York county people are warned to be
on the lookout for two new counterfeit
Federal reserve notes which are said TO
be in circulation. One Is a $40 note
on the Federal Reserve Bank Of Bos-
ton, series Of 1914, apparently printed
from hand engraved plates on single
piece Of paper containing red inh lines
imitation OF silk fibre. The title, Sec
retary Of the Treasury, which appears
under the signature Of w. G. McAdoo
on the genuine, is omitted. The num-
Der of the bill is A264761sA and all
notes so discovered bear this number.
It has a crude portrait Of Cleveland.
The other Is a IS note on the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland, series Of
1914, with a portrait Of Lincoln. 1t Is
lithographic production, printed on
heavy cheap paper, without SILK
threads or imitation Of them. The
number is D6773201A.
That there are more mich cows in
York county now than at any time In
the past several years at least, Is the
information gathered from cattle
dealers in various sections OF the
county and from well posted farmers
on the subject. At this time last year
mich cows were very scarce through
out the county and, could hardly be
purchased at any price. This year
mich cows of almost any class can De
purchased and the market Is fairly
overstocked. The increase In the num-
Der of milch cows is explained by the
fact that scores of people who until
the past twelve or eighteen months
never paid much attention to them, at
tracted by their scarcity during the
| late war have gone into the cattle
raising industry on scale larger than
ever attempted before with the result
that there has been a great increase.
Mr. r. Z. Brandon, a well known
farmer of the Bethel section who was
| in Yorkville yesterday said that there
were more mich COWS in the Bethel
section this year than he had ever
known before and that the number OF
hogs was also very much larger than
usual. There was hardly any sale for
either at the present time. According
to reports of butchers throughout the
county, they are being offered more
beef cattle than they can possibly
handle. However, the Increase In the
number Of cattle being offered, has
thus far resulted in little If any re-
duction in the price the owners want
Broad River is not the only town.
ship in York county in which white
men-more or less prominent white
men are backing negroes in the opera
tion Of Illicit distilleries," said a well
known Bullock's Creek township
farmer who was in Yorkville yester-
day attendant upon the court Of COM
mon pleas. "Bullock's Creek, b am
ashamed to say has her share of these
men and the situation Is becoming
worse. Like most of those in Broad
River, Bullock's Creek township
negroes would not dare to engage In
the manufacture of moonshine on the
scale that some Of them are doing un-
less they had the backing of white
men whom they believe will protect
them. The identities Of some of these
white men are known and there will
likely be some startling developments
in Bullock's Creek some of these days
pretty soon unless these people sever
Their connection with those who re-
fuses to obey the law"
