Cross and Fret Myers, represent Ing themselves as in the employ of the 'Co-operative Furi l ture Company, of Charlotte, were arrested yesterday at the instigation of several Laurens mill citizens and carried before Magistrate Traynhan charged with conducting a lottery scheme. They were later re leased on a cash bond of $50 each to appear at the next term of the court of general sessions. Their plan of operation was explain ed by one of the 'members of the "clubs" organized, as follows: Fifty people, generally women, were induc ed to join a club of fifty, agreeing to pay 25 cents each week. Every Satur day for lifty weeks a drawing would be held in Charlotte at which one club member would draw a pilece of furni ture alleged to be valued at approxi mately $15. The successful club-mem ber was exempt fnom further pay ments. At the end of fifty weeks, it will be seen, each member of the club would have received a piece of furni tur at a/cost varying from 25 cents to $ 2.50. It is said that they had sue ceed d in organizing several clubs, when some of the members became suspicious when it appeared that a drawing was not being made for each club. A canvas of the mill 'villages disclosed that 8.1 members had not re ceived a prize. How many clubs were in actual operation and how long each club had been running has not yet been ascertained and will have to be brought out at the trial but the agents showed the names of flive persons to whom they had delivered prizes. The men disclaimed any intention to defraud and denied that their provosi tion was a gamie of chance. After the bond had been fixed up collection from club members was resumed. Deputy Sheriff Blakelcy, City Po licemian Powers and Rural Policeman Sullivan made the arrests in the case. ilaseballI Next Wed nesday.
