Huge Profits Made Dealing in
Foreign Stamps.
Conversion Rates Under Old
Agreement Varied Greatly.

Washington. July 29.-Operations
by which profits were made in trading
in international money orders and
stamps were explained here today.
A money order for a pound sterling
could be bought in London for a little
less than 81 American money. In this
country the order brought $4.Sf.
Great Britain stood the loss until the
government hit upon the plan of stop
ping the practice by taxation. Not all
countries have done this. however.
In the same way an Italian scent
stamp could be bought for about 1
cent American money. 1t could be
cashed here for 5 cents or sold to a
stamp broker for something over
cents.

in postal rates and real exchange
rates, Charles Ponzi of Boston made
more than 100000 in few months

DELAY IN RAILWAY BACK PAY.
when Adjustments Are Made Three
Months, Check VIII Come.

Santa Fe general office employees
were excited this afternoon over the
rumored delay of their back pay,
which, under the increase rates,
amounts to an average of $3.50 for
each employe. 1t was unofficially an
nounced at the Santa Fe offices to-
day that the back pay. which was to
be paid as soon as the pay-rolis can
be readjusted, will not be given to the
EMPLOYEES until the first of August.
The reason which is given by the pay
masters office, is to the effect that
it is impossible for the complete sys-
TEN of pay-rolls over the Santa Fe
railway, to be adjusted to the in
creasd pay basis, in SO short time.
At the general offices, this morn
ing no word had been received from
Chicago relative to the new system OF
pay and the work was started on
the old basis in order to have the
present ayyenvelopes for employees on
their payday, this month. When the
back pay does reach the employees,
it will include wages for three months,
May, June and July.

BRITISH TOAST
FIRST PRESIDENT

London, Feb. 23.-Three hundred
prominent Britons and Americans as
guests of the lord mayor of London
his afternoon toasted Washington as
'one of the heroes of the British
ace" and acclaimed love of justice,
reedom, humanity and peace as
.ommon bonds uniting the two peo-
lie.
The occasion was aluncheon COM
nemorating the first American presi-
lent's birthday anniversary and
marking the first of a series of
unctions in connection with the ter
entenary of the Mayflower's sailing.
Viscount Brice, the former British
ambassador to the United States, pro-
posing the toast, Success to the ter
centary celebrations" said the cele-
bration would be celebrated in Amer
lea aid Holland, and he hoped it
would be celebrated no 'less heartily
in England" He declared that the
two nations must stand for their
common ideals in peace as they have
in war, and called attention to the
fact that "the problems of peace are
harder than those of war times"
Lord Burnham, in seconding this
toast, affirmed "what we need is un-
derstanding not only of the eye and
mind, but, above all, of the SOUL"
The Mayflower's manifest, he add
ed, represented the greatest cargo of
concentrated essence of world
power in the worlds history" He de-
clared that the reestablishment of the
old Washington home on Sulgrave
manor would be the erection of "a
temple to the future of mankind"
The American ambassador, John
w. Davis, in responding, said there
vas no reason why Britons and
Americans everywhere may not
"again ;ededicate themselves to the
perpetuation of the ideals for which
Washington stood. Of all the mad and
misguided men, in the world today,
declared the ambassador, he is most
mad and misguided who would cast
the apple of discord between the two
English speaking nations"
Lord Reading proposed "the memo
ry of Washington and the friendship
of the British and American peoples.

Mr.. RIVERS OF CHESTERFIELD
WAREHOUSE COMMISSIONER
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
J. Clifton Rivers was unanimously
elected to succeed the late Capt. w.
G. Smith, for a term of four years.
He was unopposed, his only conten-
der, A. A. Richardson, of Columbia.
not allowing his name to be offered.
The election of Mr.. Rivers took but
minute to be consummated. after
he had been nominated by W. R.
Bradford, of York, chairman of the
ways and means committee.
The new warehouse commissioner
was born at Mt. Croghan, Chesterfield
county, January 27, 1876, and was
graduated at the Chesterfield high
school in 1892 and from Wofford col
lege in 1894. He married Miss Mary
E. Allen, of Mt. Croghan, September
1, 1901. and is the father of ten
children. Mr.. Rivers has been a far
mer in Chesterfield county all his life
and is one of the leading agricultur-
lists of his section.
The new commissioner receives an
annual salary of $4,000.

To the Index-Journal.

To the Index-Jo ournal.
Was reading in your paper of this
date an account of a swindlnig game
which negro was trying to pull off
ON a farmer of the Hodges section to
the sum of 5000 through the finding
of a $500 bill and which he would
have succeeded in doing it had not
been for the action of Mr.. Palmer,
cashier of the Peoples Bank of Hod-
ges. This brings to my mind a similar
case which happened here at Able
vile a few months ago when negro
farmer was skinned out of $500.
In this case the negro crook picked
up pocket-book which he said to the
unsuspecting negro near him that he
had just found a purse containing a
$1OO bill and that he would change it
for him and say nothing about it
if he would divvy up with him.
The old negro only had $S5
which he gave him and the other ne
gro in turn gave the negro farmer a
signed due bill on the Paving Com
pany and told him to present it to US
the following morning and that it
would be paid, as he was working for
US and we owed him that amount.
When the old negro presented the
bill to me the following morning, I
told him that we did not have any
such negro working for US and he
realized then that he had been "flin-
flammed," and said he would have
ost more had it not been for the
fact that he gave the balance to his
wife only a few minutes before.

HE SAVED HIS COIN,
BUT LOST HIS WIFE
Index Journal.

Index Journal.
A smooth band of swindlers have
been operating in Greenwood accord
ing to a statement made yesterday by
Mr.. w. H. Palmer, cashier of the Peo'
ples Bank at Hodges, who was the
means of saving one of the negro
customers from a loss of two hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Palmer succeeded
in saving the negro nice wad OF
cash, but he couldn't save his wife
who left him yesterday stating that
she couldn't live wild no fool nigger
who amt got no more sense than to
let 'em take his money"
The swindle seems to have been
confined to the negro population and
especially the unsuspecting negro far
mer who Of late has been somewhat
rolling in wealth. The game seems to
be worked along this line; finding
out that certain negro has money in
the bank or cash in his pockets, he
is engaged in an ordinary converse
ton. AS the two separate, the swind-
ler stoops and picks up pocket-book,
which he has previously laid nearby
on the ground. He announces to the
victim that it has a $500 bill in it
which he is willing to split fifty-fifty
provided the matter is kept a secret
The victim goes off to get sufficient
coin to change the big bill in half
which he turns over to the swindler
who then tells him that he can get the
$500 by ealing at certain place at a
certain time. Of course the certain
place and certain time turn out to be
certain fiction and the negro is out
his half of the big bill.
The Hodges negro had evidently
run across one of the swindlers. He
went to the Peoples Bank where he
had nice little sum stored away anc
drew 5000 stating to Mr.. Palmer tha
he would deposit $500 the next day
After an explanation of how this wa
done, Mr.. Palmer persuaded him tt
let the game alone, which he did. HI
raved his money and lost his wife.
The same game or one very simila
has been worked in several nearb.
towns with more or less degree o
success. Several negroes in Union do

the point of confiscation."
"There are three funademntal and
insuperable objections to the league
of nations" the former senator said.
"The first is that it surrenders part
of our sovereignty into the keeping
of an European council; the second
is that it will involve us so long as it
exists in European complication and
the third is that it obligates the Uni
ted States to furnish soldiers for wars
