Fairfax, March 25—The directorate of
The Citizens Bank announced that Mr.J.
E. Johnston of Greenville, S. C. has ac
cepted the cashiership of that institu
tion and will assume the duties on
April 1. The Citizens Bank is unusual
ly fortunate in securing the services
of Mr. Johnston as he has extensive
banking experience. He was former
ly Asst. Cashier of the City National
Bank of GreenvHle, S. C. and later
Cashier of the Fourth National Bank of
that city. He left the banking busi
ness about three years ago to accept a
responsible position in the home office

, , , T . , , , , He has the warmest recommenda-

accepts the position with The Citizens
Bank because he is desirious of going
back into the banking business for
which his earlier training fits him much
better than the insurance business and

We, the Grand Jury of Barnwell
County, submit the following Present
ment:
FIRST: Pursuant to contract entered
into by the Foreman of the Grand Jury,
of 1912 with L. A. Searson, Public Ac
countant, to investigate the books, etc.
of the Clerk of Court, Supervisor,
Sheriff and Treasurer of our County,
the said Public Accountant has render
ed us the first section of his report,
which is attached hereto, with the fol
lowing comments:
In reference to the Sheriff's office,
this report shows that the late Sheriff,
Frank H. Creech, is short in his cash in
the sum of 12,253.05. This amount,
however, does not include the amount
of all executions charged against him,
nulla bona or otherwise for which he
is responsible.
We also find that the county is amply-
protected bp his Bond for $10,000.00
made and executed during the month of
February, A D 1909, by the United
States Fidelity & Guaranty Company of
Baltimore, Maryland We bad before

Habeas Corpus Writ.
J. L. Carlton, the deputy sheriff who
was sent to St. Paul, Minn., two weeks
ago to identify and to take into custody
Elliott Gardner, alias Walter Peters, an
escaped convict from the Barnwell
county chaingang, returned Saturday
without his prisoner.
Mr. Carlton obtained the proper re-
quisiton papers, but the negro employ
ed a lawyer, who instituted habeas
corpus proceedings, and succeeded in
convincing the court that it was a case
of mistaken identity, in spite of the fact
that Mr. Carlton swore to the negro’s
identity as Elliott Gardner. This ne
gro was convicted in Barnwell county
8 years ago upon the charge of arson
and grand larceny and sentenced to
ten years on the county chain gang,and
after nearly one year's service made
his escape. A few weeks ago Bill Gard
ner, his brother, was arrested for car
breaking, and a communication from
one Walter Peters was found in his
possession, which aroused the sus
picion that the name Walter Peters
was the alias of Elliott Gardner, and by
this clue the authontes here traced the
suspect to St Paul

Meagre reports from Ohio and Indi
ana are to the effect that several thou
sand lives were lost and property dam
age to the amount of millions was
done by torential rains, which caused
the rivers of that section of the country
to overflow Tuesday leaving death and
destruction in their wake. Springfield,
O., reports 5,000 dead, 1,000 persons
were reported drowned at Phoneton,
0., Dayton ()., reports 5,000 lives lost,
while reports from other cities and
town show an appalling loss of life.
How high the death list will go can only
be guessed at. In some cities the
water was 30 to 40 feet deep and dead
bodies were washed about in the
streets.
Appeals have been sent out for aid,
as the people of the stricken States are
unable to cope with the situation.
200 persons were killed Sunday in
Omaha, Nebraska, by a tornado that
swept over that city. 500 were injured
and property damage to the extent of
millions was done.

and the Rural Police under him allowed
such a state of affairs. The Sheriff made
excuse, so far as the liquor business
was concerned, that to seize the liquor
he must have a warrant and that few
citizens would swear out one. This an
swer we do not deem entirely satisfac
tory, but at the same time we feel dis
posed to suspend judgment, hoping
and believing that so soon as our
Sheriff becomes familiar with the work
ings of his office that the people will
have no cause to complain, either of
him or the Rural Police under him.
We respectfully call attention to the
fact that many cases for Violation of
the Dispensary Law have been con
tinued from Court to Court, and we
urge that these cases, if possible, be
cleared, believing that this cause is re
sponsible to a great extent-for the pre
sent open violation of the said Dispen
sary Law.
We extend our thanks to the Court
and officers thereof for the considera
tion and courtesies we have received.
