As a Condition.

Not long ago there was a bank
failure at Fort Scott, Kansas, and
a little later a bank at Spring
field, Missouri, failed.
In both instances the deposit
ors were assured they would get
their money, dollar for dollar,
and the work of disentangling
the affairs of both those institu-
tons is now deing diligently
prosecuted.
1t is hoped the statements as
to the depositors getting their
money will be fulfilled to the let
ter. Yet it may be fancied that
among the depositors there is a
feeling of unrest which will not
b. wholly stilled until they have
gotten their money. 1t may also
be imagined that those deposit
ors would be more at ease and
that the general situation among
the closely related interests
would be more cheerful and ami
able if, by a system of guaran-
teed deposits, no questions OF pos
sible loss to the depositors could
be entailed.
AS a theory guaranteed depos
its may seem to be pernicious and
chimerical. AS a condition it
would be pleasing and comforta-
bic. Of that there can be no pos
sible doubt.

MAIL WEIGHING ON
Started Yesterday Morning and
Will Be Continued for
105 Days.
EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY
Furnishes Basis OF Payment by Gov
ernmcnt 10 Railroads for
Carriage.

In accordance with an act Of con-
gress passed May %, 1908, the quadren-
NAL weighing Of mails IN this district
was started yesterday morning az IDOL
At the postotlice two men were taken
on while at the depot four more VIII
look after the scales there,
Every four years the government
weighs the mails for three months for
the purpose of determining the weight
of mail matter carried by the railroads,
This process costs the government con-
siderable and also provides desirable
employment for q number Of men,
over 400 being employed In this dis
trict. which embraces the New Eng
land states.
A change has been made In comput-
ing the average daily amount carried
by the railroads since the last weigh
ing Formerly when the mail was
weighed for 105 days, the weight was
divided by 90 to obtain the average
amount carried per day In this way
allowance was made for the Sundays,
on which day the weight of the matter
Is very little. Now on iO5 days weigh
ing tho average Is computed by divid-
ing by 105. hence no allowance Is made
for the sunday mails. In this way the
railroad companies suffer heavily for
the latter method cuts considerably In
to their averages.
The government pays s4.OooooO an
nually To the railroad companies for
the transportation OF the mails, the
basis taken following: si2.75 per 200
pounds per annum; SCALE pey 800
pounds per annum; $3.50 per 1000
pounds per annum; si2S,25 per 1000
pounds per annum; and so on IN q
proportionate scale.
The Weighing IN this district will last
we'll into November

SENATOR TILLMAN TALKS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.7Senator
Tllman tonight proposed to the pro-

bia, who are making fight for pro-
hibition in Washington, that they es-
tablish the dispensary. He review
ed the history of the G. M. l. IN

and said that it was a success and
would be the thing to establish here.
The .prohibitionists held a large meet
ing in the First Congregational
church and Tillman was one OF the
speakers.
It was a new thing for the senator
to be making a speech in al church,
but he made the same sort OF speech
he is wont to make on the stump In
South Carolina while preaching the
gospel Of good Ticker and he used
the same sort of words.
The church was filled to it's utmost

Another Account.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senator
BENJAMIN R. Tillman, of South Car
olina, was the principal speaker at a
meeting at the First Congregational
church in this city tonight Of the
Federation of Christian Forces Of the
District of Columbia, whose aim is to
secure prohibition for Washington.
Senator Clay, of Georgia, presided.
Mr.. Tillman expressed the opinion
that the time was not yet ripe for
prohibition in Washington, because
it had not, he said, worked well else
where. He thought the only way to
get prohibition here would be to con-
vince congress that those identified
with the movement are earnest and
sincere of purpose. To properly con-
vince congress it would, he thought,
be q good idea to gather all the tenn
perance forces and march to the cap:
itol. A resolution looking to united
action in thematter of securing pro
hibiion Legislation was adopted.

Like a Stage Play.

ENGLEWooD, S. D., Jan. 9-Albert
Jackson and Miss Minnie Burton dis
covered just before the day set for
their marriagethat they were brother
and sister, and they have gone to
Northern Minnesota to take a search
for their mother, whom they have
not seen since they were little chill
dren.
Jackson is a miner and has been in
the Black Hills for several years.
Miss Burton came to the Hills six or
seven months ago, as a book agent.
The young woman sold the young
miner some books. Jackson fell in
love with her and a few weeks ago
asked her to marry him. She con-
sented and they set day for the
nuptials. It came to light just be-
fore the date set. for the wedding
that Miss Burton's real name was
Worthington and Jackson's name was
also Worthington. They had been
adopted when children, taken the
names of their foster parents and
lost track of each other, neither even
knowing the names of the other
until the developments, which inter-
rupted their wedding plans.

capers Saves State Money.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Commis-
sioner Capers, Of the international
Revenue Bureau, today rendered a
decision to the effect that the gov.
ernment must return to the State OF
South Carolina s., ,525.0 OF collected by
the government from the retail
dispensers for the sale Of fermented
LIQUOR sold in wholesale quantities.
/. He says the evidence obtained on
the part of the federal government
would not be sufficient to sustain the
governments contention in court
and the amount paid by the State un-
der protest should be refunded.
The claim is based upon two
grounds, first that the tax, if due
should have been from the individ-
ual dispensers and not from the
State. Second, that there is a fail
ure of proof on the part Of the gov
ernment to sustain the tax:
The commissioner bases his decis-
ion on the second ground Of the
complaint, and distinctly holds the
State through its dispensaries liable
for tax as wholesale malt liquor
dealers, where they sell in wholesale
quantities. Had the decision been
against the State it would then have
been necessary for the State to pay
between $4,000 and $4,000, the
&,525.O1 representing one INSTALL
ment only.
