Burroughs Took Out a Warrant for Mr. T. M. Fullerton, Former Manager of the Farmer, s Warehouse, Charging Him With ( Breach of Trust. At a Preliminary ' Hearing Before Magistrate Chestnut* the Defendant Was Exonerated. Magistrate W. H. Chestnut o Tuesday of last week held a preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs. T. M. Fullerton, who was charged in the warrant with breech of trust with fraudulent intention. This warrant had been sworn out . gainst Mr. Fullerton by Mr. L. H. Burroughs, the President of the Farmer s Tobacco Warehouse Co., who conducted the tobacco business at that warehouse last year, employed Mr. Fullerton to manage it. The testimony at the trial developed an interesting situation, in regard to $811.17, the proceeds of a lot of leaf tobacco snipped by T. N. Fullerton, Manager, to a warehouse in Florence. S. C , for resale. The warrant charged that the defendant had mis-appropriated this lot of tobacco as it had b?en purchased with warehouse funds, and the proceeds had not been returned. The evidence showed thru the tobacco had been bought /rom farmers in thia county by a pin hooker n&med Colo, who was using money of the Farmer's Warehouse furnished by Mr. Burroughs through Fullerton as Manager. After the shipment went to Florence, Cole wont to that city with the ostensible purpose of helping in the sale. Mr. Fullerton did not trust him and wired th ? Warehouse there to ruake th* check payable under no circumstances to C<?le. This check for $811.17 was in fact made out to Fullerton, Manager, as payee, ar.d delivered to I '.Colo by the Warehouse in Florouce after 1 he sale. On the way back with this cheek Cole stopped at MulJiuv and purchased a lot of tob icco of Yarborough at that place j and tendered payment with this check of $811 17. Fie had no author ity to endorse tho check but he forced the endorsement of T N Fuller! on, Manager, on the back , (hereof and Yarborough gave him 1he deference bv giving him anoth er check, Cole then came to Conway a d rendered Fuilerton thin now check he had received from Yarbor\ ough and a bill of lading for tho tobacco ho had bought at Mullins in settlement of the tirat chfmk. Fullorlon refused to do this and informed Mr. burroughs at the time Ho wired the bank at Florence in time to st< p the payment of the check for $811 17, and that amount is tied no there still and has bcon evor si ?. e September. 1911, when all this occcurred. The Magistrate dismissed i he c.p o, as there was no proof of fraudulent indent on the part of the defendant.

Rev. W. R.

At this time there areas ipany as six private water work systems being installed in residences in different parts of the town. It is the wonder of many < people who visit Conway fcnat tha town does not have public water works and sewetage system lor the public benefit. The town represont a large amount of taxable property so far as actual value is concerned, the tax rate is unusually high for a town of its siip?, and these a.re one or two of the rea sous why it is a wonder that the town itself could uot put in these things. At this time nearly every rosidsnce in Conway has a privatewater and sewer system of its own. Special- Notice. Tha Epworth League will hold its* rcgula# busine-s meeting at Epworth Hall on next Friday evening at 8 o'clock. A full attendance is urged as we have some very important business to atteoe to.
