BANK BROKE THE RECORD.
Bank Examiner Cooper Praises the
Maury National

Mr.. S. II. l.. Cooper, Federal Bank
Examiner, was here last week, looking
over the books of the Maury National
Bank, and what he said at the hotel
afterwards, we know will be pleasant
reading to the thousands of friends of
that bank.
MIR, Cooper has had years of fexperience
in examining bank books, and is ac-
credited as one of the closest and
shreWdest examiners the government
has. lie was not only well pleased with
the conservative management and gen
eral condition of the bank, its indi
vidual loans, and accounts with other
banks, and how and where they kept
these foreign accounts, but in one par
ticular-and an important one at that
the Maury National, he said, broke the
record. 1t was the only bank he had
ever examined that did not show one
single dollar overdrawn by any customer.
The overdraft system is one of the most
prolific sources of trouble and loss to
banks and their stockholders, and one
of the hardest rules To adhere TO; and a
bank management that shows no over
draft at All, IN the opinion of the
examiner, may be relied upon to manage
ali its affairs with like prudence and
wise judgment.
Mr.. Cooper is just finding out what
all of US nave known for these many
months.

NASHVILLE, April l6.-There were
several stirring debates in the House
during the afternoon session yester-
day. The first was over the bill to
apply the Dortch election law to
every county in the State. Its de-
feat was a surprise to many. and it
was thought that it would pass.
being Democratic measure. The
opposition came from those mem
bers who represent the smaller
counties and from the minority side
of the house. Mr.. Lancaster, of
Henderson, was the spokesman for
the Republicans, aud his speech was
against the bill, as it applied to any
Sc ction of the State. Two or three
Democrats spoke in opposition to
the bill, and they argued that the
smaller counties did not want it, and
that it would disfranchise hundreds
of Democrats in these counties who
could not read nor write.
Another bill that caused a dislayp
of oratOry was the one to appropriate
81 600 to purchase portraits of Lee
and Forrest for the State Library.
Mr. Claiborne grew especially
eloquent in advocating the passage
of the bill. The bill passed final
reading without a dissenting vote.
The Bashaw dog law came up in
the House as a special order, and
after some discussion was passed by
one vote more than a constitutional
majority. The author opened the
discussion and set out the merits OF
/ his bill.
