ACCORDING to the report of Mr..
Robert P. Porter, Special Census
Agent, it appears that of the to-
tai amount Of registered Gov
ernment bonds, $1,l73,OOO,OOO, all
IRE held in this country except
s27 $4,000 credited to foreign holders.
More than half of the whole, or, to be
more exact, 1914, 100000 are registered
bonds of four, four and ne-half and
FIVE per cent in the hands Of seventy
three thousand individuals and corpo-
rations, not including national banks
md foreign holders, These iudivid-
uals and corporations are mostly large
holders, about two-t thirds OF the whole
amount, or upward of four hundred
million dollars, being held in amounts
Of over fifty thousand dollars, and only
Ibout twenty millions in amounts of
me thousand dollars and uuder, in.
cluding seven millions in sums less
than FIVE hundred dollars. OF the
eventy-three thousand holders
two per cent are corpora
tions and thirty-six per cent are per-
'ons living in New England, forty two
per cent in the Middle, fifteen per
sent in the Western and three per
cent in the Southern States. Massa-
chusettS is credited with twenty.three
md New York twenty per cent of the
holders. Coming to amount we find
thirty-fve per cent held by banks, in
'urance companies, etc, and ten per
cent by individual holders in New
England, forty-three per cent in the
Middle, eight per cent in the West
ern and two per cent in the Southern
States. This shows that very few
government bonds have been taken
in the South, and that there are more
small holders in New England than
in any other part of the country
Another noteworthy fact is that $780,
100000 have been invested in bonds
/ by 290 900 women.

Iris about 800 miles by river from
New Orleans to Memphis, and th,
only intervening quarantine station
has been discontinued. Should tn,
Memphis station be taken off, wha
will become Of St. Louis? The peo-
pie up that way have a healthy horror
of Memphis, which often gives thei,
drummers the jimjams in a CONNER
cial sense. The station down at Pres
idents Island is the last bulwark Of
safety between New Orleans and st
Louis. Seriously, if river quarantine
is worth anything it should be rigidly
maintained; if not, it should be dis
continued altogether, and with it al
hangers-on.

ages to show himself to great advant-
age.

form within three inches of the mouth
Of the wound and escape'detection un-
til it had caused py@mia does not give
happy impression Of the acuteness Of
the doctors about the President. The
incision for opening the pocket was
made, it appears, at three iuches be-
low the point where the bullet euter-
ed. was only an inch deep, and the
cavity was found outside the ribs. It
appears, however, that the bullet went
down outside the ribs for at least three
inches below the point of entrance.
How does DR.. Bliss reconcile this
with his great theory that the bullet
pierced the liver? But it also appears
that the discovery was made yesterday
that the Presidents tenth rib is fract-
ured. 1t seems Incredible that with
four surgeons about him for three
weeks this discovery was not earlier
made.

FAST MAIL The fast mail train on the Shen
andoah Valley and Chesapeake and Ohio roads
during the springs season was a great conve-
nience to our people. By it we received the
Philadelphia and New York mail the day it
left those cities, and the mail from all the East
ern States twelve hours in advance of the old
arrangement The suspension of this train
after the springs travel was oyer, has awak-
ened an interest in having an adequate substi-
tute for it as a permanent arrangement. If
the management of the Shenandoah Valley
Road would run a train from Staunton, leav-
ing at 7:30 a. M, and reaching the eastern
cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York on fast schedule time, and leaving those
cities also so as to, reach Stanton the same
day the bulk of the travel east would be on
that route. We call the attention of Presi-
dent Kimball to the suggestion. 1t is one in
which our people feel a deep interest, as 1t
would facilitate their communications with the
centres of trade, economic time and increase
travel.
