BANK CASHIER IS
MISSING and
SHORT
RALPH JONES, CASHIER OF WOOD
VILE BANK DISAPPEARS
TELLS OF SHORTAGE.

Woodville, Miss, Sept. 2S.-The
Bank Of Woodville was temporarily
closed Friday and the announcement
was made at the same time that
Ralph G.. Jones, the cashier,
had disappeared, leaving be-
hind an alleged shortage of
$4,000. 1t is said that the reported
shortage is cared for by surety and
that the bank will be closed only for
an investigation of its affairs.
David G. Bramlette, Jr, son of the
president of the bank, in a state
ment authorized by his father said
that the shortage was believed to be
between $1,000 and $1,000. He ad-
ded that Jones had confessed to a
brother that he had defaulted in about
that sum, and that cotton speculations
had led him into the alleged en-
bezzlement.
According to Mr.. Bramlette, Jones
disappeared late Thursday afternoon
or night. His whereabouts are I'M
known. The missing cashier is
about 40 years old, married and has
two children.
In 1907, J. A. Davidson, the cashier
of the band of Woodville, was dis
covered to be short almost the same
sum now charged against Jones. He
committed suicide. Jones succeed
ed him in the cashiership and held
the position from that time until his
disappearance.

COTTON SEED MARKET
REMAINS STATIONERY.

Jackson, Sept. 2S.-The cotton seed
market in Mississippi has remained
stationery at SIG per ton f. o. b. at
stations during the past week.
Receipts have been heavier than
up to this period last year, and mill
managers report that seed are of
fair quality.
The opinion generally prevtils
among the mill men that there will
be no material change in market
prices during the next thirty days. 1t
is certain at least, that while offer.
ings continue free there will be no ad.
vance in the market.
Practically all of the mills in the
state are in operation, and those now
idle start during the coming week.
