Mr.. Jones denounced. Acker

Mr.. Jones said he would rath-

Is DEWEY IN HIDING HERE.
Bank Examiner j. O. E~llinStorx
Thinks Dewey is in Eastern Car
DINA.

State Bank Examiner Ellington is in
Charlotte and while there he gave it as
his opinion that Ex-cashier Tom Dewey
is in hiding in Eastern North Carolina
Telling the story the Charlotte News
says:
Mr.. Ellington was put in charge of
the Merchants and Farmers bank Of
New Bern directly after Cashier Dewey
left with something like s1S5, 900 of the
banks money. He remained in charr
until Receiver Thomas Daniels was
named.
Mr.. Ellington informs The News that
IN his opinion Dewey1is in North Caro-
lima. He thinks he left the state di-
rectly after the occurrence but seems
satisfied that he has returned and is.
row in hiding in Eastern North Caro-
liza. .
Up to the present time the exact
amount OF Dewey's defalcation is not
known. 1t was stated several days
ago that the amount would figure up,
S131, 600. Mr.. Ellington thinke these
figures will be increased when all the
outstanding checks come in. He says
that ITO his personal knowledge one
check for $500 is still out and he firm
| " believes that others will show up in
a few days.
1.-The News man was handed n os
Dewey's private postal cards by Mr.. Ell
lington this morning. On one end Of
the card is a splendid likeness Of the
missing cashier. The card was gotten
up in elegant style by Scherer, the sta
toner in New York. Two of these
| We're found in a drawer OF DeWey'S
desk the day after he left New Bern
One is kept by the stockholders and
the other has become the property Of
Mr.. Ellington. The picture on the card
is said to be n Of the best that Dewey
has ever had taken. 1t shows the,
missing man as clean shaven and dress
ed in the best style. Since his depart
Vre the bank officials AVE sent to New
York and secured a large number OF
these cards. They have been sent
broadcast over the country in the hope,
that he might be detected.
Mr.. Ellington informs The. News
that, in his opinion, the directors are
lawfully bound for double the amounI
Of the capital of the bank and in this
event the depositors will not suffer any
loss.
IF this be true, the making good of
the large shortage will fall heavily
upon some prominent families of New
Bern.
4 Last summer Mr.. Ellington states
mat Dewey's entire family spent the
entire summer at the Atlantic HotAl
Morehead. He was paying out eachs
! month about $500 and his salary
amounted to $125. He had, according
to Mr.. Ellington. no other source Of
income, and this fact was known to-
the bank people.-News and Observer

Gar and Kaiser Think so Too

What is needed is a broader respect
for constituted authority, enforced, if
reed be, by the relentless exercise of
military power. The law itself is but
the expression of force, and it's process
es are effective only SO long as there is
a reserve force back of them to make
them respected. Every usurpation of
the law by the mob impairs the vitality
Of those legal processes which are the
safeguards of our institutions, while,
on the other hand, every suppression of
the mob by the vigorous assertions Of
force is a telling stroke for the suprem-
acy of law and order. 1t is, then, upon
the maintenance of a strong, self-re-
Liant, efficient and always ready mill
tary establishment, both state and ma
tioEal, in organization and character,
that we must depend for the inculca-
ton of proper respect for law and for
the preservation of our institutions.
Such an establishment is the one trust
worthy n effective barrier between
the british anarchy of mob rule and
social order.-Army n Navy Journal.

His Distinguished Uncle.

A young lady, the beautiful daugh-
ter of a western congressman, says the
Chicago Record-Herald, was introduce
ed, on her arrival in Washington. to
a dapper young government official,
a relative of the late Thomas F. Bay
ard. During their talk about the Della
ware statesman she pronounced his
name as 1t is spelled, giving the first
a its long sound. The young nan felt
il his duty to correct her, saying that
the name was pronounced "Byard.''
A few days later he sent her a note
asking for the privilege of entertain
ing her and some friends who were
visiting her from the west by taking
them to dinner at his club. In the re-
ply that she wrote she said she would
have been pleased to accept his invi-
tation, only the messenger that he had
"Eayard' seemed very "tayard" and
had dallied upon the way, so that she
had entered into another engagement
before the note reached her. However,
ii he "desayard" her company at some
future time she would be "~al-fayard'
glad to hear from him again.
