Lewis b Getzandanuer and his sup
porters on the one side and several
OF the directors on the other 1t is
said that President Getzendanner owes
enc bank about $4,000 Of borrowed
funds, and that there was a threat
made to the effect that If he did not
resign the presidency the directors
would force the bank into voluntary
liquidation. In order to meet this SIT
nation President Getzendanner secur
ed enough proxies of stockholders to
force the retirement of five members
of the board of directors at the recent
annual meeting. and apparently helu
control of the situation.
However, on Saturday night a Sc,

at which time the threat to force the

deed for his property in Charles

In the meantime Cashier Turner re-
signed, and Gerard d, Moore was
elected to the position. Intelligence
of the fight between the directors and
the president leaked out, and the de,
positors became alarmed and started a
run on the bank. All day Tuesday
the run was continued, many deposit
ors going to the bank and demanding
their money Considerable cash was
on hand, and this enabled the bank to
meet all demands. Today the run was
continued. but there is d strong feel
ing prevailing that unless the run is
speedily checked the bank will be
to close its doors.

Getzendanner had resigned the pres

Time For Stories To Start.

1t is about time for the usual stories
to make their appearance and this
town will be no exception, no doubt
Generally the first story to arise is
that some of the candidates are buy
ing or going TO buy votes Where they
will buy them we do not know One
rumor is that they will buy them from
contestants that have dropped out or
are contemplating dropping out. We
have this to say that if any certificate
votes come in this ballot box With any
other name on them than the one that
is down in our books we will start an
investigation and if it is found that
this chcanery was done purposely
and with intent we will drop that per
son or persons name from the list
without a moments notice We have
been engaged in the contest business
for several years past and in that time
have conducted over sixty contests
and we have a reputation for square
and honest dealing that we prize as
much as any business man does his
good and honest name. We have as
much at stake as any business man in
your town and we want it understood
that there will be nothing that is not
fair and above board in every detail.
The final count of the certificate votes

foremost business and professional
men; men that you have every con
fidence in, A list of the judges will be

Everyone Treated the Same.
That would be giving the candidates
standing away to the rest of the con
testants, and would not be a square
deal to those that win.
The candidates that win those two
gold sinners the next time will have
to set a pace, for the whole bunch
will be after their scalps for fair Sew
eraI contestants have been heard to
remark that they had not put forth
any special effort for the last specials,
but the ones who win the next two
gold pieces will have to show them. 50
Organize Your Forces
Some of the candidates have organ
jzed a regular force for the collection
Of voting coupons and for the procur
ing of new subscriptions that would
put some OF the political machines in a
back seat.
That is the way to GET BUSY. Or.
ganize your friends into an endless
chain. Have each one get you new
subscriber and have each one of them
get friend to get You one. You will
be astonished the way your machine
will grow and all for your benefit, too.
Only One Way to Do 1t.
There is only one way to land one
of these big prizes and that is to get
out and DIG And while you are hus-
Ting for the big prizes you stand an
excellent chance of winning one Of the
specials, shining ten dollar gold
piece. 1t does not hurt your chances
for the big ones, either.
The fact of the matter is, it helps
you, as people like to rally around g
winner, no matter what the race may
be.
