Counterfeit money in the shape of a well. initiated silver dollar is being cir culated in Ensley and vicinity. The moulding is excellent, though the metal is rather dark.
 The ones in the hands of the police are dated 1899. The circulation of the queer" seems to have been confined to negroes, as the money that was detected was in the possession of colored people.
 The police department is using every effort to locate the source from which the money is being distributed and hope to effect the arrest of the guilty.
