Money Panic Entirely Over.

New York, Jan. 22.-Twenty mil
lion dollars was paid to savings bank
depositors in New York city Wednes-
day, and with the payment vanished
the last vestige of the recent money
panic. Coincidental with the semi
annual interest payment, several of
the larger savings Institutions were
informed by banks of deposit that no
more currency could be used by them
as their vaults were full. Thus New
York turned it's back on the panic Of
1907.
In connection with the payment of
interest to savings bank depositors
for the last half of 1907 there were
several unusual features. Never be-
fore had the lines of depositors been
80 long as they were Wednesday at
the windows, to have the interest
credited. Several weeks ago few of
the smaller banks notified their de-
positors that. thenotices OF withdrawal
that were given during the uncertain
days OF November, would have to be
recalled or the interest due them
would be forfeited.
Among thousands of depositors who
were ignorant of the technicalities of
banking the impression gained ground
chat in some way they had forfeited
their interest. They began to arrive
early with their bank books. All
stood in line until they had their in
terest credited, and then went straight
away happy.
The total deposits in New York city
savings banks are approximately ST.
0O0,oo0, 900. All of the banks are on a
four per cent. annual interest basis,
which calls for s4o,ooo,oo year in
terest to depositors.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by .an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube When this tube is in-
famed you have a rumbling sound Or
imperfect, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infianed' con-
dition Of mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness 'caused by ca
tsrrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrl Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Legislative Appropriations.

The Times-Democrat thus COM
ments on the recent work of the
Mississippi legislature;
"The appropriations, amounting
to So. 468, ,867, are less by $500, 900
than those two years ago and will,
1t is believed, exceed only slightly,
If at all, the revenues of the State
for the biennial period. OF this a
mount it is understood that S., 500, :
900 goes to the common schools,
1870, 900 to the State colleges and
5000, 900 as pensions to the Confed-
crate veterans. the balance being
allotted to the support of the State
government and of the other State
institutions. The Legislatures re-
fusal to authorize the Governor to
borrow money in emergencies may
subject the treasury to temporary
embarrassment such as occurred
during Gov. Vardaman's admins
tration. About $3.50, 900 of the
bonds authorized by the last Legis-
lature remain unsold and at the
Governors disposal, but the low in
terest carried and the stipulation as
to the delivery of the purchase
money by the buyers render very
difficult the negotiation of these Sc
curities, in times like the present.
"The lower house developed an
economical bent early in the session
and the disagreements between the
two houses were largely upon mat
ters of appropriations

Dlyersification Day.

President Hightower of the Far
mers' Union has the following to
say of diversifcatior day
''Diverisfcation day was quite a
success. The reports from all parts
of the state show a very lively In
terest in that branch of the union
work. The farmers of Mississippi
fully realize the Importance of MAX
ing their farms self.sustaining. The
reports show that a larger acreage
will be planted in all home supply
crops than ever before and a cores
ponding reduction in cotton acre
age. The farmers are not only
talking, but are practicing these
principles.
ST should like to know where the
market manipulators get their infor-
nation on which to base the dope
they are sending out through paid
agents in the south to the effect that
there will be a large cotton acreage
this year. They tell us that labor
is abundant and that farm opera
tions ere advanced over former
years. The Farmers Union has the
most complete and systematic
methods for gathering such facts
that can be devised. Ny informa-
ton shows no increase in the farm
labor in Mississippi as whole. 1t
shows substantial increase in all
home supply crops and a substan-
tia1 decrease in cotton acreage. It
shows farm operations considerably
behind an average season. I cau't
speak for other states, but I know
what Mississippi is doing.
"Of course there are few trail
tors to their own best interests, but
the great majority of the planters
and farmers in Mississippi have de.
termined to quit acting the fool
which the planting of a large cotton
shows the individual tobe !"
