• ' ■' r:i c. fiadv- fol-
•.••••n 1>:' his 1,200 sub
attention last spring, and who w’as
tl e organizer and founder of the com
pany, induced the Tennessean to enter
the company first as an investor and
then as a director. At that time J. G.
Robin was a director. It is related by
])ersons familiar with the affairs of
the Carnegie that soon after Cummins
was elected to the directorate and had
installed himself in offices adjoining
the banking room at the rear Robin
visited him one day and solicited a
private interview. Robin is said to
have told Cummins flatly and bluntly
th;'.t if he were not exceedingly cau
tious in protecting his interest he
would be robbed by Dickinson and
the laiter’s "clique.”
"If you are not a liar,” sternly ex
claimed, the Southerner, “you are cer
tainly a traitor, and in neither case
do 1 want to deal with you in any
V T.iacity, and especially as a business
associate. If you do not get out of
iny office immediately I will kick you
out.”
It was not long after this episode
before Robin was forced out of the
directoiy. so the narrative runs. He
was then said to have loans with the
company exceeding $200,000.
Settlement of these soon afterward
was forced, according to statements
of well informed persons today. W. L.
Sumjison. loan clerk, added the posi
tive assertion that Robin now has no
loan with the Carnegie, nor has he
1-f.d since his official connection with
the institution was severed. In this
connection it is recalled that the in-
vosugation of the Aetna Insurance
Company, p, Robin concern, by the
:tate insuitince department early in
December, revealed the fact that Rob
in had negotiated a characteristic
transaction with the Carnegie Trust,
involving $43S,000. To cover up this
ar.'oiint which he had taken from the
.'etna’s funds, Robin got $43,000 from
Xorthern Bank, giving the bank
a draft for that amount on the Carne
gie Trust Company, where he had no
funds. At that time Robin was ill at
homo. He telegraphed the Carnegie
telling 01 tha draft he had made and
raying Uiat to make this good he wa;^
^^enc!inrr to the bank a draft on the
Atlantic Xaticnal Bank of Providence.
R I,, where he had a large amount
on d^i-OL-it. It turned out that Robin
1 nd no iun.ls at the Providence bank,
and he was rr-oAiived immediately to
cover his loan with the Carnegie by
cei ositing secrities worth several
tiii:e.s ilie amount of the $43,000, it was
u-ti.ti d l.'v Carnegie officials.

’SquUe Barkley
And Col Hall
Uneasy lies the head of Col. Warren
Vines Hall. the pos-tmaster at
-Xorth Charlotte. Squire D. A. Bark-
l-'V is after this plum that is in Colonel
Hall’s pudding. The News understands
hat the race between these two good
republicans will be a hot one. The
looai organization, it is- said, is for
'.iiHiire Barkley. The North Charlotte
office is now a third class office and
I'ays about $1,000 a year .
Colonel Hall and ’Squire Barkley are
botli high in the ranks of the par-tie,
a:.d both have a good following, but
the ’Squire, tt .seems, has the largest
pull at present.
A YOUTHFUL SLEUTH
Pe'-er C.rincion, a six year old boy
I v^r.j in Hoboken, N. J„ who has
been a great aid to the New York
pohce in running down a desperate
b^nd cf Black Handers. The police
in a recent raid cn a grocery store
In Elizabeth street New York cap
tured twenty sjopects. Peter had
been kidnapped from his home and
v/ac net returned until a heavy ran-
eom had been paid his kidnappers.
For this reason he was brought over
to New York to view the twenty
suspects in headquarters, the police
hoping that he might possibly iden
tify one cf his kidnappers. The lit
tle boy was very nervous when he
wau placed before the ugly looking
suspects but he pointed out two in
a meek manner as the ones he
thought he had seen before, while in
captivity. The boy will be brought
before them again in the hopes of
oositive identity.
New Residences to Be Built
There is much building being done
and much more planned for the year.
Among those who are to build are:
Staten.
!\Ir. J. L. Staten will build very soon
a handsome residence on beyond Eliz
abeth College, near Mr. Leak Spenc
ers’ former home. Hunter and Gordon
are making the plans.
Knox.
Mr. M. G. Knox has bought a beauti
ful lot on Park Drive, near Elizabtli
College, on which be will build a bun
galow. The plans have been drawn
and show a building which will be an
ornament to that section.
McDonald.
Mr. John R. McDonald, vice presi
dent of the Charlotte Cotton Fibre

the corner of Park Drive and Fifth
streets at Elizabth College and will
at once erect an imposing two-story
modern house, which will occupy both
lots.
Pythian Orphange
Rev. Dr. P. R. Law has been getting
his airing w’hile convalescing by pur
chasing from the merchants furniture
o fall kinds, from kitchen to parlor,
for the new orphanage the Knights
of Pythias have built at Clayton, on a
valuable farm Just out of town. The
building Is new and its equipment
throghout will be equally so. Dr. Law
is the father of this Home for Py
thian Orphans, and feels a pardonable
pride in its completion in such com
fortable style. The state has good rea
son to feel a pride in its establishment
In her borders.
Dr. I^w has been a Pythian since
1888. He Joined the lodge at Lum-
berton, and on moving to Charlotte,
became a member of Rathbone lodge.
He is one of the oldest Pythians (not
