Williamston, Sept. 18—A citizen of Martin county brought to the Farmers and Merchants’ Bank a nail keg containing $3,000 in cash and deposited the same. He rode in town with a gun across the keg for safety’s sake. When asked about this unique ‘bank,’ he stated that it had been sitting on his porch at home for months because no burglar would ever think of looking into a keg out on the porch for money; that if he had carried it in the house someone might have located it there.
