tanned. The coins are passed into cir
culation at their face value. Coins
also have been stripped, it is SIS
pected, by using them for short inter
walls in electroplating tanks.
Many coins that have been offered
for deposit at banks recently have the
designs brought out more sharply than
is natural. 1t is supposed that these
coins have been stripped and were
left in the acid bath too long. But
even in these coins the unframed eye
would see no sign of mutilation. One
of the largest electroplaters said that
strippers could take as much as a
pennyweight of gold, worth more than
a dollar, from a 500 gold piece with
out making any easily perceptible
change. There is no risk of loss in
damaging gold coins. because if the
acid should eat too much or roughen
the surface the entire coin may be
melted up and the metal sold for an
amount equal to the value of the
coin.
A special difficulty in getting evil
dence against the stripper is that
even If he be caught with the coins
in solution nothing is proved, as he
can say that he intends to use the
coins, instead of bullion, for plating,
and will not try to pass them as
money. There is no law against dis.
solving or melting coins, provided they
are destroyed as currency, and many
jewelers. fuse gold coins instead of go
10 -
for the purpose. None of the estab-
lished electroplaters is suspected OF
being engaged in the illegitimate prac.
tice. 1t is supposed that temporary
plants are put up by strippers in Sc
cluded lofts of factory buildings, as
little equipment Is required.
The fad for Lincoln pennies in Jew
elry receDed attention because a
gold plated penny might be mistaken
for five-dollar gold piece. 1t was re-
called that when the five-cent nickels
were first used they did not have the
word cent on them. Many such
coins were plated with gold and
passed on ignorant immigrants as
five-dollar gold pieces.
The secret service men who in
ouired here as to the. use Of the
gold plated pennies made no objection
to such plating. jewelers. have made
inquiries of the authorities here anc
| in Washington. and have been in
| formed that the law as to mutilatior
of coins applies only to gold and sill
yer coins. Besides. pennies are made
more valuable by gold plating
In certain western cities, it is re
ported, the federal authorities have
prohibited manufacturers of sewelr,
from plating Lincoln pennies witt

increased demand on the manufactur
ers here who make the pennies int

they decline to make any definite state

understood, however, that there are to
be no great changes.

The Case of D E M0tIey.

ConceShing the case of D :
Motley THE local correspondent OF
!. the News s. Courier had'the follow
ing to say
D E Motley was bookkeeper and
assistant cashier in the Bank of
Lake City up to the day he disap-
peared some time in 1909. After
an examination it was found that he
was short in his accounts something
over $4,000. He was arrested about
year afterwards on farm in New
Jersey and brought back here last
winter for trial. Motley is a very
bright man, only about 23 years of
age, and was a great favorte in
bake City. Much sympathy was
expressed for his father, who at.
tended the trial, and also for the
youthful transgressor, who showed
his penitence by openly confessing
his guilt. DR. Williams, president
of the bank, joined in request to
the court to make the sentence only
eighteen months in the county Jail.
Friends of Motley are confident
that he will yet live down this dark
hour and become the useful citizen
he is so we'll qualified by nature to
be.

DR. Williams Announces Another Much
LarqeP Contest for Present Year.

Larger Contest for Present Year.
Lake City, February 15:-Dr
A H Williams announces another
and much larger corn contest
for the year 1910.
Instead Of a limited number
of large prizes, many OF moder-
ate value will be offered, which
in the aggreSte will amount to
several hundred dollars, and
which, under the arrangements
proposed as to numerous dis
tribution, is expected to prove
a genera. and hearty incentive
to. determined and intelligent
effort to excel. The three
small prizes OF last year had
something to do with producing
the great crop just harvested;
and the contest now being in
'augurated, it is hoped will be
entered into by great many
farmers throughout the entire
county, and results most crafty
ing and helpful are expected.
AS the first prize for the
greatest yield on one acre DR.
Williams himself offers a top
buggy worth $500. Several
other prizes of various kinds,
such as improved farming
Implements, fertilizers, wagons,
plows, suits of clothes, etc, will
be offered for competition. DR.
Williams has, already secured
about $4,000 worth of prizes
besides the'buggy, and he hopes
to run the list near, if not quite
to the 100000 mark. :
Each farmer entering the, con-
test is requested to send in one
dollar as an entrance fee.
Every dollar collected from
entrance fees will be invested
in suitable prizes to be offered.
Already several farmers have
come in and paid the entrance
fee, *and the idea is. taking
hold rapidly. If five hundred
farmers enter the contest, DR.
Williams will cable to offer
in prizes about one thousand
dollars. Raise five hundred
dollars by entrance fees, and
he: will raise the other five
;hnndred dollars himself.
Time for entering contest
closes ay 1st. Immediately
thereafter list of prizes will be
made up and published.
The contest is open to every
farmer in Williamsburg county.
There are no condition, as, to
preparation OF soil, fertilizers
used or cultivation, each far ner
proceed as he thinks best. The
only requirements is that the corn
must be gathered by two dis
interested persons who will GER
tify to the same, and that such
certificate must be sent in not
later than November Is. I'm
mediately thereafter prizes will
be awarded.
