CARD FROM THE BANKERS,

To Our Friends and Patrons The
custom of allowing overdrafts by banks
is inconsistent with safe banking
principles. 1t allows the customers to
BORROW from the bank without its cor
sent. 1t forces the bank to furnish
money Unexpectedly, ana frequently at
times when it is not desired to increase
its loans. 1t draws from the funds Of a
bank which have been set apart and re-
served to pay depnsitors who have
money to their credit. 1t is therefore
decided by the directors of the under
signed banks that after July -, 1900,
no customer will be allowed to overcheck
his account under any circumstances
whatever.
The fcers OF each bank will take
pleasure m granting loans TO their Gus
toners in sums to suit their wants, on
presentation of satisfactory notes, but
they are forbidden after July 10 to pay
any check where the drawer has not
Sufficient amount to his credit TO meet

Conflicting Reports of the
Affair.

A warrant was sworn out Mon
day against Policeman Rus sell and
Constable Mike Higgins, who are
charged with the shooting OF Deca-
tur Dawson and his wife, both
negroes, at Mt. Pleasant Sunday.
Upontthe officers being brought to
trial, they waived elimination and
were bound over 10 the Circuit Court
under bond of 81 900 each.
There are several conflicting re-
ports in regard to the shooting. Que
is that one of the Off ,ers was in front
of the negroes house, and started to
hitch "a loose horse to the fence. The
negro woman protested, but the
officer, not needing, proceeded to
hitch the animal.
Tnereupon, the woman jsrked the
mace from Officer Russell and struck
him over the head, and then ran in
to the house, and there, it Is said, he
was met by both the negro man and
woman, and was struck again and
Knocked to the floor. During the
scuffi that followed, the officer fired
several s,.ocs, and one report has it
that the negroes succeeded in taking
Russell's pistol away from him. AT
this juncture officer Higgins entered
the house and fired at the negroes.
The negro man was struck several
times, once in each arm and once in
the abdomen. The woman also re-
ceived bad wound.
The affair occasioned considerable
excitement, but no further trouble

ANOTHER VERSION.

Placed in Bad Light.

IldCou III u odu AlSnC.
There Is another side to Sundays
shooting at Nj. Pleasant, in which
Officers Russell and Higgins danger
ously wounded Decatur Dawson and
his wife, two aged negroes, which
gives very different aspect to the
atfray and places the officers in a
bad position.
Several eye-witnesses to the diff
cdlty will state the facts about as
follows: Russell attempted TO hitch
a horse to the fence in front of the
negroes house, Notwithstanding the
protests of the old woman. who ad-
vanced to unhitch the animal As
she reached the horse, Russell struck
her over the head with bis mace,
and the woman then grabbed the
mace and ran into the house. closing
the door after her. Russell started
after her, and fired three shots
through the door, one of which took
effect in the woman's shoulder, and
then forced his way in. He was
met by the old negro man, who
struck the officer with a stick aud
Knocked him back out of the door.
Russell finally forced bis way in,
however, with pistol in hand. In
order to protect himself the old
negro says he grabbed the officers
pistol, holding it so as to prevent
him from shooting. At this juno
ture, officer Higgins arrived and
ordered the negro TO let Russell
loose, stating that if he did not, he
would shoot him. The negro refused
saying he was afraid Russell would
Kill him. Thereupou, Higgins fred at
the old man, who was struck by the
shot and fell to the floor. While he
was down, Russell also fired at him,
striking him twice.
After the shooting, so the report
goes, the officers carried, or ratner
half dragged, the old man up town
to put him in Jail, but left him lying
in the sun beside the road. His
friends finally took him in charge,
and carried him back to his house.
The witnesses say that both Of
