The CRAZE for card playing was
dgelt upon by the Rev. Dr. Joseph
silvermsn in a recent lecture before the
women of his congregation in Now
York. Tn the course Of his remarks he
said. Truly It is q sad commentary on
:he times that many women devote their
days aud nights to gambling form OF
pasiime to which, ne had thought, 1t
was bad enough for some men to have
become addicted. When women stoop
10 wager money at the card table and
forget, ia the excitement Of the play,
their homes, their dear ones, their
ideals, their womanhOOd, iheir religion,
their duties to God, 10 their family
then surely is the eleventh hour Of spirit
usl degeneration.

The FOLLOWING from the Amherst
New Era is probably what many news
papers thought but which, so far as we
know. none OF them has heretofore said:
we earnestly advocated the acquittal
of the Strother brothers for the killing
Of VIM. Bywaters, for seducirg Viola
Slrother. 1t was sad, but necessary 10
no done. We regret to see the citizens
Of Welch, W. Va, giving Jim Strother
II public reception and like demonsra-
lions Of approval Quiet sympathy
should 10 shown them. While they
should feel justified in what they did, yet
they should feel ashamed OF their dis
grace in their sisters conduct and mis-
behavior. 1t ia no time for public en-
tertainments with them. Quiet ap-
proyal is what they need and not a band
wagon approval We are glad Judge
Harrison denies the statement that he
from the bench approved OF the verdict
in words. Down in his heart, no doubt,
he did-but he ought not have paid 30
on the bench.

Norfolk, Va. March 20. TO the sl-
perfcisl eye the constructive work at the
jamestown Exposition appears less adj
vsuced at present than il was some
months ago. This apparent retrosressicn
Is due to the sudden activity Of the host
of the over-csuticus which followed the
million dollar loan from the government.
Money moves the masses, and this money
has moved matters amazingly at The ex-
position.
With the development of the great
exhibit palaces and most of the state
buildings some tine ago, the grounds
presented very orderly appearance, but
the present confusion incident 10 the
large building operations Of beIated con-
cessionsres and Others, has temporarily
msrred the picture. It IL, however,
merely brief and trsnsitory episode In
the constructive progress of this great
enterprise, second wind, ss Il we're,
which will land the exposition on tins
aud winner for the opening day.
With the overwhelming rush, crush
aud clatter Of machinery and manipula-
ton, the work is progressing at rapid
rate, and out Of this weller Of work and
worry there will shortly come forth
wonderland of order and beauty,
The great government pier Is we'll un-
der way, and though presenting for the
moment chaos of material and mschiu-
cry, the contractors are certain Of hav.
log 1t ready for the grand opening Of
April Goth. The completion OF this work
10 very necessary as the officers and men
Of the foreign war ships will mske land
iDgs there.
All over ths grounds the rush Is on in
earnest. The large force Of workmen Is
being constantly increased, making q
hive of fsverish industry 10 which Is
maintained an uninterrupted race against
time With April Goth for the goal.
The desire for the originality In this
enterprise included the item Of complete
ness for the opening day, something not
heretofore known. Under the great e.
fort being put forth 1t Is possible that
this may be accomplished. Atsny rate
the little unfinished construction -if-any
at that time, will not materially mar the
beautiful aspect Of the grounds or In.
terfere with the pleasure of early visitors.

A PROSPEROUS BANK
THE NEW FARLEY NATIONAL,
 MAKES FLATTERING SHOWING.
Vigorous Banking Institutfon, uJst n Half-Year old, Presents state- naent of its Splendid
 Record.

It is the custom among banks to hold their semf-annual Directors Meetings on the last day of June of each year, put coming on Sunday. the meetings were held nyestsrday afternoon.
 Among the Montgomery banks which held their meetings of Directors was Te New Farley National Bank, which began business just prior to January 1st last. The statement read to the Board at It's meeting is published in the columns of The Advertiser today. The showing made Is most gratifying an demonstrates that the growth of The New Farley National is assured.
 While the Directors of this institu- ton declared no diviend upon the capi- tai stock, the Bank having been in business only a little over six months, still the statement shows that in spite Of the original expense of organizing and equipping the banf for business, 1t has made considerable more than a dividend upon the entire stocb of the bank The institution has over a quar- ter Of million dollars of individual deposits and a gross deposit account of more than $270,e00.
 The New Farley National has d large and influential list of stockhold- CTS, from which the following were selected at the time of organization as its Board of Directors, namely: Jasques LoeD, B. F. Crum, Louis B. Farley, L. Warren Tyson, John B. Nicrosi, W. D. Westcott Hartwell Douglass. Naham GreiI, J. S. Pinckard, Sam Sabel, R. J. Chambers, Hardwick Ruth, J F. Hat temer, Jno J. Flowers and l.. B. Whit field.
 These names are familiar to all, and 1t can be seen that The New Farley National Bank has one of the strongest Directorates of any bank in this sec tion of the State. The affairs of the instotution are conservatively and eco nomicall administered, and the pa- tronage of the institution is rapidly increasing.
 The official staff of the bank is as follows: Louis B. Farley. President; B. F. Crum, Vice-President; L. Warren Tyson. Cashier; John J. Flowers, As- sistant Cashier.
 The New Farley National is modcrnly equipped. having ah the departments of an up-to-date institution, including g a separate department for its lady Jeus- toner's; and each branch of It's busi- ness is under capable management. The institution is a designated deposi- tory O fthe State of Alabama, as we'll as the City of Montgomery.
 The statement of the institution shows strong and healthy condition in all respects. and also that it is well equipped and qualified to care for the accounts of individuals, frmssand cor porations conlding teir business to It's core. adv.
