 It was also decided that the ad- mission charges should be 50, 75 cents and $1.
 A motion was carried instructing President Norwood to appoint a re- ception committee of ten, of which he should be chairman. MT. Nor wood appointed the following on this committee from among those present at the meeting: Mayor Olney, Dr. Parks, J. I. Alley, R. R. St. John, Dr. Davis. J, H. Hamilton, Dr. Cochran, c. c.

There Is Something Wrong.

We are in the midst of panic, and as there is a cause for all things there must be for this. l don't propose to try to tell you what caused the present trouble, but do want to say few things.
 First, it seems strange to me that the American people have to endure stringeucy in money when there is more curreucey than ever before. There IS something wrong.
 Second, it Is bad banking system that enables New York banks to force all the other banks to close their doors by withholding from them money due, thus endangering sound in- stiiutions and very naturally causing depositors uneasiness and perhaps loss. There 1t surely something wrong.
 Third, any system that allows depositors to suffer loss through the dishonesty or mismarage- ment of bank is no better than one that would allow highway man to take the money at the point of gun.
 I will try to give you a prob. | lem to solve by naming a few oi the wrong conditions that exist;
 God has said that the love oi money was the root of all evil. God has given the timber and the land on which 1t grows for the use of his children. They are being monopolized by the money lovers.
 God has given for our use the gas aud oil and coal, and today they are in the hands of the trusts and combines.
 Everything that is of public utility is today in the control of trust.
 These are facts that any man knows who is familiar with con ditious, and continue despite the trust busting of the President and Congress.
 Now, what causes the panic, and what will bust the trusts, and what will our grandchildren say when they find themselves serfs and peons
 There is something very wrong. Get your slate ane pen cil and figure II out.
