their sheckles.
The telegrams were there, copies of
which are now on file with the Chamber,
committee chairman and the city.
That the state Officials did not sense
the nigger In the woodpile is a perplexing
feature for the telegrams bore
the date line of Washington, whereas
the DuPont headquarters are at Wilmington,
Del. In addition they were
signed with the name Phillip DuPont.
So far as can be ascertained, there Is
no DuPont by that name. However
it was an excusable error, for the
??
officers' and enlisted men's clubs and
serve food to us where it would be
hazardous to eat the native food.
There Is only one complanit that I
have about the Red Cross and that
is they are still not set up to serve
us away from the large cities. I
have been trying to get some reading
material for the men In the hospital
for some time now and all my efforts
have been to no avail. Maybe someday
we'll get some."

There are a great many arinifioa'

Outside of chagrin that any one
would think that Oamdun business
men permit hair to grow behind their
ears or their brains to stagnate, the
complete failure of Hons to gain any-1

gloom of hcngriu and replaces it with|
chuckles. Itoss did learn something

War Department
Bands Round Robins
The War Department has issued a
coinmunlcatlon to various commanding
officers of pouts ami stations
throughout the country dealing with
letters to military personnel overseas.
The letter which Is virtually an
order from the Secretary of War was
released to news agencies upon the
order of Major General Hrydeii The
memoranda sites that numerous com
panies, organizations and clubs
throughout the United States are engaged
tu a practice with former employees
or members called a '"round
robin" or "news letter." A letter is
sent front an organization to an individual
soldier who adds his letter
to it and then sends it to unolher soldier
named on a list attached to the
original communication.
The Secretary of War states it is
recognized that within the United
States tills practice Is not particularly
objectionable. Hut. many of
these letters are going overseas and
the information contained in thorn
would bo of grout value to the enemy
because it would give them, conveniently
bound In one volumne, letters
from many mem written on a
variety of subjects.
The letters that have been brought
to tiui attention of the War Department
have outltnod the technicalities
of training of many units, specific
duties of liulivlduala. future movements.
exact locutions of Individuals
and units, and discussed our own and
enemy weapons from a technical
standpoint
Kfl'ectlvo immediately, the cpinmunlcation
states, steps will ho taken
to discourage thin practice. While it
may bo of great interest to the individual
concerned, It may cause
great harm to the war effort of the
United States and bo contrary to
the proper safe guarding of classified
military information.
Washington is known as the evergreen
state and also as the chlnook
