Or course bank can't hold up
under the pressure if those who owe
it fail to pay their indebtedness and
everybody that the bank owes calls
on it at the same time for their mon
ey. This fact is thoroughly recog-
nized by the general public, but the
same general public seems to immag-
Inc that such is not the case with a
newspaper; they apparently immas-
Inc that it is tho publishers sacred
duty to furnish them a paper from
one years end to another without
any recompensc. Did you ever Won
der to yourself how it was possible tor
publisher to furnish You 2S-col-
umn all home print newspaper tor the
small sum of less than , cents per
week then, again, have YOU ever
immagined that the publisher loved
You enough to furnish you paper
free If YOU have, You are badly Oft.
lfyou are reader of the Posi- you
are expected to pay, and if You have
not already done 50, then don wait
for another reminder If you don t
like the Posi-, then pay up and quit
there's no law compelling you to
take it. This notice applies to those
indebted for pastdue advertising and
iob-work as well as to delinquent
subscribers.

GEN'L AYERS TiLkS on THE
SITUATION.
To the Editor Of the Post ;

DEAR SlE:-In the present depressed
financial condition of the whole
country it behoves all intelligent,
public-splritad citizens not only to
abstain from any action that will
further add to the all-pervading feel
ing of distrust, but to do all in their
power to restore confidence and per
init commerce and business to resume
their wonted channels at the earliest
moment practicable.
The trouble now is that money has
almost entirely stopped circulating.
People who have it won't pay II out,
although they owe debts, but hoard
it for fear they won't get any more.
They could not take a Surer pre-
caution against getting it. II every
one holds on to all he has no one Will
ever get any more. But is this wise
or public spirited A small sum of
money freely circulating in 4 COM
munity will pay great many debts
in very short time, and often comes
back to the man who originally paid
it ont from some Of his debtors.
1t is the duty of every man who
has money now to throw to the winds
any doubt or distrust, and pay it out.
If you have money and owe debts,
pay it on them; if you want to I'M
prove go about; if you want work
done have it done at once; turn the
money loose and let it circulate.
If you have money and do not need
it put it in the bank. Banks, when
they are fulfilling their regular mis-
sion under ordinary circumstances,
are the greatest benefciaries to the
community. They are the medium
through which the money is collect
ed from those who do not need to
use it and loaned to those who will
nse it and keep it circulating, in
this way keeping an equilibrium.
In times like these the banks are
powerless. They cannot loan money
because they know that it will soon
get into the hands of some one who
will hoard it.
personally know that the Appa-
lachian Bank here and the Bank of
Gate City have more money now
than they have had on hand at any
one time for more than three years,
much more than they should have,
which under ordinary circumstances
they would loan, and would loan now
but for the distrust and apprehen-
sion prevailing. They are compelled
to remain strong until the people
come to their senses and begin to
have trust and confidence in their
fellow-men.
have noticed closely the reported
bank failures over the country, and
there are not one-tenth OF them that
are insolvent. In nine cases out Of
ten they have been forced to suspend
bv the insane distrust and want Of
confidence on the part of the very
communities they have served for
wears. and who have all their money
borrowed.
There is hardly person who has
money who does not also hold debts.
How can you expect your debts paid
if you hoard your money
We cannot fully revive business at
once, but we can greatly relieve the
financial pressure under which we are
laboring il we will all work together
for a restoration of trust and conf
dence and encourage, by every means
in our power, the return of boarded
money to regular channels of trade

BRISBANE, February 6.-The water is
rising steadily in this city and the lower
districts are completely submerged. In
the lower portions of the main street if

most total loss. In consequence of the
interruption of railway and telegraphic
