BENEDICT'S BANK FAILS.
mystery of the Cashier Who Disap-
peared Here Explained.

Athens, Ga, Nov. 13.-At a
meeting Of stockholders this
morning it was decided to place
the Exchange bank IN the hands
OF permanent receiver. A. S.
Parlser was appointed. A com
mittee Of the directors reported
the capital stock from $4,000 to
$4,000. A discrepancy in ac-
counts amounts to about $4,000.
The Exchange bank is that of
which John A Benedict, who dis
appeared from Greenville. S. c.,
was cashier Its troubles seem to
explain his disappearance and to
make it plain that the nan never
suspected Of wrong was guilty
and has gone away voluntarily
and hid himself. Even now Ath-
ems people are slow to accept the
explanation, but the figures on
the DOCKS seem to leave no room
for doubt on this mystery of
months.
How or why Mr.. Benedict came
short is not known yet; but the
facts that there was trouble in
his accounts and that he knew his
bank was virtually wrecked ia
too evident for dispute. People
In Athens now believe against
their inclination that Mr.. Bene-
dict went to Greenville with a
we'll laid plan in his head, disap.
peared purposely and is now
alive and we'll.

GREATLY INCREASED

treat-They Find Food Scarce.

London, Nov. 13-4 30 a. NJ
There are signs Of greatly in
creased Boer activity in Natal
and along the western frontier.
All the dispatches tend to show
that the British are holding out
ably. 1t is beginning to be proved
that the acquisition of artillery,
which has destroyed the former
mobility Of the Boer forces, has
also failed to give them any com
pensating advantage. On the con.
trary the reserve is the case. 1t is
held here, that, if the Beers had
not been hampered by the trans
port of heavy guns and their res
cue from tight places, Gen. Jou-
bert might ere this have been in
Pietermaritzburg.
1t is believed that the Boer re-
treat will be made over the Dry
kensburg range into the Zout.
pansberR district, where every
preparation for provisioning and
maintaining the Beers is said to
have been made for the last stand,
and where it will be difficult to
dislodge them. Already it is ru.
mored that they are in straits for
food around Laoysmith and may,
therefore, be obliged to abandon
the siege.
Dispatches from Estcorrt indi.
cate there is no foundation for
ths fear that the Lyddite ammu-
milton at Ladysmith has been ex-
hausted. Some officers seen in
Ladysmith indicate the Boer bonn
bardment has to some extent been
effective. Strong bids are being
made by the Beers for the sup
port Of the Cap Dutch, but with
out much success so far. From
Stormberg it is reported that the
Free State forces are working
slowly toward Dordrecht, with a
view of attacking Queenstown
and cutting off the towns in the
northern district Of Cape Colony.

explained that it would save the state
from $4,000 to $4,000 year. It was
passed. The committee on state
affairs reported for passage the joint
resolution for an anti-pass constitu-

inserting a forfeiture office clause
The judiciary committee had then

against the forfeiture amend

minority report in favor of it and also
in favor of yet another amendment

The first question was on the adoption
of the minority report. Mr.. Hall ia
vored it, declaring that, in his judg-

be utterly futile unless it embraced the
forfeiture clause.
Mr.. Catlin wanted to know if the
