Il and reporters wandered often
to Ariel as she sat in the packed court
room watching Louden's fight for the
life and liberty Of Happy Fear. She
had always three escorts, and, though
she did not miss session and the

no whisper of scandal arose But not

ART OF TELEPHoNING.
How to Speak Into the Transmitter to
Get Good Results.

How to Speak Into the Transmitter to
Get Good Results.
The art of telephoning is still an ac-
ecmplishment that few people regard
as necessary part of their education,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. The way to
use the transmitter is to place the
lips within half an inch of the mouth
piece and speak in considerably low
er tone than you ordinarily use in face
10 face conversation.
The reason for this is simple. Just
behind the mouthpiece is an alumini-
um diaphragm, backed with very
thin sheet of hard carbon Between
this sheet of carbon and the point of
contact of the wires is a space filed
with finely powdered carbon.
The sound waves OF the voice make
the aluminium diaphragm vibrate. and
this in turn affects the carbon sheet
which stirs the granulated carbon be-
hind it.
The electrical current that is passing
through the carbon powder feels all
these vibrations. however slight. and
reproduces them in the receiver and
the other end Of the line. setting In
motion sound waves corresponding to
those In the transmitter

very close to his ear.
If you hear telephone man talking
by wire, you will notice that he draws
his words little-not enough to make
conversation noticeably slow, but sur
ficiently so that one word is started on
its way before another can tread on its
heels.
Clipping words. which Is sometimes
done under the impression that It gives
them a sharper sound. is a mistake
Even for talking over considerable dis

THE LATEsT IN HIGH FINANCE.
Batesburg Bank Said to Have Been
Victimr-Co Columbia Banks Also.
(The state, Nov. 23.)

A case of high finance" involving
at least two Columbia banks and one
correspondent bank out in the State
came to light yesterday. Fortunate-
ly the amounts are not very large
at least not large enough to embar-
rass any of the institutions involved.
AS a result of Investigations into the
facts, 1t Is likely that s. l.. Richard
son, OF Seneca, will be arrested for
forgery.
At any rate he is charged with that
offense, and it is known that the off,
GERS of the law have been on his
trail. He was here Friday, but about
the time that his business methods
began to be Investigated he left the
city and had not been located up to
last night. "a
1t appears that Richardson, who
has had extensive business interests
in the upper part Of the State, went
to Batesburg a short time ago and
declared that he was contemplating
starting plant there. He Is in the
lumber business. He presented the
very best of references and was re-
ceived as a good customer.
Among other deposits he made at
the bank were some notes to secure
chattel mortgage upon which he
received a loan. 1t appears that the
bank officials for some reason or
other began to grow suspicious and
Friday started an investigation. The
signers of the alleged notes, some of
them in other cities, were telephoned
to. No, they had never given Rich
ardson the notes. The bank then got
busy and tried to stop payment of
checks given by the bank to Richard
son when he had stated that he wish
ed to establish an account in Colum-
bia.
1t Is understood that one Of the
banks in Columbia held quite lot
Of this same paper, but The State
was unable to find the cashier last
night to learn to what extend Rich
ardson had dealt. with that bank.
However. the uneasy manner in
which bank officials have been in
quiring at a certain hotel in this
city for Richardson gave rise to sus-
picions.
The story leaked out yesterday
from a different source and the facts
were put together after making in
quiry at various places. Capt. w.
M. Carter, of Batssburg, was in the
city last night and declined to talk
on the matter, but admitted that the
bank of which he Is cashier had been
the one involved in the transaction
and that he was over here on that
business. He admitted further that
the parties whose names were sign
ed on the notes had declared they
had never given the notes, and that
such statements had led his bank to
institute proceedings. His bank, he
says, Is amply secured on the trans
action, but wishes to see the matter
cleared up. The whole amount in
volved will be several hundreds OF
dollars.
