Crashing the Chance

A countrywoman arrived at a Lon
don station, and one of the first
things she saw was a man setting of
pigeons in a race.
For some moments she stood fasci-

and liberated the birds.
Suddenly an idea came to her. She
rushed up to the man.

"While a full compilation of the

in the banks have increased as

will mean a total gain in deposits
of over $60,OOO,O0O for the pc

High Pressure
Sales Racket Is
Staged In Shelby

SHELBY, Nov. 2O.-A clever
piece of racketeering among the

a private detective over the week
end and one of the principals was
bound over to the January term
of court on bond of $500. go.
w. M. Brazil was charged with
fraud and misrepresentation in
/ regard to selling magazines Or
farm papers TO colored man,
Hope MCKINNEY, from whom he
is alleged tc have taken three dol,
lars, after promising to send him
the paper for three cents. -
The racket is. this: A group of
high pressure statesmen, about a
dozen of them, were. said to have
been in Shelby last week. They
would scatter out on the crowded
street corners and set nets for
roping in as many subscribers for
J Their papers as possible.
They would offer their paper
for three cents, which of course
appealed to many of the farmers
who liked the pictures. Then they
would ask the victim if he had
any change, five dollar bill for
three or two, or a one. Usually
he did. Then in a number of such
cases some of the group would
deity short-change the buyer and
lose him in the crowd. f. j. Pet
ty, L. G.. Ledford and w. j.
Waterson are said to have been
"gypped" in this manner, although
they did not prosecute. McClun-
ney saw the chief about it, who at
once got busy.
After Chief Wilkins had had
several complaints he SCI a detec-'
tive to watch their activities and
one man by the name of Mangum
was fired from the group and
was asked to leave town, but is
reported to have continued his
work on the sly. 49,, ..,
In the MCKINNEY case a man
by the name of Brazil presented
his proposition after asking the
colored man if he could read, if
he had any money, and other
questions. He offered the South
ern Planter to Hope for a period
of Is years for three dollars; the
negro didn't like it and Brazil
gave him back, a dollar, He still
didn't like it and insisted that he
didn't want the paper, but Bra
zils partner came along and gave
him pocketknife in exchange for
a package of needles the darkey
had i'm his hand which got the fell
low so mixed that he didn't know
where. he was. -..-,.N-.,-... |
Chief Wilkins estimated that

short-changed orr fooled in this
manner.

The next time she says: "f'm

Some persons seem to need to

IF Richberg makes any bad

the White House, according to the
severity of the reaction against
him. He is also exposed to cabi-

But one secret Of Richberg's
strength is the fact that Roosevelt
knows his ambitions are subordi-

The chief thing Richberg must

the shelter of these debt-ridden
homes. The farmers of the desti-
tute Panhandle know that in 1880
a bumper crop Of wheat was raised,
but that it brought such low prices
that their profits did not carry them
through the year that followed. In
1881 and 1882 there was the
drought, followed by rains and
heavy winds, which ruined what
ever crops had managed to survive.
This year the drought is worse.
