THE SOUTHERN BANKS
RAPID AND ASTONISHING ExTEN-
 SION. OF FACILITIES.
Great Number of Institutions springing Up Every Day Form Fair Index of Financial Progress
 nf G0ufh

Baltimore, Feb. 24.--(Special. )--The
 financial progress of the South has
 been marked by rapid and astonish- ing extension of banking facilities Re- viewing that progress between the first
 day of the current year and the middle of February, The Manufacturers Re- cord shows this week from reports re-
 ceived by it that there were either chartered, organized or opened in the South and Southwest 167 financial ip- stitutions-commercia banks, savings banks and trust companies only being considered-with a total capital report ed of $9,093,500. Although during the period covered reports were received showing that a number of other banks are proposed, no consideration has been given to such, notice being taken only of those institutions which have ap- parently progressed so far in organiza- tion that they are assured of begin ming business if they have not already done so. It Is not surprising consider ing it's vast area and the activity pre- vailing in many lines, that Texas re- ports the largest number of banks of any State under way during this pe- riod of month and half But Georf gia comes second, with two-thirds of the number reported from Texas, and North Carolina third, with only one less than Georgia. Alabama and In- dian Territory, each with one less than North Carolina, are a tie for the fourth place, but next with an equal number each, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missis- sippi demonstrating that the expansion of business in the older parts of the South is compelling the establishment of banking accommodations in many towns. Missouri and Oklahoma are a tie with nine new institutions, Virginia and West Virginia, with six. Arkansas and Florida with five, South Carolina has seven and Louisiana four. In the territory covered by the report only in Maryland and the District of Columbia have no banks been organized, char tered or opened since January 1st. The table shows the distribution of these new financial institutions by States:

ran took it from him.

chance. Answer me. Did you bring off
the ambergris, you beast, when your
junk sank? Where is it now? How

you got? Have your men got a rifle?
Charlie, put that all to him in your
lingo, so as to make sure that he IN
derstands. Tell him if he don't talk
I'm going to make him very sick.''
Charlie put the questions in Chinese,
pausing after each one. Hoang held
his peace.
II gave you fair warning!" shouted
Moran angrily, pointing at him with
the file. "Will you answer?'
Him no tell nuttin.' observed Char
lie.
"Fetch a cord here" commanded
Moran. The cord was brought. and,
despite Hoang's struggles and with
1ngs, the file was thrust endways into his
mouth and his jaws We're bound tightly
together upon it by means of the cord
passed over his head and under his
chin. Some four inches of the file pro-
truded from his lips. Moran took this
end and drew it out between the beach
combers teeth, then pushed it back
slowly.
The hideous resp of the operation
turned WiIbur's blood cold within him.
He looked away-out to sea, down the
beach-anywhere so that he might
not see what was going forward. But
the persistent grind and scrape still
assaulted his ears. He turned about
sharply.

This best accomplished by the free

This remedy liquefies the tough mucus

remedy willie ure a severe cold in less

ed and glanced narrowly and suspi-
c1ously at the group.
Beasts!' muttered Moran. s1They
are up to the game. There's no sur
pr1sing them now. Talk to him,
Charlie. See what he wants.
Moran, Wilbur and Charlie came
part of the way toward Hoang and his
FELLOW and paused some fifteen feet
distant, and long colloquy ensued.
Il soon became evident, however, that
~ reality Hoang wanted nothing Of
them, though with great earnestness
ne asserted his willingness to charter
the Bertha Millner back to San Fran
cisco.
That's not his game at all,'' said
Moran to Wilbur in a low tone. her
eyes never leaving those of the beach
comber. "He's pretty sure he could
seize the Bertha and never pay us a
silver. They've come down to spy on
us, and they're doing it too. There's
no good trying to rush their camp now.
They'll go back and tell the crew that
! we know their lay"
1t was still very dark. Near the
hulk of the beached Bertha Millner
were grouped her crew, each armed
with long and lancelike cutting-in
spade, watching and listening to the

almost down, had flushed blood red.

surface of the bay with her reflection.
The tide was far out, ripping quietly
along the reaches Of wet sand. In the
pauses Of the conference the vast, muf-
fling silence shut down with the alb
ruptness of valve suddenly closed.
How it happened, just who made the
first move, in precisely what manner
the action had been planned OF what
led up to it Wilbur could not after
ward satisfactorily explain. There
was a rush forward-he remembered
that much-a dull thudding of feet
over the resounding beach surface, a
moments writing struggle with a
half naked brown figure that used
knife and nail and tooth, and then the
muff1ing silence again, broken only by
the sound of their own painting. In
that whirl of swift action Wilbur
could reconstruct but two brief pic
tures-the Chinaman, Hoang's COM
panion, flying like one possessed along
the shore; Hoang himself flung head
long into the arms of the Bertha's
coolies, and Moran, her eyes blazing,
her thick braids flying, brandishing
her fist as she shouted at the top of
her deep voice, "We've got you, any

The Courage of Failure,

All honor to the man or woman who
knows no such word as defeat, who
follows the pathway of a consistent
purpose and in the line Of duty, even
with the dark shadow of failure OBJ
securing the way. TO have the courage
of ones convictions at all times and
under all circumstances requires no
small degree Of character and deter
mination. It is better to go down to
ultimate overthrow in cause which
one believes to be just and right than
to profit by any compromise with con-
science or suffer the lowering of the
moral tone which must come to all
who lose the consciousness of adhe-
renee to their faith rather than wear
the laurels of honest defeat.
