tract now existing between the State and

sembly and except as to the names of

THE STATES MONEY
AND THE BANKS
A Compromise of the Warren
Bill Proposed.
BANKS TO PAY INTEREST
No Discrimination as to Whether They
Are State or National.
TWO BANKS ARE NOW PAYING INTEREST
The Others Have Large Sums Of the States
Money All the Time For the Use Of
Which They Do Not Pay
Pannv of Ioferest
Penny Of Interest.

Much interest is being manifested in
the Warren bill which provides that the
State Treasurer shall deposit the State
money only in State banks.
Naturally the State banks and their
friends are warmly advocating the meas
ure. BY the same token the national
banks and all the influence they can COM
mand are bitterly fighting it.
A compromise seems probable. AMI by
way Of compromise the following has been
proposed: s@
That the State Treasurer shall deposit
the States money in only such banks as
are willing TO pay interest thereon, as in
the case of individual deposits: and in
doing this no discrimination is to be
made as to banks-whether they are
State or national.
The States money is now deposited in
FIVE Raleigh banks. Two of them are
paying interest on their deposits and
three of them are not The question is
being asked, why this discrimination
If one bank pays interest why not all?
Banks in a number of other States pay
interest on public moneys, why not in
North Carolina ?"
Such questions as these are what has
started a sentiment among the legisla-
tors for a compromise bill as a substitute
for the Warren bill. On this compromise
also it is expected that the State and
National banks will get together-in OPP
position to it. 1t is, however. of such
paipable advantage to the State that it
is believed there will be little opposition
TO IL among the members in case it is
proposed and urged for passage.
1t was reported yesterday that Treas
urer Lacy was fighting the Warren bill.
This. however proved to be untrue. A
News and Observer reporter called on
Mr.. Lacy and asked his views on the
proposed measure. He said:
4 think it in bad taste for me to either
support any such measure, or try to have
it defeated. If the Legislature passes
any laws in regard to the Treasurer
shall execute them"
rs there now any discrimination made
between banks in placing the State de-
posits2" he was asked.
None. Both State and national banks
are used for this purpose. Most of the
money is put in the Raleigh banks-one
State, two national and two savings
banks. The amounts in the savings banks
are small"

States money is deposited pay Interest,"

Last year the State made deposits in 60

the two Raleigh savings banks, paid in

and used.

Senator Simmons Not Alarmed.

Senator Simmons. who has just re-
turned from a trip to Newbern. was seen
yesterday by a News and Observer repor-
ter in regard to the suggested attack on
his credentials as Senator.
He said: Il am not in the least
alarmed. The men who are making the
attempt can no more succeed than they
could remodel the institutions OF the
government. They would do both if they
could"

Man having lost his exclusive privilege
as provider for womanisind seems also in
danger of losing his prerogative as pro-

evil, a delinquent suitor. The Eveiinas
and Cecilias of few years ago swooned
at the sight of burglar. were equally
and permitted unrequited love to rob them
of their sleep and their bloom. But now
all such seeming disasters are looked upon
a. opportunities for "self-revelation" and
individual development" and to miss
them is to arrest the growth of the soul.
The charm of this calmly unafraid''
damsel of today is that she does not wear
her courage upon her sleeve. but keeps il
hidden behind the shyest of demeanors.

BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
The Presidents Condition of Little
Effect on General Trnde.


NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say.
while speculative markets paused and
then weakened on receipt of the melan-
choly news from Bucalo, strikingly lit
tie effect therefrom appears to have been
exercised upon the general current OF
trade distribution. which, to all appear
ances. is running full and free. From
nearly all branches of trade come re-
ports of heavy business. while such meas
ures of trade development as bank clear
ings and railway earnings all point to a
steady maintenance and even enlargement
of the expansion previously noted in fall
trade. and in leading industries.
Bank clearings are fully one-third
larger than last week in the country, as
a whole, while the reports of heavy mer-
chand;se traffic on the railroads are sup
ported by record-breaking gains in the
amounts of gross earnings for August
and by exceptionally large increases for
September Industrially, the situation is
being helped by the practical dwindling
away of the steel strike
"Crop reports issued of late, some af-
fecting corn, for instance, are not as fav-
orahle as expected from the good local
reports received, but the good advices
from some of the most affected districts
point TO those sections having apparently
discounted the situation with little erect
upon the aggregate business done.
THE features this week, as last, are
the continued good reports as to trade
and collections from the West, North.
