Hammett, charging breach of traet R being alleged that be mis appropriated 150,000 or more of the company’s funds. Harris denies ever bsvlpg misappropriated one dollar of the company’s money and that every thing will be found all right when the expert accountants get through with auditing the books, The Unit Intimation of a short age came on Tueeday of last week. About two weeks ago two account- ants of the American Audit Company went to Anderson to audit the books of the milla, as is customary about onoe a year. After working for — few days the experts found one or two Items which did not appear cor rect. On further examination It ap peared that Mr. Harris was short In his account $50,000 and when his attention was called to it he aald the showing was correct, hut claim ed that it was due to clerical er rors. President Hammett and the dlrec- q tore questioned Mr. Harris closely and were dlspesed to believe him when he insisted that the shortage was due to clerical errors. As the Invsstlgatlon proceeded, however many false entries were found and many things appeared which did not tend to clear Mr. Harris from sus picion. ..Il^was^ found that he not only made false entries to make cor rect balance* but that he alto had been kiting checks from one bank to another and thai in many inatanc ee ha had given the mill bis 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 personal checks from a merchant In Anderson were found in the vault of the mill-office which had never been presented to the bank for pay ment. 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 Harris. A few weeks later it appeared Thft thtv loan was repaid. A pei signed by Mr. Harris wj^Hiind in the vault for the arnwtfrt of the loan, the dates corresponding with She booh’-aaatrles, In addition to these checks ni>r» were found in the vault many par cels sad packages of money, some In old envelopes, some in old paste board boxes and some in coin sacks.

These envelopes bear the asms of the contributor and the amount contributed. There were dosens of these envelopes that were never opened, some of them dating j aa far back aa five years. There has been fiound one Instance of where cheeks of the mill had been need by Mr. Harris in setting the church account at the bank. The experts of the auditing com pany eay that the accounts were in wore# 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 la known that the shortage will.In no wiee cripple the mill, as a large sur plus has been accumulated and the stock la worth more than par. Mr. Harris has been secretary and as sistant cashier of the Orr mills since their establishment. He received - a good salary bat has not lived ex- . traragantly and has not shown any algae of living beyond his means. Hm Dooks havo -fbeea examined The Charleston Poet says at a meeting of an umber of builness men held Tuesdxy at the room* of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, a resolution was unanimously passed, urging the voter* of Charleston to ■upport the dispensary system for the regulation of the liquor traffic on August 17, in preference to the prohibition and a committee was ap pointed to uee its efforts toward this end. The meeting waa held in response to a call signed by E. K. Marshall, Walter Prhrgie, M. Hornlk, J. C. Hemphill, T. R. Waring, W. J. 8to- ren, E. H. Sparkman, Jamea R. Johnaon and W. H. Cogawell. The call announced that the tax rate of the county of Charleaton la now 41 1-2 mills, and the proflta last year from the dispensary were $118,000, and the enactment of a prohibition law for Charleston would mean In creased 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. Gads den, T. J. McCarthy, J. M. Connel- ley, John HerU, Capt. F. D. Phillips, W. M. Bird, M. Frank, Capt. F. W. Wagener, H. Pearlstine, Dr. Lock- wood, Daniel L. Sinkler, B. I. Sim mona, M. O’Shaughneaay, Robert La tham, Albert Orth and Paul Wierse As the first signer of the call. Mr Marshall, called the meeting to or der and nominated Mr. Hornlk to take the chair. Mr. Hornlk 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 waa liter read by C. Nor wood Haatle, as secretary of the meeting. Mr. Marshall made a strong plea for an honest effort In enforcing the law. He'disclaimed making any re flection upon the administration, but he thought that the time had come for action. Business men have changed their attitude toward the dlapenaary and a satisfactory and ad equate enforcement of the law demanded for the host interests of Charleston's trade with the up-coun try, aa well aa for a community mat ter. Mr. Sinkler said that he had at tended several sessions of the legls lature and knew the sentiment many toward Charleston, and thought that by consistently atand Ing to Charleston's attitude In the past, the prospects were bright for securing a license system. Mr. Sink ler declared that personally he opposed to the dispensary and pro- hT&TlTOX and an advocate of the 11 cense system. He then offered the resolution, expressing the sense of the meeting that the people ahould vote for the dispensary. Mr. J. B.

He said practical fraud had been committed upon both houses of congress Mr. Aldrich at first gave close at tention to the words of the Virgin ian, 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 method of the majority. “The sen ate Is apparently In the control of lynch law.” He then referred particularly to what he charged was bad fafth In HOW TQ FREE CATTLE AND PASTURES OF THE PESTS.

Evidently Mr. Harley Is not long on arithmetic, aad this statement of his gives an Illuminating instance been elected to the Senate on that Issue. The fact was, he said, that prac tically no reduction had been ob tained in the tariff bill. “The tax,” he said, “has been taken off of hides and added to the sole leather s-ult case that the American citi- zens buy. And yet It has been ad vertised that a reduction has been - of his accuracy In verifying his so- ma< ie on the leather schedule for called facts.

What appeared to be a heavy snow storm was really mylards of small white moths which again visit ed 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 ac companied hy millions of large brown moths, some of them five Inches from tip to tip, and as these fluttered about the lights they look- . .ed like bats. A strange feature of these ~vtstta- tions which this summer are worse than-wv«r before, and which the en tomologists are trying to fathom^ is what becomes of the moth* at the break of day.

Saying he believed the passage of the tariff bill would only he the beginning of a popular discussion of the tariff, Mr. Bacon expressed him self as extremely anxious that there should he 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, to gether 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 all the questions presented. Mr. Bacon's statement, he ex plained. showed that there had been 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 ties. He added a careful analysis of the votes of the insurgents and cer tain Democrats who had voted with the majority. CIGARETTE IS AN OUTLAW.

There are four practical methods that may be employed in treking cat tle hnd pastures of Texas fever ticks: 11 > PURing off fbroaRiag. off the ticks; (2) smearing or (praying the animals with a disinfecting solu tion; (3) dipping the “tlcky” ani mals in a vat containing a solution capable of killing the ticks without injury to the cattle; (4) a syste matic pasture rotation whereby the ticks are eliminated by changing the cattle to one pasture after another, allowing the ticks to drop off, and preventing new ticks from getting on the cattle. In sections where there are large herds and ranches, dipping or spray ing on a large scale has been suc cessfully carried out, either alone or in conjunction with pasture ro tation, while in other sections, where the cattle on farms consist of only a few head, hand dressing with oil has been found to be the most prac tical plan. The methods above sug gested, therefore, apply to different sections of the country, and the stockman or farmer should select the one which is best suited to his particular case. i'icking or Brushing Off the Ticks. Where the herd is small the ticks may be picked off by hand or scrap ed off with a dull knife or curry comb. This should he done at least three times a week in order to re move all the large ticca before they mature and fall off, as by this sys tem the smaller ticks which at first escape detection will be found be fore they are fully developed. Af ter removal the ticks should be de stroyed, preferably by burning. Care ahould be taken to go over the ani mals thoroughly, and after onee go ing over they should not be neg lected. as tick© may be picked up from time to time. If this work is thoroughly done and no ticks- al lowed to fall off and lay eggs from June 1 to the end of November, the cattie will he free from ticks and the pastures clean. Smearing or Spraying. Greasing the animals all over thoroughly with cotton-seed oil, fish oil, or Beaumont crude petro leum will assist in preventing the ticks from getting upon them and destroy ihe ticks already on them. This method Is practicable when only a few animals are to be treat ed. A mixture of 1 gallon of ker osene, 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 sea son. It should he applied with sponge, syringe, brush, mop, broom. Where a larger number of cat tle 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 orchardlsts for spraying trees, with a barrel in a wagon or on a plat form Xnd a hose with, an Qrdlnary nozzle. A 20 per cent emulsion ot Beaumont oil or a 5 per cent solu tion 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 pastures free for the following year. Dipping in a Vat. Where a large number of animals are to he treated, dipping in a vat ts a convenient and effective method. Beaumont crude petroleum Is con sidered 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 he driven any great dis tance immediately afterwards, and should be provided with shade and an abundance of water. This system of eradication appeals to many farmers and should b« fol lowed whenever practicable or con ditions will permit. It consists In placing ticky animals in a small pas ture for a period of 20 days. Dur ing that time a considerable number of ticks will drop off. Then trans fer the cattle to a second small pas ture for anther 20 days, and If all of the ticks have not dropped off. to still another pasture. If the full time has been used, 60 days will have been consumed and the stock is then ready to be placed on tick- free pasture. The object of moving cattle from pasture to pasture at intervals of 20 days is to cause all the ticks to drop off and at the same time to prevent the animals from becoming infested again with young, or seed, ticks. Twenty days is less than the shortest time within which seed ticks will appear frflNh egg*' laid by ticks that drop off, and all of the ticks present on the animals will have dropped off in the 60 days. The young ticks, when hatched, will (i&rye if no cattle are present in the pasture for tVeffi tO get on.

The case involves an attack on the recent statute closing dispensa ries and providing for an election on August 17. charging unconstitu tionality on two grounds: First, that it violates the article requiring the subject of the act to be ex pressed in the title, and, second, that it is special legislation. The wish is that the supreme court assemble oa or about August 11 and hear the case. If the court is unwilling or unable to assemble then & 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 Journal and Review says on Thursday afternoon P. 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 Ly- brand section. The assault Is alleged to have been committed on the 5th day of July, but TJttty-recently the young lady's parents heard of It. Rela tives of the girl swore out a war rant as soon as it became known to them and Warren was arrested and committed to jail hy Magistrate H. B. Garvin. Warren runs a mill, or is employ ed at a grist mill, and it is here the assault is alleged to have been -commilled one afternoon, when the young girl went on business: Tlre~~ vpung girl was alone there with him at the tithe. The girl Is <wly. thirteen years old, and comes' of good people. Under a recent law this Is made a capital offense., and If Warren Is convicted It will mean thaTTIh must suffer the “death penalty the second white man that has been charged with this fiendish crime In this State in the last few months. A speedy example should be made of one of the fiends and then pos sibly such crime* by white men would stop. (Ml says there whlekey Make Your Own Will—Without the aid of a lawyer. You don't need one.
