MUST NOT OEVRDRAw
According {" Supreme Court Dccis-
ions OVerdrafts are Illegal.

lhe banker and other business
men in the city are very much inter-
ested in the decision Of the United
states supreme court and several
state courts concerning overdrafts,
and no little talk is caused by them.
Ii federal court holds that all over
drafts are illegal and are a wronged
misrepresentation Of a banks funds.
One state supreme court handed
down a decision to the effect that all
overdratts are absolutely illegal and
that all officers and directors Of any
bank honoring such a draft are liable
for misapplying funds. It also holds
against any person or firm issuing a
check without funds in the bank. The
American and English Encyclopedia
Of Law is quoted Is saying, "A bank
has no right to allow a customer TO
o~verdraw." The comptroller of cur
Tency and a large number of state
departments denouHce it and are pre-
pairing to enforce the law in regard to
the practice.
heretofore h law in regard to Ov-
erdIafts has been loosely construed
and more loosely enforced, and good
ly numbers of business coacerns have
taken advantage of the conditions,
TO the discontinue of a number of
banks. The new decisions make it
imperative that all banks use every
precaution TO keep beyond the dan
ger line, one advantage Of this being,
il there should be a panic the banks
will suffer the less because their ac-
counts will be kalanced.-Greensbors

ROOSEV EFT AS SENATOR.

Golfers Weekly is getting up q
postal card vote on the question OF
sending Mr.. ROOSEVELT TO the senate
after his term as president expires.
Senator Tillman is one Of the per-
sons to whom this question has been
put. The whole country knows that
there is no love lost between those
two men. Below We give the reply
to the question by the "rambunctiCus
senator from South Carolina. We
are rather surprised at the latter part
of the reply, for We had an idea that
MIR. Roosevelt had learned by this
time what kind of a body the senate
is. Surely he has bucked up against
it often enough to learn this; but If
he has not yet learned that lesson he
will be given plenty of opportunity TO
do so before the expiration of his
term as president. We should think
that if Mr.. Roosevelt should go into
the senate as ex-president he would
know from his dealings as president
with that body what kind of a body
it is. Nevertheless we give Senator
TiIlman's views on the subject:
1t would be presumptuous in me to
advise the people of New York as to
what they ought to do OF what kind
of a man they ought to send to repre-
sent them in the senate. If President
Roosevelt, after his retirement from
the white house, should be elected
senator, it would be a revelation to
him as to what kind of a body the
senate is, n a'sp to the country as

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION :

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10. 1907.
IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

The Fifth district brings "anotner
Richmond in the feld-General b. >.
Royster, whose friends by clrcuidt
letter distributed over the district al
yeeate for him the support or the
druggists of the district because they
claim he, as member OF the last le2ls~
1ature. saved them two hundred dol
lars by the passage or defeat OF SOME
bill or other by that body. Inc
friends of General ROyster do not
saw hat the congressional bee was
b,1zzine in his bonnet when he secur-
ed the passage or defeat OF hat Ia"
which saved to them that large sum,
and AZ we know nothing about the
facts in the case we are not prepared
to say whether that buzzing was going
ca at the time or not. The only
thipx we do know about the matter
is that it has beer published that cir
culars have been issued to druggists
in the Fifth district urging them "a
support General B. S. ROyster for CON
gress because he did accomplish, by
ameunt to the druggists Of the state.
81, far as we know, it is not stated in
these circulars sent ont by General
B.. S. ROyster's friends, whether this
saving was of a legitimate tax PAID
by the druggists or whether it was
the blocking of a scheme by the leglS-
lature to rob hat profession Of that
amount of money for the benefit Of
the state. About the only thing we
do know of General B. S. Royster OF
fieiany and publicly is that he was the
hold over" adjutant general Of the
state guard under the AycOck admin
istYation from that of Governor Rus
se1l-the only state official Of the
Russell regime who was allowed to
held office under the succeeding dem
Oeratic administration, and that not
by the vote of the democratic party,
but by appointment of Governor Ay-
coek after the democratic convention
which nominated Mr.. Aycock for gov
ernor had declared most emphatically
by its action hat it did not want any
of the Russell regime officials to CON
Time in Office under the succeeding
democratic administration.
But, then. if the democrats of the
Fifth district want to nominate and
elect to congress General B. S. Roys-
ter. the druggists friend and ex-Gov-
erner RusselTs adjntant general, we
suppose it is none of our. business. If
the democrats of that district think
a man would make a good congress-
man because he had the ability as
state legislator to save the druggists
two hundred dollars, let them say SO.
