*p??? I Sl'URlOCS -NOTE ALAiiMS. I Widespread Warnings to Publv Wore Issned by Chief of the Secret Service Flynn. Washington, Dec. 30.?Alarm seized officials of the United States Treasury today upon the discovery of a re- j markable counterfeit five-dollar silver | certificate, the most dangerous imita- ' tion of American currency since the j famous "Monroe head" one-usmJnv j dollar bill, which was suppressed in \ 1908. So nearly perfect is this spurious rote that officials of the cash roo.. . of the treasury declared it was genuine and unswervingly held to their belief that it was a washed n 3te. Her- I man Moran, assistant chief of the! United States Secret Service, detected ! Blight variations from the original, however and stamped it unquaiiacdlv as a counterfeit. The note is 30 dangerous that it was brought to the personal ittention of Secretary M&cVeagh and Robert 0. Bailey, Assistart Secretary of the treasury. In the case of the "Monroe head" bill, the whole issue was withdrawn from circulation because of the dangerous imitation. It will hardly be practicable to resort to this precaution in connection with the new coun-; tarfeit because the five-dollar "Indian head" silver certificate is so generally t in circulation. The counterfeit ^as discovered in New York City where two specimens were obtained by the Secret Service. Treasury officials have undertaken to investigate the extent of its circulation ! "which as yet is unknown. Widespread warning to the public { were issued today by W. J. Flynn, chief of the Secret Service. The im- ; perfections of the note are detectable only to the eye of an expert with the aid of glass. Apparently it is printed on two pieces of paper between which silk threads have been distributed.! The number of the specimen which ! reached Secret Service headquarters is E. 69421159. CHECK FOR $1,074,m Payment for Postal Savings Bonds Made by Hitchcock.

Over four-fifths of the amount of the 1 last issue of bonds are in the registered form. Postoffice officials state that this indicated they have been pur- j chased for permanent investment. Depositors in Ohio took $194,440 worth of the last bond issue, or nearly one-fifth of the total. New York, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Michigan depositors applied in each case for from $40,000 to $50,000 worth o" the bonds. The reports to the postoffice indicate a heavy increase in the number of bonds subscribed for in these States, and in California, Illinois and Indiana. The bonds, drawing 2 1-2 per cent., are open to purchase only by deposi- ' tors in the postal banks. CHICOKA WILL NOT BE MOYED. Greenville Will Remain the Home of Presbyterian School for Girls. Chicora college will remain at j Greenville. This was decided Tuesday j when the hoard of trustees of that iiL-1 stitution met in Columbia at the Co-, lumbia Theological seminary <td can- j vass the vote of the seven presbyteries of South Carolina synod. . This ends, at least for the present, j the proposed plan to move Chicora to, Laurens. The matter has been before the Presbyterians this State for some time. Last fall it was decided to keep the college at Greenville, after which the matter was reopened and the vote of presbyteries taken. The meeting Tuesday was to receive these votes and for the board to take such action as it saw fit.

The old desk was taken out and turned over to Private Secretary Aull, who will use it. The governor also purchased a lounge for his office instead of the one formerly there, j which is said to have been bought byGen. Hampton when governor.

(iives Different Version of Delivery of Children to Brother. To the Editor of the News and Courier: I have seen the story published in Thursday's Record and Friday's News and Courier with reference to the Tillman children. I have made it my rule to practice law in the courts and not in the newspapers, and it is my habit to ignore newspaper articles which reflect on me or my family. But this story is so full of error and falsehood that I can not allow it to go uncorrected. The Tillman family has too many friends in South Carolina and our affection for these little children is such that it would be unfair to allow them to be used as an instrument with which to put us in a false light. From the beginning the desire of the Tillmans has been to avoid as far as possible all publicity or notoriety in this matter. The young lives of these children have already been crossed by too many shadows for them now to be made the target of misrepresentation or slander. When Mr. DePass, representing Mrs. Dugas, and I, representing my brother, had our conference in Columbia about ten days ago, he expressed the fear that the children would refuse to go to Trenton and would create a scene. In view of the sworn statement of Mrs. Dugas that she had not taught the children to hate their father or his people L thought the fears of Mr. DePass unfounded and told him so. Shortly afx ^ - J ^ T r. 1 rvf f frAm ttl waius i- lCUCltCU a, ltl.LV/l nuiu i^vPass & DePass stating that the children would be sent to Penn's drug store, in.. Edgefield, at 10.30 on the morning of the 26th of December. I then suspected that it was the intention to give the anticipated "scene" as public a setting as possible and have it written up in graphic style for the purpose of creating sentiment against the decision of the court in al. lowing the children to spend a part of the time with their father in Senator Tillman's home at Trenton. For the sake of these innocent little children, who can not protect themselves from the designs of other people, I wrote at once to DePass & DePass protesting against the choice of such a. Dublic place and asking for the sake of peace and decency that the children -be sent to some other place and also that they designate any private residence in Edgefield, or if preferable, we would send a mutual friend out to Edgewood to get the children in a quiet, decent way. If I had my files at Greenwood I would like to publish this letter, because it would show our attitude in the matter better than anything that can now be said. lA^-f aw T VkO/3 r? r\ ronlv 1U l/liiy 1CLIC1 X U?u nau uw ? vj/?^ from DePass & DePass or any one else. Consequently my brother and I went yesterday morning to the appointed place?Penn's -ir:ig store, on the square at Edgefield. The children were brought there and we received them from the negro nurse, who accompanied them. Neither child made any resistance, and the older child did not cry at all. The younger one cried for her nurse to accompany her to Trenton (as was natural.) Ar r.o no time did either one of the children cry for their mother but the younger one was crying- for her nurse, who was with her all the time. Before we had driven two hundred yards she had stopped crying and we drove on to Trenton. There were several people in and around the drug store at the appointed time, hut I have 210 way of knowing if they were there to see the transfer of the children. Certainly we had told no one to be there nor had we made public where or when the children were to be delivered to us . My brother naturally sent no presents to the home of his former wife. He has been told by her that he can not go there even to see his children when they are sick and whether .or not he shall have that privilege is now before the supreme court. His Christmas gifts and manner of giving are private matters, with which the public has no concern, but it will not be amiss to add that the children are now at his home in Trenton and that he and his family are enjoying their presence there. It .has been a long time since I have seen three happier childdren than these li*tte girls and my own little child. It would be hard for a stranger to believe that it has been three years since they were together at their grandfather's. The public knows ere this that we have been as patient as possible in this matter, and out of feeling for these little innocent girls we have allowed to go unanswered many of the falsehoods which have been published in this case. But fair-minded people must be disgusted with this latest attempt to stage so sacred a thing as a child's love for its parent to create a maudlin sympathy whei^^?tnot accomplish aiir exploiting of r : these little children. The supreme court has decided tliisi 1 I case and has exercised much wisdom < j in its decision, it is the intention of my brother to live up to the letter and spirit of that decree, but I cannot al; low any one to put him in an absolutely false light without entering a vigorous denial, and it might as well be understood once and for all that nom of us intend to allow these little girls * * - J 4- H rv nOTL'nO 1 Q n I ; CO D6 lltJU UI1 UI illtlUC tilC pan HU All c*** : i unfair attempt to make people believe that they would naturally hate their paternal relations.
