ITKI l DATED A ff Ol NTEHKEIT. Secret Service Ageat Naklw* Iwvea tlueiton* Here. A United States seer-1 service agent Is In the city for the purpose of tracing the course of a 110 counterfeit bill, and Inci dentally looking Into the conduct of the people who aided In the clrculallon of the bill. The story Is an interesting one. The bill first made Its appearance at the Southern Bank about two months ago Its character was at once detected by the teller, who returned It at once to the de positor, a well known and responsible bus iness man. Incidentally the teller marked the bill, and made a note of Its class and number. It Is said to have been a verv clumsy piece of wotk, being simply a 91 silver certificate which had been raised to l V by erasure, and writing in the higher figures Many hours must have been ex- I nded In the work nn.l some surprise was expressed by those who saw the hill that anyone should have gone to so much trouble, to say nothing of the risk, for the sake of a few dollars. The depositor was notified of the char acter of the bill and the counterfeit re turned to him How it got into circulation again Is not known. Probably he retutn <d It to the man from whom he obtained It. A month later the hill showed up al the Citizens Bank, where It was recog nized by Teller Clark as a counterfeit. The bill was returned to the depositor, this lime a lawyer, with information as to lls character. Henceforth Its course la elear. The lawyer |>aid It to a mer chant In the country and the latter Im mediately deposited it with the Citizens Bank, by which It had been refused only a short time before. As the bill seemed destined to remain In circulation the bank authorities de termined to take action. The bill was te talned end the attention of the treasury department was called to the matter. The result Is the advent of the secret service agi tit. The latter has Interviewed the bank petti* and some others who havc handled the bill. What he Is Interested In knowing is not where and by whom the < ounterfeit was originated, but how It eame to be continued In circulation bi ts.tple who knew ita character. The In vestigation may result In interesting de velopments later. Hall Hate to Mneon Via The < ratral off Georgia Hallway Account Mneon street Knlr. Tick* Is on sale from all points In Geor gia.
