411-44 Quits Business

The 411-444 restauIant, for
many years conducted here by L
T. Wilson, has clossd their doo;s,
and whether it WI be O. en- d
again or not Mr.. Wilson is not
able to say at the present time.
PR. Wilson recently purchased al
interest in the Berlin theatre,
and for the present, at least wi l
devote all his time to make
this place the most popular pleas
ure resort in the city.
The building in which the res
taurant was located will be torn
down in the early spring, and
the building just south, owned
by Mrs. LOuisee Hiss will also be
replaced by a fine new store
building. Mr.. Wilson knowing
that he would soon have to seek
other quarters, temporarily at
least, felt that he had bettcr
close up at once and devote all
of his time to his theatre bust
ness. If proper arrangem: N S can
be made with the owners of one
of the new buildings when they
are completed. Mr.. Wilson con-
templates putting in a frs class
eating house and hotel on the
European plan. Frank has be l
identified with the restaurant
business in this place 50 long
that it will be a long time be-
fore his hosts of customers will
get out of the habit of wanting
to stop in "4-11-44's" place. He
has always conducted a first-class
place of business, and if h. can
make arrangements to start up
again, as he intends doing h. wi
doubtless make a great success
OF the enterprise.

A NEW AIRSiIIP RECORD.
Orville Wright Stays In Air One Hour
and Twenty Minutes.

Establishing a new record for ayi.
alton in America. Orville Wright in
the Wright aeroplane late last We'd
nesday afternoon at Fort Meyer
Washington. d. c., made spectacu-
lar flight Of one hour. twenty min
utes and As seconds duration His
longest previous flight was n min
utes, made by Wright at Fort Meyer
last fall.
During the entire flight the ma
chine was under perfect control, bus
several times appeared to the specta
tors to be on the point OF diving for
ward.
The machine travelled distance of
about 70 miles, 1T was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and al one time dur
ing the flight the height attained
between 260 and 2S0 feet, exceeded
the highest point ever attained by a
heavier-than-air machine on this con-
tinent. The most wonderful part of
the flight was the execution of three
complete figure eights," which re-
Quired careful manoeuvering in di-
recting.
To the amaZement OF the crowd
the machine described second eight,
and then third one, after which it
was guided back to its former course
Of large ovals.
h,> dot
a longer flight than heretofore at
tempted, the Wrights ordered the
aeroplane taken from its shed to the
starting apparatus shortly after 3
o'clock. Three members of Presi-
dent TaftS cabinet-SeCretary Of the
Navy Meyer, Attorney General Wick
ersham and Postmaster General
Hitchcock-were ON hand early to
witness the expected flight.
In the flight Mr.. Wright met every
requirement set forth by the govern
ment except that of carrying one
passenger and making the five mile
straightaway run.
Wilbur Wright, replying to a COM
mcnt, that the flight would have
covered the width of the English
channel, which Hubert Latham un-
successfully attempted to cross, said
it would have been possible for his
brother to have crossed from Franc
to England and to have returned to
France again without landing. He
also remarked that 1t would have
been easy to have continued to-day's
flight as far as Baltimore.

REGARDING CENSUS STATISTICS
Watson Has Satisfactory Conference
with Washington Authorities.
(The State, July 22.)

AS a result of Commissioner Wat
sons visit to Washington and a con-
ference with the chief of the bureau
Of statistics it is very probable that
the census figures for South Carolina
for the year 1910 will be published
at least one year earlier than usual.
1t is also very likely that this State
will be the first State to announce
the result of the census. BY an
agreement reached between Col. Wat
son and the census bureau 1t will be
necessary for the manufacturers of
the State to fill out only one sched-
ule, thus relieving them of much
work. The Federal and State gov
ernment will cooperate with each
other in the matter of taking the
census in this State.
The method of gathering agricul-
tural statistics will be improved. An
expert from the bureau of animal in
dustry is now available for this State
whenever needed.

to the success of that demonstration.

potatoes and peas will produce most
other profitable crops and Mr.. Gami-

crops growing we'll. The artesian

NEW QUESTION IN BRISTOL.
Talk of Ousting the Church Members
Who Voted "Wet" Ticket.

Bristol, Va, July 26.-The Ques-

may champion the cause Of the sa-
looms and oppose prohibition is be-
ing discussed in Bristol, following
the recent local option election. The
opinion Of the majority of the minis

one of the church's worst enemies,
and that a person cannot consistently
be in favor of both.
AS a result of the agitation prom
inent member of a large church in

an active part in the recent election.
has resigned and left the church.
A prominent Bristol minister and
pastor of one Of the largest churches,
declares that he is in favor Of ask
ing every church member who voted
or worked for the return of the sa-
looms to leave tho church. The tho
ory is that the church is unalterably
against the open saloon, and that a
man can't be for both
The ministers are engaged in dis
cussing the question, and the general
opinion here among the leading
church men is that those who voted
or worked for the vets should be
ousted if they do not repent.

BANK EXAMINATION FINISHED
Amount g! i'ollcman Shortage BE.
tween $4,000 and $4,000.

| meeting Of the board OF directors OF
| tomorrow morning to officially learn
the result Of the examination of the
bank by State Bank Examiner Wilson
| and his assistant, Mr. Rhame. The
examination was completed late this
afternoon after three days hard
work.
The report will go before the meet
ing through President Mauldin and
will be in effect that approximately
| $4,000 is aissing, but this amount
will probably be reduced to $4,000,
as there were several items in the
cash box that can probably be real
lied on. The examiners say that they
have found everything exactly as rep
| resented by Mr.. Holleman, the miss
| ing cashier, in his letter OF confess
| sion. The entries are correct and
! the records are clear and correct in
every way.
| 1t is understood that a successor
to the defaulting cashier will be elect
ed tomorrow and that some line Of
action to apprehend Holleman will
be adopted.
The Bank of Anderson is a men,
ber Of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, which will spare no expense
or effort to bring him to justice. 1t
is supposed that the association will
be officially notified of the defalca-
ton tomorrow. In the meantime
Holleman's whereabouts remains un-
known here.
! Another Sensation ?
SAnderson Intelligencer)
1t is rumored, and on good
| grounds, that there are two we'll
known Anderson men, one a cotton
man and the other a manufacturer,
who are implicated in the defalca-
ton. Rumor says that one of them
accepted large sums of money for
! speculation purposes and intsead of
speculating with it, stuck it in his
jeans; that finally Mr.. Holleman got
wise and jumped him about it; that
the second man told him if he did
not keep quiet that he would squeal
on him to the bank officials. This
! young man, who is considered rather
sneaky in all his dealings with his
fellow man, was questioned very
closely by the bank officials after the
discovery of the shortage, but would
! not talk, only saying that as Mr.. Hol-
leman was not here he was unwil-
ing to give out any statement. AL
though everybody agrees that Mr..
lolleman did wrong, yet many be
! levc that this young rascal was at
the bottom of the whole thing and
that Holleman was led deeper into
the mirc on account Of being afraid
that this young rascal would squeal
on lin. If the whole truth were
known, there would appear on the
surface Of the story a whole lot of
blackmailng.
1t is very likely and highly prob
able that one or two arrests will take
place within the next day or two in
connection with the lIollcman case.
