THE care which the savings of
the poor are safeguarded in Mas
sachusetts is shown by the report
of the commissioners of savings
banks of that state. The commits
sioners express themselves against
allowing savings banks to be
established that have in mind any
other object than that of furnishing
a fate place of deposit for persons
of small means,
This attitude of the MASSACHUSETTS
savings bank commissioners is suf-
ficient answer to the contentious
put forth by the opponents of the
postal savings bank system. If it
be said that the government ought
not to interior with the business
by which private individuals make
profit, the answer is that in those
parts of the country where facli-
ties are most nearly adequate
private individuals are not allowed
to make profit from handling the
savings of the poor. The savings
banks of Massachusetts, are purely
benevolent institutions, managed
by trustees who derive neither
profit nor compensation from their
connection with the institutions.
No other kind of savings bank is
allowed to do business in that
state. If the states with the best
savings banks have found it neces-

PAY no attention to slanderers on

These things cannot possibly in

Subscription So per Year.

The sole object of bill for the
establishment of a postal savings
bank system should be to provide
an absolutely safe depository. for
the savings of persons of small
means. There are many things
which the government ought to do,
and there are many wants of the
people which ought to be supplied.
But the sttempt ought not to be
made to supply other wants in the
measure creating postal savings
bank system.
The people in many parts OF the
country need better credit facilities.
Anything which the groverment
properly can do to enable it's citi-
zens to secure loans at lower rates
it should do. But when it comes
to determining what is proper in
this line great difference of opinion
is manifested. On the question of
providing safe repositories for
small savings, however, opinion is
very generally agreed. Congress
in allprobability can be induced to
pass at an early date a bill pro-
viding simply for safe repositories
and making such an agreement for
investment of funds as is necessary
to the accomplishment of that pur-
pose. 1t is very doubtful, how
ever, if congress would pass a pos
tai savings bank bill occupied with
which was proposition for enabl-
ing citizens in need of money to
secure loans from the government.
All believers in postal banks
should unite in favoring the only
kind of bill that congress may be
expected to pass namely, one the
sole object of which is to provide
safe place of deposit for persons
ofsmall means. The main purpose
of the provision in relation to in
vestments should be to safeguard
the funds and return to the post
office department rate that will
enable it in turn to make small
interest payment to depositors.
Whatever the government might
see fit to do, if anything, to enable
farmers and others to secure loans
at cheaper rates is q seeprate
problem, attended with special
difficulties, to be worked out by it
self, and in no way mixed up with
the present movement to provide
safe places of deposit for those
who desire to save Chicago Re

Postponed Action on Important
Matters Until Next

TAX RATE TO Be FIXED THEN

The county commissioners met, IN
regular monthly session yesterday,
confronted with several grave and i'm
portant matters.
The meeting, however, did not result
In any decision on either of them.
The commissioners decided to post
pone action on the three vital matters
before them until Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 10, when they will hold a spe-
cial meeting for the purpose.
The bondsmen of the late Hon. John
z. Lamb, county treasurer, were sum-
moned before yesterdays meeting to
show cause why executions should not
be issued against them for the amount
which the county claims is due it by
the estate of the deceased treasurer.
AS THE TIMES has explained, Mr..
Lamb deposited county monies in the
Oglethorpe and State banks, and the
banks failed shortly afterward. The
county claims that this amount, about
81 900, must be paid by the Lamb es-
tate, as the treasurer was not author
lied to make county repositories of
the two banks mentioned.
A resolution was ready to be offered
at yesterdays meeting ordering the
issuance of executions against the
estate for the amount claimed. The
bondsmen, however, asked for more
time, which was granted. The matter
will be determined at the adjourned
meeting.
The fixing of the county tax rate
was also to be consummated yesterday,
but this also went over for further
consideration. The commissioners are,
it is rumored, considering the question
of the tax rate very seriously, and
there may be some interesting news
matter in connection with it.
The commissioners did not take up
the question of the rental asked by the
city council for the city hall offices.
They will decide this at next Wednes-
days meeting.
The county bills were approved and
ordered paid.

Brunswick's Big Gain in Cotton Receipts for
Last Year,
1.-THE publication in THE TIMES this
morning of the figures of increase in
the shipping business of Southern
ports was very encouraging, especially
in regard to Brunswick" said a prom
inent Bay street shipping man yester-
day. "The article, however, did not
give the most encouraging feature of
Brunswlck's shipping growth-the
cotton movement"
"'rhe New York Journal of Com
merce, the very best authority on
trade in this country, gives, in its
last Issue, a statement of the increase
in cotton receipts at southern ports
for the cotton year ending August 81
last. Brunswick's increase for last
year over the year before was 53K per
cent. This was about the largest in
crease on the list, and its meaning
can be better understood by taking the
percenta of the larger cotton ports,
notably Savannah, which showed only
1O1a per cent.
81 would be willing to wager" con-
tinued the gentleman, 'that the per-
centage of increase for the present
cotton year will be fully as large if
not larger. While in past years, we
have had only one cotton exporting
firm, we have for this season, two
concerns, each co. operating with an
important railroad system. With the
Johnston line as an extension of the
Southern system, and Capt. Churchill
working with the Plant System, and
with our most favorable rates, | ex-
pect to see Brunswlck's cotton re-
ceipts go up from 1000 bales last
year to fully 100000 bales this year."
The indications corroborate the
opinion of the gentleman quoted
above. Brunswick is growing rap
idly to position of great shipping
Importance and there are no prospects
of backward movement.
