DO BANK EXAMINATIONS
AMOUNT TO ANYTHING
BARNESVILLE. Ga. ]


To the Editor of The Journal:
1 notice that the state bank examiner.
is again out on his tour of the state. A
few lcitizens of this community would like
to know for what purpose is this tour.
Again. what protection do these periodi-
determinations of the state banks give
to the depositors and creditors. The facts
brought out by the failure of the two
banks in GAINESVILLE make the above
questions very pertinent ones.
It is very evident from the statements
and facts made public by the receivers
of the two banks, that one of them has
been insolvent for at least twelve months
and the other for several years. These
banks were operating under charters from
the state of Georgia, yet fhe/ provisions
and requirements of those charters have
been apparently violated for years. Was
il not the duty of the state bank ex-
aminer TO know these facts? Did not the
depositors in said banks have right 70
expect that the state bank examiner
would find out these facts and make them
known for their protection? If the state
bank examiner cannot detect the insolv-
ency of a state bank during period OF
several years what use has the state Tor
such an official? The bare fact that the
state bank examiner did o. k. these banks
twice during the year 1901 should nave
been SUFFICIENT evidence that they were
solvent ana conforming u the icdeAAc-
ments Of their respective charters. II
there IS a defect in the law. change the
law. If the power of the state bank ex-
aminer is not sufficient. make it so. II the
law is perfect and the examiner has the
power. then the state should be held liable
for such disastrous results from the TAIL
ure Of banks which are operating ana re-
ceiving business under the endorsement o.
the state bank examiner. 1t is at least
case worthy of the attention of the treas
urer Of the state of Georgia.

That letter which Mr.. Berner wrote Mr..
Query is still the talk in political
circles. Mr. Query has not yet made the
correction asked for by Mr.. Berner. but 1t
is understood that he said that he believes
that Mr.. Berner had absolutely no con-
nection with the telegram, and did not
know of the existence of such telegram
until some time after the senatorial con-
vention. which was I'm session in Forsyth,
adjourned. And II may be that he will
make such a statement in his next speech,
which will be at Cumming, in Forsyth
county.
1t is said that Mr.. Berner objects to the
word then which appeared in Mr.. Guer-
RVS card to The Journal on Saturday.
The sentence is as follows: "All of this
information I feel that I have right TO
use not only as an opposing candidate OF
Mr. Terrell. but as a citizen of Georgia
and of the twenty-second senatorial dis
trict. and especially as an active partic-
ipant in the Bibb county Democratic meet
ing referred to, taking the part / did In
Il. and as I then thought an Mr.. Berner' s
cause and in the cause OF right and cor
rect politics"
All efforts to get a statement from Mr..
Berner have failed. It is being told
around that he is simply waiting for the
correction asked for. and in the event he
does not hear from such correction he
may participate in captains fight" as
is called by Mr.. Query. Mr.. Potts, the
author of the telegram referred to, still
declines to be interviewed on the subject
and at the Terrell headquarters no state
ment will be made.
Mr. Query may dwell on the subject
some more before he closes his campaign.
He seems to have his Information pretty
straight and he has not hesitated so far
TO give his views on the subject. MT
Guerry says that he Is well pleased with
his campaign so far. and that ne is re-
ceiving every encouragement from the
voters of the state. He intends going In
To every county in Georgia before the END
Of the campaign. I saw Mr.. Guerry and
his campaign manager, W. +. Blue, IN
Macon Sunday and both seemed CONN.,
dent that Mr.. Guerry would be elected
Mr. Query says he is standing ne cam
paien very well. and that he is enjoying
unusually good health.
The following statement has been furn-
ished me by the Associated Query clubs
headquarters in Atlanta:
Hon. j. NJ. Terrelrs campaign man
aeer. in the beginning of this campaign
started out by claiming 40 counties OF the
state as certain for Mr.. Terrell in this

claim was a mere assertion made IoI

COTTON GROWERS, -.-
LETTER FRoM7TExAs

LETTER FROM TEXAS
e,s CORRESPONDENT
BY this time most cotton growers have
decided whether they will increase or de-
crease the acreage of their cotton crop,
and in planting for the crop of 1901-03 they
should not overlook the fact that last
years acreage was increased about per
cent over the crop OF 1900. While 1t is well
known that an increased acreage does not
always result in a larger production. it is
certain, nevertheless, to furnish lever
fortthe success of cotton futures by which
they force a lower level of prices for Sep
TENDER and October deliveries of cotton
by the producers. Those who keep posted
on cotton market conditions certainly have
not forgotten how low down the gamblers
in futures sold the market prices for Sep
TENDER and October. last June when the
bureau report showed an increased acre
age. They-the future sellers-at that
time-felt sure of being able to sell Sep
TENDER and October down to six cents in
New York, which would have meant 4 IL
and cents to cotton growers when they
commenced to sell. But for the unprece-
dented drouth that soon set in in Texas
and other portions of the cotton belt. the
future sellers would have succeeded. The
result would have been that the crop, in
stead of bringing about cents to the pro-
ducers would not have brought over s.
difference, about $40 per bale
Cotton growers of our cotton growing
states have 1t in their power to guard
against. growing and selling cotton for less
than cost. They can. if they will, always
make cotton paying crop. To do it they
must first determine not to depend on cot
ton to buy their hog. hominy and forage
supply Be prepared to keep cotton off
the market when it brings no profit above
cost Of production. Cooperate in the
movement so as to keep up competition
between foreign and domestic spinners
for monthly supplies of working cotton.

c. H F., Jackson, Ca:
AS / am a subscriber for The Journal,
I would like to be Informed as to the best
formula TO mix acid and cotton seed meal
and potash, suitable for corn and cotton
on a light. sandy soil.
Answer-sandy soils usually require a
larger percentage of potash than our REQ
lands. You cannot make a very nigh grade
goods out of mixture where cotton seeo
meal is used as a oasis for ammonia and
KANT for potash. Still there is no better
combination as far as 1t goes. With
phosphoric acid analysing IA per cent
available plant food mix the formula IN
the following proportions:
Phosphoric acid, 1000 pounds; cotton
seed meal. 500 pounds; KANT, 500 pounds.
Total. 1900 pounds.
This formula, counting the phosphoric
acid and potash in the cotton seed meal
will analyze about as follows:
Phosphoric acid, available per cent;
ammonia, 2 per cent: potash, IL per
cent. Total available plant food, l3 IL
per cent.
This formula should give you good re-
suits on the ordinary sandy soils OF this
state. provided you use 1t literally say
$50 to 800 pounds per acre.

, friends of the opposition, to indicate with
mathematical certainty the exact number
of counties that Mr. Query will carry,
but the reports from every part of the
state to this Office and the information
from various sources here received assure
us of the fact that Query will be over
whelmingly elected.
1--WE are assured that this race is not to
be controlled and won according to the
dictation of aself-interested political c.aque
nor by the money influence of powerful
railroad and liquor combinations.
1.-The political and civic conscience of the
commonwealth demands the election of
Mr. Query. From consideration of abili-
| ty, purity in public affairs, freedom from
corporate domination and liquor control,
J and equal rights to all citizens and all
classes. From indications received at this
ofice the people are aroused upon these
vital principles and Dupont Query will
be elected accordingly the next chief mag
| istrate of this good old state
Robert Hodge, one of the most prom
inent young attorneys in the state, is
again a candidate for solicitor general of
| the Macon circuit, and his friends are
claiming already that he will be elected.
Mr.. Hodges has held the position before,
and made an admirable official. In
seven-cornered race in 1900 he was defeat
ed bv a majority of nine votes by the late
Hone Polhill. Mr.. Hodges is very popular
with the people of the state who are
watching his race with great interest. He
served several terms In the legislature,
and has a widespread acquaintance. When
, solicitor general before Mr.. Hodges was
connected with some of the most import
ant cases ever on the docket of the cir
| cult, and he handle~ all Of them with
great ability.
B. F. Perry, editor of the Canton Ad-
vance. is in the legislative mix-up this
year in Cherokee county. Mr.. Perry is
| one of the best known editors in the state
! and has been for years member OF the
! Georgia Press association. 1t is said that
! there is but little doubt about his election.
\ Mr.. Perry has advised the legislature
what to do for years and years, and may
| be as they have failed to follow the ad-
vice of any Of the newspaper men, he
| has decided to come down in person and
see IL the members won't listen, If not
! read.
CONGRESSMAN Fleming has fatty de-
+, cNned to meet T. w. Hardwick, his OPP
| ponent for congress on the stump. on the
ground that he has not the time to leave
| his official duties. Mr.. Hardwick Is very
anxious for a joint discussion with Mr..
( Fleming and the announcement OF the
congressman is disappointing to the as
pirant. Hardwick is making great cam
paign and his friends are confident OF mis-
| election.

AnSwer-UnleSs the chemist by his anal
ysis can show the amount of soluble and
insoluble plant food in-the soil, it is i'm
possible to find out just what your soil
is deficient in except by careful expert
ment in fertilization of the different crops.
Your analysis shows a large percentage Of
insoluble matter. which may or may not
be largely soluble under certain condi-
tions. 1t is only the soluble plant foods
which are valuable to the growing crops.
I should say that your land was better off
in nitrogen than in either phosphoric acid
or potash. that is, your plants grow a
good stalk, but do not fruit up so well.
would, therefore. suggest for the crops
named. that is. corn and sugar cane. that
you use a fertilizer analyzing as follows:
Phosphoric acid. available. 10 per cent;
ammonia. per cent; potash, per cent.
Total, IL per cent.
Or that you secure a fertilizer as near
that proportion as possible, and use go
pounds per acre under the corn and 500
pounds per acre under the sugar cane.
For watermelons and potatoes buy or mix
a fertilizer that will analyze as follows:
Phosphorus acid, available. per cent;
ammonia. per cent? potash, per cent.
and apply from 300 to 500 pounds per acre.
