 Pine Belt News: Don't lay the blame at Cleveland 8 feet. He Is no more responsible for the. financial panic than you or any other citizen. The sooner you get 1t out oi your heads that his being president caused inc "dull times' experienced in many sec- tions for several months the better off you will be.

The defendants will be arraigned today before one of the commissioners, when a preliminary trial will be held
