This is a true snake story, beC

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.

Married Men Put Another Over.
Ehrhardt. 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.

the way for our farmers in the poultry
business. Mr. Crawford has secured
the services of L. W. Wertheim,
of Blairstown, N. J., who has had 24
years' experience in raising chickens
and is now president of the Susquehanna
Poultry Company, large poultry
ranch in New Jersey. Mr. Werth>im

two miles from Cherawv The ranch
will be stocked with 3,000 White
Leghorn chickens of the very best
strain obtainable and the equipment
for housing and breeding is to be the
latest and best models now used. For
instance, the laying houses have electric
lights installed equipped with
switches that will automatically turn
on the lights at 3 o'clock in the morning,
thus giving the hens a 15-hour
work day.
Mr. Crawford plans to sell non-fertile
eggs for table use, hatching eggs
by the setting, day old chicks and
broilers. He figures fie win marKei
between 25,000 to 30,000 broilers a
year.
Mr. Wertheim, who was in Cheraw
a few days ago closing final arrangements,
said that the climate here was
ideal for the project and he was delighted
with the prospect of making
Cheraw his future home. The ranch
will cover about 20 acres and will be

"J. RUFUS WALL1XGFORD."
Held in Connection With the Theft of
Millions From Mails.
John W. Worthington, the "J. 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.
He started the American bank at

117 North Dearborn Street. 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.
Seized Again, Flees.
Then, "in June, 1919, he was again
arrested, this time in connection with
the alleged theft of $135,000 worth '
of securities from the Crittenden ,
Company, of Pittsburg. Many of the
stolen bonds were found in Worth
ington's offices. !
Placed under $10,000 bonds, he im- T

punishment. This time federal officers
declare he won't escape.

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.
