REDUCED IT'S INTEREST RATE.
Southern Bank Savings Department
VIII Pay 3k Per Cent. Hereafter.

Southern Bank Savings Department
VIII Pay 3h Per Cent. Hereafter.
The Southern Bank has announced a re-
duction of one-half of l per cent. in the
rate of interest paid in it's savings depart
ment, beginning April /. The bank has
been paying deposltors in the savings de-
partment per cent. annually, but after
April l only S1a per cent will be paid. The
Southern Bank has nearly 100000 of de-
posits in its savings departments.
Vice President Horace Crane of the
Southern Bank, when seen yesterday. said
that under present business conditions
with the lax demand for money il was a
very difficult matter to earn per cent. in
terest on the large deposit in the savings
department, and the bank felt justified I'M
der the circumstances in reducing the rate
of interest Reliable securities being very
much in demand at present, Mr.. Crane ex-
planned, 1t is difficult to procure securities
which will net more than 315 per cent. AS
the savings banks chiefly depend upon in
vestment in securities of the best class the
present condition of the market places
them at a disadvantage.

The annual meeting of the Georgia His
torical Society will be held tomorrow
night in the society's hail, at Whitaker

two exceptions.
There are two vacancies on the board of
curators, including the position of second
vice-president of the society occupied by
Judge William D. Harden. Another sec
ond vice-president will be chosen, and
another curator will be chosen to fill the
vacancy created by the removal from the
city Of Mr.. Chas. N. West. Both of these
were members of the board of managers
of the Telfalr Academy.
1t is probable also that another treasurer

having signiied his intention of resigning.
Judge MacDonell has held the office for
two years.
Another important feature will be the re-
port of the finance committee. The Geor-

its finances during the last year by some
$500 or 5000 and this falling off is feature
which VIII have to be remedied. 1t Is not
known just what the society will do in
this respect, but there is some talk of cut
ting salaries, as well as of working I'D a
larger membership. This subject was dis
cussed once before and 1t was then found
necessary TO dispose of the sinking fund
for the purpose of paying the Indebtedness
of the society. A committee may be APP
pointed to suggest some plan for looking

Col. Gordon Impressed With the
Manufacturers Meeting.
Col. W. w. Gordon returned to the city
yesterday from Atlanta. where he attend
ed the convention held with a view to
Developing state manufactures. Col. Cor
don expressed himself as very much pleas
ed with the convention.
81 think can say that 1t was the finest
body of men I have had the pleasure of
meeting with in a long time" he said
''The attendance was large and the con-
vention was thoroughly representative of
the various interests Of the state. Manu-
facturers and business men predominated,
of course, but other occupations were rep
resented. even to clerical labor. 1t was
a thoroughly business like body, and the
men who were there understood what
they had come for. There was compara-
lively little unnecessary discussion, and
the body was unusually harmonious. The
best feature was not any action of the
convention itself, but the fact that such
an interest in this subject should be dis
played by the leading business men from
all sections of the state. 1t augurs well
for the future of the manufacturing in
dustry in this state"
Full reports of the action OF the con-
vention have already been published in the
Morning News. The legislature will he
memoriallzed to take the necessary steps
to allow a vote 10 be taken on constitu,
tional amendment permitting municipali-
ties and counties TO exempt manufacuir-
ing industries from taxation for a period
of ten years after their inauguration The
representatives from Savannah at the
convention were Col. Gordon and Mr.
Lewis Haskell from the Cotton Exchange.
and Mr. l. c.. Haas and Mr.. A b. Moore
from the Board Of Trade. There were
eeventy-nine mayors in the convention.

NAV entail must be chccrfully borne. we
must accomplish the work We have set
out 10 accomplish, no matter what the
cost. At the same time, the financial re-
cord" we have presented, and the posi-
bnitles in the form of long-continued ana
grinding taxation involved In the new
policy are things that cannot DO Kept too
prominently before the people. They are
among the strongest arguments that
could be adduced for Democratic control
OF the next House. Whether rhere Is To
be early peace, as We confidently expect
or not, they show the necessity OF econo-
my--a word which we know by sad ex-
perience is not in the Republican voeabu-
larry.
II the war is 20 continue for any length
of time, we must husband our resources
as far as may be consistent with vigorous
prosecution OF II. When II ends the hrst
duty 20 the masses will be to seek means
Of gradually relieving them OF the extra
taxation the war necessitated. That the
Republican party can be trusted to meet
the requirements OF either OF these con-
tingencies no one acquainted with Us
record imagines Indeed. it is serious
question whether II has not made ex-
travagant provisions already for con-
Quoting the war, especially In the matter
Of the bond issue, and 1t takes but very
simple calculation to show that the car
rying out Of It's policy OF expansion would
probably mean the fastening upon the
people in perpetuity OF the slJO,OOo.0o of
war taxes.
In the coming campaign, therefore
the Democrats will have Il strong cause
before the people, irrespective of the
bearing of expansion upon our form OF
government and our institutions They
will have the cause of safeguarding the
people against extravagant appropriations
and the unnecessary perpetuation OF one
rous taxation. This remains true, whether
the drift Of events shall compel us to
hold permanently Spanish territory we
may invade or not. or that the compare
tive records of the two parties leave 10
doubt.
