TO DISFRANCHTSE
IGNORANT NEGRO
DEMOCRATS OF MARYLAND WILL
PUT THROUGH A BILL TO
LIMIT SUFFRAGE.

BALTIMORE, Md, November s.
Democratic party leaders, realizing
that the democratic majority in the
next legislature will enable them to
do so, have taken definite steps look
ing to the introduction of an amend
ment to the state constitution which
will disfranchise the Ignorant negro
vote in Maryland.
Isaac Lobe Straus, the attorney gen.
eral-elect, says that he has been re-
quested to make thorough examl'
nation of the constitutions Of all the
southerns, and some of the northern
and western states, with view TO
framing an amendment to the constl'
tuition of Maryland that will be accep'
table not only to the regular demo
Gratis, but also to the independen"
and to liberal-minded representatives
as well, and that he will do so.

HOARDED MONEY
COMING out
/. HIGH PREMIUM FOR METAL IS
BRINGING 1T INTO CIR
COLLATION..
Estimated That 100000 Has Been
Released From Strong
Boxes in Week.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE magnet
of high premium rates for currency
is attracting the money boarded by
depositors in steel vaults and strong
boxes, and within the last two days
over SO 900 900 has been enticed from
its hiding place and sold for a pre-
MUM to money brokers' The placing
of these large amounts of boarded
currency in circulation is performing
its important part in lessening the
monetary stringency.
The falling off of the premium rate
for currency today from 312 to per
cent was brought about by the large
amount of gold and silver that was
taken from safe deposits vaults and
offered for sale. Purchases of cur
rency were generally for out of town
account and brokers state that cur
rency brought here is being shipped
to agricultural and industrial centers'
where It is most needed.
over a million dollars was drawn
from repositories today and sold 10
money brokers. Safe deposit COM
panies report a steady stream of peo-
nile visiting the vaults to withdraw
funds.
New York bankers are not likely to

NEW YORK, Nov s.-The stream

here to Chicago in such large quanti-

ALREADY GONE
WOULD SIMPLY BE couRTlNG Hu-
INITIATING, DISASTER BY RE-
NAMING IN THE RACE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. IL
The Chattanooga Times commenting
on the recent election in Memphis, edi-
torially says:
IF it is true as stated that the is
sues at Memphis, in addition to local
questions, embraced the preferences
of the Memphis public as between ex-
Senator Carmack and Governor Pat
terson for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, then it would seem that Mr.. Pat
terson's withdrawal from the race is
indicated. II with all the election ma
chinery, the advantage of primary
nominations and the plea" of admin
istration Endorsement his friends could
not carry him in local election, it
would seem that Governor Patterson
would simply be counting a humilia-
ting disaster by remaining in the con-
test.
I'm addition to the Memphis result
there is unmistakable evidence of the
complete collapse of the governors
machine in nearly every large county
in the state. His attitude in opposi-
ton to primary, creating the impress
sion that he fears Inu fr.e expression
of popular sentiment has created a
revulsion of feeling among a large con-
tingent of his own following for the
simple reason that they cannot under
stand how a man, conscious of his
own strength, can one year favor
primary and the next reverse himself.
Another strong reason for the col
lapse of Governor Patterson's pre-
tensions lies in the fact that having
defeated the claims of Governor Cox
for an Endorsement through pledges
and promises he has failed to carry
out, he cannot invoke the precedent
of second term in his own case"
"The best thing Governor Patterson
can do, therefore, to save himself and
prevent the public exploitation Of his
shortcomings TO the hurt of his party,
is to withdraw from the contest and
retire to Memphis for the practice of
his profession for which we under
stand he is fitted"

Certificates of the Maury County
Clearing House Association were
nlaced in circulation in Columbia Sat
urday and before night were CIR
culating in many sections OF the coun-
Nv These certificates are readily
nassing current as cash and their Is
snance has done much to relieve the
financial stringency in this section.
They have been used today to meet
nav rolls and it is estimated that al
ready $4,000 of the certificates have
gone into circulation answering every
purpose of United States notes or gold
or silver coin.
The association has decided to limit
the issue of certificates for the pres
ent to 100000 This amount is
backed by gilt edge securities deposi-
ted with the trustees of the associa-
ton and in addition five banks In
Maury county have pledged their
resources to secure them. They
are lust as well backed as any note OF
the government or any National bank
note backed by the deposit of United
States bonds.
The banks here have not removed
the limit on the withdrawal OF de-
posits as a result of the issuance oil
the certificates, but all checks Tor
pay-rolls and for other similar pur'
noses where currency or its equiva
lent is necessary will be met in full.
This action will come as great boon
to the phosphate industry of the coun
ty. which had been partially para
lived as a result of the inability OF
the operators to obtain the cash to
meet the pay rolls.
The certificates pass current much
more readily than checks and are
more convenient to manage. The
holder of one of these certificates IL

a bank note is. He does not have tc
be identified as does the holder of

person having ten dollar clearing

had a check he would have to be iden
Titled and inquiry would be made as tc
the solvency of the party drawing the
check. All this difficulty is obviated
by the certificate plan.
