A WELCOME ADDRESs.

The students Of the National Business
College welcomed Rev. Il. w. Patton to
their chapel exercises yesterday morning
and gave their hearty applause to his ap
propriate remarks suitable for such an
occasion. After reading the third chap
ter Of tie FIRST Corinthians, Mr.. Patton
remarked about the importance Of every
work being led By morning prayer. He
then led in prayer, the students and in
structors Joining him mt the conclusion
in the Lords Prayer. Then the regular
morning roll was called At the conclu-
sion of the roll-cali.-Mr. Patton. though
he did not preach sermon, took a text
from the above named chapter, and ad-
dressed the students for about fifteen
minutes, during which time he said
That the world has comparatively few
doctors, lawyers, ministers and profess
sional men in comparison with the mum.
Der of business men of this country. and
the business men are the bone and siuew
of our nation. Hence the Importance of
an institution oil this kind IN our m idst. +"
His address naturally divided itself into
three divisions, namely, enterprise, de-
termination and character. ''No man. y
be said, Fought to bee is n business
man who is not II man of character" He
also made plain to the students how each
one is mirror rejecting to his fellow
students the character of hims self, and H.
Illustrated what influence one student has
over another because of his conduct, be it
good or had. He then drew IL com parison
showing how each one, by his regular
prayers, right living, and so on, could
draw himself close TO God, and stated
that the character of God would be more
marked in the student by this means than
would the cha racter of han and things.
In this way he proved the power of the
Creator.

POLITICAL DEAL ON WATSON
Republicans and Prohibitionists Will En-
lnrSn Him for Gnvnrnar In Eeornin

Republicans and Prohibitionists Will En-
dorse Him for Governor in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. ia political deal
was made to day which insures rel.hot
CUBE rnatorial contest in Georgia this
year. State Senator .Yancy Carter, the
Populist leader OF the State, has been in
consultation since Sunday with United
States Marshal Walter johnson, United
States District Attorney Edward G. An
gier and other CONSPICUOUS Republicans
who are now holding down profitable gov
ernment Offices The result of the cor
ference is positive declaration that the,
Republicans will endorse Thomas T..
Watson, the late candidate fo- vice presi-
dent, for governor as soon as the Popu-
lists nominate him for that office.
The friends of Watson have also ar.
ranged for his nomination by the Prohi-
bitionists and Farmers Alliance, and
there is no other party opposed to the
straight Democracy except the gold Dem
ocrats. 1t is hardly possible, OF course,
that the Watsonites will secure their
support. The indications are that this
arrangement will lead to one of the hot
test fights in the history of Georgia roll
itics. Watson is personally very popular
throughout the State and his success in
getting together the several minority
parties has alarmed the Democratic lead
ers good deal more than they Will adj
NIT. The probable Democratic candidate
Is former Congressman Allen D. Chan
dlef, now secretary of State.

THE TRADERS.
The Secretary and Treasurer Is
sues a Statement.

various rnmors being in ciiulation yes
terday in regard to the fnanial condition
OF the Traders Loan, Trust and Deposit
COMPANY, of this city, representative
OF The Times called at the tank and on
inquiring as to the truth of the report
that the company had made an assign
ment, received the following statement
from the secretary and tr. asurer, w. L.
Andrews:
1.-THE Lyrchburg National Bank bought
certain stock in the Traders Loan, Trust
and Deposit Company, of j. w. Coon and
others, for which stock they demanded
that the bank transfer them the COM
pany improved real estate; but the di.
rectors anu Offers deeming it contrary to
the interests .of depositors to give the
company's best assets to the stocEhold-
ers, leaving the depositors out, declined
to comply with the demand of the lynch
burg National Bank. They offered, how
ever, that If the Lynchburg bank would
pay an adequate amount of cash on the
real estate that the company would &C
cept the stock in part payment. This not
meeting with the views of the Lynchburg
National Bank they asked for receiver.
The Traders Bank has promptly paid all
checks presented and will continue to do
go. but has ceased to take deposits. The
officers and directors deny that there has
been any intention of making IN assign
ment. Motion for IL receiver will he
made Saturday morning in Judge Du-
puy's court. All check .depositors can
get their money"
Mr.. Andrews was seen later Yesterday
evening by Il Times reporter and said in
answer to the rumor that all business had
been suspended at the bark, that he
had closed business yesterday Mt the
usual hour and expected to continue this
morning. The bank mad improved real
estate in this city, which ar the asses
sor's valuation would fully cover all
claims and that there were parties who
would be willing at any time to take the
assets ofsthe bank and assume all of it's
liabilities.
