BANK INSURANCE IDEA

:
A WIDESPREAD SENTIMENT IS
8H0WN IN THE MATTER.
DEPARTMENT IS CAUTIOUS
Rldgely Stands Ready to Act upon
the Advice of the Attorney
General.
Washington, Jan. 3.—The sentiment
In favor of providing some form of In-
surance for National bank depositors
seems to be spreading with such rap-
idity as to Indicate that before long
National banks in all parts of the coun-
try will be clamoring for the privilege
of instituting it. The predicament of
National bankers in Oklahoma, as well
as the sharp shrinkage of deposits,
seems to have served as a warning
to the National bankers in a number
of other States; that is, they fear the
example of Oklahoma in requiring
State banks to institute a system of
Insurance will be followed by a num-
ber of other Southern and Western
States. The plan also seems tq have
advocates among bankers, who have
less reason to fear such competition
in the near future.
In anticipation of this situation, but
piore particularly to restore confidence
in the banks, National bankers in a
number of States have begun to seek
signers to a plan, or agreement, which
they hope the Controller will sanction
under the warrant of existing law. If
one may judge from the number of let-
ters of inquiry that have reached the
Treasury within the last few days, the
agitation seems to have made consid-
erable headway, for not only have t
letters come in large numbers, but
from nearly every State in the Union.
The plan is for at least $5000 Na-
tional banks to enter into a voluntary
arrangement for a sort of sinking fund
to be held and disbursed, as may be
required, by the Government.
Prominent Minister Dead.
Austin: Rev. Dr. Josephus John-
son, pastor of the Southern Presby-
terian Church, and one of the best
known Presbyterian ministers of Tex-
as, died here Thursday at 2:30 o'clock
at the Seton Infirmary. He had been
in poor health for thirty years, but
clung to life with wonderful vitality.
For the past week his death has been
hourly expected. Dr. Johnson was fif-
ty-nine years old on December 3 last.
He was born at Water Valley, Miss.,
and was educated at the University of
Mississippi and the Columbia Theo-
logical Seminary at Columbia, S. C.
He came to Texas in 1872, and was
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Victoria from 1872 until
1905, when he became pastor of the
Free Presbyterian Church In Austin,
succeeding Dr. R. K, Smoot, deceased.
For twenty years he was stated clerk
of the Synod, one of the principal
places of the church in Texas. His
wife died about thirty years ago, after
being married to him five years. Dr.
Johnson did not marry again. His
surviving relatives are a half uncle,
Angus Johnson of Abilene, now 100
years of age and a half brother and a
half sister in Florida.
While going through a fence while
out hunting Marvin Lynch was killed
by the accidental discharge of both
barrels of a shotgun near his home in
Kingsbury. He was sixteen years old,
the son of Gus Lynch, a prominent
merchant. ;
Plenty of Work.
Pittsburg: Pa.: It is expected that
fully 7000 ovens in the H. C. Frick
Coke Company in Connellsville and
the lower Connellsville region, will be
put in operation again within a few
days. Owing to the large number of
foreigners who have returned to their
native lands since the coke plants
closed some weeks ago, it is believed
that the operators will have a great
deal of trouble in securing enough
workmen.
Public Debt Statement.
Washington: The monthly state-
ment shows that at the close of busi-
ness on December 31, 1907, the debt,
less cash in the Treasury, amounted to
$884,030,831, which Is an Increase for
the month of $9,550,992. The month-
ly statement of the Government re
celpts and expenditures shows that
for the month of December, 1907, the
receipts were $47,283,825 and the ex
pendltures $55,818,873, leaving a deil
clt for the month of $8,535,000.
Ei
First Day of Prohibition Is Featured
by Court Order.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2.—The moat nota-
ble feauire of the first day of prohi-
bition In Georgia was the refusal of
Judge W. P. Newman, In the United
States Circuit Court, to grant an in-
junction pending litigation which
would prevent the putting into efTect
of the prohibition law. Papers In the
case were filed late Tuesday on be-
half of two breweries, one In Chatta-
nooga, Tenn., and the other in Cincin-
nati, Ohio. Judge Newman filed a
memorandum reading as follows:
"After careful consideration an in-
junctlonfl pendente lite, will not be
granted. This being true, it 1# unnec-
essary to call upon the defendants (9
show cause."
The lawyers for the plaintiffs In the
case told the Associated Press that
the decision of Judge Newman did not
have the Effect of throwing the case
out of court, but that it would come
up In the^ regular order of business,
and it is expected that it will be ready
for trial in two months.
In the meantime prohibition Is in ef-
fect in every dictshrdluetaetaoinetao
feet in every district in Georgia.
Notwithstanding predictions that the
enforcement of the law on the first
day of the year, which is a recognized
holiday in all parts of the State, would
bring about disturbances, there was
not the slightest disorder.
Incejndiary Is Foiled.
Rusk: Between 12 and 1 o'clock
Wednesday night an effort was made
to burn Freedman Bros.' store, situat-
ed on the west side of the court house
square. Oil .had been poured on the
back door oUfslde and then fired. Two
young men returning from a party dis-
covered the fire before it had burned
through the door and extinguished it.
Had the fire once gotten inside the
building it would probably have been
impossible to save anything in the
block.

Chicago: Piledical science is soon
to accomplish the transfer of sound

of healthy or(;ans for the diseased

Don't lose an opportunity to talk for

This is the monitih to plant a few
good Union trees in all the vacant

The fact of this year being a politi-

It Is a good time to pick out a nice

a chance to be "one of the men," so
that when you are out of the game,
he will know what t^do with himself,

given only a moment at once. If this
were your last moment, you would use
lit for some sane purpose. It may bo
your last. One of these days it will
be your last.

FARMER8' COMMON
We farmers nee«^ more corporation!
not fewer. Wo need well managed «o-
operatlve companies through which
we can buy together and sell together.
We know that we have got to work
out our own salvation along these
Ines—that no one el3e will do It for
us. We have learned anew to rely
upon ourselves and not upon the high.-
falutlng yawp of politicians and gra/t-
rs whose only object is to farm tho
farmers.
We are death on unjust extortion,
special privileges end wildcat finan-
cing; but we support illegitimate busi-
ness, uphold honest labor, favor well
managed capital. We oppose railroad
favoritism, but we approve railroad
development. We want good trans-
portation service and are willing to
pay a fair price for It
We are not anarchists, nor extrem-
ists. We recognize the real rights of
labor and capital; we favor their
proper uise, not their abuse. We real-
ize that humanity is not perfect, and
that we must all work together for
•still better things. In a word, wo
farmers are sensible American cit-
zens, mindful of others' rights, as well
as of oru own. "And don't you for-
get it"—Farm and Fireside.
When we speak of the farmer and
the merchant as neing business ene-
mies we on't mean that they are neo-
essarily at enmity with each other as
persons. We mean that the law of
self-interest puts them In opposition
to each other in matters of trade. The
merchant must buy what the farmer
has to sell, and *the cheaper he buys
it the more he has left after buying
it The farmer must buy the things
that the merchant has to sell, and the
cheaper he buys them the prouder he
is when he gets home and his wife,
while unwrapping the bundles asks,
What did you give for this?" and
"What was the price of thait?"—Farm
Journal.
The National organization Is all
right in its place. It keeps the life-
blood flowing all through the system;
It enables people in one part of the
country to know what those in other
parts are doing, and all that, but after
all, it is the local Union that will do
you the service for which the Union
was originally organized. Put your
time and thought into the things that
can be worked out through the local
Union if you would be a benefactor
to your fellowman.
The mule has made the South what
it Is, and there has never been a tima
when good mules were not in good de-
mand. Plant plenty of mules. They
are as easy and as cheap to raise as
calves. Of course, mares cost more
than cows, and they do not give milk,
but on the other hand brood mares
are all the better for light work up to
the moment of foaling.
You can not legislate prosperity
upon (the thriftless nor can you make
safe and provident the spendthrift
nor beforehanded the lazy. The Union
has little to offer these; It is for those
who are willing to do things that tho
Union was created. It can help you to
secure the reward of your labors, tut
there its labors must cease in that
direction.
While you are planting cotton re-
member that ten million bales biing
more money than thirteen million
bales. "This is a condition and not a
theory" that confronts the unpaid mil-
lions of Women and children who raise
cotton during the days when it takes
fifteen hours to make a hand.
The recent fire that destroyed the
free seeds that the Congressmen had
stored away (free ait the expense of
the public) would have been a good
joke had the Congressmen not taken
another bunch of the public's hard-
earned dollars and bought a new sup-
ply of "free" seed to send out to tho
gullible public.
While you are casting about for
some nice factory, geit your neighbors
together and start a little cannery for
tho neighborhood. You won't have to
throw away any "surplus fruit and
vegetables" then. It will be like Tom-
my's apple. Tommy said there bea'nt
any core to a good apple; so there
bea'nt any surplus to a crop of beans,
peaB, roasting ears, etc., where there
is a cannery In the neighborhood.
The matter of real importance is
for the local Union to keep solidly at
work along all the lines that will lead
to better crops, better stock, better
poultry, better flocks and better mar-
kets. These things have many rami-
fications, and along these lines all of
the time and talent of the community
may be profitably consumed.
