Passengers on a "Brooklyn" car yes
terday about noon ahuddered at the
narrow escape of a little colored girl
from bsing ground under the wheels
of the vehicle ia which they were
riding at Fourth and Harnett streets.
That ahe is living- to-day is due to the
nerve of Motorman Baxter Croom,
who without losing his head, stopped
the swiftly moving car in almost its
length and saved a human life.
The colored girl was about 13 years
of age and had atarted with a dinner
pail for some member of her family,
who was working at one of the lumber
mills. She started to run across the
track ahead of the approaching car,
when ahe stumbled and fell, the car
being close upon her. By a remark
able display of nerve Motorman Croom
stopped the car and the girl scampered
off before her name could be learned
by the street car employes, who de
aired to find out if she was hurt.

INTO ITS NEW DOME.
Murchison National Bank Occu
pies Handsome Building at
Front and Chesnut.
MAGNIFICENT OFFICES, ETC.
Second snd Third Floors of the Structure
Are Already LesBed Something of
the Popular Institution and
Its Manaxement.
For the first time yesterday the Mur
chison National Bank, its popular of
ficers and faithful clerks were "at
home" to their hundreds of friends
and patrons in their- handsome new
building, just completed on northeast
corner of Front and Chesnut streets.
The work of removing to the new
home was completed Monday after
banking hours, and the machinery of
the busy institution moved off at the
appointed hour for business yesterday
morning aa if nothing had happened
and without the slightest inconven
ience to depositors or others. To the
human eye, however, there was a vast
difference in environment, at least,
and hundreds who visited tbe new
building during the day voted it with
one accord one of the most handsome
and conveniently appointed banking
houses in the whole South.
The fixtures in the new bank are
perhaps without a parallel in the State
for beauty and convenience. They
were furnished by the H. M. Beutel
Manufacturing Company, of Atlanta,
and are of highly polished natural oak
with brass trimmings. The floors are
handsomely tiled, and everything is
rranged with a perfect view to light,
heat and ventilation.
Directly in 'front of the entrance to
the building is the teller's window.
To the right is that of the cashier and
to the left are two windows for the
book-keepers. To the extreme left is
v
NEW MURCHISON NATIONAL BANK BUILDING.
Situated avt Northeavst Corner of
the First Time
the collection window, and upon each
side in the lobby is every convenience
for depositors and others who have
business with the bank.
There is abundant room behind the
counters for tbe clerical force and a
large aky-light on the north aide of
the building pours down upon the
desks a flood of illumination, making
it extremely comfortable and con
venient for those who have to wrestle
with figures and checks and drafts,
day in and day out.
Passing down the aisle to the right
from the entrance, one comes to the
private office of the President, which
is very conveniently arranged in
every respect. Back of this office is
the Directors' room, and both are
handsomely furnished.
The Murchison building is three
atoriea In height and is made of white
pressed brick, with granite trimmings.
The roof ia of slate, trimmed with gal
vanized iron . The architect was Mr.
Kenneth M. Murchison, Jr., of New
York; supervisor, Mr. Chas. McMillen,
of Wilmington; contractor, Mr. W. E.
Glenn. A half-tone cut of the splendid
building ia presented in this issue of
the Star and its beauty speaka for
tself. The entire building is equipped
with hot water heating apparatus, elec
tric and gaa lights and all modern con
veniences. The first floor of the new building is
occupied by the bank with the excep
tion of a large room in the rear, which
is occupied by the First Church of
Chris Scientists. The offices on the
second floor have been rented to
Messr. Smith & Gilchrist, the Acme
Manufacturing Company, Dr. W. C.
Galloway, Dr. M. EL P. Clark and
R G. Grady, Esq. The third floor has
been leased by Stonewall, Clarendon
and Jefferson lodges, Knights of
Pythias. The entrance to the second
and third floors is on the Chesnut
street aide, dividing the banking rooms
and the rooms of the Christian Scien
tists. Dr. Clark will occupy the office
on the southeast corner. All . will
move from their present offices on or
before Oct. 1st.
The Murchison National Bank was
organized in March, 1899, wUh a capi
tal stock of $300,000, succeeding the
banking house of Murchison & Co.,
which had been in business since 1893.

since April, 1901, and has a surplus

board on Market street Sunday was
made in these columns yesterday.
Sheriff W. H. Coleman, of Richland
county, wrote Chief Furlong, in the
letter enclosing the warrant, that an

he committed grand larceny by taking
from the house of Marie Abney, at
which he boarded, a suit of clothes
valued at $25; an umbrella, a grip
and a number of articles of linen,
amounting to about $30. According
to the warrant Bernhart travels un
der the alias of John Doe. 8everal
grips, a trunk and other articles were
at the station for him when he was ar
rested and it was by these that the
identification was made. Bernhart
stoutly denies his guilt. From the
character of his baggage he appears to
be a bicycle repairer and machinist.
In the polica court yesterday, Jim
Townsend, a negro man, was arraigned
for throwing a stone at the departing

sionists Monday night. The stone

Justice Fowler reserved his decision
until 10 o'clock this morning
and Jones was re-committed to
jail. During the progress of the
trial, Cass Hil), a Sound negro who
stood in a crowd on the porch back of
the Justice's court room, was drunk

CASH AlsriD
The impression seems to be that I sell only for cash. It is true that the lowest spot cash
prices are marked In plain figures on all my arooas. it Is true that I do not swap new
foods for old. It Is true I do not sell to Tom, Dick and Harry on the "Installment
Ian." It is true that by not doing either or these two things I never have anything
second hand in my store, but it is not true that I sell only for cash; on tbe contrary, I
recognize tbe fact that the most desirable class of people are not always In a position to
pay casb, and while they do nor want to pay the extortionate prices charged by In
stallment booses, nor ran the risk of buying goods that have been used by somebody
else, they are willing to pay a reasonable rate of interest, and to accommodate this
class of customers, I will sell to any desirable person on terms suited to their conven
ience, adding a small amount to the spot
on au my gooas.
