CONDITION.

Macon, July 3.-There was a big
run on tho Exchange Bank of Macon

around the bank was lively one,
depositors making a mad rush to
draw their money
The rush started the minute the
bank opened it's doors this morning
and kept up for three or four hours,
but the institution proved TO be solid
and paid eevry depositor who came
for his money
Most of the frightened people We're
the small depositors and they drew
oul about 100000, Large depositors
.of the bank did not touch their mon
lev put instead made deposits while
tine rush was i'm progress.
The big rush ON This well known
banking house was caused by wild
rumors which started last night and
continued this morning before the
bank opened One of them was to
the effect that Vice President and
Cashier Corbin, who recently suici-
ded was short, another that no divi,

other rumors OF the kind were afloat.
which caused the small depositors

SOME SWEEPING REDUCTIONS

The New Ordinance is Now
in Effect
SOME SWEEPING REDUCTIONS

The much talked OF rate ordinance
between the city of Brunswick and
the Mutual Light and water COMPANY
which makes sweeping reductions in
the cost Of water, gas and electri,
No consumers as well as to the
city 8Sf Brunswick, and full text Of
whi& was printed in these columns
fue5day morning, was passed by city
eouRcl last night.
AS has been stated in these col.
umns from time to time, the rate pre-
scribed under this new ordinance
makes reductions in the cost of these
commodities ranging from forty-nve
to ten per cent, with a general aver
age Of about twenty-five per cent.
While the council did not go into
executive session over the PROPOSE
tion last night, it held very late
session before finally determining
upon all of the points at issue and
it was well into the wee sma hours"
OF the Glorious Fourth before the
matter was finally adjusted
During the evening several import.
ant amendments to the ordinanee
were introduced many of them were
rejected and several were adopted
The most important amendment on
the water proposition was the one
fixing the minimum number of gal
Ions of water for consumption in
residences Of five and seven rooms at
250, with a corresponding rate of 30
cents per gallon. thus making the
total cost for water in such homes
$18 per year, provided consumers in
stall at their own expense a water
meter Another amendment as to the
water rate was the one fixing the
maximum rate on household consumD-
uon at $25 per year, without cost to
any additional number Of spigots
Some misunderstanding seemed to
exist as to the charge Of one dollar
for electric meters and accordingly
an amendment was accepted setting
forth the fact that the charge of one
dollar on such meters was not to be
counted as a charge for the meters
but was to apply to the consumption
of electricity used, save in cases
where the consumer using a meter
does not use one dollar Of electricity
,F
In the matter of gas, reductions
were made in the amounts of fifty
cents and twenty-five cents per thou
sand feet as to commercial and do
mestic uses.
On the whole the News believes
that the city has received at the
hands Of the Mutual Light and Wa
tel Company the best rate possible,
the reductions in the course of a
year going up into the thousands.
All Of the reductions referred to are
effective July /, the company rebatinS
all patrons on their October bills
Now that this perplexing question
has been settled the people Of the
city should join in and help to make
the settlement lasting one.
