Lancaster Cashier Charged
With Crime

Lancaster News.
AS a result of investigations
conducted into the affairs of the
First National Bank of Lancas-
ter for the last 10 days by an ex-
aminer, a shortage in the ac-
counts of the cashier has been
discovered and E Curtis Mackey,
who has been cashier of the in
stltution, has been arrested
charged with embezzlement.
Mr.. Mackey was carried before
John T. Green, United States
Commissioner, and placed under
bond of $4,000 for his appear
ance at the next term of Fereral
court for the Western District of
South Carolina.
When first charged with the
defalcation, Mr.. Mackey stoutly
denied that there was anything
wrong with his accounts and
when arraigned before the com
missioner he was released on a
nominal bond, since those con-
cerned all thought that he was
innocent. Later it became clear
that the matter was more serious
than was at first thought and a
demand for additional bond was
made. which demand the defend
ant complied with.
]. William Pole, National
Bank Examiner, arrived in Ian
caster on February 16 to make
the customary examination OF
the books. He soon discovered
that something was wrong and
he summoned Assistant Exami-
ner G. NJ. Trammel and the two
examiners have been hard at
work on the case ever since.
They finally charged Mr.. Mack
ey with the embezzlement and
the examiners say that he admit
ted his guilt.
Mr.. Mackey came to Lancas.
ter when the National Bank of
Lancaster was organized in 1905;
he was collector for the insti-
tuition at that time but managed
to rise rapidly by reason of his
personally and business ability
until he became cashier a little
over one month ago. No young
man of the city enjoyed the con-
fidence and trust CT the people
than did Mr.. Mackey and every
one considered that his charac-
ter was above reproach. His
conduct has pever called for one
word OF criticism and the pres,
emf revelation has therefore been
much more severe on his frien ds
than would usually be the case.

A World Scarcity of Foodstuffs
and the Lesson for the South

u
and the Lesson for the South
Whether there be war or
peace between this country and
Germany, whether war be con-
tinued in Europe for another
year or two, or whether peace
should come, the demand for
foodstuffs will exceed the sup.
ply, both in this country and
abroad. The shortage in the
worlds food crops last year. con-
nection with conditions created
by the war, brings us nearer to a
famine situation in foodstuffs
than the world has known in
this generation. If the crops of
this country should, by unfavor-
able weather conditions or by a
lessened acreage, be short of a
full average yield, we would
have almost famine conditions,
because we will 90 into the next
crop practically barren of food
supplies.
Nothing less than bumper
crop of grain will save us from
exorbitantly high prices for
wheat and corn next winter. 1t
is important that the whole
country should understand this
situation, but it is doubly i'm.
portant that the farmers of the
South should understand it and
plant the largest acreage in grain
which they have ever had in
order to save themselves from
having to pay the highest prices
they have ever paid for their
foodstuffs.
Every business man in the
South should do all in his power
TO urge upon Southern farmers
the planting of grain and the
raising of foodstuffs of all kinds
this spring and summer.
1t is hardly possible to pre-.
dict what may happen to cotton.
The price, judged by the worlds
demand. ought to be high, but
in view of the uncertainties of
conditions here and elsewhere,
large cotton crop might prove
a misfortune by forcing prices
below a fair profit.
The South might raise too big
a cotton crop for its own pros
perity, but it cannot raise too
big grain crop nor too much
livestock. Every available acre
should be put into the raising of
foodstuffs. into grain. into vege-
tables. potatoes, and as much
attention as possible should be
given to livestock, and even to
the raising of chickens and to
dalrying, for the purpose of
meeting the home demand for
foodstuffs.
1t will be almost a crime for
any Southern farmer not to pro.
vide. during the coming spring
and summer, for all of the food
stutfS which his family will need
for the next twelve months.
Anything short of that would be
ignoring every condition which
this country and the world con.
fronts in the lack of foodstuffs
and in the certainty of high
prices. Business men, State gov.
ernments and the national gov.
ernment owe it to the farmers
and to the welfare of the country
to stress these points with all
possible emphasis. The South
can become independent for
foodstuffs by quick and vigorous
action this spring and summer
by its farmers. and if it fails to
do so, it will be drained of hun
dreds of millions of dollars for
high priced foodstuffs, which
should have been raised at home,
