BANKER MUST FACE JURY.
MILTON A. CARLISLE, OF NEW
BERRY, UNDER INDICTMENT.
The Total Amount Involved is $3S,'
OO.OO.-CarliSle Retired From
Bank Nearly Year Ago.

Greenville, Oct. PA true bill
was returned this afternoon in the
United States court by the grand jury
against Milton A. Carlisle, charging
him with misappropriation of the
funds of the National Bank of New
berry, and false certifcation OF
checks.
Carlisle was president of the bank
until about the beginning of the pres
ent year when he retired. He was
also president and treasurer of the
Cold Point Granite Company at New
berry. The present action in the fed
eral courts was presented during the
summer. The case will not be tried
at this term of the court, and bond
was fixed by Judge Brawley in the
sum Of $4,000.
The indictment contains 162
counts, charging misrepresentation OF
funds and false certifcation OF
checks, both in the interest of Car
isles personal account and of the &C
count of the Cold Point Granite Com
pany. The total amount of funds al
legged to have been misapplied to his
personal account is $4,000. The
total amount alleged to have been
misapplied to the account of the Cold
Point Granite Company is $4,000
The, case will be tried either in Co
lumbia in January or in Greenville in
April. It is not probable that it Will
be tried in Charleston.

HAMPTON CASE SETTLED.
Alleged Shortage Of Langford Paid
by Bonding Company.

1t is understood on good authority
that the bonding company has paid
$4,000 in the matter of the Lang
ford shortage in Hampton county.
County Treasurer Langford was
charged with shortage in his accounts
to the extent of approximately s24,-
900. He was under bond in the sum
of $4,000. 1t is stated that the
bonding company has agreed to pay
the $4,000 balance if the State will
establish in court that this amount
of the $4,000 shortage occurred dur
ing the previous term Of Office. The
shortage is said to have occurred in
the last term Of Langford, and the
contention Of the bonding company is
that it does not wish to pay the en-
tire $4,000 if that amount is found
short in one term of the Office, when
the bond was only $4,000, but will
pay the entire $4,000 if the shortage
occurred in more than one term.
Langford was bonded for three terms,
but each bond is liable for ten years.
Comptroller General Jones investi-
gated the matter and made report
Ou IL, Ahu4AS (LC Sho1 So6O W w oP
proximately $4,000. When the time
for settlement came the bonding COM
pany refused to pay up unless some
one representing the State should 60
over the books with a representative
of the company. Attorney General
Lyon named Mr.. w. H. Townsend
as the representative of the State.
The books were gone over and the
investigation Of Comptroller General
Jones was confirmed.
It is stated that the county OF
Hampton will take chances on get
ing the $4,000. It practically means
that the bonding company steps into
the place of the State in the case and
it is very probable that prosecution
will be instituted by the company
against J. G. Langford and bank
in Hampton county, the cashier of
the bank being charged with false
representations as to the amount OF
money deposited to the credit of the
county

Nobody Loves Me, and Want to Die

AS soon as Edward Simpson, 13
years old, is able to leave hospital
in Brooklyn he will be arraigned in
the children's court on a charge OF
attempting to commit suicide.

younger brother, the lad drank a
quantity of medicine which he knew

found him he said: Il want to die,
Nobody loves me; I'm always in the
way"
The mother carried him to the hos

doctors said he would recover, and
the police formally placed him under
