The Bnnk Assigned,
Under ARREST,

At meeting OF the board Of d.
rectors Of the Farmers and Merchants is
hank, Of Camden the following action
was taken: Having, with the MD of
two able experts, examined all Of the
available records. books, papers and
accounts found in the bank vault, the
result Of which satisfies the board
that the assets and securities of the
bank are sufficient eventually to meet
all it's legal obligations and to pay all
dcpositors and other creditors, but In
view Of the serious Interruptions caus-
ed to its business by the calamity
which has occurred, the lack at present
OF an available person willing to as
sumo the duties of president and in
the further condition which exists
that some time will be necessary to
convert the assets into cash, we do
hereby resolve and determine for the
best interest Of all creditors under the
circumstances to make an assignment
Of all the property, securities and
credits OF the bank to e. S. Vaux and
A. D. Kennedy to be administered for
the equal benefit of all creditors, ac-
cording to law" This resolution was
signed by the entire board Of direct
ors and the deed Of assignment excut-
ed at once. y

Killed Him In sclrDerensc.

Once upon time two cronies were
sitting up with their dead pal and one
Of them concluded he must get q
drink before the saloons closed. The
other one said he must 20, too, but,
with shade Of decency the first one
said it would not do to leave The
corpse. So 1t was agreed, finally to
take the corpse and they put a hat
on it-got 1t between them and walk
ed to the saloon. Standing the corpse
up against the barathey ordered drinks
for three. The two drank their whis-
key and walked out leaving the corpse
still and motionless. The bar-keeper
demanded the price of the drink
once-twice and as there was no re-
sponse he struck the corpse between
the eyes and sent it sprawllng to the
floor.
The two cronies rushed in, felt the
pulse Of their dead friend and exclaim-
ed:
MY God, man, you have killed
him!"
The bar-kepper replied: Gentle
men, l cannot help 1.-THE scoundrel
drew knife on me and L killed him
in sclf-defensc'"
And that's the kind of self.defense
we have been hearing about lately.

r. JUDsoN's SPLENDID GIFT.
ofTwenty Thousand Dollars to Fur
man University.

man University.
Furman university Friday received
the largest gift ever made by one in
dividual during the half century Of its
existence under tho present name in
Greenville. DR.. Chas. Fl. Judson has
donated $4,000 to the endowment
fund upon condition that the present
movement is successful whereby $780,
600 is to be secured for this fund by
Dec. |, 1909, and that $4,000 in addi-
tion be obtained upon like conditions
so that the sum total will reach $685.
OO0.
The friends Of Furman are jubilant
over this generous gift and every one
feels assured that tie action Of DR..
Judson will secure the remainder OF
the 100000 within the time limit
and that the $4,000 additional will
also be obtained in due time as an
nounced In The State few days ago.
1t is expected that 800, 900 will be In
hand Saturday night, which will leave
only $4,000 more to be made certain
in the next 10 days, which will cause
great rejoicing throughout the State
and beyond ltS limits.
DR.. Judson became connected with
with Furman university more than so
years ago and has filled the chair Of
mathematics ever since. In the last
few months he has been serving as
emeritus professor without salary and
now he has crowned his long connec-
tion with the Institution by this sup
erb gift in the nick Of time. He Is 81
years of age and Is in excellent health,
quite robust for one at his advanced
time Of life. His gift 10 the largest
ever made to Baptist shool IN South
Carolina by any single individual and
perhaps the largest made to denom-
national college in this vicinity since
BENZ. Woofford founded the institu-
tion bearing his name. j. A. II.

a MEAN THIEF.
Frank Jones, White Man, is
Boarding House RobDer.

FRANK Jones, white Man, Is a
4 Boarding House Isobber.
The State says frequent depreda-
tions have been made of late on
boarding houses in Columbia. The
burglaries are Of two classes, money
alone seems to be the object Of SO me
operators and clothes and valuable
household effects OF the others. The
clothes thief is generally supposed to
be negro, but recent developments
disclose the information that one
white man at least is SO low and de-
graded as to be in this class.
Frank Jones is the name he gave
when arrested, and he claims that Ra-
leigh, n. c., is his native city. Jones
is tall, cleanshaven young man and
gives his age at 23 years. After he
was overwhelmed with proof jones
confessed to number of depreda-
tionS on residences In the city and
told police authorities where some of
the goods could be found.
The manner in which Jones con-
Quoted his scheme was not in the
least dramatic. He never climbed
the clinging Ivy, nor did the moon
pour is Silvery rays upon the rogue'S
unhallowed head as he risked life or
limb to enter the window in the sec
ond or third story; nor did he open
lock-; with the use Of q skeleton key,
nor with a diamond remove window
pane and enter sleeping apartments
with the stealth of cat. He did
none of these things, for this moral
runt Is without courage, and has no
higher conception Of the rogucs pro-
fcssion than to go from one board
ing house to another, obtaining board
and lodging and decamping during
the first night with the clothes of his
room mate.
Special Officer Strickland and
Thackham, with the assistance Of
Policeman Broom, made study Of
Jones methods Of disposng Of the
stolen goods, and when they were in a
position to recover practically all the
swag they closed in on Frank Jones,
whose aliases are legion, and now the
confessed clothes-roguc lies in Jail in
default OF bond awaiting trial at the
spring term OF general sessions court.
The night Jones spent in Mrs Faulk's
boarding house, corner of Lady and
Assembly streets, he carried away Mr..
w. w. FogePs best suit of clothes.
Jones was wearing the trousers when
arrested. At Mrs. W. I. McDonnald's,
q suit OF clothes OyercOat n pair of
shoes were stolen from Mr.. W. 3.
Huey. Jones also was successful the
night he applied for lodging at the
Mccullough house on Gervais street,
and 1t Is said that he got three pairs
Of pants and a coat from a man by
the name Of Rice. There happened
to be only small sums of money in the
clothing appropriated by the rogue;
at no time did he get over S5 in this
manner

after midnight, he was lying on the

SHOCKING lRAGEDY.
President and Cashire of q Camden
Bank Kill Themselves

Our neigbboring town Camden was
the scene Of two terrible tragedies on
last Monday. Col. e. Miller Boykin,
United States marshal for this state
under Cleveland and leading banker
of Camden, killed himself accidental
ly in the afternoon.
After reaching homo ne picked up
his gun, which had complicated
reversible action, and went out to
shoot hawk. He was discovered an
hour afterwards lying dead while his
gun was found leaning on the opposite
side Of the fence. The supposition is
that as he started to climb the fence
he set the gun over the fence at the
same time making 4 motion to get
over himself, when tile gun was dis
charged, and such was the verdict of
the coroner's jury.
He was president OF the DeKalb
cotton mill, of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank and other large corpora
lions, and was probably the leading
citizen Of the town. He was dele
gate. to the National Democratic con-
vention which nominated Cleveland
in 1884.
SUICIDE OF THE CASHIER.
The second tragedy was the suicide
of Mr.. q. @. Zemp, the cashier Of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, of
which Col. Boykin was President.
Mr.. Zemp shot himself few hours
after the death by accident Of Col.
Boykin as above stated.
Shortly after receiving the news
Of the death Of Colonel Boykin, Mr..
Zcmp left his home ostcnsibly to 90
over to Mr.. Baykin's nearby, but in
stead went to his barn and committed
suicide, shooting himself with pis-
tol through the mouth. Few men
were held in higher esteem in Cam.
den than Mr.. Zemp. A dispatch to
the News and Courier from Camden
says:
IF there is any shortage in the
banks accounts it is not known, but
a meeting of the directors will be
held in the morning and a thorough
Investigation will follow. In view Of
the death.of the president and cashier
the bank will necessarily be closed for
day or so, when 1t is thought its
business will be resumed as uSual.n
