Plays Confidence
Game and Wins
Negro Gets Away With Small
Purse as Compensation For
His Efforts

On Friday. January 13, James
Thompson. negro man about, oo
years old, began the working OF
his game in Sumter which he was
successful in putting through but
with the realization Of very
small amount of ready cash as
reward for his rather extensive
maneuvering. The genesis OF the
little confidence game and the ne
cessary background for his oper-
atoms was his visit to local bank
of the city. The negro, at all times
very polite and smooth OF manner.
stated that he had an account OF
some $500 in the Miami Bank
and Trust Company Of Miami, Fla.
and that since he was going to
make Sumter his home, ne made
the request that this bank draw
the necessary draft on the Miami
Bank in order that this amount be
placed on deposit to his credit here
The bank gave the negro a memo
randCm slip showing where they
would communicate with the hank
in Miami as regarding the trans
fer Of theN S3.7o0. Thompson's
next visits were to several real
estate agencies. of Sumter; before
whcih agencies he clearly stated his
case telling them that he would
not have his money until the neces-
sary transfer could be brought
about matter, of a few days. He
told them that he wanted to buy
a lot in Sumter and succeeded In
interesting the real estate COM
panies to action He was shown
several lots and finally decided
upon three connecting lots on Nc
Duffie Street. He told the agency
selling these lots that he couldn't
pay until his money came but that
in order to chnch the deal that he
would give them small check
which he requested that they hold
temporarily. All we'll and good.
His next visit was to a lumber com
pany where he made out and
placed his order for the lumber for
the building of his house. He told
them just to hold off on the de-
liveries of the lumber until his
money arrived. The building per-
init was bought and paid for on,
the 10th, day of January. he, stat
ing that he was going to build
nine room, two story house on one
OF his lots and build houses on
the other two lots later. He de-
parted @shShtly from the. read es-
tate and building business In his
next move when he purchased a
tombstone for his deadr wife. He
told the same story about the mon
ey not being here just yet and re-
aucsted that the tombstone be held
for while. Said that he had not
decided upon the inscription which
he wanted engraved upon it. With
stage laid, now was the time for
action, He paid a return visit to
a real estate company and to the
concern selling him the tombstone
and obtained on the strength Of
his previous dealings and his subtle
sickness ass. small cash loan" !.
probs>. .9ly amGntins to fourteen or
fifteen dollars. The: aftermath of
the James Thompson story is, of
course quite easy to guess The re-
port Of the Miami bank was to the
effect that there was no such per-
son known to them and upon ia
vestisation, Thompson proved him
self conspicuous by his absence.
He had vacated

SHR|NERSW WILL .
SPEND $4,000.
T0DRAPEC|TY
Cost Of Decorations Heaviest
Single Expense in Coming
Convention.

More than $4,000 will be sspent
for decorating Washington for the
annual session Of the Shrine temples
Of North America here next June,
exclusive OF the amount spent by
local business firms and individuals
for decorating their own premises.
according to estimates based on the
last Shrine session, at San Francisco.
1t Is expected that the cost Of
decorations will be the heaviest
single expense attendant upon the
session. At San Francisco the Islam
Temple committee on decorations
spent $66,2S7, and the effects there
were said to be the most magnificent
in Shrine history. The local efforts
are expected to far exceed those at
the Pacific coast session.
The second largest item of expense
undoubtedly will be the erection of
grandstands. One Of the biggest of
single grandstands ever erected for
temporary purposes Is to be built
here, Stands win be built on both
sides of Pennsylvania avenue from
the Peace Monument to the Treas.
ury. Samuel ]. Prescott, chairman
Of the grandstsnds committee, will
be in direct charge Of the erection
Of the stands. 1t is expected that
the sale Of seats in the public stands
will more than pay for the cost OF
their construction. At San Fran.
cisco $4S,14S was expended for the
building of seats and $69,590 was
realized from the sale Of seats.
The pageant committee is expected
to be third in the amount Of eNpendi-
lures, the cost of the day and night
pageants probably running up to
nearly $4,000.
The work Of the finance committee,
now engaged in the raising Of a
$3.50, 900 fund, is going forward rap
idly. Canvassing of every business
firm and ind vidual in the District
by the members of S37 subcommit.
tees-one for every line OF business
here-is under way. =.

Keep Mum In Politics,
u. S. Civil Service
Warns Workers

IL you are a man who works
for Uncle Sam, muzzle your wife
at least until after November 7.
II you are a woman in the Gov
ernment service do likewise
with your husband.
This, in effect, is a warning
from the United States Civil
Service Commission in advising
Government employees and Of
ficials to watch their step as to
political activities, not only Of
themselves but others closely as
sociated with them. The COM
mission says:
Employees are accountable for
political activity by persons
other than themselves, including
wives and husbands, if, in fact,
the employees are thus accom-
plishing by collusion and indi-
rection what they may not law
fully. do directly and openly.
Political activity, in fact, regard
less of the methods used by the
employe, constitutes the viola
ton"

Friday 18th Jinx' L
Double Crossed by
Fine Morn.

According to the Gregorian
calendar, this is the thirteenth
day of the tenth month. Ac-
cording to the Scandinavian
system of naming days Of the
week, it's Friday. Falling to-
gether, the date and the day are
supposed to produce an unbeat-
able jinx. No one should
engage in q business enterprise,
such as getting married or rails
ing q pat hand or opening a
bucket-shop Black cats and
crowded street Intersections
should be sedulously avoided.
As If to give the threadbare
old superstition q K. o. punch,
the sun rose on the prettiest
morn of the autumn. The
Kiwanians opened a convention
with much jollification. The
banana peels had all been swept
off the pavement, the Turkish
situation looked better, and Tom
Lawson prepared to stage a big
comeback by selling his ivory
elephants. ~. " ....
