, BANKER MUST FACE JURY. MILTON A. CARLISLE, OF NEWBERRY, UNDER INDICTMENT. The Total Amount Involved is $33,00.00.?Carlisle Retired From Bank Nearly a Year Ago. Greenville, Oct. .21.?A true bill was returned this afternoon in the United States court by the grand jury against Milton A. Carlisle, charging m him with misappropriation of the funds of the National Bank of Newberry. and false certification of checks. Carlisle was president of the bank until about the beginning of the present year when he retired. He was also president and treasurer of the Cold Point Granite Company at Newberry. The present action in the fedk eral courts was presented during the p summer. The case will not be tried at this term of the court, and bond was fixed by Judge Brawley in the sum of $10,000. The indictment contains 162 counts, charging misappropriation of * funds and false certification of checks, both in the interest of Carlisle's personal account and of the ac count of the Cold Point Granite Company. The total amount of funds alleged to have been misapplied to his personal account is $18,000. The total amount alleged to have been misapplied to the account of the Cold Point Granite Company is $15,000. Thfli c?se will be tried either in Co lumbia in January or in Greenville in ?4 April. It is not probable that it will be tried in Charleston. Arrived at Wrong Town. Easley, Oct. 21.?A good deal of sympathy was aroused for two women and three little children who came in on No. 37 to-day. It seems that \ they had bought tickets from the ^ agent in Jamestown, N. Y., to Ferguson, S. C. The agent in looking * on the map found that there was a Ferguson in Pickens county and sold them a ticket to Easley. When they got off the train the agent here told them that Ferguson was just a cross, , roads and that there was nothing there. They were on their wayy to join their husbands at Ferguson, in ' Berkeley county, where the men were _ " in the lumber business. They *. seemed a little disturbed at first, but waited patiently until No. 40, which thdy boarded for Spartanburg, and from there they will go to Columbia. It does seem that it ought to' be made impossible to have more than one place of the same name in a single State. It seems that no one was to blame for the mistake, although they should have told the agent in what county the place was. They said that luckily they had brought enough money to reach their destination without inconvenience. How's This?

Inge, aged 65 years, of Petersburg, Va., who has been living here for several weeks under the name of A. D. Thompson, committed suicide by ? drowning himself in the canal at the Riverside cotton mills last night. A coat, vest and hat found on the banks of the canal early to-day gave the first clue to the suicide and the body was recovered at noon. Inge left two notes saying that he 9 was without friends, money or health. He has six children living in Petersburg. He was thrice married and in a letter says that he recently left his last wife and two children at Chase City. > Methodist Conference.

Nobody Loves Me, and I Want to Die. * As soon as Edward Simpson, 13 years old, is able to leave a hospital in Brooklyn he will be arraigned in the children's court on a charge of attempting to commit suicide, t Following an argument with a m. younger brother, the lad drank a quantity of medicine which he knew r i contained poison. When his mother found him he said: "I want to die. \ Nobobdy loves me; I'm always in the way." The mother carried him to the hospital, where, after treatment, the doctors said he would recover, and the police formally placed him under arrest. it HAMPTON CASE SETTLED. Alleged Shortage of Langford Paid by Bonding Company. It is understood on good authority j that the bonding company has paid ; $20,000 in the matter of the Lang-j ford shortage in Hampton county, i County Treasurer Langford was; charged with shortage in his accounts ! to the extent of approximately $24,000. He was under bond in the sum of $20,000. It is stated that the bonding company has agreed to pay the $4,000 balance if the State will j establish in court that this amount; of the $24,000 shortage occurred dur-J ing the previous term of office. The shortage is said to have occurred in the last term of Langford, and the contention of the bonding company is that it does not wish to pay the entire $24,000 if that amount is found short in one term of the office, when the bond was only $20,000, but will pay the entire $24,000 if the shortage occurred in more than one term. Langford was bonded for three terms, but each bond is liable for ten years. I Comptroller General Jones investigated the matter and made a report on it, finding the shortage to be approximately $24,000. When the time for settlement came the bonding company refused to pay up unless some one representing the State should go over the books with a representative of the company. Attorney General I Lyon named Mr. W. H. Townsend as the representative of the State. The books were gone over and the j investigation of Comptroller General j Jones was confirmed. It is stated that the county of Hampton will take chances on geting the $4,000. It practically means that the bonding company steps into the place of the State in the case and it is very probable that prosecution will be instituted by the company against J. C. Langford and a bank in Hampton county, the cashier of the bank being charged with false representations as to the amount of money deposited to the credit of the county. Big Subscription Contest. The Charleston News and Courier is now conducting one of the largest contests ever conducted by a Southern newspaper. They are giving away, absolutely free, to popular people of South Carolina, the following prizes: A Maxwell touring car, valued at $1,600, as the first grand prize, a Buick touring car valued at $1,400 as second grand prize, and a Maxwell runabout valued at $550 as third grand prize. These automobiles will be awarded to the candidates having the highest number of votes throughout the State, regardless of district, and there are thirty-six other prizes to be given away as follows: six $350.00 Kingsbury pianos, six $100 furniture outfits, six $65 tailored suits, six $50 bank accounts, six $40 solid gold watches, six $25 trunks. For the purpose of this contest, the State of South Carolina has been divided into six districts, and one piano, one furniture outfit, one suit, one $50 bank account, one watch and one trunk must go into each district. They will be awarded to the candidates having the six highest number , of votes in their districts, after the grand prizes have been awarded, therefore they are having six contests in one big one, and everybody has a chance to win a prize, and no i candidate will receive more than one prize. Any of the prizes are worthy of the little effort required to become the proud possessor of any of them. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a nomination ballot. All you have to do is to clip these and fill in with your own name or that of a friend and send it to the contest department of the News and Courier, and they will send you full particulars and material which you will need for your campaign, and tell you how to secure votes. They have a number of little ways of assisting candidates. All you have to do is to aks the contest man. The contest has just started, so don't delay. It will be the candidates who get in now and get busy among their friends and acquaintances, and get them to subscribe to the News 1 and Courier. Once you show them you are interested, you will be surprised to see how many subscriptions you will secure. The subscriptions ' count for votes, and votes decide the winners. ! m I Frightfjil Fate Averted.

C. j An Incident in Court. On last Thursday an old veteran : was tried and convicted of aggravated assault and battery in the court of \ general sessions presided over by ' Judge Watts. It was a fight between him and another old man. The old soldier had no lawyer, but defended his case himself. By his testimony J and simple speech to the jury he touched the sympathies of all who 1 heard him. The jury did their duty ( and convicted him. Judge Watts im- 1 posed a very light sentence, $25 fine or forty days on the chaingang. The old man said he was unable to pay ' the fine. Mr. Covington, the court j stenographer, then went among the ] crowd in the court house and without any trouble and as fast as the money ] could be dropped into his hand raised ' the amount of the fine. Judge Watts, ! the jury convicting him, the court ( constables, the attorneys and officers 1 of the court and audience indiscriminately assisted in raising the fine. Even before it was raised Dr. Miles, the clerk, told the old man he could go, as he knew the money would be raised, and if it had not we all know " Dr. Miles would have paid any balance himself.?Marion Star.
