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.

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. Unfortunately,
we had not made a date in advance
and found the higher officials of the
Coast Line in conference, engaging
4U a o4-4- A^.11 AL - 1 - k
tiucnuuii ui mi iiil* superinienaents
and active workers over the entire
system, and we v/ere not able to
present the matter to the officials
that we htought were proper to put
the subject before. 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.
"Up to this point your transporta- ,
tion committee has handled the mat- j
ter on its own initiative to a certain ^
extent?being particular to talk the |
subject in general terms?and we ?
suggest that the Chamber of Com- !
mercc tonight give consideration as ]
to the appointment of a representative

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.
