TO illustrate the point But tho one
which particularly appeals { me is
that Of John Davis. who recently
pleaded guilty IN New Haven, Conn.
to making plates for counterfeit FIVE
dollar notes. Davis Is an old offender.
end the illustrative case which / have
IN mind was n IN which be was the
central figure years back. It was
known as the Bank Of England plot.
Davis had manufactured IN London
and had planned there to lay down
counterfeit Bank OF England notes
representing q value In excess Of
100000. His scheme was to have his
~confederates IN each Of the great
money centers-London, Paris, Ber-
lin, Vienna, st. Petersburg and New
York, simultaneously exchange the
notes at foreign money exchange bro
kers' Offices.
The workmanship OF the product
wal almost perfect. The notes we're
the closest imitation to the Bank Of
England notes that have ever been
discovered.
Soon everything was IN readiness
for the grand unloading-except one
thing. The conspirators had not tried
out the money to learn how readily Il
might be accepted. Accordingly two
Of the men assigned to the New York
end Of the plot went over to the State
bank on Grand street and offered
counterfeit notes representing a value
Of $3.50. The conspirators erred in
presenting 80 much foreign money for
exchange at one time to a bank In that
neighborhood. The officials Of the IN.
stitutlon compared the offered notes
with genuine notes Of the Bank OF
England. but could find no difference.
Still the officials we're suspicious, babe
the conspirators wait a few minutes
and called up the secret service office,
which hurried men to the bank.
Inevitable Detail Overlooked.
A close examination of the offered
notes by the government agents
showed the color Of the printing to be
true; the color, ply and size Of the
paper to measure accurately with the
Bank Of England requirements, and
the strong main features of the etch-
ing represented in the print were true
to a shading.
Yet, as always, the detail was there
to prove the counterfeit work. The
watermark of the spurious notes was
more pronounced than the genuine.
Further, and to me more wonderful
still, a tiny guard, carefully placed on
the genuine note, was lacking in the
counterfeit. It was a little thorn
shaped protuberance extending from a
certain letter in the word denominat-
ing the value Of the note. The tiny
little sentinel could be observed only
with the aid Of a fine magnifying
glass. It would be found only acci-
dentally except by one knowing ex-
actly where to look for It.
The New York members of the con
spiracy we're arrested, but released
when they stood on the assertion
that they had found the notes in the
street.
However, that was not all for the
c~onspirators. Later, Davis was arrest.

dence, received a suspended sentence
and a reward, and came to this coun-
try to try his hand. His confession
resulted in is of the conspirators go

Old Clothing Wanted.

Mr.. w. NJ. Carothers, over
seer of the Southern Power COM
pany's lands, a large portion of
which lie in the hail stricken
district of the county, requests
The Times to issue an appeal to
the people of Fort Mill and vi
cinity for relief for the people
of that district. The negroes of
that section, Mr.. Carothers says,
are in dire need of help, es-
pecially in the way of additional
clothing. On the Southern
Power company's lands are AZ
negro children under ten years
of age who are most scantily
clad and not a one of these have
shoes on their feet. The case
was cited of one little negro
girl whose clothing consisted
only of an old quilt, with arm
holes cut out. and fastened
around her body with string.
Besides these, there are hum
dreds of others in as destitute
condition.
The people of Fort Mill al e
asked to help these poor people.
Any kind of old cast off clothing
or shoes will relieve much suffer-
ing. Mr.. Carothers asks that
any of our people having articles
of clothing that can be spared
to wrap them in bundles and
leave them at the store of A. o.
Jones, and it will be pleasure
of his to see that they are prop
erly distributed. 1t is hoped and
believed that many will respond
at once to this appeal.
