LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The president OF the Washington Elk
change Bank. Mr.. z. Quincy Smith. was
asked by representative Of The Star about
the results OF the experiment Of a night
bank in this city, which he is now making.
In reply Mr.. Smith said:
ION March 10 we shall have been rum
ming the Washington Exchange Bank as a
day and night bank for three months. 1t
has evidently been q great convenience to
many people, because we have opened q
considerable number Of new accounts. but
the accounts have been small and have
averaged less than $5O-that is, they have
been SO small that most national banks
would not care for them. and probably
two-thirds Of them belong to people who
had never before had checking accounts.
However, the deposits In the Washington
Exchange Bank were about $4,000 when
we went into our new building, and they
are now $3.50 900, 50 that there has been q
gain in total deposits.
Just after the closing OF government Of
hce hours we are usually pretty busy. and
from to we do fairly well. From 3
to 10 there is little doing, and after 10
o'clock practically nothing. It is my i'm
preston that In the spring. beginning per
haps April 1, we shall close the bank at
10 pm. instead of keeping open until II.
Our main business after o'clock Is re-
ceiving small accounts and occasionally
cashing a check, but practically nothing
else in the way Of banking Is done, and. &C.
cording to my recollection, we have never
but once been asked for discount at
night"

BASSETT CASE.
Washington Decree Admitted in Omaha
Case

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA. Neb, February 23.-Mrs. Fan
ME Rice Bassett won another victory this
morning in her divorce case against Chas.
C. Bassett of Washington, when Judge
Redick overruled motion of the defense to
dismiss the case because of failure to prove
her case at the same time calling attention
to the fact that more than ten months
elapsed after the separation before the last
child was born. The defense claimed that
there was no record in medical practice
where the period Of CESSATION reached 3O5
days, as in the Bassett case. Judge Redick
overruled the request and asked for evil
dence on the matter.
But Mrs. Bassett lost heavily when the
Washington decree was offered and, after
a bitter fight. was admitted as evidence,
with reservations that it was admitted
subject to examination by the court and
not to be understood as ending the case
Upon agreement attorneys began argument
on the validity of the Washington Decree
the court announcing that If the Washing
ton decree was held valid the Omaha case
would be stopped, the Washington de-
cree would have dissolved the Bassett mar
riage.

Another Fire at ThomasVIHe.

Sunday afternoon about 4
O'Clock the factory of the Climax
Chair Company was found to be
On fire. The alarm was given
and every effort made to check
the flames but they had gained
too much Roadway. The fire
originated in the second story of
the plant and quickly spread all
over the building. From the
main building the finishing de.
partment, about 100 feet away,
caught and it was destroyed with
a large stack Of chairs. The OF
igin of the fire is not known.
The loss was about $16, 1000, with
IS, 200 insurance. Messrs. Will
and Tom Harris owned the plant.
Their loss is heavy, especially in
view of the fact that they had
another costly fire in the last few
years. it is not definitely known,
but it is thought that the plant
will be rebuilt as soon as possible.

Adopt 8.H0ur Day..

At a largely attended meeting
of the North Carolina Case work.
ers Association in Greensboro, in
which IS per cent of the output of
North Carolina furniture was rep
resented, it was decided to reduce
the output by curtailing the hours
srom ten to eight per day excepting
where employees %perferred TO work
five ten-hour days per week, and
lay off one day. The question of
shutting down was discussed, but
was not considered seriously.
The ASSOCIATION also discussed but
did not favor selling goods at re-
duced prices, but resolved to con-
tinue manufacturing goods and
storing the products until the
market got better. There is de-
preston in the market, but the
manufacturers are confident and
feel that the market will soon
pick up.
There will be no shutting down
or discharge of employees in the
factories. It is understood that
High Point factories will run Oh
the 9-hour day plan, leaving other
communities to act on the FIVE
day plan, if they so select. Of
course all S-hour day will mean
less wages for the workmen, but
it is hoped that this Roosevelt
panic will let up soon, and all
the shops Will run same as ever.
The Lexington factories are
running Oh the regular winter g.
hour day. They make this time
every winter, and will no doubt
continue to do 80 this winter.
Up to November 1st, before this
panic began to be felt, every
factory in Lexington, and per-
haps all other state furniture
factories, had received more bust
ness and had done more than ever
before in their history. Naturally
there was some disturbance when
money conditions grew tighter
and some orders were counter
manded. However the outlook is
brighter and it is easy to believe
that soon conditions will be nor
NAL. The crisis has passed.

Prohibition Tactics In Alabama.

The Alabama Senate Tuesday
passed a bill, previously passed by
the House, providing for State
prohibition, The most remark
able incident of the Alabama con-
test was the appearance of women
as lobbyists against prohibition.
The daughter of Admiral Raphael
Semmes, of the Confederate Navy,
and Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson,
the noted writer, presented a pro-
test signed by about 1000 women
of Mobile and other cities in Ala
bama. The basis of the protest
seemed to be that the passage of
prohibition law would cripple the
schools. The bill, however, pass
ed the Senate by q vote Of 80 to 2,
and a dispatch from Montgomery
says:
When two carloads Of Mobile
women came to the city today to
lobby against the prohibition bill,
passed by the House and pending
in the Senate, they found that
delegations from Montgomery,
Selma and Birmingham, who ia
vored the prohibition measure,
had fillei the Senate galleries un-
til not a seat was left. It was a
plan to crowd them out and car
rled. Little children stood in the
lobtles and pinned ribbons on
every one who came ID. The chill
dren were kept out of school to
work against whiskey.

oppose prohibition were treated
