by men who have visited the banking
centers of the country. that there Is
no bank outside of New York and Chi
cago with more ample quarters, and
few that can compare In elegance or
fittings and completeness OF detail.
The high-ceilinged banking cham
Der is finished In white and gold,
which accords well with the counters
OF greenish marble, and the furniture
OF mahogany. The cages and part-
tons are OF brass, and the plan OF the
bank Is so arranged that the central
portion OF the chamber Is open to the
public, the employees being at work
in Offices along three sides OF the main
room.
There are 81 persons employed In
the bank Offices, and the institution
has $4,000 square feet OF floor space
Not only are the Offices most COM
plete In every detail, but there Is a
private dining room In the basement
for the convenience OF the clerical
force.
At the head Of the new financial
institution Is Norris l.. Williams, for
merly head OF the Commercial Nation
al bank, and the Nestor of the local
banking fraternity. The presidency
Of this strong institution notably
rounds out splendid career az lead
or in the banking business OF this
portion OF the country.
John T. Shaw, formerly president Of
the First National bank, is vice-presi-
dent OF the consolidated institution.
Sanborn Tenny McGraw, who was In
charge OF the architectural superin'
tendence OF the new quarters, Is also
a vice president.
All day the bank will be open to
public inspection and a special recep-
ton will be given In the evening. 10
which bank clerks and others who
cannot get away from their Offices
during the day are invited especially.
For this occasion, the banking
chambers have been tastefully decor
ated with palms and huge baskets of
flowers

J. ?. ADLER, Y|DO|SH
ACTOR, UNDER
ARREST
MAKES CURTAIN SPEECH, CLAIM.
ING HE WAS ROBBED, AND
SUIT FOR ISLANDER RESULTS
RELEASED ON BAIL.

Jacob Z. Adler. the well-known
appeared In the Detroit Opera house
Sunday afternoon and evening was
arrested shortly before noon, Monday
on a capias issued on complaint OF
Sidney Frank, a saloon-keeper at No
394 Hastings-st.. as preliminary to a
suit for SANDER. Mr.. Adler was es-
corted TO the sheriff's Office by dep.
uty, and tripping behind him came
his whole company. among them sew
eral actresses, stylishly dressed and
decidedly pretty.
In his affidavit Frank alleges that at
the close OF the evening performance
Mr.. Adler stepped before the curtain.
and in the presence OF 1000 persons,
announced that his company had been
cheated out or large sum Of money
by man named Frank. Frank claims
that he was the man referred TO, and
that all he had to do with the per-
Torrance was TO sell tickets. He says
he accounted for all he disposed Of.
Mr.. Adler says that II has been his
custom to appear Ia cities throughout
the United States on 80 per cent
basis, and he supposed this was the
arrangement made here. Not until! the
close Of the evening performance did
he learn that he was not dealing with
Mr.. Whitney, proprietor OF the opera
house. but that the house had been
engaged by a local man. Mr.. Adler
claims that instead OF dividing UP the
proceeds. about $1,000. share and
share alike, this local man. whom he
does not know. deducted all expenses
about $500 and handed over one-half
OF the balance.
Adler admits making curtain
speech In which he claimed to be rob-
bed, but says he mentioned no names,
and does not know whom TO blame for
the trouble.
The advance arrangements for the
company's appearance were made by
Mr.. Adler's agent, now In New York
Friends OF the actor came to his
assistance. He gave bonds for his
appearance, and was released.

Farmers are pretty well up with
their work in this section. Fully, as
much cotton has been planted this
year as there was last year, although
most of our farmers realize that corn
in the crib means money in the pock-
ct and have planted accordingly.
Small grain will be short, especially
wheat.
Mr.. Joseph L. Amick is at home
after teaching a very successful
school. He is one of our brightest

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
On last Friday evening Miss Mat

the Fork, closed for the session, after
an uninterrupted period Of sever
months. The exercises commenced
at .. M, with one of the largest
crowds ever seen at the school house,
Lexington and Richland counties be.
ing we'll represented.
The recitations and dialogues were
of high and intelligent order, and
the training showed the touch of an
intelligent and patient mind to arrive
at what was as near perfection to the
ideas of one whose school days were
fifty years ago.
The weather was fine, the crowd
large and extra good humor prevailed
and, to crown it all, the ladies were
vivacious. / could mention some ex-
cellent actors, but for fear of partial
ity I refrain.
Miss Young is a native Of Laurens
county and a graduate of Mt. Amonia
Lutheran College of North Carolina,
and a musician of high character.
She is extremely popular here.
After the exercises by the school,
Rev. Kline made short address on
the advantages of an education.
