FRAUD LEADS TO DIsMIssALs.
NJ. Il. Harris and II. B. LOngre, of
Mississippi, are Involved.

Annapolis, Md, June 28.-M. T..
Harris, of Mississippi, a young en-
listed man in the GT,vy, was escorted
to the boundaries OF the government
reservation at Annapolis and there
dishonorably discharged from the
service because no had impersonated
another man In an examination for
admission to the naval academy as q
midShipman.
Harris won a designation from
United States Senator Williams to
take the entrance tests under new
plan Of Secretary Of the Navy Dan
iels for the benefit Of enlisted men.
He passed the tests and later took
the place Of II. B. Longre, also Of
Mississippi. and passed the first
examination for him in Virginia.
When Longre appeared at the naval
academy to take the physical test,
the deception was discovered be-
cause his Handwriting did not agree
with that in the first examination
papers.
Although kept in ignorance Of the
investigation and told that he was
suffering from a slight physical de-
feet, Longre left Annapolis when
publicity was given to the affair and
did not return.
The Naval Academy authorities
recommended a courtmartial for
Harris, but the ruling Of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy was for dishonora-
Bile discharge. Harris had been
prisoner aboard the prison ship
Reina Mercedes since the discovery
of his guilt.
Longre's case has been referred to
the Civil Service Commission at
Washington.

REDUCING THE BONDED DEBT.
First Payment on Maturing Principals
Was Made Yesterday.

Ten years ago to-day Gully I.
1904D Oconee county fioated bond
issue Of $4,000, the amount being
retirable In three installments OF
$4,000 each at ten-year intervals,
the whole bearing interest at rate
of per cent per annum, payable
Semi-annually. The first ten-year
period was completed yesterday, and
the county officials mailed out
cheek covering the first payment on
principal ($15, 5,00O) and interest for
six months. up to June 80, 1914. On
June 80, 1924, the second payment
will be due. and it will be met, as
in the present instance, with funds
raised by a small tax levy, this be-
ing supplen Hnted by interest drawn
by the surplus Of this special fund,
which is kept loaned out to the banks
continually. On June 80, 1884, the
last installment will be due, and at
that time the total Indebtedness will
be wiped out.
Up to the present time the inter-
est on the total bond issue has been
cared for out of tax levy Of n
mill until 1913, when the levy was
reduced to u mill because it was
found that the original levy raised
a little more than the necessary
amount to meet the needs OF the
case. The funds necessary in the
future to meet interest on the bonds
will be less than heretofore, and it
may be that the n mill levy will
carry the interest permanently, as
there will be in the future interest
to pay on 100000 instead of $45,-
600 as in the past.
There may be many who do not
understand the circumstances that
made the bond issue necessary, but
it will be recalled by all that some
years ago Oconee suffered great loss
by reason of the freshets, when prac-
tically every bridge in the county OF
any consequence was swept away.
These had to be rebuilt, and this I n
usual expenditure was called for at
a time when the county was already
, in debt. Hence it was deemed ex-
pedient to wipe out the general debts
by issuing bonds in a sum sufficient
to pay off all claims with the pro-
| ceeds of the bond issue. .F;
