Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centres. This is what
Peruna does.

INSPECTOR CHARLES BERST OF THE GAMEWELL co. SPENT THE DAY HERE EXAMINING THE SYS- ITEM.

Charles Berst, inspector of the Gameweii fire alarm telegraph system, spent yester- day in the city on tour of inspection or the company he represents.
 ''I am here on no special puslness, other than to ascertain whether or not the alarm boxes are in good condition" said MT. Berst q am not here for the pur- pose of considering the fire situation. That is left for others to do.
 q do not mind saying that my inspee- ton of things in general has been all that could be desired but at the same time realize. as do all the citizens of Birmng- ham that more fire alarm boxes are need ed. To say how many additional boxes should be placed I do not care to say, but believe that the recommendation of the national bard of underwriters should be approved and put in force"
 MT. Berst said he believed that every thing asked for by the insurance men will be granted, according to the promise of the city.
 Inspector Berst was entertained by Former Chief Mullin and Chief Walton, and was shown over the city. The party rode in MT. Mullins automobile. MT. Berst left last night for Cincinnati. whence he win proceed to New York.

STATE BANK EXAMINERS. Their Usefulness in Mississippi Sub
 ject of Discussion.

Jackson, Miss, December Ex-Governor Vardaman's attention was called this morning to letter that was given out at Greenville a few days since by J. H. Watts. president of the Bank of Washing ton, and in which he took the position that state banks should be examined, that the present system of reporting to the auditor is farce and affords no pro tection to the depositors. He calls on the governor of the state to bring the mat ter to the attention of the approaching legislature. In response to request Tor an expression of his views on the subject, Governor Vardaman said:
 II have given some thought to the ques- ton of state bank examinations, and find a great many reasons why such an office should be created, and no valid reason why it should not be-
 "Whie there have been very few failures of banks in the state of Mississippi Tn recent years, and it is gratifying fact that the betrayal of the truhts that they, the bankers, hold from the people has been seldom, no harm can result from, and it is the duty of the legislature to provide against, the possible loss of de- positors who trust their surplus earnings to the care and keeping of the banks
 "The legislature will be permitted to consider the wise and prudent suggestions made by the code commissioners on state bank inspections"
 As has been stated more than once here tofore the code commissioners-Mess A. H. Whitfield, chief justice of the supreme court; Hon. w. H. Hardy, attorney at law ana industrial promoter of Hatties- burg and ex-Congressman Thomas C.. Catchings of Vicksburg who is counsel for the Southern railway in Misslssippi- have recommended and urged the ere alton of department of banking. with q bank commissioner In charge. This com missioner is clothed with authority to inspect any and all banks when he con sders it necessary, and to Insist on and put in execution any and all safeguards that he may deem necessary for the pro- tection of the people of the state. This chapter of the proposed new code. as is the case with every one in the big volume, will be gone over by the legisla- ture and adopted or rejected. There may be many amendments, even in case the chapter is adopted, as new code ever suited all members of any legislature. but the prospect is that the awmakers of Mississippi, having the bridle taken off by the governor, and left to do as they please in the matter of Legislation during this particular short session. of special session, as it is called, will create the office suggested.

D.. senior member of the Presby- terian mission at Canton, China, de- scribng events leading up to the re- cent killing of Missionary Lynch.
