CROWDS
Of HOLIDAY
SHOPPERS
Can Nov Be Seen on Streets and
in Stores, and Business is
Consequently Brisk.

Christmas shopping is now in fun
blast, and from appearances on the
streets and in the various places Of
business yesterday and last night,
every store in the city is doing a
hOurishing trade.
The ladies, as usual were the main
buyers, and in some of the stores the
rush was so great that customers We're
compelled TO wait for some time be-
fore they could find a salesman to
supply their wants The inclement
weather during the first portion Of
the week prevented many ladies from
visiting the stores. but during the past
two days the lost time has been more
than made up, and every store and
business house has done an excep-
tiOnally good business. Today and to-
night, however, will witness the great
est rush, as it will be the last day
which persons will have to make their
Christmas purchases, and all Of the
stores viii probably remain open I'M
til midnight
The streets Of the city were crowd
ed throughout the day and until late
last night, and no one could forget the
fact that the holiday season was near
at hand. for on every side happy and
cOntented faces could be seen.

Commission Decides that the

announced its decision ia an opinion
by Commissioner Cockrel. tn the
case of r.. C.. Brabham ct al. against

riers' charge for passenger fare from

miles is eighty cents and from Jack
son. s.. c.. Co Augusta, Ga. fifteen
miles. sixty cents. and these fares
are alleged to be unreasonable. The
local passenger fares in South Caro-
Ina and Georgia are controlled by q
maximum of three cents per mile nX-
ed by state authority The distance
cor cred between the points named is
sia the Charleston d. Western Caro-

rights over part of the other line. All

rs cen EllentOn or Jackson and Au-
gusta are turned over % the Charies-
ton q Western Carolina Railway Com
paly. The financial condition OF the
Charleston a. Western Carolina Rail-
way Company is poor. The country
along this line of road. though long
settled. Is sparsely inhabited and the
traffic is light
The Commission holds first. that

BOWLING GREEN
BANK FAILURE
Big Institution Closes Its
Doors.

BOWLING GREEN, KY, April 21.--
This afternoon P. j. Potter's Sons, the
oldest bank 10 Warren County, which
was considered the safest and most re-
liable 10 Southern Kentucky, made an
assignment for the benefit of its credit
ors Col. E. L. Mottely is the assignee
The assignment came like clap of
thunder from clear sky and will gen.
orally involve many business interests
10 the city and county, as the bank did
large business and had many, deposit
ors. The last quarterly statement
showed pepcsits amounting to about
$3.50 900 The institution has been do.
ing good business and the assignment
is said to have been caused by the fact
that they have had great deal of
money out which they could not get in,
and the further fact that the Louisville
banks refused them loans to meet the
immediate demands that were being
made upon them. 1t is claimed that
the bank will be able to pay the deposit
tors dollar for dollar out of its assets
without touching its real estate, which
is worth $25l.600
The bank did buelness as usual to-
day up to the regular closing hour. The
other three banks of the city have been
cognizant of the situation for several
days, and have secured and placed more
than sufficient funds to paw all their de-
positors If run should be mace upon
them.

AFTER MARSHAL
OVERALL'S JOB
Col. A. M. Hughes Presence
In Nashville Gives Rise to
Rumors About the
Pie Counter.

The presence Of Col. A. M. Hughes,
postmaster at Columbia, 10 the city Fri-
day gave rise TO considerable speculation
as to the probable distribution OF Federal
pie that will.De made to tile faithful in
this vicinity within the next year. 1t is.
generally believed by those who keep up,
with such matters that the genial Column
bia postmaster is looking with longing
eyes 10 the direction of the Marshal's
office. 1t is known that Marshal Overall
would not refuse g appointment, and
it Is said that John W. Oliver. OF Cooke
vile, Deputy Internal Collector, not.
withstanding the unsatisfactory ending
of his contest for Collector. four months
ago, will also be an applicant for Mar
shall.
Col. Hughes was receptive candidate
for Revenue Collector when Judge Nc
Call was promoted and his friends be-
lieve that his party service demands a
better reward han the Columbia post
mastership. Col. Hughes would neither
deny nor confirm the report that he
would apply for Mr.. Overall's place, but
there is litt doubt that his present in
tentions are to do So The attitude Of
Boss Brownlow who will almost beyond
peradventuIe name the successful appli-
cant, is matter of some speculation
While Marshal Overall was originally an
Evans adherent, 10 the convention of last
year he supported Littleton and the
Browniow programme, anu his support
ers claim that he wil have the support
of the powerful boss.
Both Oliver and Hughes have for
many years been faithful lieutenants Of
Brownlow and Col. Hughes has the adj
ditional advantage of having been the
original Littleton supporter. 1t may be
that Divers race for Collector against
the boss man. Mr.. Uol1well. has injured
his chances for promotion. but his friends
insist otherwise Nashville American.
