Appelbaum, who left Charlotte for At

here and it is stated that she accom-

That he sometimes treated his wife
harshly is the information gathered
here today.
1t is rumored that his wife, while
they lived here, had made some threats
against him, but this can not be veri
fed. 1t is said that he was usually the
aggressor.
Appelbaum was in Charlotte about

A similar contract in the Grace case,
whereby Mrs Grace was to give her
husband money, is recalled.
Evidence borne in a number of let
tiers found in Appellants effects shows
that his business affairs were tangled
and that he was heavily involved, par
ticularly to persons in the vicinity of
Charlotte, \. G. A very evident squab-
Bile between him and the Carolina

vealed in letters passing between him
and repre- entatives Of the company
concerning an insurance policy which
they asked him to surrender. Another
letter between the two speaks of notes
made by him in favor of persons in
Charlotte, and particularly of note

Financial Aid to
the Farmers

Secretary McAdoo OF the Trea-
sure has offered to put fifty mill
ION dollars OF treasury funds in
western and Southern banks to
facilitate the crop movement
this fall. We believe this is a
good thing, as it will tend to
loosen up the money market
The secretary is calling into con-
ference at Washington the pre-
sidents OF fifty eight Clearing
House associations of the
South, the West, and the Pacific
Coast.
The United States Treasury
now has over $3.50 900 10000
in surplus funds, and hitherto
this enormous sum has been
kept out of circulation. We
approve highly of the plan OF the
secretary to put a good proport-
ion of this money into circulat
ION again. Trade needs this
money, the farmers need it badly
at this time of the year.
One very desirable feature o.
the proposed government depos
