PLANS FOR POSTOFFICE.
Postmaster Cochran Receives Specifi.
cations for New Building.

Anderson, Dec. 1S.-Postmaster
John R. Cochran, Jr., has received
advices from the postal department
at Washington to advertise for bids
for the construction of the new fed
eral building in Anderson. These
bids must be submitted to the super
vising architect at Washington be-
fore 8 p. m. on the 23rd day of Jan
uary. Anderson's new postoftice and
furnishings will cost $4,000, this
amount having been appropriated by
the last congress. The original ap-
preparation for this building has
been twice increased. The first ap-
preparation was for $4,000 and
when Anderson's worth and growth
was explained the appropriation was
increased to 100000. Another effort
was made and the appropriation was
increased to $4,000. The plans and
specifications received by Postmaster
Cochran provide for building to be
built of the best material and to cost
approximately s65,000. The remain
ing $4,000 will be used in furnish
ing. A nice lot adjoining the hand
some new Carnegie library on north
Main street has been bought by the
government for the building.

STEALS HORSE AND BUGGY.

ishes from Chester.

Chester, Dec. 18.-Peter Wilson, a
colored hackman, whose name
adorns divers and sundry pages OF
the police records, has pulled on a
nervy little trick, which eclipses any
of his previous exploits, nervy
though some Of these have been.
About a week ago Peter went to
the home of a colored minister, the
Rev. E. n. Newton, in East Chester,
and finding the reverend gentleman
out, proceeded to inform the latter s
wife that he knew Of a person who
was very anxious to purchase his
horse and buggy, and as the outht
was for sale, Wilson was allowed
to drive off for the purpose of ne
gotiating the deal. That was wee
or more ago, and Peter hasn't bee:
seen since-at least, by anyone
around here. He is said to have TAX
en- another horse along, one that was
under mortgage to one of the local
liverymen, his evident intention be-
ing to set up in the sale and livery
business. Some think that Peter
went to Asheville, as he is said to
have lady love in those parts, but
this is merely speculation.

MORE MONEY FOR CANAL.
Secretary of War Asks Congress 70
Make Appropriation.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-A request
for an urgent deficiency appropria-
tion of s5,45S,0O0 to carry on the
work of the isthmian canal at the
present rate during the balance OF
the fiscal year and for new proJects
was received by the House today
from the secretary of war. Last
year a deficiency appropriation OF
s11,99O,0O0 was made.
The principal share of the deslreo
appropriation is for the Atlantic d]-
vision, where are located the Gatun
locks and dam. For this division an
appropriation of s3,441,G00 is re-
quested.
Chairman Goethals of the com
mission explained that the current
appropriation was based on the mis-
taken idea that congress had made
appropriation for rock crushing
plant at Porto Bello, an erecting
plant for the Gatun locks and dam
and vessels to transport the crushed
rocks. For these purposes S2,500,O0O
is now asked.

ed s2,45S,000 is for labor and 81

Washington, Dec. 18.-Through
the excellent work of Representative
Finley, and the other members OF
the House committee on postoflces
and post roads, that committee, al
though sitting for not more than a
week, has already finished its big
appropriation bill for the present
year.
Mr.. Finley is very proud of this
showing, especially in view OF the
fact that the committee has had
some very perplexing matters to
handle. The yearly preparation OF
the postal bill is one of the biggest
things Of the kind that the mem
bers of Congress have to handle and
usually from two to three months
are taken to properly make it up,
because of the many items contained
in it. This year, however, everybody
got down to business and, as stated,
it is now complete and will be pre-
sented to the House for adoption
later on in the session.

Federal Indictment Against Banker

Charlotte, N. c., Dec. 18.-Lee H.
Battle, former cashier of the defunct
City National Bank of Greensboro,
was indicted in the United States
district court here this afternoon on
40 counts, alleging illegal practices.
The bill of indictment charges three
specific forms of malpractice in the
administration of the banks affalrs
the overdrawing of large sums on
his own account, a similar privilege
extended the Pomona Manufacturing
company and the making of false
returns to the comptroller of the
currency. The transactions alleged
rival in ruthlessness any ever aired
in this State. Battle, who was presl-
dent of the Pomona Manufacturing
company, as we'll as cashier OF the
bank, is alleged to have overdrawn
the company's account at one time
as much as s175,000, and his own
account to the extent of $4,000.
These overdrafts were covered 1t is
claimed, by falsified returns to the
comptroller. Battle has long been
one of Greensboro's most consplcu'
GUS citizens, being prominent IN
church and social circles, and his In
dictment has caused profound sen
Sation.
