GOVERNMENT BANKING.
The MoSt Important Reform Measure Ad-
vooatsd aud the True solution OF
the Money IAAue.


II we could have but one measure OF
reform adopted we would choose gov
ernment banks. Then all the money
lending would be done by the govern
ment, Then interest on money would
never make millionalrei II would
not concentrate the wealth of the MT
tlon In the hands of the few, Look
At compound interest table and you
will see that q small sum at interest
will In few generations amount TO
billions of dollars. II Ia only q Ques'
tlon of time, and not very long time
either, when through interest prNctl-
cally all the wealth Of the people OF
this country win be In the hands OF n
very few people, Government banks
could receive the deposits of the peo-
pie and loan them out and In this way
LEI money 10 everybody that could
assume repayment, The interest
would not need TO be more than two
per cent a year, and at this rate the
banks would be so profitable that II ~
n question whether any taxes Ot all
would be necessary, Capital (rendy
money! and labor would thus he
brought together, Interest would In
effect be distributed among all the
people. "All this Is true we mag
Inc we hear somebody say, "but with
the increase Of government officials
the pnrty In power would be hard to
beat" Not 50 hard us now, So far
no party out Of power has ever been
able to win except by making terms
with the banks, The banks are now
in politics as the following letter
clearly shows

Under present private banking sys-
tenn banker may be interested to
the extent OF hundreds Of thousands
of dollars n year in clccting his purity
but under government banking the
main man Of the same bank would be
interested only to the extent OF hold

probably not he much greater than
he could make in other cnlllngs, and
so he would not he apt to put up

Mass Meeting Tomorrow at
 First Methodist Church

The women of the various churches of Woodlawn, Avondale, East Lake, Thomas, Ensley, Bessemer Pratt City, North Bir- mingham and Fountain Heighths are ur gently requested to be present at the meet ing that Birmingham women have called for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the parlors of the First Methodist church, when committees are to be formed and the plans fully discussed for the proposed en- tertainment to be given for the benefit of the Hillman hospital.
 After the informal meeting held the past week 1t was announced through the papers that a number of the phianthropic women of the city had determined upon immedi- ately raising a fund for the erection of the new hospital building that is to be built upon the site occupied by the present quar- ters At this meeting many of the most prominent women in Birmingham were present and pledged their hearty co-opera- tion to any movement looking to the rais- ing of a hospital fund. The suggestion that an entertainment of unusual beauty and brilliancy should be given for the ben eft of the hospital was practically agreed upon, and at the meeting tomorrow definite plans will be reached. It is, therefore, inI- portant that all philanthropic women in the city and suburbs lend their presence that the movement may receive unanimous cooperation.

Election ot Directors.

The work of electing directors of depart ments of the Birmingham Woman's club will be completed this week, and the result will be announced at the meeting on Satur- day. The election of directors is the work of the officers. At the next meeting of the club the summer plans will be fully dis cussed and report concurring in the let ting of the club rooms for the summer months will be acted upon The depart ment meetings will be abandoned and the only occasion for assembling will be to dis cuss some matters that will come before the board of control The club quarters are so commodious and attractive that the sugges- ton to let the apartments during the club s vacation met with great favor, as i, was believed that there would be little trouble in securing tenants, thereby lessening the clubs expenses for the summer rnonths At the next meeting Mrs Zac Smith, the newly elected president, will preside in accordance with recently amended bylaw relating to the installation of officers. The occasion will probably be the last at which Mrs. Smith will be present before going abroad and the meeting will therefore be particu- larly important.

YOUNG MAN TRIED
 TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Called For Coca Cola But Poured Carbolic Acid Into the Glass aud Drank
 1t He will Recover

Florence, June 6.-(Special )-Thomas B. of age, tried to commit suicide yesterday afternoon by taking carbolic acid. Lock- hart, who is the clerk at the Commercial hotel, walked into Miners drug store about 6 o'clock and asked for glass of COCO cola, calling to one of the clerks in the drug store that he had better come up to the front of the store if he wished to see him die. When the coco cola was handed him he drew from hls coat pocket an ounce bottle of carbolic acid and emptied the contents into the glass. He then turned the glass to his lips and drank the contents before he could be stopped. The first swallow of the poison gagged him, and he eXpectorated it, but took another swallow quickly.
 Warrenton Echard the young man who waited upon him, rushed from behind the counter and knocked the glass from Lock- harts hand before he could swallow it all, thus undoubtedly saving his life. pr. Ker- nachan was in his office and called immedi- ately. Lockhart refused to swallow an emetic of oil, and it had to be forced down his throat. After working with him for an hour he was taken to his room at the hotel, and is now comparatively out of danger, though during the night when he became able to talk he declared that he could not live any longer. No cause whatever can be assigned for the rash act of the young man. He came here from Louisville, Ky, about six months ago, and was well liked by everybody with whom he had become acquainted, seeming not to have single care,
