FOUR PER CENT ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS A Bad Beginning. Walter Kirby, a negro youth, seven teen years old, has started on the road to the penitentiary eariy. For some time the people of Limestone have been annoyed by someone breaking Into their houses while the inmates were absent. Several depredations of this character have taken place. Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Claud Burgess were away from home and someone broke Into their bouse, steal ing two finger rings, a ladies’ brace let and a pocketbook. Mr. Burgess was up town at the time. On his re turn he discovered the loss. He came up town and, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Henry Lockhart, re turned to the house, put dogs on the track, and soon Walter Kirby was in toils. The goods were found on his person. He was taken before Magis trate Bridges yesterday morning and granted a preliminary hearing, after which he was bound over to court. Good Looks! Good Wear!

Crimp Mag. Contest to Be Continued. When The Ledger inaugurated the voting contest for the most popular R. F. D. carrier In Cherokee county we reserved the right to continue the contest until October 1st. We did not intend at that time to run the contest longer than today, but Inter est in the voting has not been as brisk as we would have liked for It to be nor as we had a right to expect it to be. We have decided, however, to continue the contest until October 1st. In the meantime we want the friends of the various carriers to get busy and enliven the contest by voting early and often.
