The work of taking subscriptions to the
Bank at Abbeville IS still going on. Owing
to the limitations of the charter and the GRIP
pling bylaws which We're intended Tor an Al
lance Bank, but unsuitable for ciliZeh
bank, the officers and directors ma II
difficult to make the progress which theF oth
erwlse would do. If the officers aud bank ui'
rectors had not been embarrassed by The pro
vision in the charter which forbids any ono
toown more than 81 900 Of stock, and If the by
law had not been enacted whereby the slock
holder may draw out eighty per cent. OF all
that he pays in, we have reason to believe
the Bank would to-day have paid-in capital
OF $4,000 or more.
The provisions above named almost uu

ness, and 1t would not surprise us II applica

The Directors OF the Bank met last Ihurs'
day, and discussed many matters oil interest,"

Mr.. j. H. Morrah. of the Savannah siue'
was elected Director in place OF Col. ). 1. hoL'
ertson, resigned.
While we are not in the inside and may be
entirely mistaken in every statement OF lact
and belief, yet we will give some points, as
we.believe them.
Mr.. Morrah was elected, rather than MT.
Isaac A. Kellar, for the reason that he mas
great influence with the Alliance men oh th'
Savannah side OF the county.
The President of the County Alliance was
present Colonel Robertson's letter anu the
heading to the same was freely discussed III
the meeting.
II was resolved to make vigorous effort 10
collect the subscriptions TO the Bank between
now and Sale Day in March. For this Pur'
pose notices will be sent TO all subscribers 10
the capital stock. We have not heard Ill the

case OF refusal or neglect of subscribers u

pected TO pay, and the officers and directors
intend to collect the subscriptions. VI thls'
every subscriber may rest assured.
We have no comment 10 make on the man

was intended for an Alliance Bank. We have
nothing to do with that, however. The SUD-
.criptions are made in writing and legally
und every subscriber, who Is bound rs last
as pen and paper can bind, to pay the SUD-
scrlption.
The Bank will carry out with these SUD-
scribers the agreement which they nave
made, and will lend money and extend crcuil
to them as was provided by the charter ana
the bylaws. but the officers will amend the
charter and bylaws so as TO admit larger
stockholders with fewer privileges. Inc
Bank will succeed. even though hampered
and embarrassed by the Alliance.

LIGHT IN DARK PLACES.
Another Salvation Army Hopes to Gal
 Converts to the Good Cause.

Another Salvation Army Hopes to Gain
 Converts tO the Good Cause.
 From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 The proposition of General Booth to raise $5,O0O,OO0 first and last, to fight the battle against starvation and pow erty in London, has created something of sensation. The work of mitigating the temporal condition, he holds, is es- sential to religious progress. "The com iorts of religion are not much to man who wants his dinner" It is related that Christ fed the multitude. That was a condition precedent to the en- iorcement of religious truth.
 The leader of the Salvation Army in London has undertaken to save the nultitude of hungry, impoverished and lespairing men and women in that great city. He admits that preaching will have no visible effect upon them, unless their temporal condition can be improved. Of course all those who re- eive temporal aid will be required to come under the discipline which he en- orces. They will be required to dis ard vicious practices, to adopt habits of industry and help themselves out of the slough of despair.
 When Walter Besant secured the building of a Peoples Palace in the most neglected district of London, it re- suited in most remarkable success. It was the very thing the people wanted place where books and lectures were accessible and where arausements were cheap and wholesome.
 General Booth proposes to go lower down and rescue, if possible, those who are counted by society as lost He pro poses to establish industrial refuges" where these people can be gathered, and there by example learn the first lesson of temporal salvation. There are to be labor bureaus where every needy man and woman is to To put en the way to work. The most efficient are to be sent into the country or to communities where steady employment can be found. He proposes saving barlks and whatever else will be helpful to the people whom he has undertaken to reclaim.
 All this and more he proposes as in- cidental to the work of religious prog ress. Without noting further the de- tails of his plan, it IS the largest and most comprehensive scheme to uplift and save people beyond the present reach Of religious influence that has been proposed in modern timeti. It has ] already taken such hold of the commu- nity that there is good prospect that

HOWARD ON THE ARMY
ADVOCATES ENLARGEMENT OF THE
 ARMY ROLL.
Believes the Retired List IE Too Limited Suggests the Formation of Auxiliary Batrllions of Young Men.

WASHINGTON, November 5. r. Major General Howard, commanding the lllvi- sion of the Atlantic, in his ennual report dwells on the necessity of continued activity in the matter of sea coast de- lenses.
 He earnestly hopes that efforts will be continued to organize the three branches of the army into regiments of twelve troops, batteries or companies, officered by the number and grade of officers now authorized for cavalry regiment. The present maximum of 25, 900 enlisted men results in severe re- striction and to keep the organization up to g, 900 the maximum allowed should not be less than 35,000.
 General Howard says, the effect of having an organized army in 1866 with officers of nearly the same age who had already suffered much hardship in the rebellion is now working serious injury to the service. The number of disabled officers far exceeds the limit of the re- tired list. Such officers as are above 64 years of age should, by legislation, be transferred from the limited to the unlimited retired list. In the case of enlisted men, thirty-hve years service is too long before retirement and twenty five years is suggested.
 Until last September the mortality among Indian prisoners was excessive but it now appears has been checked. A new village should be constructed for them in place of their present tenn perary shelters, The idea of making these Indians self-sustaining had to be given up and pay of 50 cents per day has been allowed those who work for the post, with the result of ameliorating their discontent.
 In conclusion, General Howard sug- gests that some system of school bat talions of boys from 17 to 2l years of age be organized as source of supply of material for non-commissioned officers for the army and militia.
