An Old Journal.

T. NJ Baker brought to the Journa
office, Tuesday, a copy of the Journal
of February 25, 1864. 1t was at that
time published daily during the session
of the Legislature. Besides the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature it has hall
a column each devoted to the progress
of the Civil War. European news and
affairs of the country. 1t also has n
speech of Colonel Taylor of Tennessee,
which was delivered before the Legis-
lature on the occasion of the reception
to General Burnside.
The old paper was found by Mrs
Baker, Tuesday morning, when she
was rumaging among old papers and
articles 1t has been in their posses
sion ever since the time it was printed
At that time the Journal was small
four page paper which now would be
laughed at as a representative paper
1t was about the size of the patent
medicine papers which are now thrown

A TRADING STAMP WAR.
Augusta Board Of Trade Votes to Influence
Legislation Against Il.

The Augusta Board of Trade has de-
clared war upon trading stamps, prize
packages and the like, and they have
chosen the Legislature as their field
of battle, the coming winter.
meeting of the board was held,
Tuesday evening, at the room of the
city council, at which many of the
merchants of the city were present.
All declared their animosity to the
trading stamp, as well as to the entire
premium system.
The meeting was presided over by
President c. S. Hichborn, who ex-
planned the object of the meeting,
which was to see what action the board
would take in the matter of co-operat-
ing with the merchants for the enact
ment of law against trading stamps
and the premium system. He read the
law against the system in Massachu-
sets, which was amended in June, to
cover all the loop holes that had been
discovered.
Remarks were made by r. w. Soule,
Fred Hamlen, Nathan Weston, NJ. S.
Holway. G. T. Halves. Lendall Tit
comb, C. II. Mason, HI. l.. Sherbourne
+. l.. Webber. Those who had tried
the manner of advertising their goods,
were heartily disguised with it, while
the two legal gentlemen were of the
same opinion of it, Mr.. Holway
thought the law would be constitu-
tional, as it had for so many years
been in operation in Massachusetts,.
One of the gentlemen thought a law
could not be passed that would be
powerful enough to prevent mans
giving away whatever he chose, and
this was conceded. 1T is not the mat
ter of giving away" said some of the
men, but the matter of advertising
the presents that should be stopped"
Many of the merchants of the city
have already agreed to stop using the
stamps, while others have stopped
without an agreement. A few still re-
fuse to give it up. Many say they have
derived no benefit by giving per cent
of their entire receipts and wish to
have something done to have all tC
stop as we'll as themselves.
A committee was appointed t.
draught a petition to the Legislature
asking that a law be passed prohibit
ing trading stamp schemes, a law SINH
lar to- the one adopted by the state O.
Massachusetts. They also voted to asl
the cooperation in the matter of the
other boards of trade throughout thu
State. This committee is composed

Bank Examiner f. f. Timberake is en-
gagged upon a work that will be of inter-
est when it is completed, as we'll as be-
ing of value to the department.. 1t Will
be of especial value to the arguments for
savings institutions. This work is the
compiling of a sort of a history of the
savings banks of .ne State of Maine,
since they were organized in 1919
Mr.. Timheriake does not call it a his
tory. as he is too modest a man to be one
who would pose as an historian. Yet
his work when completed, will be of that
nature.
One would perhaps not imagine what u
task Mr. Undertake has upon his hands,
but when it is known that previous 10
four years ago, there is nothing in the
reports tangible to base his figures and
facts upon, it will be seen that some 9TH
er plan will have to be Brought to bear.
In the past reports of the savings
banks. there is nothing to tell when
bank was organized nor when 1t ceased
doing business. All that can be learned
from the reports, is that such a bank was
for time in existence, and that it ceased
to exist, no particulars being given.
There have been many banks in eXis-
tence since the first one in 1919 and in
fact a great many more than one would
suppose. The only way that it can be
learned how many banks there were, Is
constant inquiry, and from what few re-
cords there are to work from: Mr.. Tim
berlake will learn when each bank was
established, what it's capital stock was,
how long it continued in business, how
much was deposited, when and why 1t
ceased to transact business.
One of the great things that will be
brought out in the history. is the amount
Of deposits that have been lost during the
many years. Many say that the amount
that has been lost in the entire - years
will not amount to so much as one years
dividend at the present time In all
there has been fully $300, 000,0 900 deposited
and of that an estimate has been made
that not over 81 000, 900 has been lost. I'm
der the ordinary class of investments %
per cent would have been lost, so the fig
ures will make great argument in favor
If savings institutions.
OF course all aid that any one in the
state can give Mr. Timberlake. will be
greatly appreciated by him. and will eX-
oedite the compilation.
