WYTHEvILLE.

WYrHEvILLE, March 49, Special
The bright spring-like weather is hav-
ing good effect on business, and things
are getting lively. Numerous lot sales
have been reported as being closed, AMI
other negotiations for more extensive
properties are nearing their..completion
c. p. McWane, who is now building at
Graham, Va, and making preparations
necessary to move his pillow foundry,
machine shops, etc, from Wytheville to
that point, was to-day made ono of n
joint stock company TO build and furnish
entirely with new machinery, and ex-
tensive pillow foundry and machine shops

opmcnt Company has offered them q
suitable site on line Of the Norfolk e
Western siding, which has becen re-
Gently built through the Development
Company's property in the West End,
which they will more than likely accept,
1t is supposed at present that these
works will be under the management of
Measrs. c. p. McWane and c. II. Calfee,
but, of course, this must be decided by
meeting of the stock holders
Mr.. Geo. l.. Colgate to whom our
Council. a few weeks ago. granted
franchises, &C., for an electric street
railway plant, was in the city Monday
and put his engineer to work laying Of
the route for his line and making plans
for such buildings as will be necessary
for the construction OF the plant and
car sheds.
Mr.. Allen Hull, the popular travelling
passenger agent of the Norfolk and
Western railroad, was registered at the
Fourth Avenue Hotel yesterday. He
says Wytheville has less mud and is
just the prettiest town on the line of
his road.
Mr.. +. J. Chapman, of Salem, was on
the streets of Wytheville and working
around among the business people.
Lookout; something new is on foot.
The "Greenback" on Main street is
about finished. Mr.. S. Bergman, "the
clothier," formerly with Joseph Cohn,
of Roanoke, has moved his handsome
line of spring clothing and gents fur
nishings into the western store-room,
and the other is being fitted up for the
Bank of Wytheville, the second story of

GREAT FINANCIERrNG.

A remarkable example of what united
effort can do to avert panic is given in
the reorganization of the Barings. Early
in November the Earrings made state
ment of their impending financial
wreck. They owed S10O, 900, 600, and had
ASSETS, largely unavailable, in excess of
that sum. They appealed to the gov
errors of the Bank of England for assis-
lance.
Failure to rescue them meant world
wide panic. The Bank of England
pledged S5,OoO,OOO for their relief
Within twenty hours from that time
S55, 100000 had been pledged and the cri-
sis was averted. Ultimately the guaran-
tee list reached $50, 900, 900.
BY the first of March the liabilities of
the crippled bank had been reduced to
$40, 100000 and enough available assets
are in sight to cover this and leave
surplus. The governors of the Bank of
England have saved the world from
panic.

SOLICITING TIE MAFIA.

There need be no fear of serious in
ternational complications over tho
Italian affair at New Orleans. In the
first place several of the men killed
were naturalized American citizens.
In the second, the Italian government
very we'll knows the power and danger
GUS character of the Malta, and that
violent means are the only ones which
can be effective against an organization
which refuses to submit peaceably to
the arbitrament of the courts.
The Malta has been for the centuries
OF its existence in covert warefaro
against law and order It's methods are
such as to make the ordinary machinery
OF law powerless to act against it. The
reason is simple. The Malta Furnishes
by death revelation of it's secrets. It's
crimes are generally of character
which the ordinary process of law pun
ishes by Imprisonment. The fear of the
greater punishment terrorizes the Grim
inal and his victims.

company. Happily. the third cause named
IS not common now. Probably during The
period from 1865 10 1879. when numerous
companies We're starting and failing. il was
the chief cause During much of this time
the financial condition of the country was
unsettled as result Of the war. The life
insurance business was practically in its
infancy, and while even then founded on
correct principles. its proper conduct was
not well understood by many who had
schemes to promote. The number of
companies increased from tweaty-seveu in
1864 TO seventy-one in 1910, which meant a
net gain of forty-four in six years. Bad
management, raScality in some cases, and
the pernlc1ouS note system conSpired TO
wreck one company after another, and OF
the thirty companies reporting 10 the New
York department. the oldest are those
which remained after the refining fire OF
the latter seventies and the early eighties
had consumed the drOss.
1t is nothing to the discredit of the system
now that companies were kited then. that
unsound practices prevailed, and that the
life insurance organizations failed on ac-
count of them. But il was natural that the
public confidence should be shaken. and
that the ratio OF Withdrawals in the shape
Of losses and surrenderS should increase I'M
til the business settled down upon the solid
basis upon which it rests to-day.
In order TO show the ratio of voluntary
Withdrawals to the amount Of insurance re-
naming in force for a period practically
covering the history of life insurance in
this country We have prepared the follow
ing table, showing ratio of Withdrawals
from surrenders and lapSeS to amount re-
manning in force for tweuty-seven years,

II will be seen from the table that twenty
