A Large Amount of Proposed
Capital Stock Sub
scribed.
SIS, 900 ALL NECESSARY.
People of Small Means Think
Well of New Insti-
tuition.

That there is a difference of opin-
ion as to whether Hopkinsville needs
another bank all know, but when a
deposit bank that will pay interest
after a certain time on deposits is
mentioned to the economical man,
woman or boy, they are glad to hear
of the probability of having place
where they can keep their money
and let it make a little more for
them. Of course that is where small
amounts will be left. Such a bank,
some think, would be of great ad-
vantage to those who are only able
to lay aside a little of their weekly
earnings. 1t would cause such peo-
pie to be economical. They would
gradually become more so each day,
and the general results would be
beneficial to all-men would thus
become more able to pay their debts
and the too general credit system
which prevails would, to a certain
extent, be reduced.
On the other hand, it would seem
that merchants would have no rea-
son to withdraw their business from
the bank which has for so many
years extended favors to them-often
helping them by allowing them to
overcheck their accounts when col
lections were slow. 1t would be the
basest ingratitude for them to do So
Men who are not acquainted with
the banking system cannot figure
out how a bank with $685. capital
can pay salaries, rent, ETC., and come
out at the end of the year with any
profit whatever.
Of course this is the all important
question to be considered. Will it
pay? first enters into every new en-
terprise. The Kentuckian is not
financier enough to figure it out or
a prophet enough to foretell what
would be the result. AS a dissem-
nator of news and working for the
public good, we simply mention the
arguments pro and con, leaving it to
those who are better qualified to
settle the question. We want to see
Hopkinsville grow and keep on
growing. If more banks are neces-
sary, let us have them. If the peo-
pie are to be benefited by a deposit
bank, let it come.
In talk with Mr. Gus Brannon a
few days since he takes a roseate
view of the establishment of depos-
it bank. He thinks it will be profit
able and that paid up capital stock
of $25, 900 is all that will be needed.
He is a practical banker and ought
to know. He may not. He says
that Greensboro has a population a
little less than double that Of Hop
kinsville, and they have twelve
banks. Hopkinsville has four. He
says that the Savings Bank of
Owensboro started twenty years ago
with $4,000 capital, and its business
has been such that today it's capital
is 500, 000-increased by it's earn
ings.
Mr.. Brannon is sanguine as to the
bank he is organizing soon being
opened up. About three-quarters
of the stock has already been sub
scribed by people of the city and
county, and in reply to the question,
"Will it go?" he gave very en-
phatic YES"
We are not offering advice to any
one-gust giving a little Of what we
hear and nothing of what we know.
The people must draw their own
conclusions and act as their better
judgment directs.

Friends of all the candidates
worked hard all day and the result
was in doubt up to the close of the
polls.
DIR. jackson is the present Council
man from the Sixth ward and the
present nomination is for a third
term. All of his nominations have
been won in hot fights, but he has
never been defeated. In his last
race he won by II majority.
Mr.. j. Miller Clark, the nominee
in the First ward, is receiving clerk
at the Crescent Mills, and a young
man of fine character and wide pop
ularity, as is shown by his victory
over one Of the best known and most
popular men in the ward, who had
represented the ward twice before.
Mr.. Clark is only 27 years old, and
will be the youngest city father"
who has ever served in the council.
The heavy vote polled in both
wards shows that Democrats will be
plentiful this fall and abundantly
able to take care of themselves in
the coming contest. The full list of
nominees appears at the head of our
editorial column.

Bristles Were Not Included.

One of the ablest lawyers and advo-
Gates New England ever produced
was Roger Minott Sherman, who"was
also famous for the quickness of his
wit.
A story which fully illustrates
Shernan's powers Of repartee is
quoted by the late Senator Hoar in his
book entitled can Autobiography of
Seventy Years"
On one occasion Sherman was
arguing a case against Nathan Smith,
a very able but rather coarse lawyer.
Mr.. Smith had discussed the question
OF law with the subtlely for which he
was distinguished. Mr.. Sherman said
to the court that he thought Brother
Smiths metaphysics were out of place
in that discussion; that he was not
averse to such refinment at proper
time and would be willing on a fit &C.
casion to chop logic and split hairs
with him.
Smith Immediately pulled hair out
of his own head, and holding it up
said.
"Sp!it that"
Sherman replied quick as lighting:
May it please your honor, I didn't
say bristles."

THE PACIFIC MUTUAL
Life Insurance Cnmpany of California
Organized 1868 On ''Old Line" Plan.

Read what one who is recognized au-
thority on the subject, has to say: ''Of
late the magazines and daily papers
have had much to say by way Of criti-
cism of certain Life Insurance Compa-
MES, and especially with regard to the
Legal Organization Of such Companies,
and of the manner Of their control.
These CRITICISMS do not apply to
. The1 Pacific Mutual, but DEMON
STRATE the Truth of the Assertion
that t'for ;POLICY-HOLDERS The
Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal
organization. 1t is not controlled Dy
ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary
interest or responsibility save as policy
holders, or recipients Of salary; But it
is controlled by a BOARD Of fifteen

holders in their own right, holding a
large amount of the Company's stock,
and Policyholners as we'll. The Direc-
tors of the Company are men Of high
Financial and Commercial standing, and
are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for
the acts of the Officers of the CORPO-
RATION.
'"The Company has capital stock of
$4,000 Fully paid up in GOLD coin,
but while this Capital and the Stock
holders responsibility afford to Policy

NOTHING, but every dollar paid into
the Company by them and the ACCU-

ago, and delivered a lecture for the
benefit of the men who are trying to
reform the politics OF the Quaker
City. At the conclusion of his dis
course, which was elninently practi-
cal, one of the local reformers went
up to him and said, with the air of a
man who was about to put a poser:
"Your remarks were very interest

Richard Barry, the adventurous
young California correspondent with

ing stories of the trials and tribula-

1t appears that, shortly after the
beginning of hostilities, there were a
number of American correspondents
in a position of north Manchuris
still held by the Russians who were
very anxious to secure from the St.
Petersburg government permission
to accompany the troops southwark.
This permission was denied, and no
tihcation given the correspondents
in body. "We think you are making
a great mistake" said one of the
correspondents to the officer who had
read his governments telegram.
. "Possibly." returned the polite Rus
sian, with smile; ''but I don't see
how it can be helped"
At this juncture rash young man
from Chicago interjected with:

individually advise Our publications
to refrain from advertising your old

George l.. Letcher. the wealthy Fay
cite (OD banker, has been convicted
of setting fire TO a store in Montpelier
to defraud the insurance companies,
and incidentally destroying whole
business block 1t seems incredible
that n man OF his standing should
have been the leader OF band OF in
cendiaries who have for almost a life
time carried their depredations
through three states. but his former
confeder2tes in crime swore positively
to his guilt. No one olooll at Letcher
would take any stock in the charges
that have been made against him, but
it has been the story of DIR. Jekyl and
Mr.. hyde over again. In the daytime
he was at his bank meeting the farm
ers, merchants and buyers of grain
and cattle; at night it is believed, he
was the director of as cold-blooded a
crew of ruffians as ever was gathered
together.
1t was only after two years work
that the authorities were able 10 UNI
cover the operations of the gang. and
it has taken two years more TO bring
them To Justice Over 40 indictments
were returned by the grand jury two
years ago, and since that time IS men
have been convicted and many have
fed the country.
Letcher himself had left the country
IS years ago and gone to the north
west and wherever he went there was
a trail of burned buildings, but there
was no absolute proof that he set the
buildings on fire himself Then he
went To California and from the time
he reached that state there has not
been a breath against him. He en-
tered into business there and has been
doing well. His first wife was divorced
from him, but he had married again,
apparently happily. and was devoted
to his children. And il was only when
he had thoroughly established himself
as a man OF honor and probity that he
was called upon to suffer for a crime
committed in 1851.

Eshry sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion. or ir-'
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain. or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it - a.!

Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison.
and tie nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the conn
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use Of q remedy
that will do tho work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience Of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
fishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years | was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered.
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks were not So severe, but they
