sAvANNAH's BANK RECORD.
Few Cities Have a Better One in Every
Respect.

/ Respect.
| In commenting upon the recent failure OF
! the two Brunswick banks and the feeling
Of insecurity that prevailed among the de-
| positors and stockholders for some time
| previous to the break, a well known finan-
| cier yesterday referred to the fact that
| since the war Savannah has never had a
failure, either of a national or state bank,
nor have any of her banks of this kind
/ during that time experienced any financial
weakness.
savannah has twelve banks with an esti-
mated banking capital of nearly a 600, 600.
The failure of the Freedman's Bureau did
not affect Savannah's finances. 1t was a
government affair entirely and was a
scheme Of unscrupulOuS northern SpCcu-
lators to swindle the emancipatcd black
people of the sOuth-a scheme which was
successfully carried out. Only a few
persons here outside of the freedmen lost
anything in the break of the bureau.
Few cities can compare with Savannah
in its splendid showing of freedom from
bank disasters. The banks which were
in successful operation here previous to
and during the war, but which were COM
PEELED TO suspend after the collapse of the
confederacy, were the Bank of the State
OF Georgia which occupied the building
facing johnson square the Merchants
and Planters, Farmers and Mechanics,
Planters, Marine. Bank OF Commerce and
the Bank of Savannah.
The Central Railroad Bank continued
through the war. In 1866 the Merchants
National was organized. The Savannah
Bank and Trust Company came into OK
istence in 1863, and in 1870 the Southern
Bank of the State of Georgia was organ
lied. Since 1888 nine banks have been
launched on the financial sea here. and all

How Andrew Ridgel Was KILLED.

Bronson, Fla, May 19-Editor Morn
ing News: l see under the head
of "Round About in Florida" in
your valuable paper, the WEEKLY NEWS,
where your correspondent makes mis-
statement in regard to the killing of one
Andrew Ridgel (negro). He was a yell

"coal-black negro" and again, the
officials of this county Gevy) did not
come up with Ridgel in a building. If
they had Mr.. Hodge, nor his negro
deputy of Marion county, would have
been troubled with him. The truth of
. the matter is, some of the citizens caught
him in w. j. Epperson's barn stealing
corn and undertook to arrest him. Ridgel
opened fire upon them with a pistol and
made his escape. l located him in
Marion county and sent the warrant to
Sheriff Hoege, asking him to arrest him.
He sent his colored deputy to do so, and
hence the killing occurred.

THE SLATER FUND.
Georgia's Colored College Likely to
Get Good Share Of It.

Get Good Share OF It.
DR. j. L. M. Curry of Washington, who
has charge of both the Peabody and the
Slater educational funds, is expected
here within a few days to take a look over
Georgia's colored industrial college in
company with Mai p. w. Meldrim. chair
man of the board of trustees, and it is
thought his visit will result in the con-
tribution of a large fund from the fund
left by Mr.. j. II. Slater of Connecticut
to this institution.
Mr.. Slater and his father, who were
large manufacturers in New England,
were the starters OF cotton manufactur-
ing in this country, and in 1882 he con-
tributed fund of about 81 100000 for the
education of the cOlored race in
the south. Strange TO say the
trustees of this fund appointed Dr.
j. l.. M. Curry, who was mem
Der of the permanent confederate
congress from Alabama, to adj
minister it. DIR. Curry was one Of the
foremost of confederate legislators, and is
by birth Georgian, having been edu-
Gated at the state University. Alabama
was the state of his adoption
1t has about been settled that the Geor-
gla industrial college will get goodly
portion Of this fund. DR. Curry is now
in Atlanta and has been in consultation
with Gov. Northen in regard to this in
stitution. The results seem favor
able to a contribution to it, and
it may be that DR.. Curry will
become satisfied with the WORTH
ness of such contribution without Wis
iting Savannah at all.
Maj. Meldrim says the college is in a
progressive condition, and that twenty
counties were represented there at the
last session. He says the prosperity of
country depends largely on its having
requisite amount of skilled labor, and
that practical instruction in the indus
trial arts is one of the chief features to
commend this institution. The commence
ment exercises of the college will take
place on June7.

TO PLAY NASHVILLE TODAY.
Our Club to Renew It's Battles in
Tennessee Again To-day.

Savannah goes to Nashville to-day for
three games in that city. The lovers of
the sport here have not lost confidence in
Manning and his men by any means, and
they expect to see our boys take win
ming streak to-day and carry of the hon
ors of two out of three contests with Ted
Sullivan's Indians. They think it is
about time the "off days" were overcome
and look upon Nashville as the boundary
line Of the spell. 1t is to be hoped Man
ming will not disappoint Savannahians in
this respect.
The other series of the league for the
three days will be as follows
Charleston at Memphis
Augusta at Birmingham.

New York, May 2O.-In their circular

same time, averaging about 10000, 900
dividends annually for thirteen years
past. TWO-thirdS of this vast earnings
was paid for labor, leaving capital more
income than it probably ever made before
on transportation in any similar period
Railway stocks averaged lower this week
than at any similar period since 1885, and
now seem to offer better opportunities for
investment than for years. AS long as
IA roads can earn in four months Sl61 900 .
