CARLISLE FOUND GUILTY.
NEBERRY BANKER CONVICT
ED IN FEDEARL COURTS.
Aged Former Bank President De-
clared to Have Misused Money Of
Institution.

Greenville. Oct. 20.-After a nine
days trial, Milton Anderson Carlisle.
formerly president OF the Newberry
National bank, was this morning
found guilty In the United States
district court on five counts Of an in
dictment containing 1872 counts. al
leging misapplication of the funds
Of the bank. The verdict was not
guilty as to the remainder of the
indictment A motion for new
trial by the attorneys for the de-
Tense will be argued before Judge
Brawley Monday afternoon.
Three of the five counts upon
which Carlisle was convicted are
based on drafts drawn by the Cold
Point Granite company, which the
bank paid, but which were refused
by the parties they were drawn up
on. the bank. not being reimbursed.
Carlisle was president and treasurer
Of this company The other two
counts are based on misapplication
Of funds which were paid in by
farmer upon notes due the bank.
but which Carlisle was alleged to
have applied to his own use. The
total amount of money involved III
all these transactions is less than
$500.
Te bulk Of the Indictment upon
which he was found not guilty, was
based upon overdraft of his personal
account, and of the account of the
Cold Point Granite company to
considerable sum when ''he had no
reasonable ground to believe that
these funds would be repaid" as
both Carlisle and the company were
insolvent or hopelessly involved.
Carlisle Is 70 years Of age, and has
been president Of the National Bank
Of Newberry since 1899. The indict-
ment. however. covered only the
years Of 1907 and 1908.
The case was begun on October
10. the true bill having been render
ed by the grand jury at the session
OF this court a year ago.
Carlisle can be sentenced to five
years on each Of the counts on which
he was found guilty.

PRIMARY FOR AUDITOR.
Several Candidates for Office In
Primary - Executive Committee
Meeting on Tuesday.

Mr.. Horace Hardy has been ap-
pointed by Governor Ansel, upon the
recommendation Of the county legis-
lative delegation to fill the unexpired
term OF j. ID. Wilder. The recon-
mendation was made because of the
fact that Mr.. Hardy was familiar
with the duties of the office and,
with the understanding that he would
not be a candidate at the special
primary election which the delega-
tion had decided to ask the county
executive committee to call. The
executive committee was asked to
meet on Tuesday and order a spe-
cial primary for the election of
someone to fill the position.

LAWFUL AND UNLAWFUL CLUBS
Judge Prince ConstrueS the Law In
Respect to Clubs and Liquor.

The following extract from Judge
Princes charge to the jury in the
case of the State VS.. James Calk
(the test case against the Elks Club)
will be found interesting by all who
have given thought to the question of
the relation of social clubs to the
liquor law
In his charge Judge Prince COW
ered the whole question Of the liquor
law and the right of an individual to
have liquor for personal use, rather
fully, but only that part Of the
charge which relates directly to
clubs is of interest in this connection
Judge Prince construed the law
as follows:
Now. 1 charge you as to the
clubs, and / am glad of the oppor-
fectly competent to run a club ac-
cOrding to law, and to have whiskey
there, whatever you and / may
think of the immortality of the act;
whether you and l may approve
from a moral standpoint of the act.
But how is it possible? 1t is possi-
BILE when every man orders his own
liquors, gets it and keeps II in his
own locker; where he orders his
TO
and keeps it himself under his own
control. 1t is unlawful for q club to
order liquor and to sell it out to it's
members, even though it should sell
it without profit. 1t is unlawful for
II to sell beer there-or to sell the
members tickets and allow them to
cash them on beer or liquor. That
Is unlawful. The question of wheth-
er or not q profit Is made out Of it
does not enter into the transaction.
The question Is whether 1t Is sold,
whether sold by the entity or cor
poration through it's individual
members. If a corporation has got
1t and sells 1t to It's members, It Is a
violation Of law. and that Is all there

fell ont Of a wagon Friday morning
about 10 o'clock and, striking his

Knocked unconscious This hap
pened at the corner of Main and

ing to load his wagon from the store
house. He was at once carried to
the hospital where he was treated,
the physician pronouncing him Sc
riously but not fatally injured. How
he happened to fall is not known,
but 1t was thought that as he was
standing on the back OF the wagon
the horse started off, throwing him
out on his head. The horse went on
up the street but was caught before
IT did any damage. 1t is probable
that the negro will be out in a few
days.

Snubhed q Duke.

Manners mark the man, but the
typical Briton resents any advance
from a stranger with a cold stare.
Yet it is an Englishman who mar
rates an incident of railway travel.
On the way to London in a first class
compartment were two well dressed
men. Opposite them sat an elderly
gentleman, whose fur coat and silk
hat both looked shabby. The elder
ly man made a remark about the
weather. The others stared at him
with insolent silence. When the
train reached Waterloo there came
two tall funkeys in fur tippets and
corded hats to the door of our com
partment, and one of them said to
the shabby old gentleman, "Your
grace, the carriage is here" Where
upon the two snobs turned thirteen
different kinds of green and pink
and purple, and | went on my way
rejoicing. The cads had snubbed a

An Afghan Trick.

During a shooting match in the
presence of the governor of Kanda-
har the sirdar noticed to his aston
ishment that the heads of sparrows
were the fayorite butt of the marks
men, who but seldom missed their
aim, whereupon he declared that it
was far more difficult to hit an egg.
Sir Peter laughed at the SUPPOSE
ton, but the sirdar stood his
ground, and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on
a wall, and the soldiers fired at it;
but, strange to say, not one of them
hit the egg. The governor and his
suit kept their countenances and
excused the nonsuccess of the firing
party on the ground of the difficulty
of the thing. At last a ball hap
pened to hit the thread to which
the egg was fastened, and it fell to
the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cum
ming Afghan had used a blown egg,
and the featherweight she'll had
been moved aside each time by the
current of air iii front of the ball
and thus escaped being hit.
