BANKS NEED NOT

In THEIR TITLES

The action of Judge Reed in i'm
posing a fine of 500 against the Me-
chanics & Farmers Savings bank for
failing to have the word "Incorporat-
ed" appear under its advertising sign,
has been reversed by the court of APP
peals, which holds that banks, trust
companies insurance and building
and loan associations are not required
to have the word on their advertising
matter, these companies necessarily. be
ing corporations. The decision sets a
precedent for the entire state as the
statute in regard to the matter was
ambiguous and has been construed to
include all corporate companies.
Nearly every bank doing business
in the city was fined at the last term
of criminal court for falling to dis
play the word on their signs, and one
institution, the Globe Bank and Trust
company, paid the fine rather than go
to the expense of appealing the case.
The decision of the appellate court
will cause all the indictments to be
dismissed now. Attorneys Bradshaw
& Bradshaw represented the bank be-

Independent Buyer is Warn
ed to Desist.

Murray. KY, Feb. 20. Especial >
w. l.. Whitnel, an independent tobac-
co prizer, has closed his prizing
house as requested by a note signed
might riders" in which he was in
formed that he would be summarily
dealt with If he continued to buy to-
bacco this season, it being reported
that he had bought crops pledged to
the association.
Mr.. Whitnel, who is a prominent
farmer and tobacconist, was formerly
organizer for the association in Cal
loway county, being made chairman
of the county at the first meeting held
to organize the association by John
NJ. Allen and others. Mr.. Whitnel
was also prizer for the entire county,
but controversy arose between him
and some of the members of the as
ISOLATION in regard to letting other
pricing contracts, Mr.. Whitnel being
charged with trying to control all the
contracts. Consequently this year he
quit the association and bought tobac-
co. independently. A great deal of Ill
feeling came out of the matte, and
knowing that he had bitter enemies in
the county, Mr.. Whitnel complied
with the request to close.
Mr.. Whitnel is one of the best
known tobacco men in this section.
He is large stakeholder in the West

being the might ridden and 'shot-rid-

of the opinion that during the past few
weeks the city has sustained the repu-
tation gained by the first and original
raid of the might riders" as Chris
tian county, of which Hopkinsville is
the county seat, has been the scene of
several visits by the raiders during the
