SMOOTH YOUNG MAN SWINDLES
THE FORT MILL SAVINGS BANK
Stranger Giving His Name as ]. Y.
Jones Passes Worthless Check on
Local Institution.

Two hundred and forty dollars
is the amount of fraudulent
check which was passed on the
Savings Bank of Fort Mill on
June 80 by young man giving
his name as j. Y. Jones and his
residence as Charleston. Jones
came to Fort Mill with the York
vile ball team on June 80 and
remained with the team during
the series of three games here.
He was young man of pleasing
address and wore good clothes,
so when he was introduced to
Cashier Meacham by Yorkville
young man with whom Mr..
Meacham was acquainted he was
extended the courtesy of opening
an account with the Savings
bank.
Jones presented check on an
Asheville bank payable to him
self and signed by It. c..
McCauley." Across the face of
the check was written the
words monthly allowance, "
indicating that the drawer was
accustomed to extending financial
aid to Jones periodically. Jones
explained this phase of the
transaction by saying that
McCauley was a kinsman of his.
On the day the account was
opened Jones withdrew only a
few dollars of the deposit, but
on July l he withdrew a total of
500, leaving a balance of $40.
Before leaving Fort Mill in the
afternoon of July l he asked Mr..
Meacham to give him a cashier S
check for the balance. The re-
quest was granted.
The check on the Asheville
bank deposited by Jones was for
warded for collection in due
time, but was returned a day or
two ago as worthless. As the
result of a similar swindling
transaction Jones is now in
the York county Jail. He was ar
rested in Charleston Sunday for
passing a worthless check for
SIP on the Bank of Glover last
Tuesday and was taken to York
vile Monday by Deputy Sheriff
F. +. Quinn.
Mr.. Meacham went to York
vile Tuesday to arrange for the
prosecution of Jones for bilkine
the Fort Mill bank.

Record of Worlds Champion Cow.

Upon his return to Fort Mill
some weeks ago from Cornell
university F. Murray Mack
stated to The Times that during
an inspection of a number of
famous dairy herds in the
Syracuse district of New York
he had seen several prize mixers
which produced about 13 gallons
per day. The statement may
have seemed exaggerated to those
who do not know Mr.. Mack and
whose knowledge of COWS is
limited to the mixers of this
section. Here, as in most sec
tions of the South, the cow
which produces as much as six
gallons of milk per day is con-
sidered one of the community's S
wonders. Not so in the milk
district" of New York State.
where cows of ten-gallon record
are seen in every herd.
In Chenango county, New
York. Mr.. Mack saw the best
cow the world has ever known.
The name of this queen of COWS
is Dekol Queen La Polka %, and
she is owned by Clayton Sisson.
of Sherburne, n. Y. The COW
is of the Holstein-Freisian breed
and was purchased by Mr..
Slsson from a neighbor for $175.
The record made by this cow is
as follows:
Butter record, seven days, was
80. 81 pounds.
Butter record, 80 days, was
145. 10 pounds.
Milk record, one day, was
15 1-2 gallons.
Milk record, eight days, was
841.8 pounds, or an average of
13 gallons per day.
Milk record, 30 days, was
3, 1868 pounds, or 1,650 quarts,
making an average of 13 1-2 gal
ions per day.
Just reflect for a moment
what this means more than a
ton and half of milk from one
COW in 80 days. There is only
one cow in the wide world that
has ever beaten any of the above
records and that animal was
Grace Fayne DDS Homestead,
owned by H. A. Meyer, OF
Syracuse. She made 80. 81
pounds of butter in seven days.
MIR. Meyer was offered just
So, 600 for this cow right after
the test was made and in two
weeks from that day the anima
was dead.

Death of a Little Girl.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Crook, of
the Gold Hill section of Fort
Mill township, suffered an ire
parable loss Monday morning in
the death of their 12-year-old
daughter, Eleanor, who had been
i'll less than a week. The little
girl was stricken with brain
fever on Tuesday of last week
and her condition was regarded
as serious from the first evil
dence of the malady. The best
medical attention and the de-
voted care of the child's parents
failed to stay the ravages of the
malignant fever and the end
came at 10 O'Clock Monday morn
ing. The child was a member
of Philadelphia Methodist church
and the funeral service was
preached by her pastor, Rev. Mr..
White, Tuesday morning. The
.interment was at Flint Hill.

Interested in New Delegation.

OF the number of questions
which should be maturely con-
sidered by the voters of York
county in selecting the members
of the General Assembly who are
to be chosen in the election to be
held on August 80, none should
receive greater share of public
concern in determining the
personnel of the delegation than
the road question, according to
Senator w. H. Stewart.
During the sessions of the last
General Assembly, Mr.. Stewart
devoted much time and thought
to the law under which the
public roads of York county are
being built and repaired, with
the result that the county ad-
mittedly has one of the best
systems of highway improvement
among the many systems of the
State. But Mr.. Stewart realizes
that the road law for York
county is not what it should be;
there are imperfections which
should be remedied and which
can be remedied if the voters
select a delegation to the lower
house of the General Assembly
who will cooperate with him in
perfecting the law.
"Of course | am interested in
the election of the county S
delegation in the house of repre-
sentatives, " said Mr.. Stewart to
The Times Monday afternoon.
i should dislike very much to
see the time and labor | have
spent in trying to give York
county good road law practical
ly nullified by the refusal of the
delegation to cooperate with me
in the changes which may appear
necessary in promoting the
efficiency of the law. The road
question is of concern to every
body and the voters ought to
know what the attitude of the
candidate is on the subject before
election day."

GOV. FOLK BANKING ON BRYAN
AID TO LAND THE NOMINATION
Missourian's Friends are Active and
Think His Candidacy is Causing
Apprehension to Others.

From the trend of events in
the Democratic fold, it is evident
that former Governor Folk. of
Missouri, is relying on William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska. to
assist him in gaining the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
Silence and gum-Shoe work
was never used to better ad-
vantage than it is being used
now by the political adherents of
the former governor who want
him to lead the Democratic party
to the polls in 1912.
1t is believed that the candi-
dacy of Joseph w. Folk is causing
some apprehension to the friends
of Governor JudsOn Harmon. of
Ohio; Governor Marshall. of
Indiana, and Mayor Gaynor. of
New York city. In the case of
the two governors, there is no
doubt that the nomination would
be gladly accepted. With Mayor
Gaynor it is different. Many
believe that the executive of
New York city does not aspire
to higher office than he now
holds and would fatty reject any
proposition to elevate him even
to the vice presidency.
The Folk boomers are active
in the East, in the South and in
the West. Lon Sanders, of the
Democratic League of Missouri,
has been making a tour through
the New England States inter
viewing Democratic leaders.

Wreck Narrowly AYerted.

A rear-end collision that
probably would have cost a num-
Der of lives and the destruction
of much valuable property was
narrowly averted on the Southern
railway near the depot i'm Fort
Mill Friday at noon. The work
train which had been engaged
for several days in cleaning the
drains in the cut was at work a
few hundred yards north of the
Main street crossing, occupying
the main line. The flagman of
of the work train was sent out
to flag against approaching
northbound trains. but upon
reaching the depot he sat down
and was soon fast asleep, en-
tirely oblivious of the approach
of a melon train. which ran by
the depot, but fortunately was
stopped by a signal Of Operator
ID. f. Lee to the conductor. who
was riding in the caboose. The
melon train got within few
yards of the work train before
it could be stopped.
The negligent hagman was dis
charged from the service of the
railway company Sunday.

Rube Benton a Puzzle.

The Cincinnati Times-Star is
worrying over the case Of Rube
Benton, who was sold by Macon
to the Cincinnati Nationals some
weeks ago for $1,000. Benton
formerly lived in Lancaster and
is well known in baseball circles
in this section. Here is what
was said about Benton in a recent
issue Of The Times-Star:
'Rube Benton has now been
seen by Chicago and Cincinnati
audiences. He has paraded
twice, and, from the standpoint
of hits. runs, bases on balls and
general success, has been one of
the most monumental frosts
turned loose since the panic of
1873. And yet he is a mystery.
The fans still think he has the
goods. and that with good sup
port he will become a conqueror.
On both of Benton's tryouts he
received absolutely miserable
support from the Reds. The work
done Demnd nm was enough to
crab the work of any pitcher and
to make his best attempts LOOK
pitiful. 1t is quite true that the
boy pitched wildly and with bad
judgment, but he wasn't getting
any help from anybody. Give
Benton a show on a day when
the Reds are working snappily
and without errors, when things
are breaking right and there is
pepper in the very atmosphere,
it is the belief of the fans that he
will make good and prove worth
a considerable portion of the
81, 900 that was paid for him. He
certainly has wonderful curves. "
