Banking in Jamaica.
From the Gleaner.l

FROM me 0tedner.l
The Report Of the Colonial Bank which
we republishpd on Tuesday last, diSclOSeS
the fact that the bank is not able, des-
pite u most favourable condition of their
business, and the undoubted improve
mpnt that has taken place in the affairs
in the West Indies, to employ their pre-
sent means.
The report shows that advances and dis.
counts shew a reduction of about EGO 1000,
and there is 81 larger accumulation of
funds in London than is profitable or de-
sirable." -.
If the experience of banking in Jamaica
is of any value, we do not think this con-
dition of things is at all to be wondered
at. Profits OF. all branches OF industry
throughout The world are narrower than
they ever were. Merchants, owing to the
severe competition, born of the great faci-
lities given by steamships and telegraphS,
are doing business On smaller margins
than obtained years ago, when heavy stocks
had to be carried aud the earnings OF capt
tai were greater. Notwithstanding this
obvious fact, the rate of discount aud the
rate of interest on advances at the Colonial
Bank remain the same rs when sugar was
ESQ per ton, and merchants only ordered
their goods every twelve or every six
months, instead OF by every packet, as
nOw. e, >t.
While profits upon ordinary merchan-
die have fallen from so or go per cent to
5, 10 and Is per cent, the rate of discount
at the Colonial Bank remains at 8 per
cent, and interest on advances at per
cent.
The discount, too, is paid ON the gross
amount of the Bill, while only that amount
less the discount is advanced Of the &C
ceptance. This increases the actual rate
by nearly l per cent on the actual loan.
Merchants in England and Europe gen.
orally, as we'll as in the United States
have for years past recognised this state
of things, and the rate of interest on cur
rent accounts has fallen from Z per cent.

reestabliShing, steam communication be.
tween this and St. CrOix has been again
taken in hand, and promises this time to
be pushed to q head. The idea of reviving
steam transit is not altogether new, having
on more than one occasion been proposed,
and eventually abandoned. Why former
efforts have resulted in fai ure, has never
been properly explained, bur we do not
think it was SO much from lack of money,
as from lack Of perSev erance. at the pre-
scent time, however, there seems to be
no flies" on the project, and if We are
to Judge by information at our disposal
everything points to IA successful issue,
the contamination Of which would confer
a l~Ong.ftlt want-One that none will be
better able to appreciate than those who
now nail across against headwindS or re-
main at sea in protracted Calms. In these
days the facilities of quick inter Ommuni-
cation are of great advantage, aud those
who have taken tue initiative in the matter
deserve much common dation. AS to par.
t~iculars, re are enabled to give the follow.

that they are also allowed ex-ofioio SAL
aries by the commissioners court, and
fees for keeping prisoners; that they are
paid good fees in civil cases in the dis
trlNk courts, and fees in criminal, civil
ana probate eases in the county courts;
that in all counties having popula-
ton less than ten thousand they collect
taxes for which they receive liberal COM
pensation; that they average in fees an
amount annually equal to the salary paid
district judges, and that some of them
make three times more each year than
the salary of the chief justice of the su-
preme court, then the charge that they
are being oppressed by strict adherence
to law must be heard with some caution.
Before leaving this subject it Is but
just to tell you there are also many ac-
counts filed in the comptroller s Office
that have been presented here for exami-
nation, showing that sheriffs have charged
the state mileage from eight thousand to
thirty-two thousand miles which they
claimed to have Travelled in the service of
criminal process at one term of court
Before this department now are accounts
for mileage which these officers have
sworn to have travelled in the execution
of process at single terms of their district
courts-one being for IL 200; another for
1000; another for % 900; another fer
q 900, and still another for 80 900 miles
Some of those accounts show that a few
of said officers have Travelled more than
the distance around the globe for one
term of their court for which they
charged the usual fees against the state.
Candor impels the admission that many
times the attorney general and the
comptroller have been mutual in their
establishment at such exhibitions of
official industry, and if diligent investi-
CATION into such accounts, or strict aD-
plication of the law has been made to
them, the protection of the public
treasury alone was in view. Very re-
spectfully, J. S. HOGG.

THE NEW SOUTH.
She is Going Ahead at a More
Rapid Rate than Ever.
The Industrial Situation as Exhibited
by the Number of New Indus
tries Established.
The Character of the Industries More Substan-
tial Than in Previous Years-Interesting
Statistics.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June S0.-The
Tradesman of July will publish a state
ment showing the industrial situation in
the South as exhibited by the number of
new industries established during the last
three months.
1t shows that during the past quarter
1927 new industries have been estab-
lished, against 600 in the previous
quarter.
There were III new enterprises begun
during the first six months of 1889,
against 1890 for the corresponding period
of the previous year, showing that the
South is going ahead at a more rapid rate
than ever before
What is more significant, says the
Tradesman, is the fact that the character
of the industries is of more substantial
character, and is on much better basis
than in previous years.

Children, - and in which, taking a 900
cases as g basis, he reaches the following
conclusions:
Children whose father is less than
twenty years of age have weak consti-
tuition The issue of fathers of between
twenty-five and forty years are the
strongest, while the descendants
of fathers Of over forty
years are weak. The healthiest chill
dren are those whose mother has not
reached thirty five years. Those born of
mothers of between thirty five and forty
years of age are s per cent. weaker, and
those of mothers of over forty are 10 per
cent. weaker. The children of aged
fathers and younger mothers have, as a
general thing, strong constitution; but
if the parents are OF the same age, the
children are less robust.

MEMPHIS DISTRICT COTTON.

Fleeey Staple

The Outlook Anything but Favorable for the
Fleeey Staple
MEMPHIS, TENN, June 3O.-The reg
ular monthly crop report for the Mem
phis district, which embraces West Ten
nessee, North Mississippi, North Arkan-
sas and North Alabama, to be pub
lished tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine s.
Co., will say: The weather during June
was in the main unfavorable for cot
ton. The complaint is general of
too much rain and crops are
badly in the grass. The stands as a rule
are very irregular. Early is good, but the
late planting off cotton was affected
by the drouth which prevailed during
May, and the result is that fully one-half
of the crop is late, generally about two
weeks later than last years. The i'm
perfect stands taken together with the
lateness of the crop and the unfavor-
able weather that prevailed during the
month makes the outlook anything but
favorable for the cotton crop.

is not a thing of cash but of constitution:
not of good investments but OF good
health. The young man or young Wo-
man that has inherited from his or her
parents q sound constitution and its
cOncomitant of perfect health has no
earthly reason to complain Of pareutsEs

which is far and away Of greater

thing which money can buy. They have
received that which lawyers cannot melt

Eastland County diminishing.

Special to the Gazette.
EAsTLAND, TEX, June 29. The Dallas
News of the 29th leaves the impression
that Eastland county is gone hog wild =,
and that nothing but lawlessness and
criminals inhabit said county. There
has never been a case of arson at Carbon,
and only one case of burglary at Rising
Star. So far as that White Cap business
is concerned there is no such organiza-
ton in this county now, nor has there
been. Eastland county is rapidly NOV
ing to the front. Crop prospects were
never better. Real estate is advancing
rapidly, and home seekers are more
plentiful than ever before.
