That these bank notes will not disap-

national banks.
Now mark this, that every bank
note held as a reserve will displace
just that amount Of gold and drive it
out OF the country. This is just what
our silver purchases did in 1879 to
1904. The poorer money always has,
and invariably will, drive out the bet

From 1892 to 1888, with only a diff
ferential between gold and silver Of
from one-half to one per cent, all the
gold was driven out of the country.
During the next few months you
will note this striking contrast be-
tween those bonds-secured notes,
and the credit currency expressed in
clearing house certificates and cash
lers' checks that while all Of these
bond secured notes will remain to
perplex and curse us in the future by
not contracting to the extent Of a
single dollar of credit currency in the
form Of clearing house certificates and
cashiers checks which have come into
existence naturally with a great ur-
gent need, will disappear when they
are required no longer.

Yale Defeats Harvard.

Cambridge, Mass.-Yale superbly
maintained her football supremacy by
defeating Harvard, her oldest rival
in the Stadium Saturday by score OF
II to 0. Without resorting, except
on exceptional occasions to the So
called new play.
Nearly 10000 spectators sat in the
Indian summer sunshine and saw the
Harvard eleven struggle in vain
against the superior prowess Of the
Yale team.
1t was not particularly thrilling
game, for long and spectacular plays
were missing and there were few
errors in the backfeld to give the
opposing side material advantage.

The State Fair is over and was de-
clared by all who attended it as a
pronounced success. The agricultural
and horticultural exhibits were as
good IS cold be shown by any state in
IN the Union, and yet Mississippi was
only half trying. Not ten per cent
OF the counties were represented by
anything like regular county exhib-
It. The new agricultural hall was
crowded to the full extent Of it's ca
pacity with products that could not
be excelled anywhere, the poultry
show of over five hundred birds was
revelation to our own people as
we'll as outsiders, the hogs, live stock
OF all kinds, commercial exhibits, ma
chlnery and etc., made a wonderful
showing for state that is known to
possess wonderful resources but is
generally considered as being far be-
hind the times in a way of develop
ment. The attendance the first week
was splendid, the last week being cut
off to a considerable extent by very
cold weather, but withall 1t was sat
isfactory. The management was pleas
ed and are now planning for a larg-
er event. next year when additional
buildings will be ready for live stock,
chickens, dogs, machinery, etc.
Entirely too much space would be
required to enumerate all Of the mag
nificent exhibits and give to them the
mention merited. Jackson county as
IN the past, carried off l&onors for
the best county exhibit with Yazoo
county close second. Holmes, War
rem, Copiah, Wilkinson and Kinds
were well represented with compre-
henslve exhibits. The Farmers In
ION made demonstration that elicit
ed admiration by showing some Of the
products produced by this excellent
organization. The Cotton Association
again made fine demonstration Of
the need Of manufacturing cotton in
the South. Miilsaps College and the
Audubon Societies fitted an instruc-
tive and interesting booth. The A.
& NJ. College brought a car load Of
fine stock and car Of industrial ex-
hlblts that were the center of admir-
ing crowds during the Fair. The Bap
fist Orphanage exhibited few of the
products of it's farm that were as
good as the best. Take it all in all,
the showing made should fill the
heart of every true Miss:ssippian
with pride.

and even these favored districts are
not in such good shape. The report on
Texas today and on which Europe de-
ponds so much, is given as follows:
There were numerous heavy showers
and much cloudiness over the eastern
half of the state, delaying farm work
several days. Thunders forms. some
with hail and high winds, occurred on
several days and destructive local
storms of a tornadoic character occur
red in Van Zant and rain on the 25th.
Generally clear weather with little or
no rain, prevailed in western and north
western counties. The temperature
was nearly normal. but the week
closed with cool weather"
