fears.

WalterborO. July 14.--A committee
OF expert accountants has just finish
ed checking the books of the Bank
of Lodge, located at Lodge, a small
town in the upper end of Colleton
county, and reported to the officers
an apparent shortage of $1,000, the
same being scattered over a period Of
three years since the bank was Or
ganized. G. L. Gooche was cashier
of this bank up until q short while
ago, resigning at about the time the
shortage was discovered. The CASH
Ter claims that the alleged shortage
Is merely the result of irregularities
or mistakes in bookkeeping and that
he has not received any money.
The bank examiner made his usual
inspection about a month ago, and
reported nothing wrong with the
books of the bank, but the officers
on account Of the bank not paying as
large dividends as II should and
other reasons, decided to have
thorough examination made which
resulted as above. Mr.. Gooche has
been with the bank since it was first
organized. Mr.. Gooche Is still in
Lodge. and no arrest or criminal
charge has been made against him. 1t
Is understood that the matter has
been reported to the bonding COM
pany which gave bond for him IN the
sum of $1,000. and action here is
suspended until 1t makes it's investi.
CATION. While the books are alleged
to show a shortage of the 5000, no
charge has been made by the ac-
countants or the officers OF the bank
and every opportunity will be af-
forded those interested to show that
the shortage is only the result of bad
bookkeeping.
tt. a shortage existed has been
generally known in the community
for some time, the exact nature of
which not being divulged until lust

fered with the business Of the bank.
The financial affairs of the bank are

While the matter has been the
cause of much conversation through

has not been heralded sensationally,

"A WORD FROM THE
WOMEN.

Say! amt It funny what lot OF things
men overlook.
They seem to feel we women never do
a thing but cook.
They really think they run the house
and everything that's in it,
But gee! they couldn't get along with
out us for minute.
We women are the ones who keep the
woodwork shining bright
Who buy enamel for the bath to make
# it gIistening white.
We women varnish tables and we buy
the stains for chairs,
And we buy the proper colors to
brighten up the stairs.
We women are the ones who say what
paint goes on the halls
Which shades for parlor and for den
for baseboards and for walls.
We women stain and wax the floors,
or else weemake the man.
We women are the ones who keep the
whole town spic and span.

The one most important factor in

thrift and civic pride, which the
Bureau is trying to do, is the work
Of newspaper editors throughout the
country, asserts Chairman Clark. For
instance, here is what Paul Brown,
editor Of The st. Louis Republic, has
to say of the movement:
Thousands Of American cities and
towns have taken up the National
Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
that originated in st. Louis three sea
sons ago. 1t has been Endorsed by
thousands Of civic, commercial and
women's organizations all over the
nation. The cities that have made
are cleaner and better cities because
Of it. The Republic aided In launch
ing the initial campaign and Is glad
to know that the Federation of
Women's Clubs is planning general
st. Louis campaign for this spring.
This will aid in making st. Louis the
Healthiest City, for paint is the great
preserYative and powerful aid in
sanitation. Add to beauty and economy
the fact that paint has a sanitary
value, and the arguments apply with
added force to the big cities. Nat
urally the paint dealer profits by such
campaigns None but the pessimist
will object to this. He gives value
received and more. The house that
Is painted Is the better. for it. A
neighborhood that has cleaned up and
painted up Is a better one in which
to live. Paint makes for self-respect
and justifable pride"
In the Office Of the National "Clean
Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau
hangs a roonl-size wall map, with
every state dotted by red stars de-
noting cities conducting campaigns
last year. And so 1t is true that civic
leaders in thousands of towns are
working to get their town on the
map" this year.
