FORC5ER " GETS BY" WITH BAD CHECK Rilks Columbia Rank in Rum of ?;{7S. Name .Misused is Well Known. A clever swindler of the kind described in detective stories has apiioovorl in Poln nnW?.? rvM*vu ail vuiUlllt/lU. XIII- UI)MV.'I lUlJh individual has already procured $-'578 in one operation. His description has Ween given to the police. The swindler was discovered Saturday afternoon by one of Columbia's largest banks. Just before noon a well dressed young man appeared at the paying teller's window and presented an envelope. The teller thought he recognized the writing of the address as that of a well known attorney of Columbia. The teller ripped the letter open. Inside he found a letter, stationery of the attorney being used, asking that the bank pay his check for $378, which was inclosed. The check was tilled out on a private check blank of the attorney. The teller thought he recognized the signature. The money was paid and the stranger departed. Ten minutes after the stranger left the bank the teller made a closer examination of the signature on the check and found that one of the lei ters was "off," when compared to the genuine signature. The attorney was notified and he stated that no such check had been issued. Detectives were called into the case and the police were notified. It developed that the stranger in some manner had obtained the private stationery of the attorney and 20 of his Idank checks. The bank will have to make good the amount. The attorney was very much mystified.?The State. Notice To Tresspasers. All parties are notified that trespassing on the place known as the T. J. H. Smith place is strictly forbidden.

It NEGRESS BEEASE I'ARDONEI) DIED TWO YEARS AGO An interesting phase in (iovernor Blease's recent pardon of Anna Drmnmond, a nejrress, developed this morninjr when the records were produced to shaw that the woman died in the Spartanburg county jail two years afro. The woman was convicted before a Spartanburg county jury for the alleged murder of her husband, which occurred near Whitney in 1011. She was sentenced to life in the State penitentiary, but on account of the woman's nursing infant, she was allowed to remain in the county jail anil the infant was sufficiently ma* tared to be delivered to the keeping sf relatives. Following the death of the woman, the baby died shortly ifter. Governor Hlease granted the dead .vornan a pardon in his Christmas tardon list. It is recalled that the governor exended clemency in a case like this, ast summer.?Spartanburg Journal. J
