The Atlanta Journal has again taken issue
With the Constitution. This is nothing new, and,
ordinarily the general public is not interested in
the controversies of the two Atlanta papers, but in
this case there seems to be lot of reasoning in the
Journals claim that their contemporary is 'not
keeping things straight"
1t seem that the constitution asserted that
tsthe legislature will start work Monday morning
as empty handed as the day the body assembled,
nearly three weeks ago. And ''that it will not
amount exactly to starting over"
The Journal contends that the Constitution is
in error in he statements made and we are of the
opinion that the Journal is right For the legis-
iature has done some things that are of great mo-
ment and should not go unnoticed.
They have passed four general measures:
The Wise bill to tax the manufacture and
gale of imitation beers.
The Persons conditional, or pardon, bill.
The Adams bill, creating the Juvenile courts
for the trial OF youthful law breakers.
Passed the Alexander resolution authorizing
a commission to investigate the feasibility of ex-
tending the state road to the sea.
So it will be seen that the extra session has
done good deal besides consider the convict lease
question, and these things should be taken into
consideration.
The linear beer tax bill will, according to
the comptroller of the state net the state over two
hundred thousand dollars annually 1t is not a
temporary thing, it is permanent measure and
means that it will provide an income to the state
ef<aillions of dollars, eventually.

Some of the prohibitonists of the state
have been fearful lest the Fnear beer" tax bill
would eapordize prohibition, but the bill as it
stands is good and one of the strongest prohibition
measures that we have read There is In 1t hVe
especially strong points. The frstis that the man
ufacturer of any beverage intended as substitute
for an Intoxicating drink shall pay to the ordinary
in the county in which the beverage is to be man
ufactured the sum of FIVE hundred dollars for each
calendar year or fraction thereof.
Section Is of the bill provides that every per-

pot warehouse or other distributing office, or other
Mace of business within the state where Imitation
beverages are to be stored and distributed in guam
titles of more than five gallons, shall receive from

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
WILL PAY THE BOND
THIS DECISION WAS REACHED
AT A CONFERENCE SATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON LATE.
AGITATION SETTLED.
Statement Is Issued
BY the Bank Officials Setting Forth
Their Position In the Matter.
Paying For Negligence of
Others-Money Will Be
Paid Over Soon.

The First National Bank has
agreed to pay the amount of the
Davis bond, $4,000. And, under the
circumstances, this was a generous
thing to do.
A conference, by invitation of the
bank, was held Saturday afternoon
late, at which were present officials
of the bank, Mayor Hearne, and other
members of the council. At this
meeting the matter was very thor
oughly discussed, and the bank adj
mitted the part it had probably taken
in the making of the bond, and which
admission is covered by a statement
made below by officers of this bank.
In conversation with an official of
the institution, he said today that
the bank had never intended to
dodge it's responsibility in the matter,
but on account of the absence of the
bond and all evidence as to who sign
ed the bond, they were only exercis-
ing the caution deemed necessary to
fasten part of the responsibility on
whom it should rest Now that the
bank has decided to pay the whole
amount he said they had agreed to
do so in the face of the fact that it
was deemed the best business policy,
and not because they felt they were
liable for the full amount. They had
become the victims of an unfortu-
nate Circumstance. brnE1nt,,sL.,.t
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1908-02-17

ting first, the shortage to occur from,
not properly keeping the assessor
and collector checked up, and, seq
ond, in permitting the bond and rec
ord to get out of their possession.
Legally, they did not consider them
selves responsible for the loss, and
had agreed to make it good from a
moral standpoint only, and that all
talk might be stopped, and the city
saved from the financial loss.
Following is the statement:
To the Herald:-As rumors have
come to the Directors of the First
National Bank of Palestine, that our
position with reference to the c. E.
Davis bond matter has been honestly
misunderstood, we feel it proper to
make this statement
No official of this bank has ever
stated that we did not sign the bond.
We do not say now that we signed
the bond.
From the fact that we had signed
previous bonds, it seemed probable
that we were on the last one. As
others besides ourselves had signed
the only bond now in possession of
the city, it seemed just as probable
that others had signed this bond also.
AS the bond had been stolen and
all records destroyed, and no member
of this board could make oath to the
fact that we had actually executed
the bond, we felt that everything
that could possibly be done should
be done, to ascertain whether or not
we were on the bond, and if so who
shared the responsibility with us.
After a week of investigation, "a
committee from the city council and
the directors of this bank met in con-
sultation Saturday afternoon, and all
the evidence that had been CLEANED
was carefully gone over. No one had
been found who could make oath to
the signers of the bond, but collateral
evidence had been gathered to the
effect that we in all probability sign
ed the bond, in connection with other
parties unknown.
AS some have stated that they |
could not understand how the recol- |
lection of a matter of this kind could
pass out of mind, we will state that
a resolution was spread upon our
minutes four years ago, and again
two years ago, requesting the presi- |
dent and cashier of this bank to sign |
Mr.. Davis bond, relieving them from |
all personal responsibility, and this
fact has been stated by us repeatedly |
If this bond was executed by us, it |
was executed as an executive docu-
ment and as about seven thousand
other executive documents have been
executed by us since that time, in the
way of letters, checks, etc, it is not
