VISIT TO VILLA MARIA ACADEMY.
This Beautiful Suburban School Has
Been Placed in Most Excellent
Shape for the Next Term.

II was the pleasure Of an Eagle rep
resentative to visit villa Maria Acad-
envy yesterday, and be shown through
the building by Mother Superior St.
Ursula, recently OF Galveston, and
Mother Patrick. The handsome struc
ture, always clean, cool and inviting
mas been gone over in detail since the
close of the last term and is spotless
from basement to the fourth story.
The walls have been freshly tinted in
alabastine. The grounds are in per
feet order, with a wealth of flowers
and foliage, and the orchards and gar
dens have been fruitful, while a good
corn crop has been grown in the field.
With better crop prospects the la
dies are anticipating an increased at
tendance this year, and are sending
out handsome catalogues and other
advertising matter. They are grateful
to the people of Bryan for the support
and patronage they have received and
invite its continuance.
The ladies of the community are es-
pecially interested in the movement
for the building Of a large new hall
on the east side of the building, which
will be two stories high and provided
with music rooms, as we'll as with a
suitable stage for giving entertain
ments. They are raising funds for
this purpose at present.
Another matter in which they are
! interested is the collection of curios
and a place will be provided for their
reception. They will be pleased to
accept anything in this line which
friends may regard as suitable fol-
the collection. One of the attractions
Of ST. Ursula's Hill OF which visitors
take especial note is the beautiful
grotto in the grove to the east of the
building, which is constructed almost
exclusively of petrified wood.
The ladies of the community have
taken up with the county and city au
thorities the matter of securing some
kind OF a footpath or walk along Ursu
line avenue from the city to the Acad
envy before the next term of school
opens, and are hopeful to secure this
accumulation for many pupils who
desire to attend from home.

Montgomery, October 3.-(Special.)- Growing out of the fact that the rais- ing of cotton has a far-reaching in- fluence over every class of business in this section of the south, there has been a great deal of discussion with regard to the relation of banks to those who make the staple. At recent meeting in Birmingham as all know an Arrange ment was perfected by which the banks agree to aid the farmer in holding his cotton for a better price when the farmer is so situated that he can af- ford to do it. This arrangement has had It's good effect in helping many a man to keep his product off the mar ket at what he considers too low price for it.
 However, investigation shows that the sales of cottopf this year are far in ad- vance of those of any other year re- gently up to this time. It is fact that the volume Is more extensive than would be if the crop was only advanced up to the average This grows largely out of the fact that those who make the cotton are selling enough of 1t to pay their urgent obligations. The bank CTS consider that this is very ex- cellent way to take care of the situa- tion The money which the farmer gets Is paid to the merchants and the mer- chants pay their obligations to the bank and the banks in turn have been able to loan literally to the men who first made the crop.
 Farmers Profit.
 Bankers say that the time has como when any good farmer who owns his own place can get all the money he wants on his cotton. It is not neces- sary to have any general agreement before the cotton raiser can take his receipts to the bank and if he is re- sponsible and bears a good reputation he will find no difficulty in securing the cash on them. The president of one of the Montgomery banks said yester- day that he is carrying a very large number of farmers on this kind of proposition and that he has found this class of business to be safe and reliable under all circumstances. He said: T have lost only one account of a farmer in all the years that I have been dealing with them and that man was a rascal that I expect to put in the penitentiary if I am able to locate him. You can depend upon 1t that the honest farmer is a good customer for any bank. If the men who raise cot ton will sell enough to meet their ur- gent obligations and pay off those ob- uRaIlOnS 50 tHdt tiS HiOucy SOtS pdCh into circulation they will greatly increase the ability of the banks and the bus mess men to help them and at the same time make it nearer possible for them to hold their crop for better prices" Guarantee of Deposits.
 The question of the guarantee of bank deposits which Is now plank in the democratic platform is thought to be in timately associated with this question of aid to the farmers of the south. It is ] not by any means a fact that all bank
 kers are opposed to a guarantee of de- posit. On the other hand very many | of them agree that the plan is feasible | if the banking laws are so amended as 1 to make them more far-reaching than at l the present.
 For instance, a bank president points out that the examination laws must be changed so that an examiner would l not have so much territory to cover,

WELL ENTERTAINED.
Faculty and Students of Florence Uni
 versity Are the Guests.

Florence, October 3.-(Special.)-The faculty and students of the Florence uni yersity were again the honored guests at a delightful social function last night when the Baptist church entertained with a musical programme in their honor. The reception was given jointly to the univer- sity and the Normal college but the in- vitation was declined by Professor Wilson on behalf of the Normal college.
 The chorus was directed by pr. J. H. Norman, and the work was effective throughout. Dr. Norman getting results which might have been expected from trained singers. Swing Low Sweet Char iot," with the solo part taken by Col. c. w Ashcraft, was the gem of the pro- gramme.
 Interspersed through the printed pro- gramme were numbers by Miss Vincent, Miss Warren and pr. Norman of the university faculty, which were heartily encored.

TEACHERS HOLD
 FINE MEETING

Greenville, October 3.-(Specia1.)-An- other teachers institute in the county was held yesterday at Searcy, with Prof. I. D. Ward, the popular teacher at that place, as host. He has had charge of the school for 20 years or more, and the an- nual picnic for all these years has taken place just before the opening of school, the first Monday in October. To the picnic has been added another feature, the in- stitute, which makes the occasion a profit as well as a pleasure.
 A very fine programme was rendered at the school building, which is one of the best equipped in the county. The prin- cipal address was a masterly effort by Prof. P. w. Hodges of Greenville. Those who heard him realized that not only IS he one Of the best educators Of the state, but that as an orator he ranks also among the best and most interesting
 Mrs. E. D. Thames made a fine talk on the importance of school improvement as- sociations, which she has zealously ad- vocated for several years.
 At the afternoon session Mrs. Thames urged upon the school and community the importance of library. suggesting as a beginning that they secure the beneht of circulating library. Upon request or Superintendent Lewis an excellent talk on the subject was made by Mrs. M. C. Kendrick, followed by Professor Hodges and Professor Ward. From the enthus- iasm evinced it seems certain that library will soon be begun at Searcy, With the school building as the proper place to establish the books.
 The picnic dinner served on the campus was appetizing and bountiful, and the noon hour was pleasantly spent by the very large crowd of patrons, pupils ana visitors.
 The telephone exchange has been sold by C. E. Lazenby to G. H. Crenshaw, the latter having taken charge at once.
 MT. Lazenby will leave in few days for Arizona, where he will remain some time for the benefit of his health.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

and make frequent investigations of conditions. Under the present laws he could not do this. Ut would also be necessary to amend other features of the regulations in order to bring the banks up to a guarantee of. deposits basis. This banker believes that the larger banking institutions would op- pose a guarantee plan because of the established condition which they now have. and that the younger banking houses would agree to it as a means of getting in business
 State Banks.
 This banker takes the position that if there was a guarantee of national bank deposits there would also have to be state guarantee of state deposits or else the state institutions of this class would have to go out of business He believed, however, that whatever 6if- flculty was found in this particular would be eliminated by most of the state banks becoming national bank organ izations.
 This man also took the position that postal savings banks would not be of any value to communities because the funds assembled in them would be de- posted in national banks with out the territory of accumulation, and would quite frequently deplete one community of its currency to the advantage of an- other.
 Some Conclusions.
 To benefit the farmer this banker sees in all this more general distribu- ton of the currency of each community. If every man felt certain that every cent that he puts into bank would be returned to him and that there was no possibility of loss all of the people would deposit tn cir money and after that 1t would be distributed in the usual channels of circulation. It would naturally increase the amount of cur- rency and the ability of the community to handle business enterprises.
 Where this was done the farmer who now raises all that Is needed to feed and clothe the people would find little difficulty in financing his crop. He would be able to secure from the banks, which would then hold large deposits, all the money that he needed for his years work.
 Make Money Plenty.
 It would also eliminate the probabil- ities of shortage of currency, and would make interest rates such that all classes of business men, whether farm ing or otherwise, could afford to pay. It would take away the season of high interest and large profits which are now collected from the average man in the country, and put him on a basis with the merchant and the business en- terprise in the city.
 This is the way practical banker, head of national institution, who has made a success in all walks of life, looks at the situation in all its rela- tions. He has been lending money to farmers for some time with safety and profit. He believes that with a system of guarantee of deposits and moro stringent set of banking laws that money will become so cheap that all classes of citizens will be able to bor- row, and in this way finance their bus mess however small 1t may be. As a result, he anticipates that the country will be vastly better off, and that tho prospects of panic and depression will be materially reduced.

COTTON SEED AS FOOD.
Crushers' Association Is Trying To
 Popularize the Product.

Montgomery, October 3.-(Special) At meeting of the executive commit tee of the Alabama Seed Crushers' association held in this city it was agreed that a campaign to popularize the use of seed and meal products would be made. Literature will be dis tributed among the farmers and they will be shown how to make valuable feed out of cotton seed meal. It will also be shown that there IS great ln- terest in the use of cotton seed lard in the place of hog lard.
 Another matter will be that of freight rates. Heretofore less than carload lots of seed has been costing as Inucn as carloads, the roads holding that In using part of car all was taken up It is understood, however, that the roads are willing to make the conces- sion wanted.
