SHORTAGE CHARGED TO CASH.
IER.
C. T.. Goechc, Formerly of Bank OF
Lodge, Lodged i'm WalterBoro Jail.

+ WalterbOrO, Nov. &C. L. Gooche,
former cashier of the Bank of Lodge,
Is in Jail here charged with embez-
zling $1,000 from the Bank Of Lodge.
1T will be remembered that the affairs
Of this bank were checked UP some
time ago by expert auditors and re-
vealed shortage which Mr.. Gooche
alleged was the result of bad book
keeping. Nothing was done about it
at the time, save to report the matter
to the bonding company on the bond
Of Mr.. Gooche. This leads now to the
arrest upon the charge Of embezzle-
ment. Attorneys have been employed
on both sides and strong legal battle
for the freedom of Mr. Gooche is
promised. Bail will probably be ap-
piled for at once.
/ The shortage with which Mr..
Gooche is charged began to accrue
from the organization of the bank
some three years ago. 1t gradually
grew larger until Il was discovered
1t appears that the State bank ex-
Iaminer reported some Irregularities
a short while before the actual short
age was discovered and later a COM
mittee Of auditors went over the ac-
counts from the time of the organiza-
ton of the bank, finding the short
age.
Mr.. Gooche is from Kentucky
where it is understood that he is
prominently connected. He came to
this county to take the position with
the Bank Of Lodge Immediately upon
its organization. He claims that all
OF it is the result Of errors in book
Keeping and that no money has been
taken and seems confident of the out
come.
The bank is still running and its
officers claim that it is perfectly safe.
1t was affected only temporarily by
the alleged shortage and in fact the
president of the bank, DIR. Moorer,
soon after the shortage was discover
ed, posted notice in the bank that
all depOsitors could then withdraw
their money. No run was made and
the bank today is said to be in sound
condition.

The Southern Textile association to-

tive that building costing some s4O,-
600 can be provided for textile shows
in Greenville.
The plans looking to making this

sition, as Boston is Of the Northern
show. are left in the hands of the Of
ilcers of the Soutf ern Textile associa-

TO TAX AMERICAN AGENCIES

McKenna Proposes to Set Income
Tax ON Basis of Earnings I'm Britain.
London, Nov. r4.--The chancellor of
the exchequer. Reginald McKenna to-
day promulgated an order under which
agencies Of American mercantile firms
operating in Great Britain will be
compelled to pay an income tax on the
basis or their total earnings in Great
Britain, including money returned to
the United States.
Hitherto these agencies lave only
paid an income tax on the profits ex-
pended in this country. The new tax
Will hit some agencies very hard AMI
may have the effect of discouraging
the importation of what in war time
are considered luxuries that cause an
unfavorable trade balance. Armour &.
Co., the Standard Oil Company and
similar firms, duly Incorporated here
and paying an income tax as such,
will not be affected by the new ruling.
The British government for some
time has been graphing with the
agency problem, trying vainly to force
taxes from agencies which consistent
ly showed no profits. due to the fact
that goods were billed to them at
prices making local profits impossible,
1T Is declared, though the profit to the
American factory was handsome.
Agents that were seen today regarding
the matter stated that they have not
been advised of their now status. As
general rule they have referred the
subject to counsel.
