THE DUKE OF ARGYLL.
His Grace Has IL Good Opinion OF His Ow
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

His Grace Has Good Opinion OF His Own
Accomplishments.
His grace of Argyll is a wit among
dukes in the old fashioned sense of
degraded word. He is the only duke
who can write, and except the duke of
Devonshire the only duke who can
speak. He never forgets that he is a
duke, nor, indeed, do any of his natur-
al or acquired advantages ever for a
moment escape from the range of his
conscious admiration, says British
critic. 1t was his ancestor that Burns
described as my lord, their god, his
grace" 1t was to him that Lord Rose
berry applied the phrase, "the porten-
tous political pedagogue." Highly

Boston, Mass, June 24-At a meeting
of the creditors of the Magnese- Calcite
company, of which the missing Moody
Merrill was president, the assignee stated
that the company issued $50. 900 in bonds
and placed them in the hands of Moody
Merrill, who represented that the bonds
had never been put in circulation. It now
turns out, however, that Mr.. Merril's
statements in this regard were untrue.
Several persons have come forward with
some of these bonds, amounting in the
aggregate to $14, 700, and the assignee said
it was safe to assume that all the $50, 900
of bonds had been put into circulation by
Mr.. Merrill.

BANK FAILURES IN SAN FRANCISCO

Lumberman Steers OF New York Makes .
COmprOmIse-The Cataract Bank Sus-
pensiOn-PlankInton Bank Statement.
Chicago Bankers to Confer.
SAN FRANCISCO, June "A The Board Of
Directors of the Pacific bank, which closed
its doors yesterday, say the direct cause Of
suspension was due to . notice from the
Clearing House Association that the banks
paper would not be accepted hereafter. 1t
has been known for some time that the
bank was laboring under financial difficult
ties, and the announcement Of the action
of the board does not create great sur
prise.
The Pacific bank was organized in 1868
By R. n. Mcdonald, and it's present mana
ger is R. 81. Mcdonald, jr. It has a paid
up capital stock Of 81, 600, GOO, nominal
reserve of about $500, 600 and deposits of
about 81, 500, 900, according to recent
official report. Its loans and discounts
are said to be about 81, 500, 900.
The failure seems to be altogether due
to the recent monetary troubles, and it is
expected the depositors will lose nothing.
Manager Mcdonald says thu bank will re-
sumo, and that the suspension is resorted
to that the bank may realize from its
assets and protect itself from sudden
run by depositors.
The liabilities of the Pacific bank ont.
side of the capital stock and surplus, are
81, $50, 900. Assets, estimated, 81, DOC, 600.
The closing down of the Pacific Bank
has resulted in the suspension of the Peo-
pies Home Savings bank, a collateral in
stitution under practically the same
management.
1t has a guaranteed capital stock of 81,
600, 900, of which one-third is paid up in
cash. According to a recent statement OF
the Peoples Bank it has total deposits of
81, 700, 900. The outlook this morning
was that there seemed to be no reason to
apprehend that the suspension of these
institutions would precipitate a run on
other banks
The leading institutions are said to be
we'll fortified and prepared to meet any
ordinary emergency.
The feeling is that all the commercial
banks are on a secure footing. The presi-
dents of many of them express themselves
as glad that the crisis has arrived that
they may show their strength.

SHALL WE HAVE IT?
School Meeting Called.
Mt. Pleasant Tenn

some Of our citizens have been
work on our School for na5rly 4
year. The charter plans fo build
ing, and grounds are secured Bid
for the erection of the building viii
be opened in the Court house next
Saturday, tomorrow night ] he
meeting Is called for 7:30 o'clock.
Why is it that this town is without
a good school? Is it because oul
people are too poor to build il, GEL
tainly not, FOR there has been
enough expended for school pur-
poses away from our town by our
citizens in the last two years to
build and equip our building. No
we are able to build but we are all
not working for the enterprise.
Why can't all of'thc people come
to the meeting tomorrow night and
help push the work. Is there a
business man or a mechanic who
can't meet to further the most
needed enterprise of the town.
Some who have gotten the work to
its present status are as busy as any
man here, and they have met time
after time, The building commit
tee hopes every business house in
town will be closed for once, and
all come to the meeting. Ii we
will only all work together we can
have our school by September lst,
All are envited and Saturday night
determines the matter, come every
body, or say by your actions that
you care neither for your children
your neighbors children or your
property nor the general welfare OF
the community in which you live
every man in Lawrencebure
should be there, and the man who
says he is tobusy, is deceiving him
self, for no man is so pressed with
business as to make such a CLAIM
with any hope that his neighbor
can accept it in faith, unless some
thing beyond his ordinary worl
should demand his time.
