Of course; always have been-always
will be. We buy more clothing and
sell more clothing than any house
in Columbia. This large stock is
bought for CASH-mark the fact
which enables us to sell below all

other lines, but when it comes to
CLOTHING, we stand alone in this

Tells the Reason of the Banks Present En-
barrassment

Washington, Dec. 23.-Mr. Eckles, the
comptroller of the currency, said today in
regard to the failure of the Chestnut street
national bank of Philadelphia, that the sus-
pension was primarily due to the shrink
age in the value of the bonds of the pulp
and paper mills located at Elkton, Md.
The capital of the bank is $500 900 and at
the present time its deposits aggregate
about 81 100000 and its surplus about $780,
OOO Mr.. Eckles has been in Philadelphia
several times recently, trying to make ar
rangements by which the pulp and paper
mills securities could be taken out of the
assets of the bank and preferred stock of
the Philadelphia Record company, substi-
tuted. BY this and other changes Mr..
Eckles hoped to put the bank in first-class
condition. Up to 5 o'clock last night it
was thought that the plan would be adopt
ed, but at that time hitch occurred which
rendered suspension necessary.
When the pulp and paper mills securities
were taken by the bank they were regarded
by every one as first-class Mr.. Eckels said
there was not the least suspicion Of any
wrong doing on the part of any one con-
nected with the bank, and he still had
