VICTIMS OF A \ .1. HOAX.
Tar Heel Spectators CauIht by False
 Rumors of q p. .naium.

Rumors of P smium.
 An advertisement in newspaper recently stated that a Washington clothing store would pay "18 cents for 1909 pennies" Because of this advertisement, says a Charlotte (N. O letter to the Washington Post, practically all the 1909 pennies in the Piedmont section of North Carolina and in half a dozen towns in South Carolina have come into the hands of spectators.
 Several weeks ago it was rumored that in coining the pennies of 1902 a large amount of gold had been ac- cidentally spilled into the molten copper and that the government wished to recall the issue of pennies because of their intrinsic value. Three men collected every 1902 pen ny to be found in the banks and stores in Charlotte and sent agents out of town to assist in collecting pennies. On March 3, 1902, pennies were freely purchased here for three cents each; on the fifth day they had brought five cents, and on the next day Edwin B. Gresham, of the firm of Gresham Co.,, sold to Baggage Agent Bonner, of the Southern, 330 1909 pennies for $33. Bonner stated that the next day he sold the same pennies to bank in Alexandria, Va, for 15 cents apiece.
 The report of this transaction was brought here and spread to neigh boring towns, and for the last four or five days the coveted pennies have never been sold for less than eight cents and have frequently changed hands at 10 and 12 cents. Gresham and other purchasers set by baggage agents over 5000 pennies to Wash ington to be redeemed at the 18-cent valuation.
 The advertisement stated that the firm would redeem the pennies at noon on a recent Saturday, but be- fore the large sacks of Charlotte copper could be taken to the store it was learned that the advertisement had string to it. Itis said that the first person to appear at the store with pennies was informed that the firm had agreed to pay not Is cents for each 1909 penny, but Is cents for 1909 pennies.
 The agent for the local purchasers did not report there until the next Tuesday, and since his return numer- ous telegrams have been sent recall ing the orders to buy the 1902 pen nies. At Mooreville on that day pen nies bearing that date sold at nine cents, and in Salisbury and other places they were bought at large premium. The rumor of the chance to make easy money has just struck the small town section of upper South Carolina, and the mad scramble for pennies is agitating the entire population.
