PERSONAL SPITE DID IT.
That Is How officials of the Merchants Bank
of Atlanta Explain the Assignment.
The QepoSitorS Are Assured.

Atlanta Ca, Oct 16.-The Merchants
bank of Atlanta closed it's doors this
morning, an assignment having been
made to ]. G. Oglesby, George w. Scott
and George Winship. The capital stock
of the bank was 100000. The bank owed
deposltors S275,OOO, and its total liabilities
were $S65,OOo. OF this 100000 is due to 9TH
er banks.
The immediate cause of the banks coll
lapse was a run caused by rumors follow
ing the withdrawal of the county and
state funds. In the past ten days a. j.
Stewart, tax collector of this county,
withdrew $4,000 due the county and
state. This got out on the streets and
quiet Withdrawals by depositors followed.
The bank stood the run for ten days, and
the officers state that they could have
kept open for two weeks longer, but con-
cluded that it would be best to liquidate
as soon as possible. President Portere
and the directors say that the depositCrs
will get every dollar and that the stock
holders will receive at least 70 cents on
the dollar The bank was organized TWEEN
ty-four years ago. One of the directors
says that the failure was brought about
by fight made on it from the outside by
parties who had a personal grievance
against some of the officials. The Mer-
chants owed nothing to the city banks
here. 1t made no request of the clearing
house for assistance.
Some of the other banks paid out gold
today to quiet any uneasiness that might
be felt. All other banks in the city are
pronounced to be safe.

WHITE SUPREMACY.
The Democratic State Committee of North
Carolina Issues Manifesto to the White
Voters fusion Is Abandoned.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 16.-The democratic
state committee tonight issued an address
to the voters of the state which says the
party has made all possible efforts to
induce the populists to fuse on state,
congressional and legislative tickets but
has met With refusals; that its PROPOSE
ton for congressional fusion IN order to
elect a solid silver delegation was made
August 10 and insisted on since The adj
dress declares that it is apparent that
the republican party is anna ssing an
enormous registration of illegal voters,
which is made possible by the election
law, which plainly permits fraud; that
the negroes have drawn the color line,
and, taking advantage of the division OF
the white vote on gold and silver, have
arraigned themselves in the unbroken re-
publican columns, trusting to thus get a
dominant position; that the republican
officials boast that the Illegal negro regis
tration will give the state to Mckinley.
The address calls on all white men to
unite, and says that though some divis-
ion of white votes is imminent,
with the great majority there should be
no doubt of their power to marshal for
the democratic party sufficient votes to
save the state from republican rule and
white supremacy to support only the
ticket which offers the hope of success
against Mckinley and Russell.
A telegram tonight to Secretary Hyam
of the republican state committee says
United States Senator Pritchard is sick
at his home at Marshall, and is threat
ened with fever

isle mounted chair, and as he did SO
some one in the crowd called out: Tell
the truth" He promptly answered: Il
will try to do so.'
The secretary said 1t was not possible
for him to go to Baltimore. He made a
short speech, in which he said EVERY
man in the United States, whether he
works for wages or not, who wants to

what he may hereafter receive, ought to
