EVIDENCE
M FOrger Brought To Light
In Newark
When A Bank Receives
Several Bogus Checks
Newark Advocate }

Two more checks purporting to have
been issued by the Graves-Manning
manufacturing company, Newark, o.,
and drawn on the Commercial Bank &
Trust company, one signed by ID. G.
Graves, manager, and the other by the
same man with the title Of treasurer,
reached the Franklin National bank
Tuesday from "A correspondent at
Cleveland.
Sixteen or eighteen of these fraud
uient checks have been received by
the Franklin bank within the past few
weeks and of course all have been pro.
tested.
The swindle is a new and clever one,
none OF the local bankers having any
knowledge of the system being used
before.
The operator has gone to the trouble
of having the checks printed, bearing
the name of fictitious firm as well
as a bank which does not exist
He operates far enough from New
ark to be reasonably sure that his
fraud will not be discovered until he
is far enough away to save himself
from pursuit.
Endorsements on the backs of the
checks indicate that the last two were
dashed In Troy, S. c., and Mt. Airy, N
G. The other checks are from the
same section of the country.
II is apparent that the checks were
cashed by small business concerns
and being drawn for amounts less
than $40 II is probable that little trou
bic was experienced in getting the
money for them. In each case the
checks went through half dozen OF
more banks before reaching Newark
where the fraud was discovered. The
time elapsing between the Issuing ol
the check and the discovery of the
fraud gives the check crook plenty OF
time to make his getaway.
The checks received today were
made payable to G.. n. Coburn and G
B Smith. The Coburn check was en-
dorsed by E. +. Hollingsworth al
Troy, and the Smith check by Alber
Jessup at Mt. Airy.
The local police department has
been asked to aid in placing informa
tion OF the fraud in the hands of bank
ers and business men in the South IL
ian effort to apprehend the crook.

~ ARNsEY, February 1s.-(special)
Church work, school work, home
and garden work, constitute very
important and necessary elements in the
successful management of mining camps,
and all of these are encouraged by the
coal operators in this district.
These features have a tendency to pro-
mote the finer sense of men, women and
children of the mines; to bring comfort
and happiness and to instil ambition
Home builders and home lovers always
make the best citizens and the most sue
cessful men, women and children.
Under such influences the inhabitants of
the mining camps become fixtures, con-
servators of the peace and promoters of
prosperity. They frown upon any and
all tendency to disruption, rejoice in the
reign of peace and become partakers of
the blessings which flow from faithful
discharge of duty.
The interest manifested by the miners of
this district in the matter of home i'm
provement, tree and vine planting, gar
dening and so forth, seems to present ev-
fdence that they art settled down per-
manently and do not expect to move
away. Many of the families are planting
vineyards and orchards on plots they
rent for nominal sum.
This application of energy, skill and
provident care is not confined to the white

cents This guarantees full service IN
these necessities. If an employe gets
hurt one-half of his wage is paid him

The commissary is well arranged, neat

prices to all the people.
The new houses in course of erection are
preparatory to an increase force. The
company is now installing a new 500 horse
power Vulcan hosting engine, which will
meet an increased output to 1900 tons per
day.
This mine has never suffered from a
scarcity of cars, because three railroads
touch the mines and afford free and full
transportation. This means more labor,
more work, more progress, moro prosper
ity. These railroads furnish a market for
the product OF the mines when domestic
orders fall off
/ Water and timber supply on the 5000
acres owned here by the company are
abundant, and this fact assures econom-
ical management for years to come. The
management at Garnsey consists of:
Robert lang, manager; David McSehury,

complete renovation and transforma-
ton has taken place at Garnsey in the
past several months. sinse Mr.. Robert
Lang, the general manager took charge.
This is in the work of remodeling and
undermining the older dwellings, and in
the construction of new houses to supply
the demands of the increasing force and
population.
Said prominent mine man to this
writer: "A few years ago the average
miner of this district was satisfied with
an humble cabin to live in, with a pair of
brogan shoes and a suit of overalls Now
he must wear fine shoes, best of clothes
and live In ceiled or plastered home,
with four to six rooms, glass windows,
shades and the house artistically painted.
Must have waterworks and electric
lights, same as city people enjoy"
Really this is the transformation that
has taken place at Garnsey, and best of
all, the improved homes are rented to the
miners at merely nominal price, about
$1.2o per room per month, and water free.
By the way. this water is piped from the
water system at Marvel, which water sys-
tenn draws it's supply from the Garnsey
company's property, and under this ar
rangement employees at Garnsey, as well
as Marvel, are furnished. Besides this
system deep bored wells. protected
against pollution by surface water, are
dotted throughout the camp.
Strict sanitary regulations are enforced
under direction of DIR. Sparks, the mine
physician. Sanitary inspection is rigid

any kind. No gas or dust explosions are

for emergency.
The pick system is in use and mining
by machines has not been introduced here.
Another liberal feature is the use of a
check weighman, employed by the miners
for their full protection against error in
weights. The scale of the Tennessee COM
pany is in vogue at Garnsey and many
of the miners, white and colored. are MAX
ing from 800 to $125 per month.
Fixed monthly assessments are paid by

the first of them arrived rations were is
sued. Flour by the barrel was distrib-
uted and soon hundreds of tortilias were
being cooked over the fires. Beef, bread,
flour, rice, beans and coffee made up the
first meal, and they all ate lavlshly.
Thousands of sight-seers from the city
crowd the cars to the fort to get a view
of the camp, and cameras are in evidence
on every hand. None are allowed inside
the guard lines without a pass from the
commanding officer at the fort.

The Garnsey mine was opened by the
present owners Is years ago, and it's out

about 100 tons per day is rushed to the
markets from the mine. The Thompson
seam is the producer. This seam carries
a thickness of about six inches of Cahaba

mine now gives employment to a force of
1856 men, of whom 2n are miners. AS an
