A Proclamation by the Governor.
The future of Names material pros

fostered and encouraged by all.
While that spring holiday created by
Act Of the Legislature and known as
ArbOr day was originally intended to
promote the planting of trees, shrubs
and vines for the purpose of adorn-

more vital significance, and its ObserV-

to realize the vast Importance of the

People Figure On Causes Lead ing Up To and Precipi-
 tating Panic INEQUALITIES AND
 POLITICS ARE BLAMED Selfish Attitude of Banks in Present Emergency Is criticised-Excuse Is Broken Down by Gov
 ernment Indebtedness.
BY W. c. NICHOLAS.

New York, November D. Special )-- There now being universal recognition of the cold, hard fact that the country is suf- fering from depression and panic, people are devoting more time than heretofore to trying to locate the cause Of the dis turbance-ln other words, to finding out what hit us and why. Opinion on that point seems to be crystalizlns. Those who only short while ago were di- Vlded sharply on two sides upon this issue, one party holding the President alone was responsible. and the other that crookedness in high finance was alone to blame are getting nearer together.
 There seems to be a growing willing ness to concede that both political agta- ton and financial iminoralitles might rightfully divide the responsibility. and in the final analysis there might be still other contributory elements. They are beginning to realize more clearly that back of both of these factors Is to be found the larger and more important cause, that of over speculation in prac- tically every line of business and ac- tiVity.
 The truth is that the country is suffer Ing from acute indigestion, occasoned largely by gluttonous, over feeding on our almost boundless national prosperity. The people of this country in their fever to develop our great resources have been trying to do the work of a generation in the short period of 10 years. They have plunged ahead regardless, and one day they awoke to find that they had gone too far and too fast and had oyer pledged themselves. They had bitten off more than they could chew and properly di- gest.
 The pains and griplngs which now af- f1ict us are the consequence. The period of agony and the poignancy of the grief have been hastened ard emphasized by undue political agitation directed against capital, and by exposures of rottenness in financial institutions Exposures of be- trayal of trusteeshlp administration and the exploitation of corporations for stock market purposes have accentuated the malady. All these things taken in com bination may be summoned up as the main causes of the distress now being ex- perenced in the business world.
 The foregoing remarks seem to be neces- sary to d better understanding of cur rent events and developments in the se- curty markets and the industrial and mercantile quarters. Everybody Is grop- ing and seeking light. They are doing thelr level best to diagnose the causes or the trouble that they may, be better able to find remedy and alleviaton. This de- sire for knowledge is all prevailing. There is even good reason to believe that Wash ington is feeling need for illumina- ton.
 The powers at the seat of government seem to be surprised and grieved that their. efforts to restore confidence and d healthy readiustment of troubled condi-

POWER FROM ONE DAM
 FOR NINE COTTON MILLS

Columbus, Ga, November 25.-(Special.) 1'he fact that the Swift spinnings mills, Columbus newest cotton manufacturing plant, which starts mp in just week or two, will be operated by electric current, transmitted from dam on the Chatta- hoochee river, emphasizes an interesting state of affairs that now exists in this city, and that is, that the majority of the cotton factories here are now driven by electricity.
 The same power at North Highlands, which will turn the 12,S72 spindles of the newt Swift mill, is already driving the machinery of eight other cotton fac tories, in addition to furnishing the power for various other industries.
 At the point where the Columbus Power company has built its dam No. l, at the site of the romantic Lovers Leap, cele- brated in the famed Indian legend as the place where the two lovers, pursued by enemies, jumped into the seethlng waters far below, the Chattahooche river is made to take a precipitous leap of nearly 40 feet. and it is the mighty energy of that headiong fall, converted into the subtle electric current, that is now turn ing 10000 wheels in the Columbus in- dustrial district. The development is the largest yet made on the Chattahoochee river, with the exception of that at Nor gan Falls, near Atlanta, but is consider ably smaller than additional developments which are planned by the Columbus Power company, which owns nearly 100, ,0OO of horsepower along the Chattahoochee

The large gain in the volume of imported gold last week was fully reflected in the statement because of the fact that the Mauretania could not de- liver it's treasure, amounting to s15ooO,O0 600, until Saturday, after the close of the bank week. Therefore the cash item was made up on distinctly rising aver ages, giving promise of a much better statement in the current week.

As the result of this greater decrease the required reserve was reduced 3D. 371 ,25O, whereas in the previous week the reduction was a little more than half a million.
 The reserve on all deposits last week, as shown by deducting the required re- serve is above from the loss of cash. was $436, $50; in the previous week such reserve decreased 1% millions. The defi- ciency in reserve reported last week as s54 1o3, 600.

This was due to the reduction in such de- posist as above shown.

The cash loss was 6is millions; deposits were augmented S7O0OO0 and loans increased 3 millions; this was, however, due to tho employment of clearing house loan cer- tificates, which in that week were re- ported as outstanding to the amount of 221A millions.
