ATTENDANCE is LARGE.
Reports Show How the University's
Popularity Grows.

Athens, Ga, Sept. 23.-Among the
many gratifying features of the open
ing of the University of Georgia is
the great increase in the Department
of Agriculture. The attendance upon
the regular four years course has in
creased to more than four times the
number here last year; the attendance
upon the one year course in agricul-
ture has more than trebled, and the
attendance upon the Short Winter
Course next winter will be at least
double any previous attendance.
The University Law School shows a
decided increase over the attendance
at this time last year. There are now
thirty-two members of this class, which
indicates a total attendance for the
year of almost sixty students as
against forty-six last session. 1t has
been found that the two years course
of study requisite to graduation in
this department has not had the effect
of diminishing the number of students
in law.
Tomorrow night the literary societies
of rhe University of Georgia will meet
for the first time in regular session
at night.
The attendance unon the University,
as shown by the registry books, will
go beyond the figures of last year.
The School of Pharmacy will open on
Oct. l. and the attendance upon that
department will swell the attendance
upon the university. ~''

SAVANNAH BANKS
Make Reports to the Controller of

Rv p NJ Tarper

By r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, Sept. 23.-The summary
Of the reports of the condition of the
four national banks of Savannah, at the
close Of business on Sept. 9, prepared in
the Office Of the comptroller of the cur
rency to-day, shows that the loans and
discounts amounted to $2090,773. The
lawful money reserve in bank and the
5 per cent. redemption fund with the
$144.142. Individual deposits amounted
to $703,047; United States deposits were
$40, and the deposits of the United
States disbursing officers $63 400.
Other important items were as fol-
lows: Due from national banks mot
banks and bankers, etc, SIS, 731; due
from approved reserve agents,
$221,076; due to other national
banks. $1t3,S26; due to state
banks and bankers. $685.. 274; and due to
trust companies and savings banks,
$79,4z7. The percentage of legal re-
serves to deposits was 24.S7, against
20.26 on June 9 this year, and 2299 on
Sept. 15 last year. The percentage to
uepoSltS OF casn on hand IN the re-
demption fund, and due from reserve
agents was 1907, against 1925 in June
and 1892 last September.
These figures show a better condition
OF the Savannah banks at the present
time than on either of the previous
dates, as indicated by a steady Increase
in the percentage of legal reserves
which is still, however, below the re-
quired rs per cent. The percentage of
cash on hand, etc, is larger than in
June, but smaller than last September.
