The most gigantic forgery scheme in Spartanburg police annals was un earthed this morning when em ployes in the office of Crews, Ligon and company , cotton brokers, dis covered that the office' had been burglarized and approximately 80 checks forged. The checks were tfcfcUlfcWrriDr to vnnous Indmdua!' and were given realism by means of a check protector. The checks Were for $850 and $950 each, it is believed by the police, who have in their possession 13 of the forged checks evidently left behind by the forger. The checks are on two banks of Spartanburg, the American National bank and the Central No tional bank. The thief entered the office by means of a key, and tore from a check book of the Central National, - , ! ' ' w from the American National bank Checks frtm 904 to 913. The 13 checks found were made on the check protector, and bore the names of different parties. Banks in nearby towns have been notified of the theft of the checks and the forgeries, and it is hopeJ that some of' them will be detected and will lead to the apprehension of the guilty party.

Johnstc n Ice and Fuel Company tha when the system began loaning 'bank checks from 462 to 601, and operations, after our bond sale in May, the Columbia bank, contraray to the general "policy suggested by the farm loan board to the presi dents of the federal land banks of the country, threw its doors wide open to receive applications, with the result that in a few weeks the executive committee of the bank, which must pass upon each applica tion in detail, was literally over whelmed with applications. "A jam followed, .which they have been struggling earnestly to break. From recent reports I am glad to think that they are beginning to see light This does not mean that ev ery individual who has made appli cation will be immediately served. .It does mean, however, that in every association in the district there will be some loans closed, and to the ex tent of the loans closed a measure of relief afforded to the communi ties. "I think I should say, in fairness to the officers of this bank, that I personally know that they have been exerting themselves to the very limit of their physical capacity, atid this has resulted in the Columbia bank closing more loans during Sep tember and October than any bank in the system, and while we have not yet received the November re port, I am. sure I am safe in sayir.g that there has been no let up in their endeavors."

Hoey returned yesterday from Raleigh where as at torney far the School Board of Forest City he argued the case on appeal to determine whether the board of alder ¬ men or the School Board of Forrest City will build the new school build ing. A bond issue was voted for a handsome building and after the sab of bonds, the aldermen refused to turn the money over to the School board to supervise the erection of the build ing. There is and Has been some feel ing between the two boards and when the aldermen refused to turn over the bond money to the school board, a restraining order was secured in which Judge Shaw held that the school board had a right to supervise the erection of the building. An ap peal was taken by the aldermen and a decision is expected shortly from the Supreme Court which will determ ine the board that will supervise tl construction. There seems to be no difference between the boards ss to the location or place of the building. Shelby Star. London, Dec 2.

GARRETT FLAYS G. O. P. RECORD Charges "Disgraceful Failure" During Extra Session. Washington, Nov. 30. The re cord of the republican party in the extra session of Congress is de scribed as a "disgraceful failure," by Representative Garrett, of Tennes see, acting democratic leader of the house, in a statement to appear !n The Congressional Record tomorrow. Although the Congress is not in-. ses of n, ttNfrtt 1 record to accommodate the many. members who desire to "revice and extend" their remarks of the 4 last few days of the session. ' Mr. Garrett in his statement, calls the tax law a "makeshift thing for. which none should care to talw responsibility." Replying to the republican claims of achievement, made by Repress tative Mondell, of Wyoming, the party's house leader, Mr. Garret: says that "all of the legislation that was good was non-partisian, present ed as such, discussed as such and passed as such " "Upon those matters of vital con cern to the country, upon those which the party in power had promised relief," he continues "there has been a disgraceful, a dis tressing, and. what is destined to be pf that party, a disastrous failure." Mr. Garrett eniotes the words of Senator Penrose, republican, Penn sylvania, made in connection with the consideration of the tax bill in the senate, that the measure did not place the tax system of the country on a stable basis, and inquires when the country can expect something of a permanent nature. "In their clamor for an extra scs sion in 1819," says, "for the al leged purpose of tax revision; in their delay of two years and eight months in attempting such revision; jn the crassness and bunglinf appa rent in the making of the thing just passed, the republican party is con fronted with two alternatives: "If their clamor for the extra s sion of mil, and their failure after having it to take action, Was in or der that the people might become rebellious and resentful under the war tax burden, and so vote fo r a change in executive administration, then the party stands i convicted of resorting to methods violative of sll the ethics of statesmanship and they should be turned from power. "If, on the other hand, they hnvs done their best; if they, have believ ed themselves to be honest and conscientious; if they have really tried to provide a tax measure which will give relief to business and to distribute taxation equitab'y, then they stand convicted of stup'd tty and utter incompetency." THROUGH LINCOLNTON IS SHORTEST ROUTE The Highway from Charlotte to Blowing Rock, if routed by Lincolnton to Morganton via the three counties comers would be considerably shorter according to those who have made cal culations. There is now a sandclay road in Lincoln County from Lincoln- ton to Ben Sain's place in North Brook and Lincoln County is now having the stretch of road surveyed from Mr. Bain's to the Burke line, a distance of 2 1-2 .miles, and when this road is finished to the Burke line, and Burke connects with it the shortest route from Charlotte to Blowing Rock whicn is by way of Lincolnton and Morgan- ton will be open to the public. Lincoln will soon have the remaining z 1-2 miles in shape and it will then remain tor Burke county to .take steps to put. the road through that County, The matter is being discussed in the Mor ganton News-Herald. That newspaper says: "Recently there has been mucl said about the building of a highway 'from Charlotte to Blowing Rock by why of Maiden, Newton, Hickory, Lenoir. There is no objection from this quar ter to the building of that road.. We want to see all the good roads built that can possibly be constructed, con necting every nook and corner of our great State. "In speaking, however, of a iwuie from Charlotte to Blowing Reck the Shortest and most practical way seems to have been quite overlooked. Pos sibly that is because few people re alise that it is eleven miles nearer from Charlotte to Lenoir by wsy of Lincolnton and Morganton than by Newton, Hickory, etc, The people of Lincolnton re lster ested in this route and we are sure that Morganton citizens will be glad to co-operate with them to put it through. "Evidencing the interest in Lincoln ton the Iditor of The News-Herald has received a letter from the secre tary of the Lincolnton Chambii. of FARMER'S UNION MEETING ON DEC. 17TH. There will be a meeting of the F. E. & C. J. of A. held at the Farmer's Union Warehouse, Lincolnton, N. C, on the 17th day of December, 1921 at 2:00 p m. At the last County meeting there was a Resolution passed instructing the secretary to eive notice to the lo cals through the County papers, to hold meetings prycr to the 17th and appoint delegates to said meeting Among important matters that will be considered, will be: the election of County Officers of the union, for the coming year, and the changes ,made in the By-Laws by the recent 3tate Convention, which changes it is necessary that each local understand.

See. thJWaUMlfo in whiefi" he Says mii'i-l 'I have just had a talk with our road Superintendent and he states that we now have a road within two mile of the Burke line and ihat I4nco! county could easily fill in that gap. "He has been over this proposed route and says that the plan is per fectly feasible. The distance to Mor ganton from Lincolnton would be re duced 11 miles according to his speed ometer, as compared with the rout via Maiden, Newton and Hickory. You will agree with me that this will be a considerable saving and Colonel Har ris, of The Observer, ought to be de lighted on account of shortening the route to Blowing Rock. "It seems from this conversation with the road superintendent that Burke also has a road leading south that would connect with ours with the exception of one township." COME! COME! COME! To the Fair!

The Morganton News-Herald is dis posed to wonder why the people of Charlotte should center their attention on the old route to Lenoir, when, "by comimc to Morganton through Lin colnton, they will save a distance of 11 miles." This appears to be true, but tho old-established lines have been up to this time the only roads in a good and an inviting condition. Howwer, the road recently built from Lenoir to Morganton, a distance of only 15 miles, has altered the situation somewhat and no doubt when all roads tre good a considerable amount of travel will go through Morganton. The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce is boosting the new route and has se cured the active interest of Morgan- ton. There is at present a gap of two miles in the Lincoln section of high way to Morgwiton that needs filling in jmd then the route by Morganton may prove an inviting proposition. (Note: The Lincoln Commissioners have already ordered the stretch in sLincoin surveyed and put in good shape, thus completing a good road to theurke iinc.
