This is a true snake story, beC V* o Y\ TV* r? o m Act L'CtUSC liiuuiao viia^mau, a ihuol reliable citizen from tbe Montmorenci section vouches for it. Last week Bub Johnson, the colored caretaker of the H. M. Dibble place at the Vale of Montmorenci, noticed one of the fine cows standing hunched and cramped in the pasture and went up close to the animal to see what was the matter with her. Imagine his surprise when he saw a long black snake coiled around Bossy's hind legs with its head and mouth held tight to one of the teats busy suck-1 in the milk from her. As Johnson had nothing with him to attack the reptile he seized a large lump of clay and threw it at the snake, which at once let go the teat and rapidly uncoiling itself shot through the grass.?Aiken Journal and Review.

August 16.?Much to the chagrin and disappointment of the young men of the town, the married a;en nave again demonstrated their superior:'y on the base ball diamond, j The young fellows played a good game but the old timers had the edge on them and won the game 6 to 3. Ehrhardt, high school pitcher, who with a little more experience will develop into a star, was on the mound for the singles, while Hiers, who was the regular pitcher for the Ehrhardt team twelve years ago, did the twirling for the marrieds. While the marrieds have won both games that have been played between these two teams, the marrieds just simply cannot convince the young fellows that they are beaten. It is very likely that a third defeat will have to be administered. Ehrhardt Beats Smoaks. Smoaks was the victim in a game with the locals here Friday afternoon. Biggs, who started the game for Smoaks, lasted only four innings. Strickland, who relieved him, was very effective, but the damage had already been done and his team could not recover. The loyal rooters tried to rattle Strickland, but soon gave up as a hopeless task. We do not believe it can be done even in Bamberg. His being deaf and dumb did not handicap him in his pitching in the least. Kearse and Kirkland pitched consistent ball for the locals. The score was 6 to 4. Pprsnnal Mention. Mrs. J. B.

Rufus Wailingford," of Chicago, is under arrest charged with having been the "brains*' of a "robbers' trust" that, among other thieveries, directed the recent national series of mail robberies in which the loot has totaled millions of dollars. It is alleged by the government authorities that Worthington and his partner, Owen E. Evans, also under arrest, in addition to being concerned in the actual robberies, have since that time altered and sold to reputable investors and brokers Liberty bonds valued at'hundreds of thousands of dollars and the securities forming the major part of the loot to render them saleable without detection. Some of the Charges. Among the cases with which the authorities declare Worthington and his associates have been connected are the following robberies: Toledo, February 17, 1921; loot, $1,000,000. Pullman, 111., August 20, 1920; loot, $100,000. " 1 An.il a Jjearuurn oucci oiauuu, a^ui u, 1921; loot, $350,000. Mount Vernon, 111., January 14, 1921; $212,000. Chicago Avenue Postal Substation, March 4, 1921; loot, $500,000. Tuceoa, Ga., September 10, 1920; loot, $300,000. Council Bluffs, la., November 17, 1920; loot, $3,500,000. Minneapolis, Minn., December 3, 1920; loot, $50,000. Centerville, la., March 22, 1921; loot, $92,000. In addition, the recent disappearance of $3,000,000 worth of Sinclair Oil stock in New York is laid at the doors of the "trust." Worthington denies the charge and asserts his complete innocence. His career as the Chicago police records know it, is one of picturesque and varied activities. Little appears to be known of him previous to 1902, but he was generally conceded in financial circles to a wealthy and successful real estate dealer. The methods he adopted in that year, however; drew attention to him, and a thorough investigation developed that in 1898, while located in New York, he and his brothers operated as bankers and brokers, and John Worthington C1-'"" ewin^Hn? was St!ILL IU OIU5 uxiife 1U1 .J.. His sentence was commuted and he came to Chicago, opening an account in a Chicago bank, August 6, 1902. Begins as a Promoter. In 1906 he was located at 72 East Madison street and was reported as having been successful in the real estate business. He was reputed to have accumulated a fortune of several hundred thousands of dollars. In 1906 he began promotion of various companies. He was elected nrosidpnt nf the Security Life and Annuity Corporation, a West Virginia loncern, with a capital stock of $500,000. This position he resigned about May 1, 1906. /Then came the promotion of the Visible Typewriter Manufacturing company, of Chicago, in connection with ^yhich be became involved in litigation and was charged with misrepresentation in regard to the securities of a $60,000 bond issue. About this time he was also employv.tt ? irtaoi hanlfjas an exDert on CU VJJ Of AVVMA real estate and loans. This connection was discontinued when he landed In trouble. Makes Debut as Banker. In the early part of 1907 Worthington was heard of many times in connection with various bank deals, but in no case did they materialize until he was elected vice president of i the American National Bank, of Kan- ' sas City in the summer of 190-7 and changed its name. It was then learned he had borrowed money in Chicago to buy an interest in the Kansas ? City institution. Later he acquired control of the Federal National Bank, of unicago, and was elected vice president, but his alleged record did not meet with the approval of the Chicago Clearance House Association and after a few months of operation the bank liquidated. Early in 1907 Worthington became interested in tne .\ew jtvowier ury Goods Company, of Kansas City. The company has a capital stock of $100,000 and Worthington owned nearly all of it. In January, 190S, this company was forced into bankruptcy. Worthington being charged at the time with having disposed of $."0,000 worth of assets without consideration. In September, 1911. Worthington was named as defendant in a fugitive warrant on charges of issuing fradulent notes in connection with the American bank. He surrendered ami was released on - bonds, the charge being the swindling of the Night and Day- Bank of Kansas City of $2,500. While this charge was pending Worthington came to Chicago.

This he conducted until the organization of the American Banking Association with a capital of $500,000. In 1914, this association gave Chicago one of its "private banks scares'' in a sensa tional failure, in 'Which Worthington was charged with having concealed or disposed of more than $400,000 worth of assets. All these years Worthington's name appeared in court records. On April 3, 1907, he was sued in municipal court for $500. August 13, 1907, a suit was filed for $3,000; November 7 of the same year one for $1,500; November 20, 1907, one for $20,000, and on December 9 of the same year anorther for $4,500 was filed. On January 24, 1908, Worthington filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States circuit court at Chicago, but the proceedings later were dismissed. In April, 1908, another petition was filed and again dismissed. In the three months following August 24, 1908, suits were filed against him aggregating more than $50,000. With the failure of the American Banking Association in 1914 Worthington disappeared and was the object of a national hunt. Captured, he wasn't convicted. I On December 10, 1916, his name again appeared when he was arrested in hfs "real estate" offices at 505 1 Courtland building, charged with having manv.thousands of dollars in stolen bonds in his possession.

FOWLER RAINS RUIN JASPER CROPS. Vo Work Done Last Six Weeks. Wells All Filled With Water. Ridgeland, Aug 13.?The farmers in Jasper county have practically lost their entire crop this year, due to the c.vcessive rams, r or me past six weeks it has rained every day, the farmers not being able to work their crops. The sweet potato crop was what many of the farmers planted^for their cash money, but as they have been unable to work for six weeks it is now estimated that not over 20 per cent, of an average crop will be gathered. The roads are almost impassable throughout the country, the county commissioners being unable to work them, due to continual rain. The people are blue throughout the county because of the great amount of water that has fallen recently, and those who have wells on their places no longer need chains and buckets to get water. All that is necessary is to dip the water by hand out of the wells. Best in His Line. "Is Huff a good after-dinner speaker?" % "Yes, he stutters and what's more, he's very short winded."
