Indiana Banks.

In reference to the meeting Of the Direc-
tors of the new State Bank, at indianapolis,
the Cincinnati Gazette makes the following
comments on the determination of the Bank
to continue specie payments. They consider
themselves able to do this, and think it bet
ter to make the necessary sacrifices rather
than run the risk If losing their charter.
''But in deciding upon a course, due regard
should be given to the views of the people of
the State. IS by paying specie they must
cripple their customers and withhold entire
ly the facilities required to move the produce
of the State, they might involve themselves
in the same difficulties that crushed the New
York banks. The latter stood firm until by
the system ofcontraction adopted they array
ed their customers against them. Note hold
ers could not break the New York banks, be-
cause collectively their specie was fifty per
cent greater than their circulation, but as
soon as depositors joined in the run the banks
were forced to yield. No bank can stand up
against public opinion. 1t is obviously i'm
portant, therefore, that the interests of the
public should be taken into account in con-
nection with this matter; and the first ques-
ton to be decided should be, whether sus-
pension would or would not be beneficial to
the public, in view of the peculiar condition
Of the monetary affairs of the country, at the
present time" fin trying topreserve their
charter by fulfilling its conditions, they
should turn public opinion against them,
which might so sway the Legislature and the
Courts that one would vote and the other
sustain repeal Of the charter The bond
holders would be in as bad a condition, as IL
forfeited by suspension. 81

We Wish to say to Every Person

Who reads this that there is article known DR.
SANFoRD's ISvIGoRAToR, or LIVER REMEDY, which
can he relied certain TO liver complaint in
any OF its forms, such Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and
other complaints, described in another col
umn, besides which, it is Of the greatest prepara-
tons for consumption, taken in early stages,
that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has proven,
that diseases Of the lungs generally the first
cause of consumption, but debtated system. caus-
ed by the improper action OF the liver, reduces the
power Of the lungs to resist throw off diseases
ed by cold and ir aon, leaving the lungs Mt the
cy OF one disease because the liver has incapaciaed
them from performing their proper action Of throwing
ofseased matter caused by cold thus to prevent
sumption, cure the liver and keep the system strong
enough to throw off slight diseases Of the lungs.
There is not in the world better liver remedy, or
for debilitated system, than Dr. sanfords Ivig

The CROPS IN ENGLAND and through
out Europe were never more abundant,
nor were ever harvested in better condi-
ton. Our fellow citizen, P. G.. ORiley,
Esq, who has just retured from visit
to England and Ireland assures us that
the harvest in the British Islands has
not been equalled in quantity and quality
in twenty years. The London Econo-
mist confirms these representations and
says the English wheat crop is remarka-
bly, good, of. unusual fine quality, and
the weight fully up to GA pounds per
bushel. In Kent and Essex the produce
is from 46 to Sc bushels per acre. In
the midland districts the yield is Al
bushels to the acre. In the north, north
east and Western districts the growth
may be considered the best on record
Hence it would be no exaggeration to
tate that England has produced nearly
E not quite, eight million more bushel:
his year than in 1856.
The Economist does not anticipate any
great reduction of price in consequence,
of this great product, but says there
will probably be proportional increas'
in consumption. Bet there is no reason
to expect range in prizes that will
justify large shipments Of breadstuff
from this country. unless prices here fal
good deal below the present views Q
our farmers.

are so nearly equal that Chase's majori-

DEATH OF GENERAL JAMES HAMILTON

Intelligence of the demise Of our distinguished
,ownsman and fsllow.cIt:z IN, has come to Us with thu
suddeuuess which almost unnerves US for the record
OF BIZ. melancholy fate. The painful associations
connected with his death, snstohed upoonsciously a.
a remote distance from friends, family aud Kindred.
sszravates the poigusncy of the affection. General
Hamilton was on bis way to Texas when he was
thus hurried TO an exit from the au1ieties aud IN
auietudes which had marked the latter stages CT his
truly oheckered career. Hi. name and services are
spshrined in tho hearts of all South Catolinlans. We
arc compelled 70 be brief and osn only oi'sr an out
line of the offices he filed.
He was elected to the Legislature at his entrance
into public life, aud was thence transferred TO the
National House of Representatives, Wa believe in
1920, as the SUCCESSOR of WIN. Lownd-s, from Beaufort
District. In this position he na;ured his powers as
a d-bater and Parliamentary %tactician.
H. became Irtendaut of the city in 1922, the period
Of the contemplated instruction Of Denmark Vesey,
in which Office he exhibited his well known decision
of character and administrative ability.
In 1923 he was elected Governor OF the State, aud
wss principally instrumental in the imitation and ma.
turing of the Modification measures through a State
Convention. These were the principal civil posts
that he occupied.
General Hamilton had, ns the natural counterpart
Of his patriotic caresr, military ambition. II. enter.
ed the srmy in the war OF lsl2. as a Lieutenant OF \
riffs corps, under Colonel Drayton, and subsequently
ssrv we'd as aid to Gen.ral Izsrd, during the campaign
in Canada. After serving In the subordinate grades,
ne bacsme Brigadier General Of tue Third Brigade
Of South Carolina Militia.
For some years General Hamilton had withdrawn
from political life, devoting his faculties to the ser
vice Of be family with that strength Of attachment
and esrnestnes3 Of purpos. whi3b were among his
leading characteris,ics -[Ch1rles,on Np'.
