Vol. XII. NY. 117 CONCOltl). N. C, SATURDAY OCTOBER 2 1897 , . SHO VING THE QUEER." 1 oKUicrfeltrs Worjilnff the Towns Around Charlotte Pass Good Imi tation ol the 3 and $10 Treasury oles and $1 Stlyer Certlficatrs. Char otte business men had better be on the lookout as to the $5 and 310 bills they take in these day. It seems that there ia an oran iz'd gang cf counterfeiters working in-the country towns around Char lotte. So far they have confined their work for the most part to up. per South Carolina, but, day by day they appear to be petting nearer this city. f-' For the past two or three weeks a number of $5 and $10 treasury cotes have been in circulation just across the line. These who have seen them say that they are almost a psrfect reproduction of the old treasury note. The color is yery defective but even the signature of "J Fount Tillman, register of the treasury," indicates the work of a skilled artist. This money first made its appearance in Atlanta about to months ago. An officer of the secret service go: on the trail of the counterfeiters and they left At lanta for parts unknown. The next time t his money was detected was in Greenwood, S. C. The merchants at that place took in a number of spurious bills. Toe handlers of it learned that the Greenwood peop e were on to their game and they again mysteriously disappeared. They next turned up at Green ville, S. 0., where they passed several hundied dollars of the $5 and $10 notes and a counterfeit $1 was also place! in circulation, it is supposed by these same people. The latter is a reproduction of the last silver certificate issued. Ia many respects it is a poor counterfeit but cn be-easily passed on unsua pecting people. The genuine bill has a half clad woman lying alnost at full length with her ltft hand upraised. At her back a boy is standing. The city of Washington lies in the back ground and the Washington monument is very prominent j The counterfeit bill U m most respects like this but rne grave blunder the counterfeiters made was in leaving the monumenn entirely out. In taking in this dt-nomination of paper money it will be well for our business men to look for the monument. The ;def?ct8 of the $5 . and; $10 notes are much less noticable. In fact no one would suspect for , one moment that these billa were .other than Uncta.SanVa issue. A close in i spectiori will' reyeal the fact "that the little red and white strings that are to be always found in the genu ine article are conspicuous by their absence. The lettering also Is a give away if closely obseryed. " The News has so far heard of none of this money in Charlotte but this warn ing will stand the merchants well in hand should these same. .men ..cross over in North Carolina. Charlotte News. : ; WAS IT A WILD CAT? Fire JLnile Town Bo8 Attacked Whflein tnc.Woods Friday KlBnt. Gaston and Brandon Means Will and Gus Archibald and Baron .Cook went opossum hunting Friday night, and while in the woods, they'had.an exciting experience. They were in No. 5 township near Mt Gilead church, ; when 4 their dogs treed semething, thought to be an opossum. - The young boys were joyous over their .luck" and'after Gaston Means had climed the little sappling on which was perched the strange animal, and as he began to shake the limb, the animal jumped and clawed him on the ear, cutting a small gash. When it fell to the ground it" attacked the other members of the party, and fright ened the dogs, which would not go near it. The boys made an un successful attempt to kill it. The animal was black, and was Just a size larger than the ordinary cat. It Was yery likely a catamounr. The young men kept up the hunt however, and did not get in untiLa o'clock this morning,' bringing with them two 'possums. . .. ; Mr. Kirkman and Family Here. ' Mr. Thomas Kirkman and family' arrived in the city Fiiday n'ght from Williamstcwn, Mass,, and will make Concord their future home.
