A DARING FORGERY
NEGRO SCHOOL TEACHER ARREST
 FED IN GREENVILLE.
He Forged Checks ef Big Cotton Ware house and Had Them Cashed At Bank-Oaher Negroes
 Implicated.

Greenville, Nov. 2e--(special. LA Crenshaw County negro farmer and school teacher, P. c. Deming, yestsr. day attempted what was perhaps the most daring forgery in the history of Greenville.
 It is the rule of the banks here that all checks for cotton payments must he accompanied by the receipts and these are taken up by the warehouse men each evening.
 The negro presented three checks with the accompanying receipts at the First National Bank just before closing time. They were perfect in every de- tail and had it not been for the alert ness of the hank officials, the forgery must have been successful.
 Mr. Wiley Howard, interested in the warehouse, whose firm name was sign ed to the checks, came into the ing over the checks found something unfamiliar about them and upon in- quiry found them forgeries.
 Immediately. the sheriff was inform ed. and one of his deputies went after the negro, bringing him In at daylight this morning. He confessed and dls- closed that he and five other negroes had been at work on this for several months, having stolen receipt book and everything necessary. They are all we'll educated negroes and amongst the highest in their race in this sec tion. It is indeed fortunate that they were apprehended at the beginning of their villainy for had they not been 1t is more than probable that. they would have gotten away with good deal of money.
 As 1t is, nobody has lost anything, and the six negroes are In jail here.

ness in knowing which way the cat was going- to jump. But later Scott flew the track and became one of the workers in the camp of the "allies,' and, of course, that cooked his goose'' with the Roosevelt-Taft combination
 The administration never did like the slowness with which Thompson became an ardent advocate of the nomination of Judge Taft. That was the real req. son that his man Smith was turned down for postmaster at Anniston when Barker got the appointment and on the accommodation of Scott, too, That recognition of Scott over Thompson few times the referees up to that period had opposed each other. Scott was getting away on top when the tempta- tion came to him from the camp of the allies" and he made the fatal step which caused his undoing In Washington. But then he had a right to buck against Frank Hitchcock if he really thought he could do up that young novice in politics from Massa- chusetts." Scott got exasperated be- cause Hitchcock was raking in dele gates for Taft in the South. He thought he'd teach him thing or two but missed his calculation.
 A we'll known Southern Republican who enjoys the close friendship of Judge Tart, seems 10 be confident that a new deal is going to be made in most of the states of his election. He does not anticipate that President Taft will start in by making wholesale removals, from office but gradually the changes will be brought about until a more sub stantiaI and reliable set of men will be given the Federal positions as the vacancies occur. At any rate this Re- publican is strongly of the opinion that Judge Taft will do his utmost to get new and better material for the re- sponsible heads of the Republican party in the South in so far as he may have the power through his high position here. The matter is certainly one that the more respectable element among Southern Republicans will. be quite apt to look into carefully. for there is much talk around the capital city that something is going to drop next year, and 1t will not be surprising if Mir. Referee Thompson finds that The will have to take a back seat, though 1t does not necessarily mean that he will have to give up the collectorship be- fore his term expires.

Resisted Arrest at MeGehee's Switch,
 and Onieers Took No Chances.
 While resisting arrest after being caught in a gambling game near Me- Gehee's switch early Sunday morning, Foster Galloway a negro, was shot to death by deputy sheriffs, who had gone out after the gamblers.
 Deputies Pettus. Clements and Key holds went to the place. having re- ceived word that a game was in prog ress. and surprising q party of seven negroes. proceeded to take them In charge. Galloway made break for the door, was ordered to halt, and did so. bur turning. he thrust his hand in his pocket. and under the circumstances the officers were not taking chances. Several shots were fired, one penetrat- ing the gamblers head, killing him in- stantly. A search of his pockets re- vealed several sets of loaded dice. Among the negroes the man bore the reputation of being a bad character. and he has been arrested before.
 The other negroes, after the shoot ing, came very quietly with the depu- ties on into the city.

the nomination of Judge Taft at Chi cago last June, but 1t is well known that the Presidential candidate and his closest friends believe that if the Tennessee factions had not been at each others throats, Judge Taft would have boiled a larger vote in the state.
 Judge Taft has planned to spend some weeks in Georgia during the win ter. While in that part of the South' 1t is said. that he proposes to post him- self as to status of certain hepuoi- cans who have kept themselves to the front. He will also pick up pointers regarding conditions in Fiorida and AIabama.

After March 1, Kentucky Will have one Republican United States senator in the person of Ex-Governor William o. Bradley. There will also be three Republican members of the House from that state. These are all regarded as fairly decent sort of men by the powers that be at Washington. At any rate their petitions will entitie them to consideration ct the White House. Tn the states. however, from which no Republican senators or representatives come, Judge Taft will have to make many new deals.
 President Roosevelt started the referee business in the southern states which send no Republican congress men to Washington. It has been no secret. here for the past year that he got mighty sick of hls arrangement in Alabama. Even before Senator Pet~ tys died. MT. Roosevelt told him one day that he was seriously thinking of dispensing with the confidence and as- sistance of Referees Thompson and Scott in Alabama and General Pettus used to talk as if he confidently ex- pected an order to be issued along that line President Roosevelt was very fond of Senator Pettus and consulted him freqdehtly' when he, desired to get information outside of the Republican party on which he could rely for he could not always obtain that article fFom the men upon who he generally relied.
 Referee Thompson made a bad break in holding off so long before he hoped on the Taft band wagon. His tardiness greatly nettied President Roosevelt, for then Referee Scott came out in the early part of December of last year in favor of Taft. Indeed 1t was the very day President Roosevelt gave out his second positive statement that under no circumstances would he again accept a nomination for President Some of the Alabama Republicans always thought Scott got tip, but he and his friends claimed 1t was his natural cute

 As the days roll by the talk about what |Judge Taft will do in the South in the matter of consulting people upon whom he can rely becomes more in- keresting.
 The Presidents -elect has been spend- &ng so much time tn Virginia that he has obtained a pretty fair idea as to fhe standing of Republicans in that

IMMIGRATION FUND.

Washington. Nov, 2s-Congress will face a deficit in the immigration fund by reason of the extraordinary expen- ditures by the immigration commits sion. which has been carrying on It's work under an indefinite approprias ton. The money to defray the ex- penses of the commission has been drawn from the regular immigration fund.
 Last year the commission expended about S75.000. The drafts upon the immigration fund for this year, thus far. have been on the basis of an an- nual expenditure of about $300,000.
 It Is likely that a Congressional inquiry into the work of the com rnittee will be ordered.
