SUPPOSED BANK
THIEF IS JUWSUD
Negro At Cassville Charged
With Filching Funds.
The arrest of a uegro at Cass
\ille last Saturday was the result
ui a clever series of roberies at the
Cassville bank.
Mr. Baxter Rollins, the cashier
of ihe bank, siuce last July has
oeen missing varied sums of money
from the bank, and knowing that
all cash went into the vault at
nijjht and that the buiiding
uas locked during his ab
m i.oe in the day, was at a loss to
account for the shortness of his
cash. At onetime his cash came up
;i hundred dollars short.
Mr. Rollins of course made the
shortage good,but was puzzled
sorely over the missing funds.
A negro named Mayhew Wil
son had been seen frequently with
sums of money which those uotic
ing it didn’t believe he had legit
lmally earned, as he never was
known to work.
He was suspicioned by Mr. Rol.
1 ins and others, as he had done
chores around the bank at times
and had washed Mr, Rollins’ car
at times.
Saturday Mr. Rollins, who had
discovered that a back window he
had been fastening he had once or
twice found unfastened,, decided to
watch for developments and se
creted him at a barn commanding
a view of the window. It was at
the dinner hour and the cashier
didn’t have long to wait. The ne
gro appeared and fumbled at the
window, but couldn’t get in.
He was afterward calked into the
bank where Mr. J.R. Pratt, the
bailiff, Mr. Pittard and others con
fronted him for his arrest. He re
sisted stoutly, but was soon over
come and sheriff Calloway tele
phoned, went and took him in
charge, but after a committal trial,
binding him over.
The negro having occasional ac
cess to the bank, had been leaving
the bank window unfasted after
Mr. Rollins had fastened it, and
coming back had raided the cash
drawers, as it is changed.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1915.
Staten. The former Austrian consul
general at San Francisco has confess
ed that the effort to destroy muni
tions plants and fomenting strikes
was carried on under the supervision
of Bernstorff. The Austrian embassy
says Gorricar’s statement lias no foun
dation in fact, and charges that he
left bis post on leave and ftiilcd to
return.
About twenty-seven Americans are
believed to have been lost with the
torpedoed Italian liner Ancona, ac
cording to a cable to Ihe state de
partment from Ambassador Page.
The nation’s corn crop this year,
while not the largest in the history
of the country, is the most valuable.
It is stated that it will be worth not
less than two billion dollars.
News of the sinking of the Ancona
precipitated a sensation in Washing
ton. It is clearly shown the vessel
could not have been carrying contra
band, and there is apparently no rea
son for the act. It probably foreshad
ows another long controversy between
the Teutonic allies, which may assume
a critical aspect before it is finished.
Rigid investigation will be made as
to whether the vessel was sunk with
out warning.
European War
TEie Russians continue their offen
sive west of Riga, and are making
an effort to get control of the railway
that connects Mitau with Windau.
There has been a revival of hard
fighting in the western zone of the
European war. The Germans claim
to have captured 300 meters of a
trench near Ecurle, while the French
-report the repulse of German attacks
in Artois and Tahure in Champagne.
The Russians are advancing to the
west of Kemmern, which fell into
their hands during the recent push.
Military experts declare the capture
o# K apim--_.nl places the German line
from Librtii to Mitau in jeopardy.
Fighting in Serbia proceeds with
out abatement. The Serbians have
reached the mountain fastnesses, and
the Teutons are making slow prog
ress. The invaders have so much dif
ficulty in bringing up artillery, that
that part of the army is practically
helpless.
Thirty persons are dead in Verona,
Italy, as a result of three Austrian
aeroplanes dropping bombs in that
city. This is the second time Verona
has been raided since Italy entered
Hie war.
So far as the American ambassador
to Italy has been able to ascertain
from official reports sent to the Ital
ian government, there were twelve
American citizens aboard the Ancona
when she was sunk. Of these only
two were saved.
Von Hindenburg has abandoned all
hope of capturing Riga and Dvinslt,
and is falling back.
The Russians claim to have captur
ed 130,000 prisoners in their recent
smashes at the German line in the
east.
Heavy losses were suffered by the
Germans in the fighting around Kem
mern and in the district Ixskull,
where, I’etrograd dispatches an
nounce, ten German attacks were hurl
ed back with frightful carnage.
The British steamship Rhineland
has been sunk, with only one surviv
or landed.
The allies continue to land troops
at Saloniki, despite protest to the Hel
lenic government from the Teutonic
allies.
It. is definitely announced in Rome
that Italy will intervene in the Bal
kan situation.
There have been only a few minor
attacks in the western war zone for
some time, and a big battle is ex
pected at any time.
The Russians in the district of Riga
and Dvinsk continue to plow holes
in the German lines, and are proving
that the Germans have made a dan
gerous move by sending part of the
eastern army into Serbia and to the
Dardanelles.
The Italians operating in Austria
continue on the aggressive and have
added anew mountain position to
their gains in Trentino.
Another German rush Is expected
in the western war zone before the
winter sets in, and the Franco-Eng-
Jish armies are on the alert.

TWINS BACK WITH FORTUNE
Started for Alaska 15 Years Ago
With Less Than One Dol
lar Capital.
Milwaukee. —With less than a dollar
between them the Poppert twins —
Oscar and Walter —left Milwaukee 15
years ago to seek their fortunes in
the Klondike.
A few days ago they returned as
owners of mining property in Alaska
said to bo worth several hundred thou
sand dollars. They are visiting their
parents, Mr, and Mrs. Henry Pop
pert, Twenty seventh avenue.
Tho adventures of,, the Poppert
twins rival those read about in the
wildest of Alaskan tales. Tho first
years In tho North were spent in
“whaling,” or rickety vessels, their
cruises taking them to Siberia, China,
Japan and the Hawaiian islands. Later,
they herded cattle, and finally, with
a team of dogs set out for the inte
rior of Alaska.
The men are now known as the
most daring explorers in the Arctic
region. They are the discoverers of
Midnight creek, now the richest gold
district in the Klondike. They found
ed Ruby City, situated along Midnight
creek, which is now a centering point
for the miners.
Aid to Sleep.
There are two very simple but ef
feclive remedies for that kind of sleep
lessness that comes from overwork oi
nervous exhaustion. One is to have
the feet very warm. Put them against
a rubber bag filled with hot Water. A
rubber bag is better than an earthen
bottle, as it will retain the heat fot
hours. Tho second method is much
more simple. Discard the pillow, turn
over and lie on the stomach with
nands clasped under the lorehtai to
lift tho bead a trifie. This will often
send one to sleep.
When you are tired and nervous a
good rubbing all over the body with
the lotion here given will be very rest
fill. Lie quietly In bed after the rub
bing for half an hour and you will then
feel quite equal.to taking up the daily
tasks again. Here is the lotion: Di
luted alcohol, six ounces; cologne wa
ter, six ounces; tannin, ten grains.

Noth!.ig Too Hot.
Cbabert, the tiro king, who was a
popular favorite in London many years
ago, claimed to be able to swallow
arsenic and other poisons with im
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and
oxalic acid, which he proceeded to
tmsume before their eyes, taking an
.itidote afterward which was sup
posed to neutralize thei' effects.
Then, to show that he was as im
pervious -to heat as to poison, he would
take a raw leg of lamb into an oven
heated to 220 degrees and remain in
side until the joint was cooked, when
it was carved, and handed around to
the audience. The performance con
cluded by Cbabert rubbing a red-hot
shovel on bis head and face and allow
ing anyone who wished to drop molten
scaling wax on his tongue and hands.

COTTON SHOULD BE
PBOPEBEY HOUSED
Importance of Good Ware
housing Slrongly Urged.
It is very impojtanf, ac.ordl g to
the specialists of the U. 8. Depart
■Dent of Agriculture, that all cotton
that is not marketed when ginned
should be stored or p'aced in a posi
tion where it will bo protected from
•njury by moistnre. Wtrere'eot'on Is'
exposed to rain it is subject to serious
injury; and where it is sheltered but
left in contact with the wet ground
it is likely to become seriously dam
aged. It Is frequently lli6 case that
people do no realize the amount of
damage that is douo. In uiAhy instan
ces cotton appears from the outside
oi the bale to be in fairly goou con
dition, when it is really badly Injured
inside due to the fact that moisture
has beet) allowed to penetrate the
bu|e, t.nus uusing mildew. • /.r
It is not unusual, according to the
Departments data, for cotton to suf
fer a loss or from $3 00 to fIS.OO per
bale as a result of unnecessary ex- 1
ppsure. At all times it should be kept
off the ground and properly shelter
ed. where it is Impossible to place
it in a ware house it should be pro
tected by a dry shed or 11 may be
placed on poles or timbers which Will
keep it several inches from the ground ’
aud cover wiii tarpaulins. Protected
in this way, it can be held, for atz
months or even a year with very lit
tle damage.
In some sections the fknneis and
basinets men have organized cotnpaW
i.ies for the purpose of odosrruotiug
warehouses in order to protect the
cotton. This, tie investigator* be
lieve, is a move m the right direction
and every community should take
this precaution where the warehouses "
.ow available are not - ample tjr the'
pint action of the cotton - crop. They
point out, however, that many of
tin .se comtnuuii ies are making a se
rious mistake in constructing cheap
warehouses, It has been shown that’
there is an uuuual loss of SevS al
million dollors in the cost of insur
ance. This loss Is brought about pri
marily by the construction of cheap
warehouses. The rate of Inraranoe
o.i tincheap struct u res ranges from
wo to four per ceDt per annum,
vEide It is possible to insure cotton,
n the standard warehouse, wi t
•roper equipment, at the rat e A 1-4
>f one per cent per annum. Tn*
•heapst ruct urea lyst a comparatively
“W years and cost almost as much as
the standard warehouse, The saving
••n insurance will pay for the differ
■nce in cost of the warehouse i_,a
very short time, while it is better to
•onstruot inexpensive warehouses
than to allow the cotton to be dam
aged, it is much better and ev n
cheaper, in tLe long run, to con<
truct staudaid warehouses.
