cantofn r e Morton. OF stanton, who

"A letter TO the Rockbrldge County News
December lst:
"As the football season has come 20
a close and so much pro and con IS
being said and written about the rough
and tumble sport, the cons especially pe-
ing a little too hard on the boys. the
writer feels like putting in his say in the
way OF q strong pro on tho side OF

nOke on q Norfolk and western night
train. reaching there about 1920. In COM
mon with most Of the through passengers

was doing on the scat when the train
slowed up az the station. At once n crowd
Of young men In football toggery, with
as many more IN gray uniform, pounced
into the hrst-class car

by their 'rooters.'

rSorcu NATIONAL BANKS.

We are eratified 30 see that some OF
tho leading Southern newspapers are
taking n very decided stand against the
proposition TO establish government 'sav-
ings banks. The old South was bitterly
opposed to every species Of paternalism'
and especially did it resent the unJusu-
fable interference on the part OF the
Federal Government with the prerogatives
OF the individual States.
In these latter days a spirit OF social
ism has mado itseslf manifest IN the
South. but we are glad TO know that
there are many men left who are true to
old traditions and who stand for states
rights and American manhood.
one of the ablest opponents OF govern
ment savings banks IS the Wilmington
IN. c. Messenger. and we took occasion
some time ago 10 quote very sensible
article from that contemporary on the
subject.
Now comes the Columbia Is. CO State
with several reasons for opposing gov
eminent savings banks, and apart from
the principle involved It lays stress on
this particular objection TO which We
have before called attention. The estab-
ishment Of such banks, SAYS our South
Carolina contemporary, would drain the
Souths money away from the South, and
Heaven knows that there are drains
enough already in the pension list tariff
int MI
The money deposited in postal savings
banks, it goes on, would find its way to
Washington and thence would be invested
by officials dominated by northern inhu-
ences. the result of which would be that
the South's balance in these banks would
pretty accurately represent the sum of
Southern money held at the North. Our
own savings banks. adds the State. keep
their deposits ct home and most Of their
investments are at home. and it is far bet
fer for us that they should continue to
handle such savings.
The strange thing about all this is that
many OF those who are loudest in their
opposition to what they call 1.-THE GEN.
tralized money power and loudest In
their opposition TO national banks are
favorable TO this plan TO establish other
national banks which cannot but have the
effect to carry the souths money to the
large money centres of the North, where
there is already more money than the
hanks know what TO do with. What the
South needs IL the people would only see
II. is for the government 10 go entirely
out of the banking busIness-to give us
free banking-that the individual States

with their own and that the natural laws

are those who say that the Patrick apple
is superior TO the celebrated pippin OF
Albemarle. We frequently refer TO this
subject because we regard 1t as one OF
supreme importance to the farmers OF
Virginia.
There is profit in apple culture. not only
in the luscious fruit as IT comes from the
trees. but in evaporated apples. and while
our farmers are slow to grasp this fact
they are gradually opening their eyes 10
the situation, and we have no doubt mat
in the near future ono Of Virginias most
profitable crops will be that which Is
gathered from the fruit trees.
