Farmers, in Prison.

A special sent from Camden. S. c., to
the Columbia State of Sunday gives
an account of the arrest of two men
in that town on the charge OF having
forged a cotton check Of Alex. Sprunt
& Son, it being signed apparently by
the local buyer in Camden Of the
Sprunt firm. The Sprunt Offices in this
city were yesterday notified Of the
arrest of the men, by Mr.. w. Halle, the
Camden buyer
The special to the State says that
Messrs. J. H. Hyatt and Wesley Orig
gers, neighbors and farmers from the
eastern section of this county, are in
Jail charged with having forged and
presented for payment check for $500
Clerk w. E. Johnson, Jr., was on duty
at the paying tellers window of the
Bank of Camden just before the clos
ing hour this afternoon when Driggers
presented the bogus check.
1t was a cotton check of Alexander
Sprunt & Son and was signed appar-
emily by Mr. w. H. Halle, the local
buyer for the firm. The check was as
usual made payable to certain num-
Der. and the fact that the number
was within the hundreds first attracted
Mr.. Johnson'S attention. The numbers
on these cotton checks are now up In
the thousands Upon further investi
cation a little bad spelling was noted
Two was written too" and then Mr.,
Johnson saw that the signature and
the whole business was forged. Mr..
Driggers was invited into Cashier
Yates Office, where he reluctantly stat
ed that the check was given to him by
Hyatt with a promise of a division.
Hyatt was soon found and both men
were turned over to the police. Both
deny the crime, claiming that they
found the check. Mr. Halle states thai
Hyatt sold him bale of cotton on Sep
tember 10, and that the number Of the
bogus check shows that his father,
Mr.. Jas. L. Halle, i'm tearing out the
check for Hyatt tore out blank check
underneath along with the other aud
Hyatt thus got hold of it. Hyatt is
about So years of age and Driggers is
perhaps three score. Both are well

MI Gerard Morgan Altatfer, one OF

citizens OF Wilmington passed away at
his home in this city, No. los North
Seventh street at 4 As Sunday morning
and the news OF his death brought
sincere sorrow to large number OF
friends. While Mr.. Altaffer has been

his condition was not considered

and stomach trouble combined, from

sinking rapidly until the end came at
the hour noted.
The deceased was born in Rocking
ham county, Virginia, on June 9, 1893,
and therefore was in his 18th year.
Early in life he came to this city which
he has made his home ever since.
Many years ago he married Miss Mary

ceded him to the grave nearly seven

Urged the Importance of Education
Wants Best Men Sent as Delegates
to National Congress.
Manila, October 21-Secretary Taft
was cheered for five minutes today
when introduced at banquet with the
statement that there is no man to
whom the Philippines owe more than
to the president of the United States
the native islanders being particularly
demonstrative.
A silver loving cup of native make
was presented to the secretary who in
expressing his thanks, said he was
gratifed when he heard President Os-
mena say the United States had kept
every promise made to the Philippines
in order to overcome the tendency
blindly to follow one man. 1t was
necessary to give all an equal opportu-
nifty that the son Of the humblest per-
son might aspire to the highest posi-
ton in the state. He was confident that
the assembly would unite with him to
procure better conditions. He said it
was important to choose the best men
as delegates to the national congress.
He hoped 70 the adoption of tariff
as low as possible and allow exports
of sugar and tobacco to the United
States. This would do good and would
prevent the formation of another Cuba
where the absorption of energy in the
production of the commodity meant
the control of the masses by the few
and was not in the interest of the gov
ernment.
Secretary Taft said he was satisfied
with the condition of the Philippines
and warned those who might attempt
a cleavage of two peoples now coming
together.
In conclusion the secretary toasted
the prosperity and long life or the
islands.

New York, October 21.-The re
cent tension of the banking commun.
ity was today considerably relieved
and the day passed with no adverse
| developments of serious character
| but with much that was reassur.
| ing
| At the same time there was evi-
dence that some of the banks most
affected by recent events were still
| in the need of assistance, but the
promptness with which the clearing
| house accorded 1t did much to allay
| further alarm. The general improve
ment was reflected in the bouyancy
of the stock market, and the steady
advance in prices from previous low
levels
The clearing house was called upon
to meet debit balances of the Mer-
camille and New Amsterdam banks
to the extent of upwards of two mil
lion dollars which the Mercantile
owed about $1,9OO,O00 and the New
Amsterdam 100000.
The debit balance of the National
Bank CO North America amounted to
$350,00e.
While there was said to have been
some discussion between the clear
ing house committee and the officers
of the latter bank as to the necessity
of giving it any support, it was not
necessary to do so.
The fact that the clearing house
committee regards the situation AS
still serious was shown by a remark
of a member of the committee that
the Mercantile banks debit balance
was "nneZpecte lily large and iisoon-
certing"
The committee remained in Ses-
sion the greater part of the day, dis
cussing a general plan Of policy with
regard to assisting such banks as
might need help.
After the committee adjourned for
the day, James T. Woodward, pres
ident of the Hanover National Bank.
and chairman Of the clearing house
committee, said that the conditions
were improving and that the commit
tee feel equal to meeting any emer-
gency that might arise tomorrow.
On the stock exchange the improv-
ed banking conditions resulted in a
rally of pronounced proportions, the
more active issues advancing two and
three points, with greater gains in
some of the specialties.
Part of this advantage was lost
later by a furry in call loans, the
rate for which advanced to 9A per
cent.
On the curb the feature was the
heavy selling at severe declines of
Consolidated steamship bonds, which
at one time sold at 125 IS decline of
3 "a points for the high. The net
loss for the day was two points. The
Consolidated Steamship Company is
controlled by Charles w. Morse.
One development today which did
not tend to ease the prevailing con-
ditions was the application for a re-
ceiver of the firm Of Otto HeinZe and
Company.
Argument on the motion was de-
ferred until Wednesday.

MIR. FOX IN ASHEVILLE
Called Business Mems Attention to
Advantages of Deep Water at VIII
mingtOn-In Charlotte Last Night
and Salisbury Today.

sHu SALISBURY 1Ouay.
Hon. John A. Fox, special director OF
the National Rivers ad Harbors Con-
gress, who is making tour through
North Carolina in the benefit OF the
30-foot channel between Wilmington
and the sea, appeared in Asheville at
an opportune time Oh Friday night,
there being a big mass meeting in
progress there when speeches were
made on the proposition to vote bonds
to aid in the construction Of railroad
through several western counties. Mr..
Fox was given the opportunity of ad-
dressing the meeting and putting for
| ward WilmingtOns claims. The gath
ering was a largely attended one OF
| business men of Asheville, being pres
ided over by Judge ]. c. Pritchard.
and it is certain that Mr.. Fox's ar
gunent made fine impression.
Mr.. Fox went to Charlotte YESTERDAY
and he addressed a meeting there
last night Tonight he will be in
Salisbury
The Asheville GaZette-News, con-
corning Mr.. Fox's address said:
John A Fox, special director Ma
tiOnal Rivers and Harbors congress,
was next introduced by Judge Pritch-
ard. In introducing Mr.. Fox. Judge
Pritchard made announcement of an
other meeting which would be held at
the county court house next Monday
evening when Dr. Willis, secretary OF
q he Snf
would be present and address the peo-
pie on the important matter of the
Appalachian forest preserve. Judge
Pritchard declared that the work of
rivers and harbors in which Mr.. Fox
was engaged went hand in hand with
the preservation of the forests and
that he was glad that the people of
the city was given an opportunity to
hear these matters discussed.
"Mr. Fox, who is in North Carolina
at the invitation of the Wilmington
chamber of commerce in the interest
of deep water at Wilmington, and who
is seeking to interest all Of North
Carolina in deepening the harbor at
Wilmington, is most pleasing speak
er. He is fluent and at times eloquent
He has facts and figures always at his
command and never hesitates for
moment in reeling off figures from
mills to millions. Mr. Fox gave figures
showing the cost per ton per mile for
hauling freight in different sections or
the country, the Southern being as
high as any in the country. Mr.. Fox
said that the interests of the entire
tate were interviewer with the interest
of Wilmington in having a 30-foot har
Dor; that what benefited Wilmington
was bound to benefit other portions
of the state. He referred to the build
ing of the Panama canal and said that
it was most essential that North Caro-
ina have a deep-water harbor. Mr.. Fox
said that deep water at Wilmington
and a new competing line of railways
through this section the benefits TO
not only this section but all North
arolina would be countless. He called
attention to a meeting to be held n;
Wilmington ON November ), when the
state waterways commission is to be
organized, and urged that Asheville
send one or two representatives
