Kuck's store on Water street, and; wanted to buy him out. He made such a liberal offer that Mr: Kuc's took him at his, bargain. The swindler showed a pile of United States bonds and said the "bank was closed and he would, get out his money and close the transaction next morning. In the mean time he employed Mr. Frank P. Lamb, the clerk, to remain with him at a sal ary of $80 per month." He nanaged to borrow $30 from Mr. Lamb. A stranger who was hunting work was also em ployed by the new proprietor arid the swindler was slick enough to get $50 out-of him; The swindler, was a slick duck, well idressed and very plausable; but as he failed to come back in the evening, the people he swindled began to suspect that something was wrong. It was ascertained ' that he had left on the southern train and telegrams elicited the! information that he was at Sumter, S.'C, Friday night. An effort will be made to affect his arrest.

The Messenger is gratified to note the following from the Wilson News of Friday: ' The stockholders of the First Na tional bank of Wilson were in annual session last Tuesday A full attend ance of the stockholders was present and much interest manifested by rea son of the healthy condition of the bank as indicated , by the statement rendered by Cashier Warren. The Ar ticles of Association were amended in creasing the number of directors to seven, and the annual election of direc tors resulted as follows, jonn r-. Bruton, F. W. Barnes, wiine uaniei, Jonas Oejttinger, W. J. Davis, W. E. Warren and George Hackney. Mr. F. W. Barnes, who so long and ably served the bank as president, gave notice that he could not accept another term. Thereupon the meeting adopted resolutions expressing their apprecia tion of his services and regretting his decision in the matter, Thei Times says further of the meet ing: " v After the adjournment of the stock holders the newly elected directors qualified as such, and went into the election of officers of the bank, result ing as follows: For. president, Colonel John F. Bruton; for" vice president,. Mr. F. W. Barnes; cashier, W. E. Warren; tellen Frank Rountree, and collector, W; T. Warren. The- resolutions adopted attest the con fidence and regard the administration of the First National bank feel toward Its former president, Mr. F. W. uarnes, and appreciation for the present solid condition of the bank, due in a, large measure to his unceasing activity in its behalf. It is- the oldest bank m our town, and for twenty orie years under his guidance not only has successfully weathered the many trying financial conditions Hhat have swept over this country during that time, but has earn ed money each successive year since it3 organization. Though the directors ac cepted with great reluctance the resig nation or .Mr. .Barnes, iney nave piaueu the mantle upon the shoulders of a man who though young in years has successfully grappled' and mastered every problem so far confronting him. For no man possibly has risen faster, or so fastened Vhimself upon the affections of the people of this community, than Colonel Bruton. He came to wnson in the fall of 1881 fresh from college, ana in '83 was chosen superintendent of the Wilson Graded school, which institution was known all over the state as one of the best of its kind, and which afford ed a pattern for similar schools that soon sprang Into existence partly on account of the success attained by this one. He resigned from this position to study law, returning from Chapel Hill when he finished, to follow his chosen professori. In 1889 he organized the Wilson Light inrantry, ana tne nexi year was unanimously chosen lieuten ant colonel of the Third regiment, to which his company was attached, and since then has been chosen" colonel. This is the best regiment in the state, guard, and military judges of ex perience say it Is mainly due to Col onel Bruton's efforts. In 1894 he was elected mayo of Wilson. The town has been well officered, admirably gov erned, and the work so systematized that there is no hitch whatever in any department, but all working smoothly under the direction of the mayor. The finances of the town are in a splendid condition, the Interest being paid promptly on its bonded indebtedness, andfthe running. expenses reduced each year on account of a larger use of water and electric lights, in ix6, he was chosen director of the First Na tional, and upon Mr. Barnes' request that he be allowed to retire, the pre eminent ability of Colonel Bruton was again recognized, and the directors lost no time in choqsmg him for this Im portant place. We mention the above to show that no mistake has been made in the selec tion, for in whatever he has undertaken he has risen to the top of the. ladder. Therefore it is necessary for us to pay that this institution : will retain the patronage and confidence of the people of this community in the future as in the past, and that it will be among the first to' promote the material prosperity of our town and county. Yesterday COlonel Bruton who has been mayor of our city for the past few .years resigned. ...... His resignation being accepted Alder man P. a. ueans was elected mayor. Mr. J. A- Clark was elected alderman from the sepond ward to take Mr. Dean's place and Mr. Geo. Hackney was made mayor pro tem. Aldermen Hackney and Cozart and Clerk Moore were appointed to draft resolutions of regret as to Mr. Bruton's resignation. ;. The ChurchM Today. WHITE. - RevV J. T.

A forger Arrested. M White Man Caught Passing Forged Checks-He Confessed Bis Gnilt He had an Assumed Name but Turns Out to be John R. Hicks, a Noted Forger. Last night about 8:30 o'clock, Mr. W. A. Farriss, of the Palace Bakery, saw a man 'near his store on Second and Market streets, whom he recognized as John R. Hicks, formerly of Hender son, where Mr. Farriss once resided. He saw him go into the Bonitz hotel, so Mr. Farriss saw Mr. Bonitz and told him he must watch out for Hicks, as he was a noted forger and would no doubt try to pass forged checks. Mr. Bonitz posted his clerk, and sure enough Hicks did try to get Mr. Bonitz to cash a check for him. Mr. Bonitz told him he would see about It later.-Hicks then got Mr. Dick Hines, the clerk, to go with him down town, to Identify him so he could get a check cashed. Mr. Hines went with him .to the saloon of Mr. Cox, on Princess and Water streets. In the meantime -Mr. Bonitz telephoned to the city, hall and notified the : chief of police about the forger. Chief John R. Melton and Sergeant R. F. Gore immediately came down and got on track of Hicks. He had tried to get a check for $15. cashed in Mr.' Cox's place, but Mr. Cox had been given the wink. Chief Melton and Ser geant' Gore saw Hicks go into Mr. M. D. Croom's place of business where he tried to get another check cashed. They "then shadowed him as, he came up town and went down Front street. They followed him to Front and Mar ket streets and saw him try to get a check cashed in Mr. C. S. Garrell's place of business, near . the market. Chief Melton then arrested the man. The arrest was made at 11 o'clock last nipht. . Hicks acted very coolly and assured the chief that he was all right and he would take him to the man who signed the checks and prove everything was straight. He then led the chief down to Water street and nearly to Mr. Cox's saloon, when Chief Melton asked him howmuch further he had to go to see the check signer. Hicks replied, "Do you want me to tell the truth?" He was told to do as he liked and he then said he had forged the checks himself. Hicks was carried to the city hall and on his person he had a pocketbook containing various papers, checks and money. He had $22.05 in cash in several pockets. Among the checks were three for $5, one for $8 and one for $7 on the National Bank, of Wilmington. All the' check were signed D. W Bliss, in a good hand. There was also a check for $5 on a Bank of Wayne check, but the name Goldsboro was scratched out and "Lynchburg, Va.," written over it. The word Wayne was also' scratched out and "The Commercial Bank" written over it. This check was signed by a name which: we could hot decipher. He also had a check for $12.38 on the Na tional Bank of Raleigh, signed J. J. Long. He had a check book of the Na tional Bank of Wilmington and eleven checks had been. tcVn from the stubs. In Hicks' effects was . found a re ceipt for a gold watch pawned wlth T. C. Miller, but he said he was here last year: aij that he had redeemed the watch. ' It was ascertained that Hicks had a valise at the Bonitz house and Chief Melton sent and got it. Hicks had reg istered at the hotel in the morning as "R. F. Lee, Raleigh, N. C." He, how ever, acknowledged that his name was John R. Hicks. His valise contained letters and good clothing. Among his letters was one from Raleigh to R. F. Lee, signed D. Tillett. A Messenger reporter saw Hicks at the . city hall and he owned that he filled out the checks and signed them himself. He said he had no money and was desperate. He said he had gotten $15 on bogus checks but declined to say upon whom he had passed them. He gave his age as 28 years, arid later when he was sent over to jail he was measured and weighed. His heighth is five feet ten inches and his weight 153 pounds. He wears a black mous tache, and was neatly dressed. He stated to The Messenger representative that he had a wife and two children and that he knew his trouble Twould kill his wife. He declared thajt he would kill himself if he had anything to do it with. He also said he did not care what was done with him, as he had had so much trouble. It is said Hicks has served a term in the penitentiary for forgery, bur he de' nied this. It is known, how ever, that he was in trouble at Henderson fourteen yeara; ago tor forgery, that he also got into trouble for the same cause in Kentuckv and about a. year ago in Asheville he yas in trouble for forgery. He will have a hearing before the mayor tomorrow at 12 o'clock.5 TO CVHJH A COLD IN OJSK DAT Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. 25c.

Talking of the Proposed Consolidation of the Koads In the Atlantic Coast Line System. ' . , The Charleston News and Courier "of Friday, says: "There was some. talk in railroad cir cles here yesterday over the proposi tion to consolidate all of the roads operated and known as the Atlantic Loast line into one system. It is not commonly known outside of the pro fession that "Atlantac Coast Line" Is merely aname, and that the system which It represents is merely composed of a number of roads, each with a large individual existence that have been worked together for their mutual good. For instance, the Northeastern road, running between this city and Florence has and has always had its own presi dent and other officers, "and the same c true o the various other lines.- Mr Walters, is president of the Atlantic Coast Line, while Mr. Warren G Elliott, of Wilmington, and Major C. P. Gf dsden. of this city, are the president? of most of the individual roads. "It is stated in the dispatches sent out from Columbia that the railroad commissioners of the state, together with the officials of the Atlantic Coas Line, are agitating the consolidate, matter, and that the scheme will bf carried out " if the consolidation car legally take place under the-new con stitution of the state. It is not exactlv clear what objections it is feared wir be raised to it; the only one that ha suggested itself to the profession her is 'that competing lines cannot b owned and controlled by one and th same company.. This can scarcely b true, however, as it will be no. mor. illegal for the roads to be operate under an arrangement. such, as hov exists. -At the present time the Atlan tic Coast L'fie is in all essential par ticulars orfe. system, and it seems to b absurd'-to6 tliscuss the propriety o giving the company a legal statu whieh it has had for practical purpose for many years.. If the individual lin--systerrf-'teMone away with it will hav a material influence upon the rates ou' of Charleston to the entire Pee Dee sec tion of the state."
