The extraordinary revelation was
made at a recent meeting of the State
Savings Bank association of New
York, says Leslie's Weekly, that there
was in the savings banks OF the EN-
pire state 81, 500, 900 in dormant &C
counts. The savings banks OF New
York state now hold about $500, 030,-
600 OF the peoples money and the
dormant accounts of $500, 900 re-
main without any evidence that their
owners will ever call for them. Some
Of them have been dormant for over
so years. One bank in the city of
Albany reports that i is unclaimed ac-
counts aggregated over $27, 900. Some
of these accounts have claimants who
will appear in due season. We must,
indeed, be rich and prosperous
nation when we can overlook a little
item of over $1,5OO,OOO lying un-
claimed in the savings banks of a
single state.

With all our devotion TO hurry,
there should he long pause before
slow transit of the canal is given up.
Where these channels are owned by the
state they are an important check upon
railroad rates for carry ing certain
bulky materials. A turbine system
gaining its power from trolley wire
gives hope, too, of greater speed with
a minimum of washing. An over
head cable is also promising posi-
bilitY.

Gambler, Fla, May 13.-The prospects for
the melon crop in this section are very
promising. Thousands Of young melons
are now on the vines as large as a quart
cup. The weather is very dry and farm
ers are apprehensive lest the growth of
the young melons will be retarded II
rain comes in reasonable time several
cars a day should be ripe by June 10. Veg
etables are about all shipped, and prices
have been very satisfactory. Cucumbers
are now going forward in large quanti-
ties daily
Farmers in this section have planted
hundreds of acres in the velvet bean, the
great stock and forage plant Those who
planted last year and saved the beans
have found a ready market for them at
good prices The discovery of this plant
means a great deal for the farmers of
Georgia and Florida. Cattle eat the beans
readily and fatten on them. For fattening
hogs they are as good as corn. This bean
grows luxuriantly on the poorest sandy
land.
DR.. T. ]. Myers. for twenty-five years
a resident of this section, has located at
Bowling Green, Fla, and is now moving
his stock of cattle to that place.
