IN MEMORIAM.

The following lines were written b.
Mrs. Georgia Henley, of Arlington, Ga
in memory of her loving sister, Mrs
j, w. Twitty, who died March 9Th.
She has gone Our loved one has left US.
Twas so hard to say goodbye,
But God took her for his glory,
To her home In the beautiful sky.
While the sun was so beautifully shining,
And songbirds were trilling so sweet:
When all nature seemed tull Of gladness,
Gods love kissed her to sleep.
For her death held no painful dart
Her life was so full of love,
On earth she had chosen the better part,
And longed for her home above.
Dear loved one, though we shall miss you,
We know that you are at rest;
And God in his Infinite wisdom,
Knoweth and doeth all things best

Syndicate Formed to Provide Money for
Uses of Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.

syndicate has just been formed. it was learned
yesterday from authoritative sources. which will
provide a large sum of money for the uses of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company. The amount
OF the loan could not be ascertained but there is
ground for estimating it at between S5.O0OO0O and
Sl06o0G00 Associated with J. p. Morgan & Co. in
the syndicate the National CITY Bank the
First National Bank. the Morton Trust Company
and several other leading institutions.
An early report that this loan was connected
with the bonds issued last year found to be in
correct During the fiscal year 19O1-O2 the com
pany greatly increased the field of its operations
purchasing number of manufacturing plants and
a large tract of phosphate rock land in the South
developing its Mexican sulphur property and
acquiring controlling interest in one of the Ger
man potash mines In making these acquisitions
the company used more than $1,000 of its working
capital and obligated itself to pay about $500 900
more, and for the purpose of making the working
capital whole again and completing the payments
still due the stockholders at the annual meeting in
July. 1902 authorized the issue of short time col
lateral trust bonds TO an amount not exceeding
S7.000000. These bonds were sold to a syndicate a
member of which said yesterday that the entire
issue of 100000 had long ago been placed with in
vestors. During the year Just ended the company
has continued its policy OF expansion, with the
suit that although its business has been of a
profitable nature. considerable floating indebted
ness has again been incurred The planters Of the

SHORTAGE is 1925 900.

Farmers ard Merchants Bank of this city

bezzlement in the history of the State. The re-
ward for Dewey's capture has been increased to
5000 He left only $1,000 in cash in the bank
81 900 in gold.
Gambling in cotton futures is one way in
which the money went. For time he skiltuly
hid hiz embezzlements by false entries. On July
% State Bank Examiner Ellington examined
the bank and as the books indicated irregu-
larities, Immediately made inquiries of the cor
respondents, and the first reply received dis
closed a shortage of $4,000
Mr.. Ellington at once telegraphed to the
other banks, asking their balances. 1t was
thought at first by the directors and the eX-
aminer that the shortage would not exceed
$4,000 but when replies to kilograms showed a
shortage of $4,000 in the accounts the bank
was compelled to suspend. The shortage has
steadily increased to $125,000.
Dewey. anticipating the disclosures. left here
Saturday evening, Ostensibly personal bust
ness, to return on Monday. He was last heard
from on a Seaboard Air Line train going North.
From the train he mailed letters to his brother,
Charles Dewey, of Goldsboro, and to Governor
AyCock, telling of his shortage. expressing
gret for his betrayal of the trust reposed in him
unknown. Mr.. Ellington finished his work to-
day, and turned the books over to Thomas
Daniels. the receiver, who will proceed to settle
the affairs of the defunct bank
