THE COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL.

THE COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL.
The county seat removal is much
bruited matter here as we'll as in Springer.
Ration wants the county seat, and feel sure
that the election to be held on June IA
will result in favor of removal. As I am
q Ratonian this morning some of the
reasons we have for bringing the county
capital to our city will prove interesting.
In the first place Ration is the largest town
in the county, furnishes four-fifths of the
court business and pays generous share
Of the taxes. The cost to our people for
attending court amounts to several thou
sand dollars each year in the way of rail-
road fares and legal fees. Springer, be-
ing much smaller place, necessarily has
less business in the courts, and should the
county seat be removed, the cost to the
people for attending court would be
trifiing. II is not Just TO make the larger
number suffer for the benefit of the
smaller, and therefore IL is no more than
right that the county seat should be To-
Gated 10 Ration.

ment of aericulture's weekly crop bull

While somewhat too cool for the best
results over the more nor.herly dis
trlcts, with excessive heat in the
southern States, the week has, upon

Cotton has made rapid growth in
Oklahoma and Texas, AID a general

of the cotton belt. however, the re-
ports generally indicate that the plant

Considering that last year the mnr-
ders and homicides in the United
States are known to have exceeded,
10000, and in six years have reach
ed $4,000, the hangings by Judge
Lynch have not been so numerous as
some think. They are less now than
ten or twelve years ago In 1885
they were 1874; in 1891, 176 in
1892, 235 (; in 1893, zoo. But in
1895 they were but al. We grant
that they were al too many. But
crime had increased greatly, from
$500 or 5000 a few years ago to
more than 10000 in 1896. The num-
Der of hangings by the reg
ular courts was but little over 100.

is guilty you are mistaken Last

Kentucky B. and LIS Break

Louisville. Ky. July 2.-Within
y hours four building and loan as
sociations whose estimated assets and
liabilities each foot up over a mil
lion and quarter dollars, have gone
to the wall in this city, finding it i'm
possible to conduct business under
the recent decision of the court of
appeals in regard to the legal rate of
interest
The Kentucky Citizeus' Building
and Loan association went under this
morning with assets and liabilities of
$4,000 each. President Fred
Hoertz said that before the con-
stitutionality of the law under which
building and loan associations operated
in this State was attacked, they were
prospering, but since the appellate
court had decided that all interest
charged or collected ever 6 per cent
constituted usury, that they found it
impossible to carry on business ex-
cept at a loss He said that he
thought all, or nearly every such
corporation in the State that did
business under the law referred to
would go under.
at the Offices of all the building
and loan companies in the State the
greatest uneasiness prevails and stock
holders are hourly giving notice Of
Withdrawals 1t is the general opin-
ion among local fnanciers that the
building and oan business has suffered
its death blow in Kentucky and thou
sands and perhaps millions of dollars
will be lost to the shareholders in
these institutions.
