SERIOUS CHARGE
Against Mt. Pleasant Youths Who
Went To Nashville With Girl.

Robert WitherspOOn and w. I. Nc
Donald, who were detained by the po-
lice authorities on Saturday night on
instructions from John Terrell, of Mt.
Pleasant, were turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Harris, of that place, Sunday
morning. They were carried back to
Mt. Pleasant on a State warrant sworn
out by Terrell, charging the boys with
abduction for the purpose of prosti-
tuition.
According to the story told by the
three, they came down from Mt. Pleas
ant on Saturday morning, intending to
go to Chattanooga, but were left, and
spent the day here. During the after
noon they engaged room for the girl
on Fourth Avenue, North, where she
stayed while they went back up town.
Some time later they came for the
girl, to go to Glendale park, but in the
meantime the landlady at the house
had questioned the girl, who claimed
to be only IA years old, and became
a little suspicious of the case. and
when the boys came back for her she
refused to allow them to carry her
away, and sending for policeman,
had them carried to the police station.
Communication was had with the
girls father, with the result that he
ordered the party held until he reach
ed the city on Sunday morning.
Both of the boys and the girl stout
ly deny any charge of wrong-doing.
The girl states that she obtained the
permission of her parents. and that
everything will be satisfactorily ex-
planned. The boys say that they are
entirely innocent of the charge, and
that they can justify everything that
was done.-Nashville American.

PUSHING Mt.
PLEASANT.
Stock Show There August 3o-Poul-
try Association to be Organized.

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn, Aug. 90
At meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Com
mercial Club 1t was decided to hold
Colt and Stock Show here ON Aug.
80, and a representative committee
of seven was appointed to prepare for
the show. From the deep interest
manifested here in the breeding and
raising of fine stock a profitable show
is anticipated.
Next Friday night a meeting has
been called for the purpose of organic
ing Poultry and Pet Stock Associa-
ton, and over sixty representative
citizens have obligated themselves
to become members on this occasion.
OF recent quite number of people
living in and around Mt. Pleasant have
made a number OF successful exhibits
of fine poultry, carrying away very
large percentage of the prizes wher-
ever entries have been made, and as
natural consequence deep interest
is being taken in the poultry bust
ness.
A recent sale of 1000 tons Of rs,
51s. 3, phosphate rock at $40 was
made, which is an advance of over
$100 per ton for the past twelve
months. This suggests to the phos-
phate companies that the washing of
the thousands of acres of dumps of
overburden which is full of small
of rock will pay immense
ly and hence the feasibility Of putting
In at least two new washing plants
is being seriously considered, and In
all probability work will begin i'm
ON their erection.
A large deal in phosphate lands in
Giles County is on foot, and in all
will be closed within the
next few days.

LETTER FROM
WEST TENNESSEE

My friends tell me that they enjoy
my letters to the Herald; therefore
will send a communication from West
Tennessee. I reached Obion Station
last Saturday about o'clock and met
T. H. Mills, who conveyed me to his
nice, good home. T. H. Mills lived
and taught school about Old Lasea
for many years. He is a man of I'M
furnished character. and is a benefit
to any community In which he lives.
l am now at Glass, standing behind
the cross, and holding up Jesus and
His love to this good people. have
met numbers of people here from Mid
die Tennessee Woodys, Nichols. Sat
terfields, Grahams and others. This
people certainly have a country of
which they can justly be proud. 1t
will compare favorably with the coun-
try between Columbia and Mt. Pleas
ant. There are no rocks in this coun-
try, and the farms are level and rich
and well improved. The people live
in nice homes and set a most invit-
ing table. While II Is not my pur-
pose or motive to make things larger
or magnify them more on paper than
in reality, but the good. honest farm
ers of this country tell me they will
average twelve barrels of corn per
acre, and / don't doubt it. AS there
are no rocks here a steel tire buggy
rides as pleasant and with as little
noise as rubber tire In Middle Ten
nessee.

pie here say. they are mighty good
men.

draining the lands, there etaointaoi

there seems to be much less chills
and fever in this country. But / have
never been in any country or climate

GORDONTRIESFRADD'
Nominee in Tenth Not Satisfied With
Victory.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 16.-Gen.
Geo. w. Gordon, declared the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress from the
Tenth District by the Congressional
Committee Thursday morning, his
majority over John w. Apperson
amounting to 1917, insisted on con-
testing the election in the First and
Fifth Wards and the committee an
nounced that it would begin the in
vestigation at once. Officers of cleo
ton in the two wards whose returns
were questioned were present aad
their examination was begun without
delay.
John W. Apperson announced that
for the present at least he would not
contest the election in Hardeman and
Fayette counties, where, he alleges,
the ,majorities rolled up for Gen. Cor
don were so heavy as to suggest fraud.
Mr.. Apperson reserves the right with
in the required ninety days to inves-
tigate the charges against those dis
tricts. AS accepted by the committee
the official vote on the face of the
returns was Gordon, 5,145; Apperson,

BANK is ROBBED;
TELLER MISSING
PADucAH, KY, INSTITUTION is
THE vICTlM-SHoRTAGE is
NOT VERY BIG.

PADUCAH, KY, Aug. 19.-Rumors OF
irregularities, coupled with the unac
cOuntable absence of Phil J. Abbott
Teller of the Acknowledgement Bank
of this city, caused an investigation
of the banks affairs by the local OFF,
GERS, with the result that a shortage
in the reserve of $1,000 was found.
The Fidelity G Deposit Company. of
Baltimore, which was on the bond of
Abbott, paid the shortage, and an
agent of the company is searching for
the Teller.
Abbott has been absent since Aug
ust 1, and his wife says she does not
know where he is. Two weeks ago lie
secured a leave of absence for three
days to visit his brother at Robinson,
ILL.,, on a matter of business. He told
his young wife that he was going to
see his brother, and the information
of the shortage was first broken to
her by President Thompson, of the
American-German Bank. Abbott's
father lives at Robinson and his broth
er is banker.
This morning G. C. Thompson, Pres
ident of the American German Ma
tional Bank, made the following state
ment:
"The shortage is $1,000 and the FL
deity & Deposit Company has made
good every claim. Although we have
known of the shortage for several
days, we have kept the matter quiet
at the request of the agent of the bond
ing company. The money was taken
out of the reserve and not out of the
days business. This prevented our
discovery OF the loss al once, as there
were no discrepancies in the books.
The cash just disappeared, and it ma
turally would not come to our knowl- |
edge until we should have occasion
to make thorough investigation. The
bank examiner was here thirty days
ago, and everything was all right then. |
"Mr. Abbott secured leave of abb
sence for few days to visit his broth J
er at Robinson. Ill. A few days pass
ed, and we heard nothing from him.
A week ago we instituted an investi-
cation, and ascertained that the mon
ey was missing
