% GRAINGER WORKED FOR TWO BANKS Resigning Net Long Ago to: Engage in the "Movie"' Business BANK NOT HURT BY RECENT THEFT Supposed That Bonds Talscn Thanksgiving Ni?ht?Part Found Hidden in Safe. Luther M. Grainier , who is confined in the county jail at White- j ville, N. C., charged with the theft j nf (IftO wni'fli nf 1 ihortv Roi:f!sl from the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Tabor, N. C.. is an Horry county boy, as the Herald has found | upon investigation by one of its correspondents. He comes from the Lake Swamp section of tlie county. lie went to Tabor about four years a pro and was employed as bookkeeper at the Bank of Tabor. In the fall of 1919 he was appointed to tlie position of cashier at that bank. He held this position for several months and resigned. When the new Farmers and Merchants Bank was organized in the early part of 1920, Grainier was selected as assistant cashier. This position he; held for a short time. This new bank has some safe deposit boxes which are let out to citizens for the safe keeping; of bonds and other security. Grainger remained in Tabor unti1 about two months ago, when he left there and went to Latta to engage in the moving picture business. He visited back at Tabor at different times. He was at Tabor on last Thanksgiving night. Those who accuse him of taking the bonds believe that he entered the bonk on Thanksgiving night thr.^Ii a back window, opened the va\it and secured the1 bonds, as they **'/ere missed by the owners on Saturday following Thanksgiving. Suspicion at once rested on Grain.'. cr. He returned to Tabor on Sunday and was married to Miss Ada Graham, daughter of W. C. Graham, the postmaster at Tabor. Although suspicion pointed to him, according to officials at the bank, yet he was not molested at the time, as plans had not matured. On Tuesday morning recently the sheriff of Dillon county made a search of the young ma i s room at Latta and found the property in the pockets of some of his clothing. Grainger got about $30,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, war saving stamps, mortgages, etc. Most of this property has been recovered with the exception of about $3,000. Part of it was found in a cafe Alt Tabor, where it is supposed it was hidden after being taken from the bank. His theft did not injure the bank itself. All fche property belonged to individuals who had rented the safe deposit boxes and placed their prop erty m them. Until about a year ago it is said that everyone had unbounded faith in this young man. Since he returned from the army opinion has been different to some extent. He is about twenty-four years of age and of a \/ery pleasing and accommodating disposition. Many people regret that he has found himself in this difficulty. The greater portion of the bonds belonged to R. M. Garrell, president, and D. F. McGougan, vice president, of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. o OFFICIALS INSPECT LOCAL SITUATION t (Continued from page 1.) pany to the point where they plan an inspection of the local situation on December 15 and 1(5. This fact appears in the report of the transportation committee, submitted by Mr. Burroughs at Friday night's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. This report follows: ''We herewith submit our report of the activities of the transportation committee since the last meeting. "The principal object of our at* tention has been efforts to secure cooperation of the A. C. L. railroad toward better side track facilities in the town and the removal of the main line from Main street, etc. "The writer called at the office of the A. C. L. railroad, company some weeks ago with object of having an interview with Mr. Albright on the subject. Mr. McCullough, of the Coast Line, very kindly wertt to Wilmington at that time to give any assistance that he could.

However, we did take up the question with Mr. Moore and are frank to say that we not only received no encouragement, but .rather considerable discouragement, .tiff he said that the present financial status of <the system was such that he could not afford to even report the matter to the higher officials for their consideration'*After the writer left Wilmington "Mr. McCullough secured an interview with Mr. Newall, and wrote that Mr. KeweH would be glad to correspond with us with a view to an appointment to go>over the situation, with a view of coming to a clearer understanding of our needs, and also, if possible, giving an expression ol what steps they would, or would not take toward meeting them. This ap pointment was confirmed for a meet Jng with Mr. Newall here in Conwaj on December 9th. Under date of i letter dated November 30, Mr. Newal recalls that appointment and askt * for a new appointment on December 15th or 16th, at which meeting Mr. Wilcox, of the Coast Line, will he in attendance.

C 12,0,tf 9 YBE HOIXY HEHIT.T), CO NOTICE TO TEACHERS AND TRUSTEES The following: letter has been sent out by Supt. M. J. Bullock to the principals of rural graded schools in the county. The applications from these (>5 schools will amount to 510,000 this year. The one-teacher schools have already asked for $2,000 from the extension fund. In addition to these sums, all but ' rive schools will be eligible for equalizing aid, but the.se applications will iot be made untii th<p schools have closed. When Mr. Bullock took charge of! the schools three * yours ago, only Dight schools had as much as an 8- | mill tax, while 88 had less, five of them had no school tax. Now only five schools, viz., Bear Bay No. 8, Bucksport No. 75), Bucksville No. 77, Vaught No. 92 and Virgo No. 75 has less than 8 mills for school purposes. Virgo has held two elections for the purpose of voting up to 8 mills, but has failed each time. The letter follows: To the Teachers of Rural Graded Schools: Please read every word and follow every direction. Everything asked for is of vital importance in securing staff aid. 1 am inclosing application blanks for Rural Graded Aid from the state. You need not fill out the financial report on the first page, as it can best t>e supplied from this office. Do not fill report on page 2 about "Facts about other schools in the district" unless there is a second white school in your district. If there is a negro school be sure to uive its name but other facts concerning this school can be supplied from this office. Answer fully overly question about "Building and Equipment of Graded School." ? If you do not know the size of doors and windows and length of blackboard, measure them. It is important to answer the question, "Is seating arranged so that pupils do not face the windows?" The law requires separate sanitary closets for boys and girls. If you have not these closets, they shoiVid be built at once in order to secure state aid this year. Under "Term Enrollment and Attendance of Graded Schools" on page 2, beginning with the words, "Total enrollment to date for the current year," on line 7, fill every blank remaining on the page. I can supply the information needed above that line. On page 3, give the information asked for about each teacher; begin-. n inn' vviHi t li n ni'in/iMial ...v.. vnv pi iu\ ijiui iiiivi vuPMiif; with the primary teacher. Be sure to give grades taught and total number of pupils taught. Do not fail to give .all information concerning the certificate of each teacher. Every teacher must have a state certificate. Every certificate must be registered in this office. If the certificates of the teachers in your school have not been registered, send them to me with this application blank. If any teacher has not a state certificate, one must be secured immediately. Each trustee must sign on page 4. Program blanks are furnished all schools at the beginning of the term. We are sending another supply. Send two ink copies of each teachers' program when you return this blank. Fill every space in every column. The program shows the actual daily work of each teacher. At the top of *ne .:v,nk, be sure to give the grades taught, the number of pupils in each grade, and the total number of pupils. The principal and the teachers should sign at the bottom of the page. Latin will not be approved on any program from a school of less than four teachers unless special arrangements are made with the county superintendent of education. It is absolutely necessary that these blanks and programs shall be returned to me hot later than December 13. I feel sure that your trustees will co-operate with you in fillin# this blank. I know that I can depend upon the principals to return all needed papers to me by December 13. The law prevents the approval of the pay warrant of any teacher whose state certificate is not registered in this office. We hope that every teacher in the county can come to our teachers' meeting December 11. Please come and bring your assistants also. Yours truly, M. J. BULLOCK, County Superintendent of Education.
