TO RAISE BEEF CATTLE.
Bynum and Rebman Will Esabiish
Ranch Near Courtland.

Ranch Near CORTLAND.
CORTLAND. Aug. 4--(speciaL)-H. d.
Bynum and A. F. Rebman have decided
upon the establishment Of a cattle ranch
for the breeding Of high grade beef cat
tie. They own several hundred acres Of
land on Spring Creek which they propose
to cut up into pastures and stock with
the best native helfers they can buy.
They will use thoroughbred bulls and
hope within a few years to establish .
br eed Of cattle that will find ready saie
in the beef market.
Spring Creek, upon which the lands OF
Bynum and Rebman lie. is filed with .
moss that seems to be relished more
than anything else by cattle. Cows will
wade out into the middle Of The creek
and stick their heads down in the water
beyond their eyes hunting for this moss.
All OF the pastures will open on thia
creek and 1t Is thought that this moss
will aid in cheapening the feed bills.

RusseilviIle. Aug 4-(Speciai.) 1.-The
County Democratic Executive Committee
met here Saturday and revoked its form
er action ordering a convention to nomi-

primary election Instead for August rs.
The utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed and there is no question Of the
Democrats carrying the County by good
majority over any ticket the combined
opposition can put out.
After adjournment an informal poll OF
the Committee for Governor resulted In
somewhat of a surprise. Every member
present voted for Governor Jelks. As the
Committee Is made up Of one leading
Democrat from each polling place In the
County, this indicates that the former
Governor is not in 1t in Franklin. In the
Clarke-J ohnston contest Franklin was the
banner Johnston County, not a single

RUN ON DETROIT BANK
+ 1T WAS STARTED ABOUT NOON
YESTERDAY.
Jefferson Avenue Branch of Dime
Savings Bank Will Pay De-
positors in Full-Kept Open
Until 9 O'clock.

Detroit, Mich. Feb. PA run was start
ed on the Jefferson Avenue branch Of the
Dime Savings Bank about noon today.
anc soon after o'clock it spread to the
bank itself, at the corner OF Griswold AMI
Fcrt Streets.
Depositors were paid as fast as the
account could be closed up and the cur
rency could be counted out Ats o'clock
the regular hour for closing the bank, 1t
was crowded with anxious depositors and
the line of people who wanted to close
their accounts extended through the door
and some distance down Fort Street. In
stead of closing the bank, the directors
decided to hold open until o'clock. The
receiving teller and his assistant dropped
their usual work and assisted in paying
the depositors. Until 6 o'clock accounts
were closed as rapidly as possible. AT
that hour the line of people waiting for
admission to the bank extended down
Fort Street for almost block. President
Livingston addressed them frcm the steps
of the bank and said that while the bank
would now close, 1t would open at 3
o'clock tomorrow and every depositor
would be paid in full. 1t is impossible to
learn what was the direct cause of the
run.
1t Is said that a Polish depositor at the
Jefferson Avenue branch saw sign on
the door Saturday announcing that the
bank was closed because of its being
Washingtons birthday and a legal holi-
day He Is said to have spread the report
that the bank had closed. and thereby
frightened the depositors at the branch.
The news of the run there gradually
spread down town and started the run on
the bank itself.
Help was Immediately offered by the To-
cal banks. 1t was declined, however. the
dime bank having plenty of funds in their
own vaults. Tonight President Livings-
ton said to the Associated Press: Il ex-
pect that the run will be resumed tomor-
row, but I hope that We can break 1t by
tomorrow night. We have ample funds
on hand; and If necessary could have suf-
ficient money in the bank in forty-eight
hours TO pay every depositor In full None
of our commercial accounts have been
withdrawn. the nervousness being con-
fined entirely to the savings depositors."
